Check the shipping I have bought several bags from Hobo ad have always been very satisfied with all my orders. The quality is great and they are lovely. But I just bought a little add on in one of the zodiac signs for a gift and almost canceled the ordered because of the shipping price. The item was only $30.00, it was on sale, but the shipping was over $16.00 and it is a very small item. I thought this was ridiculous, I was considering ordering another one but not after I seen what the shipping was, no way. I have never had to pay such a ridiculous shipping price at HOBO for such a very small item or even a large one.

Vibrant colors abound The bag has a cool shape, bright color, its a little smaller than I would have liked but aside from that a welcome addition.

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!
