Hi Everyone!
I’ve been eyeing the J. Crew Biennial Hobo since it appeared on the website. Initially, I purchased the Biennial Satchel in Red, but that bag is huge. So, I decided to try the Hobo. I LOVE this bag.
Here are a few IRL pictures of the bag:
The bag has two really sturdy straps:
And, a picture of the inside of the bag; it’s really spacious:
A picture of the bag on my shoulder:
And, a closer picture of the color of the bag:
What do you think of the J. Crew Biennial Hobo in Red? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi, I bought this bag in the bright blue color (can't recall the official name) and I love it also. I'm thinking about getting it in the tan color as well. I just wish it would go on sale!
Hi Erisachick!!! OOOOOO, the bright blue color is gorgeous! Is it the Blue Grotto? I LOVE that color! I hear you about the bag going on sale. That would be super sweet!Thanks SO much for being here!
Very purdy, Rynetta! 🙂 I love a red bag!
Rose: Thanks SO much!!! I agree, a red bag is divine!Thanks SO much for being here!
Lovely!Tasia
Tasia: Thanks SO much!!! I agree!Thanks SO much for being here!
The red is lovely. I am a big fan of pebbled leather- I think it wears so well. Enjoy it!
KnitYarns: I agree, this red is really lovely. I think that J. Crew does color better than any other retailer. Like you, I really like pebbled leather.Thanks SO much for being here!
That bag is so pretty, but still too big for me. J. Crew's pebbled leather bags wear really well. I bought the Baby Brompton in the pebbled Blue Sea color, but I haven't used it yet, but I have the pebbled Marceau purse and the finish on the leather is wonderful. It's gotten rained on and you can't even tell. It could use a wash, but I am not sure how to wash it. A J. Crew sales associate told me they use baby wipes to clean off their purses, but I am afraid to do that without more people telling me that it doesn't damage the bag. Have you or anyone else tried this to clean J. Crew's pebbled leather bags? Enjoy your beautiful new bag!
cate – I've used baby wipes on leather, but not a J Crew bag, specifically. You could test it on the bottom before hitting the main body of the bag. Then use protectant spray.
I finally realized hobos aren't for me, but I love the red, Rynetta!
cate: This bag is really lovely, but as you point out, it is a big bag. I'm not sure about using baby wipes to clean the bag, so thanks a bunch for your help Gigi!!!Gigi: thanks SO much!!!Thanks SO much for being here ladies!
Beautiful bag! I had no idea how BIG it is! That's why these IRL pics are so helpful. Thanks for your time!
joyandsunshine: Thanks SO much!!! You're right, this bag is big! You've very welcome!Thanks SO much for being here!
i love this bag…torn between the red & the blue…wish i could have both:)
I noticed what looks like a magnetic closure on the outside of the bag (seen in the top-down photo) – does the zipper snap into that to keep it closed? And how deep are the zippered pockets? I'm wondering if you could keep an iPad zippered in there. Your reviews are helpful – thanks!
I'm so excited! Jcrew just sent out a 25% off code: "OURTREAT" & I finally ordered my biennial hobo in red:) the discount made the deal even sweeter:)
