So, the other day I started looking for a new purse. Not just any purse, mind you, but something sturdy, something with a bit of class, and lots of pockets. You know how it is, a girl needs her pockets.
After a bit of digging around, I decided to check out Stone Mountain’s hobo purses. Heard good things about them, especially regarding how much stuff you can cram in there. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed.
First off, I went to their official site. They’ve got this whole “free shipping, great sales” thing going on, which is always a plus in my book. Browsed around and found they boast about having over 25 years of experience. Okay, that’s promising, I thought.
- Found a style called “East Hampton Hobo.” 100% soft leather, they say. I do like the sound of that.
- Checked out the details: double zip top, triple front zip pockets, and even pockets on the back! A dream come true for someone like me who loves to organize… or at least attempt to.
- Saw they even have an interior key strap. No more fishing around for keys at the bottom of the bag!
Then, because I’m a thorough kind of gal, I checked out some other places, you know, just to compare. Found some pretty good deals on other online marketplaces, like one for an $18 blue one with free shipping. That got me thinking about colors and styles.
Read about a “Montauk classic hobo” that’s supposed to be sleek and easy to carry. It had an adjustable crossbody strap. Hmm, options, options.
Decided to hit up a local store that carries Stone Mountain. Figured I should see these things in person. Tried a few on, felt the leather, tested the zippers. You gotta do these things, you know? Especially when it comes to something you’ll be using every day.
My Takeaway
After all that looking around and trying, I finally settled on one. Ended up getting a vintage leather one with all kinds of pockets – front, back, inside. It’s about 10.5 inches long, 5 inches wide, and 8.25 inches high – just the right size. Not too big, not too small. It’s perfect!
Honestly, it was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. I love this new purse. It’s got everything I need, and it feels like it’s gonna last me a good long while. Plus, it looks pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. So, if you’re on the hunt for a new bag, you might want to give Stone Mountain a look. Just be prepared to spend some time choosing – they’ve got a lot of great options!
