Fossil Jolie Leather Hobo Bag review

Fossil's Jolie Leather Hobo Bag suits a buyer who wants the hobo look but sometimes needs both hands free. It ships with two straps, a short one for the shoulder and a longer one that clips on for crossbody wear, which no other bag here offers. The body is leather with polyurethane trim and gold-tone hardware, measures 12 by 5 by 13 inches, and Fossil says it holds a full-size tablet, wallet and glasses case. A top zipper closes it; inside are a zip pocket and two slip pockets, and a hidden magnetic pocket on the outside holds a phone. It costs $250, Fossil returns are free online, standard shipping is free over $75, and the bag is backed by Fossil's limited warranty. Fossil describes the shape as softly structured and says the leather handles a light shower but not downpours. We compared documented features and published US prices.
