Thank you!
Oh man I'm sorry what a frightening moment that must have been! (I hope that didn't happen while you were driving) And on a brand new bag too...ugggggh. I'm glad everything worked out ok -- and she still looks flawless. PHEW!! (Yesterday I spilled a FULL cup of coffee on my white couch--and I put coconut oil in my coffee so it's oily. So I can relate to that moment of "oh my gawd what have I done- did that really just happen" - luckily the couch is slip covered so it created a ton of laundry but it all came out... we both got lucky!).
Yes ma'am, it is! I'm afraid I went on a bit of a hobo spree and I am now hobo satisfied and thoroughly banned. I've found it's nearly impossible to find them without the "break" in at least one end of the shoulder strap, but i do love the size and the way it hangs when worn.
You are lucky to find a Magano Hobo! Gorgeous!
BTW, what's the "break" you mean? Kindly enlighten me

Of course Peace, happy to. I am in the midst of summer house cleaning but will post photos to show you a bit later... that's the easiest way. xoxYou are lucky to find a Magano Hobo! Gorgeous!

Glad you had a cover on your sofa--yikes! Spilling coffee on a sofa is much worse than on a purse because you have to look at your couch everyday! I can't wait to see all your hobos (as you mentioned you went on a spree -- I love hobos more than satchels tbh).
omg! one of the best blues from Balenciaga. I love it, but can't dare it
interesting, the suede jacket is also bal?

Okie doke ladies. Here you go. BTW Iamminda, I am recently carrying and loving hobos / days / shoulder bags also, in truth I think they've always been my favorites. I do love the City, but lately I'm liking the effortlessness of carrying something on my shoulder. The Day is actually more comfortable than the hobo (which was only ever made in G21 hardware, and thus is heavier and sometimes can dig into your shoulder if the contents are heavy. I have never had that issue with a Day bag, be it regular or G21 hardware and I can't figure out why, but must be something in the physics of the design I guess).
So Peace, the "break" I'm talking about can also commonly be found on older first bags for some reason. I've always thought that on Firsts it was because someone may have forced the handles over their shoulder instead of using the strap, thereby causing the "tubing" inside the handle to stretch or separate from the "base" just above the handle stud. With hobos, it is most common on the front end of the shoulder strap in my experience, and I think it results from a combination of the contents of the bag being heavy and/or the wearer reaching into the bag whilst still on the shoulder and putting repeated pressure on the front side of the shoulder strap. Here are some photos of what I mean. The black/GSH hobo has a lovely body but the shoulder strap came to me utterly spent at both ends; the plomb/GGH has an intact handle on both sides. You can see the "kink" in the black/GSH, whereas the plomb/GGH arcs smoothly and does not kink when bent. Here goes:
