The hobo is the Crawford Hobo and it's stunning! Really soft deerskin. I almost bought one last year but decided I didn't need another hobo. They are gorgeous, though.

so happy to hear that you're delighted with the Crawford...I've been wondering how you like the Moss color.

I purchased two Be&D bags through their sample sale a couple of weeks ago and if you check my postings, there are photos for the red Ingrid and floral flocking Garbo satchel along with descriptions. The quality of the bag is top notch (leather, zippers, hardware, workmanship) and I'm just thrilled to have them, esp. since they were so inexpensive (both were samples, but in near perfect condition). Similar to what bagachondric mentioned, I too do not pay full retail for ANY bag, but I can see why they are priced the way they are. My suggestion, take advantage of the sales that you see for them. If you have specific questions, please ask - I'll be delighted to help!

Yeah! You got the Mena! I was eyeing that thing for ages and almost bought it cuz I think it's so great looking. Did you get it in this color? Pleeze post pics if you can, esp. with you carrying the purse. So, tell me more.....is the outside pocket convenient (magnetic closure?), I'm assuming that you can wear it comfortably on the shoulder? What's the leather like? I think it's like the leather on the Ingrid - not smooth with lots of character?
What does the side and back of the purse look like? I swear, NM and BG do a lousy job at posting pics.
Details, details, details...living vicariously through your recent purchase.... Thrilled for you!
I have a Be & D garbo and love it. I think the leather quality is superb. I use to own 2 other bags but decided to sell them. I would definitely buy more in the future though.
BTW, I started a thread of celebs with Be & D bags. Check it out:
