Questions about this piece
What strap drop do you need on a shoulder bag?
About 9 to 11 inches to have the bag riding at your waist, and 7 to 8 inches to keep it tucked up under your arm. Drop is measured from the top of the strap down to the top of the bag, not the whole length of the strap, which is where people get caught out shopping online. Past roughly 12 inches a bag starts swinging at the hip and knocking your arm as you walk. This one adjusts anywhere from 6 to 11 inches, so you get both the high, close carry and the looser waist-level one out of the same bag.
What is a hobo bag, and what do you wear it with?
A hobo is a soft, unstructured shoulder bag that slouches when you set it down instead of standing up on its own. That softness is what makes it read casual, so it sits more naturally with jeans, knits and flats than with anything sharply tailored. It also handles an awkward load better than a stiff bag, because it gives way around whatever is inside. This one runs 12 by 14 by 6 inches with a front pocket, which puts it squarely in everyday carry rather than evening.
What is the removable insert that comes with this bag?
It is a second, smaller bag that clips inside the main one and doubles as the lining. Two loops attach it to two snaps in the hobo and it zips shut across the top, so your things stay gathered together instead of loose at the bottom of a bag that is 14 inches across. The insert is 9 by 12 by 3 inches on its own, with a zip pocket and two open pockets inside, and you can lift the whole thing out when you switch bags. The printed lining you see inside the hobo is the insert itself.
