Is the Vera Bradley Oversized Hobo good for everyday use?

Yes. The 11 x 14 x 6 inch body holds a tablet, water bottle and wallet, and the top zipper keeps it all in. The soft cotton slouches, so it works best as a shoulder carry rather than a structured work bag.

Can the strap be removed or adjusted?

Yes. The 52-inch strap is both adjustable and removable, and the bag has an 11-inch strap drop when worn on the shoulder.

Machine wash in cold water on the gentle cycle, use non-chlorine bleach only if needed, and hang to dry.

What pockets does it have?

There is a hidden zip pocket on the outside, and inside are two slip pockets and one zip pocket.

How does it compare with a leather hobo?

It is lighter and can be washed, but it is not water resistant and won't keep a crisp shape the way leather does.

Will it fit a laptop?

A small laptop or tablet fits in the 11-inch width, but the soft sides give little protection, so a sleeve is wise.

Our take on the Vera Bradley Women's Cotton Oversized Hobo Shoulder Bag

The Vera Bradley Oversized Hobo is a soft cotton shoulder bag in a large hobo shape, 11 inches wide, 14 high and 6 deep, with an 11-inch strap drop. It has a removable, adjustable 52-inch strap, a hidden outside zip pocket, and inside two slip pockets plus a zip pocket, all closed with a top zipper. Its standout trait is machine washability in cold water, rare for a fabric hobo, which suits shoppers who want a roomy everyday carry they can clean. Against structured leather hobos it trades shape and hardware for light weight and easy care; against smaller Vera Bradley styles it carries far more.
