Customer Reviews HOBO Camilla

Adorable little purse. The small scale keeps me in check from carrying too much stuff around with me. The buckle-side strap seems as though it was sewn on to the purse backwards, so the buckle wants to turn in toward your body as you carry the purse. I was about to package the purse up and send it back thinking it was a manufacturing defect, but checked the photos on Zappos -- it seems it's suppose to be that way. It's not really that annoying, and it's otherwise really well made.

Perfect size and stylish too - This is the bag I've been looking for! All the other small bags are TOO small... I'm sorry, I carry more than my ATM card and a micro cell phone. But it's not so big that you look sacrifice stylishness while carrying it. The black leather is versatile enough to go with just about everything from casual wear to a club dress. I was a little leery of spending so much on a small bag, but it's been well worth it. Love it!

Great "Small" Bag - I initially purchased this bag for my daughter who was going overseas for two weeks. She decided to use a different bag, so I kept it for myself. I love the yellow color (Very spring). The size was a bit of an adjustment for someone who usually carries rather large bags. However, I always carry a tote along with my bag, now it's not necessary I just slip this bag inside. Love the compartments on the inside. I'm of average height and size (5"4" size 10) and the strap works well for me when worn crossbody.

The perfect travel bag... I carry a tote with me when I fly but like to have a bag like this as well for ID, credit cards, cell phone, cash, etc. Very handy that it goes across your body, nothing to hold on to, etc. Secure, too. Had another one by Hobo that was similar w/a skinny strap and someone tried to cut it off my shoulder in Las Vegas....opted for this one w/the much wider strap. Holds a lot for its size. Great for shopping, travel, etc. Their bags last forever...

Fits things well in a small area - Can easily fit the essentials but isn't wearing that well so far-leather seems to be aging quickly.

Almost Perfect - I love this purse. The only thing I would change is that it should be about 1/2 inch bigger - my check book doesn't fit...

It's a small one! Nice and polished-looking, as so many Hobo bags often are. Definitely too small for most people's everyday needs, but nice if you're going to dinner or maybe away for the weekend where you don't want to be shlepping a big bag everywhere. Cross-body option with the strap is handy, too.

Ooh! Disappointed . . . Beautiful leather, well molded with only OK details. Too small to be a functional purse yet too clunky to be a small, smart carry-around for short hops about town or on a city tour while traveling.

Tab attachments wearing quickly - I love this bag's size, the way it opens wide, the sleek appearance, but after only less than 2 months of use the tabs that attach to the cross body strap are wearing precariously thin! I will probably not buy a HOBO brand purse again, unless the hardware is less sharp, and thus less prone to wearing the leather so rapidly. I am disappointed.

Hobo International Camilla - Overall I like the bag, but the large metals zippers constantly clink together so it is somewhat annoying. I make a lot of noise when I walk around with it.

This is a fun and comfortable bag that's easy to carry and just the right size. The color also goes with numerous outfits!

Adorable - It's a small, adorable weekend bag. It frees up your hands for other things like toddlers and shopping.

Love this bag. I prefer the cross-body style because it helps my posture: I'm not always hunching up one shoulder to keep my purse on my shoulder. I also like it for travel because it's harder to snatch. Plus, small x-body bags are light and you can carry one all day without getting tired. But the thing that I dislike about most cross-body bags is how unstylish they are. They often are made out of nylon or some other fabric; often there are too many unsightly zippers. I always use one for travel, butoften felt as though it made me look like I had just let myself go, you know, given up on trying to be chic and attractive. So the really great thing about THIS bag is how elegant it is. It is smooth and sleek, shapely, made of high quality leather, has a nice structure to it, with plenty of those great internal, cleverly designed pockets that Hobo does so well. It is an extremely high quality product for the price. This is my second Hobo bag and I think I'm now more loyal to Hobo than I am to some of the more high profile "luxury" brands I've had in the past. The other great thin abou tthe bag is the zipper, which runs 3/4 of the circumference, making it quick & easy to access the interior. The thing that puts me off most cross-body bags is that they all seem to ahve a flap top with some sort of elaborate closure. I can't get into a bag like that without wrestling with it, or putting it down on a flat surface to open it. I want a handbag that willmeet my need for quick access while still looking stylish, and this bag is the only one that does both for me. (Maruca also makes some nice cross-body bags, out of lovely and interesting fabrics, but I can't buy them online because every once in a while, the stitching on this brand puckers the fabric a little, especially on the pockets, making the bag look clumsy.) The only downside of this otherwise perfect bag: the exterior pocket is about 3 millimeters too short to hold a vertical iPhone. This seems to me to be a design flaw. You can jam your phone in there sideways, but then it's harder to pull out. That's my only complaint. Otherwise, this bag is exactly the product I've been searching for now for about 5 years.

