Terrible Smell And Not Eligible for Return I bought the "Moon" vintage purse at hobobags.com and am so disappointed! The worst thing about the purse is the terrible smell, that I assume is from the chemicals used to treat the leather. The other disappointment is that when I attempted to return the purse, I was informed in was not eligible for return. Not being eligible for return was not indicated when I bought the purse. Also, the customer service was terrible, in that they provide a phone number to call, but you are instructed to use their website or leave a message.

I purchased a bag I purchased a bag. The next day it went on sale. They refused to honor the sale price. I had to reorder the bag. I received the first bag and it was complete junk to say it nicely. I returned it. The second one I returned as well. They refused to refund me shipping charges. The quality of the bags would be equivalent to something a teenager would purchase at Walmart. These bags probably cost them pennies to make and they're selling them for hundreds of dollars.

I purchased a Hobo wristlet in a… I purchased a Hobo wristlet in a boutique in Sebastopol, CA. After one month of use, the wristlet. After only one month of use, the strap broke. Hobo will not send me a replacement until I send them the broken one, but they also will not cover shipping costs. This seems like really bad customer service in an era where most companies are making it as simple as possible to return defective items.

Withholds 3 star ratings I have bought several bags and wallets from this company. I liked most of my purchases. My issue with the company is that I was able to see all of my 5 star ratings, but all of my less than entirely complimentary ratings were withheld.

First class products AND customer service I own five Hobo purses and have enjoyed the fine quality over many years. I regularly return to the brand when I am shopping for a new bag or different style. Two years ago, I had an unusual experience with a recent bag purchased whereby the leather stain rubbed off on my clothing.This had never happened before. I contacted customer service for help. I am even more impressed with Hobo after their customer service representative worked diligently with me to correct the problem. I provided documentation, followed their requested steps, returned the bag and received a new replacement. They were responsive and diligent in resolving the problem. My only past frame of reference with a manufacturer supporting their product and providing great customer service are with Maui Jim and Shark (vacuums). Hobo is in the same class. As with Maui Jim and Shark, I am committed to the Hobo brand when I am ready to shop for my next bag! I can't recommend Hobo enough!
