For all of you who have read my saga re: the Good Girl Hobo (Grrr- so mad thread)- help me out- what should I get next? I loved how the Hobo looked (a little tough, but fairly grown up and somewhat conservative at the same time) and it was the perfect size. So when I finally get this matter resolved- what should I get instead? $300 dollar range. Definately leather. Probably black but maybe plum. Needs to fit over my shoulder. Like the idea of how the Good Girl had shoulder and tote handles. I like bags with the little metal feet (don't know why- just think they're a good thing). I'm open to all suggestions and love a good deal (don't we all). Don't like Coach, Dooney, or the like. Would like something fun but erring on conservative and want something that not everyone has. Thanks in advance :smile:

I've been looking at it and definately like it. Do you own one? Is the leather soft but durable? And my only real concern with this bag was- is it too big? I'm a petite 5'4"- do you think the frame bag would over-power me?
 
I have the HH havana hobo in black and the leather is just scrumptiously soft and huggable, and durable. Very good quality leather. :P Lots of fans of HH on this forum too. I do not think the bag would overpower you because of the shape and style. They hang just beautifully and I really think you would be tickled with it. For the price, you can't go wrong. The only reason I haven't already grabbed one is that I try to spread out my bag buying dollars in different brands so I can try different ones...I do love my Havana, though.. I see they have the Nico on sale for $395, if that comes down a bit more, I may go ahead and grab it...but right now am eyeing a couple of Botkier bags...
 
DiamondGirl1- I love the Botkier bags too. Saw them "live" at Neimans and the leather is lovely. They are just a bit more than I'm looking to spend. Being in law school really zaps the amount of "fun money" I have:sad:
