meh..

I love HOBO products generally, but this didn’t meet the quality of a HOBO product— unlike other reviews, I didn’t find the leather to be soft, and the camel color was different from the photos. It was also very pebbly in texture. For what this cost, I expected a much nicer bag. I’ve returned this.

Absolutely beautiful bag!!!

The leather is so soft and smooth! It’s a beautiful bag! I’m 5’0” tall and this bag is just the right size as a tote AND as a backpack! It’s not too big and it’s not too small...it’s just right! I LOVE THIS BAG! I wish they had it in a natural color too. If they ever sell it in this color... I will buy it!

backpack?

Seems the backpack feature is strange. The bag hangs down quite low when worn this way. I have tried various ways to position the straps but no improvement. The picture on the website shows the same way I tried but still hangs very low on my back. Not crazy about that. Material nice. Lots of compartments which I like as well

perfect little bag!

Like previous reviews, this bag is super soft. The color is exactly as pictured on Nordstrom website. It’s super easy converting from backpack to shoulder. So glad I found this bag!

Merrin Leather Backpack

I simply LOVE this handbag! I love the cactus color, love the design, love the ability to wear as over the shoulder or a backpack. Super well made. I couldn't be happier with it!
