Travelon Anti-theft Heritage Hobo Bag, Indigo, One Size

Comment

Do I love this bag too much? Possibly. I bought three Travelon bags (the other two: 3 compartment crossbody and signature hobo) because its so hard to tell from pictures and descriptions which will be the best. As soon as I laid eyes on this, I knew it was the one! The quality is fantastic, its adorable, and the size is perfect. I would use this bag even without all the anti-theft features. Its barely tall enough to fit my 20 oz Camelbak bottle, but a regular water bottle would fit perfectly inside.There are four major compartments, plus the zippered RFID pocket inside the main compartment (I missed one in my pictures). I wish the RFID pocket was a little bigger because my wallet doesnt actually fit in it. The straps are wide and comfortable. The bag is soft and super cute! Its cool that it comes with two different length straps. You just have to decide before you go out which length you want. I usually opt for the crossbody because I like my hands totally free. But the shorter one is great to have. The size of the bag is perfect for me. Im only 51" so big bags look weird on me. This bag is fairly spacious but not at all too big. And I LOVE all the pockets! Hmmm, Im sure I have many more thoughts on this amazing bag, so feel free to ask me if you have questions!

I travel a lot, therefore I am quite picky when I choose the bag that I will relay on during the time I will be away. First I am looking for the " friendliness " of the bag, and yes, there is such a thing as an annoying companion even if it is an object. Then the size and then the price. But look, I am holding everything of importance in the bag and the bag is with me all the time, so yah I am looking for a friendly companion. I want my bag to stay on my shoulder, to balance comfortable when I move, not to scratch my hand with the zipper when I reach in, and to to force me into a war when I want to put something in. Well, this Travelon Anti-Theft Heritage Hobo is really nice and friendly. Is made of thick but soft canvas, so it does not have that nylon feel. It looks ready for adventure in a rugged but not overly sporty. You can wear it on the shoulder or over the body and it stays put balanced perfectly. The zippers are not attacking you when you reach in and there is no need to struggle to put things in or to take them out. Now about the size : is about perfect. You can put in a kindle , an I pad air, a travel organizer with with your passport ,a small camera, your " plus" size phone, chargers, make- up. and you still have room to play with ... and that is the main compartment only !There is another secured compartment in front that can hold your wallet and keys and whatever you use more often but need to be secured from wondering hands, in the back of the bag there is yet another compartment that can hold a book easily, a map , sunglasses, napkins, even an compact umbrella. I have the Pewter color and is quite pleasant, the insides are a nice material that does not get dirty easily and more important , is not of a color that makes you cringe when you look inside, because frankly "pink" is way overrated and other pastel colors are good for luggage. This is a bag .What I like the most about it is the way is compartmented and how practical it is , the size and feel and even the color. I would have liked the possibility of another material beside the canvas, but I think that I would have chosen the canvas anyway . I give it five stars !

I love this bag. It is very attractive, but I wont be using it for the purposes I intended. I thought a bag 13x10x4 would fit my folder size laptop, but it doesnt even come close. The opening is only about 9 inches. I took photos comparing it to a US standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

Useful design, but all my light color jeans and T-shirts were stained by rubbing against my brand new dark navy Hobo Bag. The dye rubbed off onto my clothes in the high humidity weather of Hong Kong and Taipei where I was traveling.

Im the type of person who has 1 purse for everything, everyday. My last purse I used for 5 years practically every day, and oh boy did I need a new one. This is that new purse. After about 6 months of owning it, I think I can give it an accurate rating: First of all, I immediately unclipped the smaller strap. I always use the long one, so cant comment on the durability of the smaller one, sorry. Second, I looove all the different pockets! I can keep my coach wallet, a portable phone charger, all of my keys, sunglasses, my pocket knife, and of course my femine hygiene products comfortably. It will easily fit a water bottle. Third, I would give the strap itself 3 stars. Its not that comfortable. The length I like makes the metal adjustment thing sit right on my shoulder, which is kind of a design flaw. If you use the shorter strap you probably will be fine. Overall, its a great purse for everyday use and holds up well. Maybe not comfortable to use on a trip where youre walking around all day, but its perfect for me!
