| True Fossil Value - I was looking for a hip and fun loving spring/summer bag. Getting tired of the dark leathers and loving Fossil quality I went straight to Fossil and found many to choose from but this particular bag really caught my eye. I absolutely LOVE the leather. It's soft and supple and there's very little hardware so you're not carrying around a lot of metal (my purse is heavy enough on its own!). The side pockets are HUGE which was a very pleasant surprise. They're not small and difficult to get things into and out of which renders side pockets useless in so many purses. The inside has the typical open pockets and zippered pocket. Because the leather is so soft it molds to your body and stays well on the shoulder (which again is somethings I fight with when shopping for a purse). The only drawback is the fact that it's a hobo bag and therefore has no structure. I'm not a hobo bag kinda girl so this has taken me some time to get used to but what the heck - it's a beautiful lemon color and bright and "summery". I'm getting along just fine w/o all those compartments! |

| Oh, how I love this purse! The leather is soft, yet durable. The interior is large, but not so large that I'm inclined to junk it up with old receipts and wrappers, etc. For me, it's the perfect size that holds everything without leaving me too much extra room, so I stay on top of cleaning it out. The best part by far are the external pockets. In previous purses, I'd drop my keys down in them, and they'd disappear. Now, my keys go in the front external pocket (which is plenty deep; they won't fall out), and I always know where they are. Sunglasses can fit in there with them. In the back pocket, if anything, I can fit a water bottle. Often, I just leave it empty to catch the mail as I walk in, and other things that I want to be sure to take out once I get home. Could not love this purse more if I tried! |

| Fossil Castille Large Hobo - CUTE CUTE bag!! I ordered the yellow for a spring/summer bag and absolutely love it! The only slight issue is the top opening is a tad narrow due to how the straps are attached, but it's such a minor detail. I actually bought this bag in lieu of another very similar bag from a much more expensive line (this bag was more than 1/2 the price) and I am exceptionally happy with the quality/look...I can't wait until it gets to be spring so I can use it! Love Zappos service - can't beat 3 days FREE shipping! Ordered the bag Saturday morning and it was delivered yesterday (a day ahead of scheduled delivery). |

| Normally I wouldn't spend this much on a handbag, but it looked so darned good, just like fashion magazine bags that cost 4 times as much. I got one in aqua for a fun summer thing, and loved it so much I had to get another in red for fall. Minimal hardware (i.e. no extra weight), the wide strap is comfortable on my shoulder, the end pockets are perfect for a water bottle, phone & keys. It's big enough to carry any size book, but the leather is so soft it never feels bulky. |

| I have this bag in Saddle. The leather is soft and yet sturdy; the end pockets are plenty roomy for cell phone, keys, sunglasses, etc; the interior is very roomy; the single strap is convenient and stays on the shoulder well. This is my first Hobo and I was concerned that I would not like the unstructured style, but with all the pockets, I can stay organized just fine. Love this bag and will probably get a black one for the winter. |

| I LOVE this purse! The shade of red is beautiful, not too bright and not too dark. I love the pockets on the ends. I use one for my keys and the other for my sunglasses. It\'s just the right size for my wallet, Kindle and cosmetics. The inside pockets are great too. One is just the right size for my cellphone. The leather is very soft but sturdy. Definitely one of my favorites. I would highly recommend it. |

| Great functional bag - This is a great bag. The leather is good quality. I got red & it's a nice deep color. Good pockets inside & the two outside pockets are very deep so I know things won't fall out. It's a nice size, not too huge but big enough so my things fit nicely. You can fit a water bottle & a paperback in easily so it will be good for traveling. Zappos makes it so easy. |

| I wasn't completely "sold" on this purse when I ordered it or when it arrived. However, the leather is very soft but the bag is sturdy. It has lots of pockets for organizing too, so I'm completely happy with it. It's a nice bag that's easy to carry because it conforms to my body; and the strap stays on my shoulder, which is important to me. |

| Fossil Hobo - I'm very pleased with this bag! It is a roomy size! It is high quality soft leather and comfortable to carry. The outside pockets are plenty big and deep enough to hold my cell phone and many other small items. I bought the aqua color, which looks more green in person. Great color for spring/summer! |
