Cotton hobo shoulder bag, 'Sweet Thai'

Attractive fabric purse

Love this bag. Thought it was too large at first but there is a ring/disc on the outside at the bottom that allows it to sit straight up. Did have the strap taken up so it looks more like a purse rather than a long tote.

My favorite shoulder bag

Surreal Black has become my favorite shoulder bag. The detailing is beautiful. I receive compliments on it all the time. The design is unique and practical at the same time. Thank you Vinita for such a fine product!

This is my favorite bag, maybe ever!

Product picture

I love this bag, especially the size and the cleverly hidden pockets on the outside. I didn’t realize that the out side pockets had zippers, but they do. I was a bit concerned that such a large ( not too large) bag wouldn’t keep items safely inside, as I often just toss things in. But you can fit all of your really valuable things in the zipper pockets, and they’re safe. It’s really well made. I’ve begun trying to stay away from leather, and this makes it easy.
