Default Leather belted ergo hobo

Anyone have one of these. All of a sudden I am really drawn to them. If you have one, how do you like it? How much can you fit into it?

I have one in Black and surprisingly it holds quite a bit. It is so light to carry if I don't overfill it. I like mine.

I have the medium size one (I think the item # is 11260) and I LOVE it. It can hold my hamptons french purse turnlock wallet, cell phone, face moisturizer, hand sanitizer, and wristlet. I haven't been using it since I got my carly though, because the hobo can't hold a bottle of water and I usually carry a bottle of water wherever I go.

Oh yeah, it is extremely light, fits great on the shoulder, and the plum color is gorgeous!

I have it in that color, and I really like it. It is lightweight and pretty roomy considering it is a medium hobo.

I have the Ergo Belted Hobo Tobacco in the Large size.
It fits everything I need and the belting details make it
really stand out. I really love it. Here are some photos.

I got a belted ergo, but the biggest one they've got! It's the same colour but it's slightly different. Here is a picture I got from the Internet (sorry, I'm too lazy this morning to take out my digital camera to upload). It's a huge bag and I love it. I could have gotten the black version seen below but the plum colour (for some strange reason) looked better on me. I got this bag at 50% off at a boutique sale (from $498 to $249) and it has the legacy stripe lining. It's a beautiful huge bag but it's heavy because it's got all that leather on it. It also has the dogleash closure instead of a zipper closure. I carry a large makeup bag under the closure and it matches the colour of the bag and the legacy stripe so I'm fine with that. I bet you can snag one from an outlet store. In terms of stuffing something in there, I bet it can fit a soccer ball in there and still have lots of room.

I've seen that bag you have listed above. It's quite a broad east/west bag and you can store a wallet, 2 wristlets, cellphone, makeup, and maybe gloves and recycle cloth bag in there easily.

Take care,


Take care,

BTW, my bag is exactly the same as CoachGirl84's thread of the bag she saw on eBay. Here is her link:

Coach ERGO Plum Leather Belted LARGE Tote 11265

It's quite a luscious plum colour when you take into consideration how huge it is!

Take care,

I had that same exact bag. It was very pretty, comfortable, etc, but I sold it to fund what was my new obsession at that time - the raisin Legacy shoulder bag. I felt I didnt need two purple bags. HA! Now I have three purple bags - duh! Its a beautiful bag and I would probably get it again, but in a different color this time! I also really love that belted ergo tote - I was THIS close to buying one on eBay several times recently. One day...

I have it in signature and you can fit a TON in it. I don't know if the leather version shares this trait, but if it's very underfilled it can look sorta lopsided--the top half caves in towards your body. Maybe the hardware pulls it out of shape. It's a great bag if you keep a good amount of stuff in it, and never falls off my shoulder.

I bought my mom the brown version of that bag. She loves it and it can fit all her stuff that she used to carry in her Vera Bradley Little Betsy bag.

Thanks so much for all the comments (and pics), it was all very helpful and I appreciate it.
This bag shape would be different than anything I currently own, perhaps that is why I am drawn to it. And that berry color just seals the deal for me.

Yep! I have that bag! I got it last november on sale at nordies and i loveeee it. you really can fit a lot in it and after a few days the leather gets slouchy and the strap really conforms to your shoulder. i get so many comments on it!
