88 Handbags Connie Large Hobo

I've been looking for a simple, casual, classy/elegant/sophisticated, go-to, all-around versatile, subtle yet luxury signature black bag to add to my small bag collection & I can finally say that I found it in the Connie Large Hobo (by 88 Handbags) :-) It does not disappoint! The Connie Large Hobo is good quality, sturdy, functional & the perfect size for me! It's roomy/spacious enough to hold everything I need & more (cell phone, car keys, sunglasses, wallet, water bottle, cosmetic pouch, snacks, notes, books, gum + my mini laptop).  It goes well with pretty much everything I own & is transitional! So it goes from workdays to weekends (day-to-night) in an instant.  Perfect for work/office, special events, travel/vacations, shopping and for everyday use! It can be worn any season & for any occasion. 

What surprises me the most about the Connie Large Hobo is that the exterior feels & looks like actual leather, but it's not.  It's eco, environmentally-friendly, PETA-approved & 100% cruelty-free, vegan leather with woven-trim and a decorative tassel (which gives a vintage look).  So if you're passionate like me about animals, the environment & our planet and want a leather alternative, this is one option for you.  It's free of all animal-derived materials/products/sources, which is a really good feeling to know that no beautiful, innocent animals were harmed in the process of making my bag :) (Makes me like it even more!)

Inside the Connie Bag is one large slide pocket (for the essentials) with a clean, smooth, & soft suede-like interior.  Unlike some bags out there, it doesn't have crowded compartments & pockets which means I can fit more in.  It also features a zip pouch/wristlet attached for all of the smaller items I have.  It's comfortable on my shoulders & well-made.  I will be using it for years.  It keeps everything neat & organized.

Makes an exclusive gift for your loved ones as well! (family, friends, neighbors, & co-workers)

Important note: Nowadays, it's a challenge to find unique, quality vegan/vegetarian businesses or companies w/ a variety/range of handbags/accessories with different designs, shapes, sizes, colors & textures like 88.  So when you find one, stick with it! 88 Handbags donate a % of every sale to charity, Care (which assists in educating women), respect human rights & are for fair working conditions!

So cool!

P.S. Made in LA by a group of ethical, compassionate diverse women who prove that there is good in this world!
