Black and nutmeg will be always my fab colours for the Heloise

.
If you are going for a new one, I would choose pinkberry

I was so close to buying this bag in nutmeg during the one day NM sale,
it's so nice. Definitely still on my wish list!

hi, can you give me the email, website, and phone number for the Chloe boutique in Italy? i would like the hobo in milk or navy.

also, have you had a problem with the handle on any of your heloise hobo's? after carrying my nutmeg hobo for a few hours, the handle broke!

thanks for your help!

Oh NO, I'm so sorry to hear that - none of my handles have had any problem. I was hoping it wasn't going to be an issue with the Hobos as it had with other Helis. I did not buy from the Italy boutique, but from the Bal Harbour, Florida boutique. They definitely need to repair or replace your bag though.

Wow, I really like the hobo version. Especially navy.

ggk84 · May 16th, 2009, 11:12 AM

The navy is incredibly beautiful! I have a thing for navy bags and shoes in just that saturated, inky shade of blue. Congrats on your latest addition!

1. the leather is amazing, very thick and sturdy yet soft, with that beautiful Heloise glaze; the colors are delicious and deep and nicely saturated
2. it wears in with just a week of use and develops this incredible pillow-y slouch, and the little nicks and distressings that show on the leather with use make it look sort of vintage and so uniquely mine
3. the drop is fantastic, it fits my shoulder perfectly, is 100% comfortable and doesn't slide
4. the hardware is sturdy but not showy and so far so good with the quality of the handles and attachments
5. the magnetic closure is excellent, they magnetized quite a bit internally all around the press closure and once it is closed, it stays closed (it does close asymmetrically like most hobos, but I like that)
6. it holds everything and then some, but for some people it could turn into a bottomless pit type of bag if they carry lots of loose items
7.it is incredibly lightweight, which is pretty unique for a lot of Chloes, in particular Heloise
8. it just has a great and unique look to it and I can wear it anywhere with just about anything

(did I convince??)

I told you it wouldn't be hard - I'm convinced
