I did not like the Heloise satchel but this hobo shape turns all the cons into pros. The larger bag can take the chunky ropey knots and the strap is also so much shorter so everything looks in place. The pin tuck details break up the giant mass of the bag so it isn’t one continuous blob. The little pocket on top is GREAT! With a bag this size, you will never find your keys (there is an interior phone pocket, every bag has that, of course) but it also adds some personality. It is back to basics and this definitely qualifies as a “one bag fits all” – we are seeing less of super specific bags that require daily change outs. Yes, things might get a little boring for a while but I suspect that it won’t be long before decadence makes a come back. We can’t seriously just have brown and black hobos for the rest of our lives!!! The Chloe Heloise hobo at Net a Porter
