Just wondering how all of you that own Hobos are still liking them?? I took mine out today to maybe change into for the first time, but she just didn't feel as nice as int the store. Is it because I am spoiled to Phoebe??
Cornflower Blue or Saffiano Navy??

I felt the same way when I first brought home the my cornflower and silt hobos. They were flat and square out of the bag. I finally un-stuffed my cornflower, made the smiley slouch, and hung her on my treadmill for a day and a half - She's gorgeous now!
In store, they've been unwrapped for a couple weeks - and on display under lights (heat) for all of that time - they've developed a nice slouch - Do the same to yours, and you'll love her!
Do you think I will have enough inside to develop a slouch?? I carry a wallet, vera bradley cosmetic case, keys and phone most of the time. Nothing much more....
Definitely - the leather slouches on it's own, without any weight. I had nothing in mine when I hung it on the treadmill. Hang it by the short strap.
Love those little Vera Bradley cosmetic cases - takes a lot of weight out of a bag!
Okay, I will try that!!! I will hang it by the short strap from the doorknob. You are right about the vera cases. I also like the fact that they are lined and washable. Most of the time you can find a color that coordinates beautifully with the coach colors. The canyon pattern has a little bit of blue in it that looks beautiful with cornflower.
I haven't seen these in person, but am very interested in the CF n/s tote....this navy one is N/S, but the CF is E/W? Both are so pretty!I saw them both and have pics of both. I originally preferred the navy but DH pointed out that he thought it would be difficult to see the detail outside of the light. In the picture I took, the lights in the store definitely pick up the richness. I also own a navy bag.
DH pointed out the it was easier to see the stitching and contrast of the leather edging on the cornflower. He notices this stuff.When I reexamined both bags, what he said made a lot of sense to me. I obviously ended up with the CF tote.

Let me dig for the CF pics
Just wanted to give an update without starting a new thread. I went last Saturday and exchanged my Cornflower Hobo for Cornflower Phoebe. I love the color but wasn't happy with the way the Hobo would not stand when sitting down. I have always loved the small Phoebe so it is perfect!! I purchased the dot cosmetic case and wristlet in the blue dots. I exchanged the skinny wallet for the Saffiano soft wallet in Navy so it will coordinate with the Navy E/W Saffiano tote that I purchased as well, on the advice of my SA. Oh, I also purchased the House key fob to use on my keys.....not sure about that one.
I was curious if the Cornflower blue tote is seasonal? Would you use that bag now, in the winter? I was lucky enough to receive it for my birthday (May) and just received the adorable matching cosmetic bag... just wasn't sure if I have to wait until spring to sport it??
I love blue. Personally I would carry it year-round. I don't think very many people follow those seasonal rules anymore.
I have an ice-blue bag that was also called cornflower. Even though the color is light, it reminds me of ice so I always carry it in the winter.
I carry many of my bright bags in the winter. Most of my winter clothing is dark and they add a pop of color.
Not at all, i think it's wonderful for winter even more so if you live where it's "true" winter, that Cornflower is a great versatile colour IMO.
