I returned my Ergo hobo

I feel the same way abt all the ergo bags--none of them fit me "right". The largest carly is sooo comfortable, but still too big for me. I'm still debating it, though.
 
Me and my best friend were at the boutique today and neither one of us liked the hobo. It even looked awkward hanging on her shoulder. I think the leather handle is way too stiff. Would've been cool if they could have made the handles out of a vintage leather. I did like the tote though.
 
The Ergo Totes fit great. They are so comfortable to carry and lightweight. I do find the Ergo Hobo to be a strange fit but I believe that it is because it is baseball glove leather and it needs to be broken in. I heard from
someone in the forum that the bag does soften with each wear and it is even sluchier. I am going to start wearing mine next week and will let you guy know how it goes. If it does not soften up I am going to be so bummed out!
 
I have the med hobo in leather - I find it does not fit well over a coat but is fine without.

The ones from 3-4 years ago were "cut" differently.

I have three -No. 9228, No. 9227 and a black one from 4 years ago which I love. The Strap is longer (20") so they slouch more and lay well. The ones this year are a shorter strap and they just lay differently. I heard that they soften with use and that they need to be broken in
so I will try and see what happens. All in all these are just different bags though I do love it, it most certainly cannot compare to No. 9228 which is my all time favorite Coach Bag hands down.
 
I hope someone will post a pic of their hobo broken in. I went today and tried on both the medium and the large hobos and they did feel awkward.:crybaby:

But that enable me to turn my attention to the large ergo tote, which I love!

Now I love my Ergo tote!! It's simply gorgeous and comfy! I'm carrying my medium camel Carly right now (weather finally cleared up so I could carry it!) and I'm remembering why I love this bag so much! The Carly is just an awesome bag! I almost wish I could get another one.... but I won't! haha!
 
well...were you looking at the leather or sig ones? i have the sig/chambray one (totally lucked out on tracking it down!) and i love it. i think it was $398? i can't remember. very reasonable- i use it for school, too.

i've seen a lot of macy's stores with the carly. have you tried them on there?


I looked at the Macy's and Nordstroms in the mall close to me but I may have to do some calling around. When I returned by bag the SA told me that they could order the Carly bag for me and it would take a couple of days to get it. I really want to see it in person first.
