MA Hobo Pics

[sdkitty]

Apparently I am not the only one who loves this MA Hobo! I had it ready for a cleaning with Leather CPR (not that it was dirty, I am just weird that way) , when I got distracted. When I came back, Ms. Kitty Virginia had claimed it as her own

so cute
our kitties have to inspect anything new that comes into the house

Thanks! I really like how this bag fits on the shoulder. Reminds me so much of my Bal cities. I'm contemplating getting another, but the only other one available is quite expensive. I need my will power.

quite a bit larger than a City though?

I think so. Maybe on par with a twiggy. I'll do a side by side comparison of the hobo and city at some point.

It was just really awkward. I’ll be sticking with my Nikkis!

you mean awkward the way it hangs? seems to me hobos are usually either square or NS. this one being EW is unusual. no offense to the members who love theirs - your pics look good.

Here they are side by side to compare sizes. Caramel City and Black MA Hobo:

This photo illustrates the similarity in "hanging style". The top middle part of the bag collapses in on itself creating a (IMO) very elegant but relaxed look. Black City and MA hobo:

I think that’s it, yes.

Just like the City, you could swap out for a longer strap for crossbody wear. I think it's a good alternative for some who want something sturdier than Bal lambskin. It is EW so you'd have to get use to that.

thanks ...yet some here love the bag. we each have our preferences. for me, the Nikis look nice on but I don't like a hobo in general because it's too hard to find my stuff in that hole

thanks but crossbody isn't a good look for me....I have larger breasts
funny a lot of the RM people think Bal is delicate.....I have only one. while it's not maybe the sturdiest bag I own, I don't find it delicate....but I'm not hard on my bags

I don't find them that delicate either, but I do swap out my bags quite a bit. I also have two kids that can break ANYTHING so sturdiness is a factor for me.

My brown MA hobo from TRR arrived and I love it! The leather is probably one of the softest of the RM leathers. I moved in right away. Unfortunately I am fast running out of clean spaces in my house and yard to take pictures. Also the sun went down. Oh, and the black spots are there but hardly visible unless you go looking for them.

Don't throw anything at me, but I might like it more than MABs and MAMs.
