Ok, let me preface this by saying I love the overall look of the Kristin Hobo.
I have the large one in Marine. The color is BEAUTIFUL and the design is very feminine, not too casual, not to dressy...just right!
The pocket with the adorable gold clasp on the front of the bag is my favorite part.
BUT...............(and this is a big BUT......)
I find it so hard to get my things in and out of this bag! First off, the zipper follows the lines of the bag, so it's kind of like a smiley face and zipping it all the way ''up'' to the outer corners is necessary for me to create a hole big enough to see my stuff and get it out, yet it''s difficult to unzipper it with one hand because it requires force to open it up all the way to the corner.
Secondly, and this is my biggest gripe of all, the shoulder strap with the heavy hardward is always in the way, flopping over the bag once I finally have it unzipped, making it annoying to work around it to get stuff out, and crushes the top of the bag (thus disfiguring the hobo shape).
Am I just super picky or does anyone else feel this way?
I originally bought the Kristin Zip Top Tote in marine but returned her for the hobo b/c I thought the tote was too long E/W and also a bit matronly.
UGH!
