Customer Reviews HOBO Sheila Medium

I ordered the dark blue, and the color is beautiful. I am 5'0", and the adjustable strap makes it fit perfectly and not too big against my hip. The strap is narrow, which makes me wonder if it would dig into my shoulder if the bag was full and heavy. I like the grab handles (but I think that an expensive bag should have little feet--maybe it's not meant to be put on the ground). However, a modern bag that costs this much doesn't account for cell phones. There is an exterior pocket, and I thought that the phone sticking out of the pocket in the photos was just to show where the phone goes, but it actually sticks out because the pocket is too shallow for the phone to drop down into it. I have a Pixel 7, and it's too long to put into the pocket horizontally. I figured that wasn't a big deal, and I'd just use one of the interior pockets for the phone, but they were too narrow. I don't want to have to open the bag and dig around for my phone when I need it.

I'm a big Hobo bag fan. They are thoughtfully designed, beautiful, and the leather is soft and supple. This bag is no exception. Sadly, it's a tad too small for me to use as an everyday bag so it's going back.

Love it, not too big, not too small. Soft leather. Great quality. Used twice so far within a week and got compliments each time.

I love the look of this bag. Perfect size and look for me. Unfortunately, the crossbody strap is crazy short. I am 5'8" and the bag feels tucked under my armpit instead of near my waist. The strap is not adjustable. Returning it.

Love love love. So lightweight and the perfect size.

What a gorgeous bag. Beautiful color. Soft leather. The size is perfect- holds everything but not too big. The handle and optional strap make this bag versatile. I love it!

The quality of this bag is great, and the color beautiful. Though the dimensions are listed, I overestimated its size. Sadly, it was a bit too small for my needs, so it had to go back.

Perfect size and works great as a cross body!

Didn’t like the soft leather. Not like other Hobo purses I have.

I have several Hobo Sheila Medium bags and like the fit and style. I returned this particular bag because I couldn't tell from the photos that the tiny "spots"on it are like silver glitter. I thought they were white dots and not as flashy as glitter.

I was pretty disappointed when it arrived. First, it is very dark navy and almost black. The long shoulder strap is not adjustable and where it hit on my body when I wore it as a crossbody style was not in a good spot. The smaller handles that you can put on your wrist or arm do not fold down for when you're wearing it as a crossbody. To me, they're just in the way then if you can't fold them down. Overall it looked a lbit cheap in materials for the price. Size is good if you're looking for a medium-ish size bag but otherwise very underwhelming. I'm returning it.

I love the bag and Hobo. Unfortunately my problem is with Zappos. I ordered the bag through Amazon and it was shipped to me through Zappos. It was sent without the shoulder strap, shown in picture for the shoulder bag, and is obviously warn and used. I found pennies inside while looking for the strap. It was also without the hobo storage bag. Very disappoing for a 300.00 bag.
