Urban Oxide Women's Transit

In its previous design (less colored metal and more black hardware), I loved this purse and bought it over and over again. I believe I went through 5 of them over the years. I just love them. And, I dislike shopping for new purses. :) After about a year, the rubber would begin to tear where the straps affixed to the rubber. I would either mend the tears or just buy a new one.My last purse ripped and it was time to repurchase. I dilly dallied and didn't return this one in time. I just couldn't get on board with the heavier, multi-colored zipper pulls and buckles. Also, the rubber feels different. Finally, I bit the bullet two days ago and transitioned into this new version. ONE DAY! I used the purse for ONE DAY and the rubber ripped at the side pocket zipper.I am so frustrated with myself for not going with my gut and returning it asap, and Hobo Handbags for redesigning a perfectly fabulous bag. Maybe other versions of Urban Oxide purses fare better. The skeptic in me thinks this has probably happened to all the designs. I'm headed out to find another purse. :(

I have this bag in black, and it has been an awesome travel purse. I can fit a camera & water bottle in it, and the strap can be extended to work as a cross-body bag. I've received many compliments on it, and decided to purchase the silver one. The price on Amazon is excellent, I paid more for my original one that I purchased at a boutique.

I'm sad to say, because I am a fan of Urban Oxide bags, that the bag didn't last six months. It tore completely at the point where the strap meets the bag itself. I just don't think it's a smart design. I was using it in a normal fashion with nothing unusually heavy in the bag--just a wallet, some pens, a small notebook, chapstick, smart phone, etc.

I used mine almost everyday for 1.5 years before it tore at the handles. I just bought another one in a different color. If it last at least 1.5 -2 years, I'd be ok. Taking it to shoe doc to see if they can repair first one.,

Nice bag but wish it were a little bigger--can't fit a magazine or book

The metal pieces on the zipper have completely lost their finish. I have tried contacting the company, but to no avail. Not worth the money!

This is my 3rd urbanoxide crossbody bag. I'm so sorry Hobo doesn't have the line anymore. If you have any information about the urbanoxide company, please e-mail me. Yogawithandree@yahoo.com

Love it! Thought it was a different style (traveler). I'll buy it next. Very high quality craftmanship and materials.
