Good day, sunshine! A new, bright yellow handbag is the perfect way to brighten up your day when you're feeling a little glum. And at Luxist, we are loving yellow handbags lately. The Hayden Harnett Welles Hobo ($544) is large in size (18"L x 14-1/2"H x 5"D) so it can fit whatever you may need for the day. But what makes it unique is how it falls while on your shoulder when it's not filled to capacity. Usually, large bags look large regardless of what you have in them. But not the Welles Hobo. If you use the longer shoulder strap, then the shorter shoulder straps are able to fold over to the side, creating a somewhat smaller bag. So you get a convertible style bag without the buttons and snaps that tend to take away from the overall design. This may be an insignificant detail, but for those who love large bags yet still want size variation, this is a great feature. In addition to its roomy interior, the Welles Hobo features 2 front zippered pockets, a chevron inspired stitch detail and slight gathering at either corners. If you aren't into yellow, no need to worry, the Welles Hobo is also available in black, brown, gray, poppy (a pink/peachy/orange combination), but not until May 21.

No one ever picks up a phone at customer service and it takes 4-6 weeks to "process" refunds.
