Alba Leather Hobo Bag

The thing I don’t like about it is that you have to consciously connect the magnetic closure otherwise it’s wide open and it’s not as strong a magnet as I would like to make the process easier. For me if my bag stays opened, it will spill in my car, etc. and so I just find the snap magnetic closure could have some improvement. Otherwise, so far I really like the bag. I’ve only had it for three days so we shall see.

This bag excited me on concept of shape (bucket, throw everything in) and somewhat minimal pockets. It comes close to a "regret" purchase in that it doesn't fall comfortably on the arm as much as I'd like for an everyday bag that you walk around the city with. Yet, I use it often. For me, just not sure it's worth the price tag if I had to do it over, but an okay handbag. Like many bag purchases in-store at Nordstrom in my experience you have to sometimes settle for the floor sample which may be dusted of scuffed. Ordering from another store isn't always the best option either; you may get a floor model from elsewhere shipped (this happened with a Tumi bag I bought and a tag was missing from it). Still love in store shopping at Nordy, just pointing out some vulnerable misses that are a part of the shopping experience.
