Well hello stranger :flowers: lovely to see you! its deep enough for sure, I think its a bit bigger than a med Daria. Hope you're well ;-)

All good thanks, apart from busy at work which has ended up eating into my evenings, so not so much time for purse forum. Also slightly changed my journey as the c. 90 mins commute is killing me. Mainly on the tube now, part of commute time was TPF time when I made it to the overground

I hope you are well too!

Don't laugh but I nearly bought a black pembridge hobo again (4th time lucky?) as desperately need a black hobo and no way am I paying £1300 for that black veneta currently on eBay in brand new condition. Don't know why I did it, but bought another oak Daria in like new condition (2nd time lucky maybe?) also considered a coach nomad, but looks a big and not keen on leather linings TBH

I want/NEED a good slouchy black hobo, Daria size, secure enough for tube - love crossbodys as they make the commute easy, but really need something that will stay put on my shoulder....... do miss my Effie satchel as that was perfect

Do you think I need help?[emoji6]

I sympathise, I used to do a long commute (by car) and it leaves you worn out - used to get home and not remember the journey, which is scary.
Why did you sell the pembridge before? Did it slip off? I like them, nearly bought one myself when they were in the sale but they were still pricey. I like that they had a discreet logo. Bal Velos are cross body, and don't have a leather lining - light to carry too.
Missed you here :hugs:

Thanks missed you lovelies too [emoji8][emoji253]

It's the overcrowding I can't stand, then the heat and the delays

This was this time last year out and Waterloo

The Pembridge, yes you've reminded why not to get it again....

Not slouchy enough, smooth leather unforgiving, strap not quite long enough for wearing with a winter coat l. It's a perfect shape and size, loved the discreet tree

Hi Pessie! I have a soft spot for BV myself

Squishy or what!!!!! I haven't seen one IRL do you find the bag itself deep enough or is it all handles/straps if that makes sense?

There was one on evilbay , wasn't sure if it was deep enough..... not that I carry that much

hope you don't mind me chimming in
yes, it's deeper than medium Daria
i did comparisons between a few bags, including this model of BV, you can check to see what fits in and how it looks filled up :flowers:

Hey!!

Hope you are well..... I didn't want to keep pestering my fav BV guru [emoji4] but thanks!

I sooo badly want the veneta on eBay right now, but the price extortionate IMO

I decided there are way toooo many BV colours for me, so will play it safe and for for black as my first one

At 1300 GBP you will get a brand new hobo, either from Matches, or from NAP, and Cervo hobo is a tad more convenient for use, imo.
I have both, multiples, and Veneta is safer with fully zipped top, while hobo is more easy to get in and out, and it has magnet on top
go to BV ref library, my comparisons are there ;)
Don't hesitate if you need any info, detail, etc, my pleasure to help :flowers:

Selling once and regretting it is one thing, but if you've sold it more than once I think it would be a mistake to try it again :doh:

Similar to foggy or pavement grey maybe?

Love this

Yes, it's a kind of dove grey

Are there different sizes in the cervo hobo? I was looking on NAP and I think the bag will look to big on me.

No, hobo is made only in one size, but cervo Loop (more square shaped) got a lil sister this year, in BV ref library i made a cross comparison between hobo and reg bigger Loop, plus mod shots
