Customer Reviews HOBO Blaze Backpack

I bought this purse for traveling to Europe. It may sound odd but last year I went to Paris with a super light cotton purse that laid flat that was great but a purse on your shoulders for hours while you do tourist things actually does start to hurt your back. But who wants to carry a back pack around Europe and into all those chic restaurants? Dnn ta dnngh enter this purse. On your back in the museum then adjust the handles and go to dinner. It's genius. This purse comes in two different kinds of leather, I kind of wanted the "velvet" but since I plan on traveling with it I chose the "vintage" because being a hobo fan I knew it would stand up better to the horrors of the road. The vintage is a sturdier leather the repels water and stains better than the velvet leather. I really like the size and layout for the little things that are nice to have on your body while traveling. Plenty of room for a kindle, a passport, a make up bag, and a swell water bottle. But it is not a back pack, it's a purse you can wear as a back pack. It's a regular bucket purse size. I got the brown, I've been drooling over brown leather purses and don't have one yet so. It's a banana nut bread brown.

I'm a small purse person and I was looking for something that wasn't a clutch or crossbody, but maybe those don't exist? Decided to try this one because I loved the moss color. IRL, the color is just a tad lighter than the photos, but I think it's beautiful. It's a little bit bigger than I wanted, but I realized I could put my Yeti and a hoodie in it and be hands free. The leather is already super soft and the inner lining looks classy. There's plenty of pockets for all my things inside and I like the outside zippered pocket for my phone. Plus, having the option of an over-the-shoulder purse or a backpack is so versatile, I can hardly stand it. Overall, one week in and this is already my favorite purse/bag.

I really like this bag - I own two different colors in this bag. It's a different kind of bag but very user friendly. Something I will use everyday pretty much. Looks good with my black, army green, and brown clothes well. I thought the rose gold wouldn't look good with my silver and gold but it doesn't matter because so many people mix metals. Very different color from original brown or black. This rose gold will look good in all the seasons. I was scared that it would be too bright but its elegant color. The feel of the bag is nice too - feels like an expensive bag. Holds a lot of my essentials without looking bulky. I have my wallet, change purse, mophie charger, 6s plus, and 12345 lip glosses. I could add more if I needed. I use the exterior pocket for my keys and my cell, a quick grab spot.

Comfortable, stylish, and versatile!

i really wanted to like this bag, the leather is great and looks sharp, but i should have read the reviews first, it is very small. I am looking for a convertible type bag but this one is too small for my ipad. if your looking for a small convertible bag, this is it!

Great, versatile bag. I bought it for a trip to Italy and it was great, though a tad small for me. And I would have preferred a darker color. Used it as a back-pack a lot during the day walking around and then would convert it to a shoulder purse for dinner. Leather got much softer with use.

I really loved this backpack, it was the perfect size!!! But, only after a few months of use, the strap ripped:(. The bag can either be a backpack or over the shoulder purse. I guess switching it back and forth took its toll. Very disappointing , especially how much it’s costs. I still gave it 4 stars cause it really was my favorite backpack/purse I’ve ever owned ?.

I wanted to love this bag but it just didn't work for me. The bucket bag style is cute and I like the little small zip pocket in the front but it is pretty small and you can only fit a few items in. The backpack functionality is what I was really looking for but I ended up looking like a teeny bopper with a $200 mini backpack <--- this is why it's going back. The tassel is wicked cute and the bag itself is also cute, it just won't work for me. It also had a horrible smell that I've seen other reviewers mention that I have not encountered with a Hobo bag before.

So beautiful in person and the perfect size! Also love all the pockets! Shoulder straps are adjustable.

This is a beautiful bag that is a perfect size with lots of inside pockets and the outer zipper for key fob or whatever. I love the red color and the leather is so beautiful. I also love the backpack option for when I need hands to be free. Highly recommend!