Efficient little purse with several compartments. Holds $, credit cards, sunglasses (unless really bulky), lipstick, small comb, pen, iPhone, passport, receipts easily. A smidge narrow for checkbook folders or wad of bulky keys + clickers. Would not hold wallet. Love using it as a cross body, keeping hands free and as in airports (boarding pass must be folded).

I had to think a while about whether to keep it or not. The rouge is a gorgeous color and design is very cute. Unfortunately, the size was just too small for my glasses case which is a necessity.

Oh, Camilla. How I wanted to love thee. With thy hue of Gulden's Mustard and leather smooth as a baby's butt, thou art a thing of beauty. Alas, thy side pocket doth not accommodate my iPhone and thus, thou must be returned.

I really like this purse! Great color, quality leather, very roomy interior for a mini! I agree with a previous reviewer about the strap...almost seems like one side of the strap is attached backwards...I've made peace with this by wearing the bag with that side facing inward toward my body...no one can detect what I see as an error, but I'm knocking the "style" down to a 4 because of that strap.

This bag combines good looks with a lot of storage. Dimensions make it compact but inside two sections, center zip compartment, and an outside zip for a farecard. Galaxy smartphone easily fits into one section. Strap is sleek and strong. Leather is substantial. A really good buy.

Love this purse! Perfect for travel. Fits a small wallet, phone, passport cash, pens, lipstick or Chapstick, and surprisingly more.

I am so in love with this sweet little Camilla bag. I was afraid that it might be too small but it is perfect, I even have a little space in there! The leather feels so yummy that I just want to sit and pet it! And as usual, Zappos' service is truly excellent so this is a win-win-win! Thank you!

Love this purse! It is the 4th one I have purchased over many years. Fits perfectly into briefcase/tote for work, fabulous for international travel -- very versatile. Small enough so not heavy to carry, easy to wear cross body, yet plenty enough room to hold all the essentials. Highly recommend!

This is a great bag with a lot of smart features. I wanted to keep it because it's cute and well made. I love the red lining. But I bought it for travel, and the inner pockets do not hold a passport or a cell phone fully, and when I put a pared-down collection of travel stuff (really pared down!) the zippers did not close easily, buckled a bit (really, there was not much in there) and that decided it. I love the zipper that goes around the edge, the front and back placement of the buckles, the weight and shape and leather. So much to like. It is just not big enough. Suggestion: better zippers, and a much deeper outer zipper pocket. It did not hold two lipsticks without the zipper complaining about the stretch.

I love this little bag - so cute and stylish without giving up function! I can fit my giant cell phone, keys, and essentials ... you know - lip gloss, gum, and my Tide stick (I can be a hot mess sometimes) I chose the Red, because it's a neutral color - right? Actually I chose red because I LOVE how bright and rich the color is. And the contrasting interior helps me find those needed essentials. - BRILLIANT! The strap is perfect and so easy to wear all day. If I was to nit pick ... it would be that the Red has just one zipper vs. the two shown in the video - not a huge deal, but two zippers would have been nice.

Love the purse. The only negative, the strap looks like it is on backwards because the buckle is facing down rubbing on your shoulder rather than facing up. I was going to return it until a friend of mine said they are made that way. Yes, it still bothers me but I love the purse so much I try not let it bother me. Holds a full size wallet and large cell phone perfectly!
