Autograph Leather Double Handle Hobo Bag

[doglover]

This is at the top of my budget for a quality everyday bag. I've only seen it online but am impressed by the reviews. Do you have any thoughts? Do any of you actually own it? Thanks so much.

I think it comes with it. I have bought a number of dresses like it and they all come with the under dress

twinkly ????? think you got wrong thread

[ggirl]

no idea what twinklypearls is going about but in the pic the leather looks hard
would have to see in rl

[bellavita]

The bag is lovely. I have a bag very very similar.

[doglover]

Love the comments, ladies!! TP, are you on the wine??!!!

[twinklypearls]

yes sorry wrong thread, I thought I was posting about the dress.

I like the bag by the way, my only reservation is that I was shopping for handbags earlier in the year and did look in marks and thought the leather did not feel great. You can always take it back though. I think they only had cheaper bags in when I looked, so this one should be OK.

Let me know if it is nice, as I will buy one.

Chuckle, TP!! :)

I now can't find the other thread! They need to know what I think.

I have this bag in both colours

I adore it for day to day use, perfect size to carry lots of stuff but not so big I end up with a sore shoulder. Loads of compartments, great for being organised.

Its not the softest leather its true but all in all for the price (I bought them when they had a 20% off handbags promo on) I think they are fab everyday bags

[doglover]

Thanks, GB. Maybe I'll have to brave the shops next week and have a look in rl! :)

[doglover]

It's sounding very promising.....................!!

[Gillybobs]

DId you read the reviews online? All amazing, and they are right!

Although the tan is the most practical and year-round, I must say the off-white colour is stunning and I feel great using it.

[doglover]

Yes, have read the reviews and they're uniformly amazing! I think that I'm pretty - well, completely - convinced, to be honest!!

[madammecholet]

I didn't like it...I've had a feel instore and its the hardest/stiffest leather and the bag has a weird opening, it kind of parts in the middle and has a small main compartment, which I didn't like....not big enough for me..... was not impressed. sorry.....

[doglover]

All views welcome! :)

[doglover]

UP DATE!!! I've just bought the best bag EVER!! Totally blown my budget but I'm so delighted! It feels so comfortable on my shoulder, beautifully soft leather and capacious. I'll try to do a link.............

That's nice, doglover.
Is it large enough for laptop/A4 binders? And do you think the leather would lose its shape with such hard use (as carrying a laptop)?

[doglover]

I don't need it for that usage, Animula: I think that was another person or thread. I want a bag that I'll use everyday (I'm a casual dresser - Boden / White Stuff) and this is just perfect!! :)

[bellavita]

That is one beautiful bag...

[doglover]

Thanks, Bellavita. I keep stroking it - must spray/weather-protect later - and smelling it!! :) I've never spent more than about £40 on a bag so had to take a deep breath but I looked at, felt and 'carried' loads before selecting this one. It's truly gorgeous :)
