I really thought the MBMJ Hillier hobo would be my ideal winter bag....until I tried it on today in Nordys. Yes, the leather was soft, but I didn't care for the thick pebbly texture. Can someone suggest some nice soft slouchy medium sized hobos that come in the brown/caramel family? $800 is my upper limit.

thanks!
 
Hmm, if you didn't like the pebbled leather of the Hilier, you probably wouldn't like the leather of the Flash Leola. It's a very soft but textured lamb's leather - way more textured than the Hilier

How about the Hayden Harnett Havana Hobo? It's one of their most popular styles -- super soft leather, very slouchy and extremely easy to carry

I like the look of that leather-nice and smooth.......not a fan of big thick tassles though-is it removable? I wonder if it's not easily accessible with that fold over flap(?)
 
I prefer your Astor hobo. I tried one on at my Nords and found it very comfy. The shoulder strap was very generous as well. Definitely check it out if you can. And I do. Ot think the studs are tacky. They are understated and in moderation. I will eventually get one.
