I recently received my new Hobo bag from
442 McAdam, which I purchased back in the fall. This bag, which measures about 17" at its widest point is perfect for travelling (after all, you need to carry a camera, phone, wallet, passport, etc, etc...). It also comes with regular handles as well as a longer strap so the bag can be worn diagonally. For me, it's also going to be the bag I'm using for events like Fashion Week, when I need to have a small computer and camera, in addition to my phone, wallet, keys and basic make-up.
Without diagonal strap:
With Strap:
What I'm wearing:
Dress: Banana Republic, size 00P (from circa 2008 or 2009)
Camisole: Smartset, XS
Shoes, Stuart Weitzman, size 5
This bag is bigger than what I normally have. My typical larger bag usually measures no more than 13" at its widest point and most of my regular bags are smaller than that. What do you think?
