It is no secret that Coach has been making a huge comeback in the last few years. I have quite a huge collection of Coach that I’ve developed over the last few years, and this bag is definitely one that is no exception. That bag is the Teri Hobo bag.
The Teri Hobo went viral as it was rumored to be able to hold a physical book. Priced at $219, the bag comes in black, white, signature, as well as a few seasonal colors that rotate from time to time. For example, I have a nude one from last year, which is no longer on the website. The hobo is the larger, bigger sister to the Teri Shoulder bag on the Coach website, which is also another really great everyday bag.
There are two different ways to wear this bag: on the shoulder and crossbody. I love this feature, because it adds a ton of versatility to how I can wear the bag. What I love about this bag is how comfortable it is to wear either way. The crossbody melts into your body, and doesn’t protrude. Furthermore, I can also just throw it over my shoulder and it fits comfortable when worn as a shoulder bag. Personally, I leave both straps on the bag, and switch between the two options.
Before we talk about capacity, I want to bring up one thing about the Teri Hobo bag. It is such a slim and sleek bag that can be worn for years to come — especially if you get one of the leather options. For that reason alone, I think that this bag is definitely worth the money, because it’s something that is not trendy.
Furthermore, I also think that this bag is one that is just practical. It is not so small that you can barely fit anything, but not so large that it is overpowering. You can fit quite a bit without having to play Tetris. You can use this bag everyday.
Now, what does this bag fit?
I’m going to break this up into two different sections — what I put in here, and then of course, the bookish element.
First off, we have what I carry in my bag on a daily basis. These items include my Coach Zip Card case in the Cherry Print, my Kindle Paperwhite, a Baggu Small Pouch, various lip products, pouch with crystals, work ID, keys, hand sanitizer and a notepad.
Now, let’s talk about what fits in terms of books. I was able to fit two paperback books in the bag, and still have room for my wallet, lip balm, and hand sanitizer. With that, I can still zip my bag.
Overall, this bag is amazing and I can see myself using this for various situations other than everyday. For example, this is the perfect bag I can use for a day trip. I also can use this in situations where I’m going somewhere where I need to carry a book and a few other things. It’s a more sophisticated version of a tote bag, and I definitely can see this being in my bag rotation.
