I love the design of Hobo International bags, and I especially love their marigold leather. This bag is nice and big and holds all of my stuff. I can even slide my ipad into the outer pocket. However, the bag pictured is yellow with yellow stitching. The bag I received is yellow with BRIGHT PURPLE stitching. What the? Of all the colors in the world, the one I can't stand is purple. Also, the bag in the picture looks soft and smooth and elegant. The bag I have is wrinkly and casual. Not sure that I will keep it.

Hobo bags have a lovely quality, but it's always hard to find the full line in stores. I wanted something appropriate for the fall to replace my favorite yellow Hobo, so this one jumped out at me. I did a lot of online searching, and this was the only one I saw in this color in this style. Love it. The inside is orange - which is fabulous. I hate bags with black interiors, as it's hard enough to find things on the bottom. This one has lovely styling and the straps are a great length for a shoulder bag. Will definitely see me through till spring.

I dithered for a day. 3 were left. 2 were left. 1 was left.

This afternoon it arrived.

The Leather on the purse is SMOOTH.
THE STITCHING IS YELLOW!

The bag is entirely beautiful. It is huge. It will hold all my needs. It is smart looking. I am well pleased.

I see that all the reviews written on the bag were for the Marigold one. Other... Read more
