HOBO

Merrin

This bag is beautiful and versatile. It’s comfortable to carry all day worn as a backpack and the side zipper pocket is accessible while keeping it on your back, phone pocket too, which is convenient. Big enough to carry a 20 oz water bottle and travel umbrella as well as the usual items. I have the whiskey color and will use it year round. I love HOBO bags and wallets.

This bag is awesome! it easily moves from a backpack to an over-the shoulder purse with just a easy tug of the straps. it holds so many things and has plenty of pockets for all of your things inside. there is one zipper opening on the outside of the bag that I use for my sunglasses and Covid mask. And there’s an additional pocket in the very back of the purse to hold your cell phone. (I won’t use it for my cell though bc if someone’s standing behind me, they could pull my phone out and I wouldn’t know.) The fabric inside reminds me of a Japanese tea party. it’s gorgeous. And last but not least, I can carry a real wallet in it and easily find my money and credit/debit cards. And… it’s SOOO LIGHT TO CARRY! I got the Jade Green - beautiful. I’ve received so many compliments. Worth the money!!

This bag in Whiskey is beautiful! The color is actually more like the color of caramel candy. The leather is very soft and the quality is just what I expect from Hobo. I absolutely love their products. I’ve given several wallets and purses as gifts and only have a tote and a wallet for myself until now. ? The Merrin style is perfect for day trips. It holds a book, water bottle, wallet, tablet, sunglasses, and other small items with ease. The cell phone pocket is deep and snug so no concern about it falling out. Something that is not shown in the photos is that you can cinch the backpack straps like a drawstring bag for a more casual look and also a more secure close, if you’re wearing it as a backpack in tight quarters such as on a subway. If you loosen the adjustable straps the whole way it can even be worn crossbody, so lots of wearing options. I often get a sore shoulder from carrying a heavy purse all day and this is my first backpack purse, so I’m really looking forward to being able to switch it up. BTW this color is sold out on Hobo’s website, hence why I bought it here. As always Zappos was quick and easy to buy from.

Love it but The zipper is stickey. Driving me crazy

Did not love the whiskey color. Would’ve bought here in green but it’s priced higher here than it is with manufacturer. Contacted Zappos to find out why and did not receive satisfactory answer, so I bought it elsewhere. (Looks like red is priced here correctly.)
