These are the smaller and newer sets in Soperwillton's catalog. The brand's large tote, hobo and backpack sets have thousands of ratings each, and we covered them in our first Soperwillton roundup. The three here have between 64 and 295 ratings each, 478 in total, so the buyer record is thinner, and you have to lean harder on what the listings say. That matters, because one of these listings says three different things about its own size.
The three are an anti-theft backpack set with a crossbody and a wallet, a two-piece crossbody hobo with a matching wallet, and a four-piece medium shoulder bag set. All three are faux leather in Soperwillton's usual style: gold-tone hardware, a matching wallet, and a small bear charm on two of them.
What decides it here is honesty of fit. These are bags where the question "will my things go in" has a less obvious answer than usual. The hobo's listing tells you it is large and gives a weight limit. The medium set's listing tells you, unusually, that it will not hold an A4 sheet. The backpack's listing cannot agree with itself. Shop by the numbers you can trust, and treat the others as noise.
One more thing to know before you start. A small rating pool moves easily. On the medium set, about eight unhappy buyers are enough to make up its 13% low-star share, and a handful of new reviews could shift its average either way. On the hobo, with 295 ratings, the picture is steadier. So weigh the medium set's 4.3 and the backpack's 4.1 as early readings, and give the hobo's 4.4 more confidence. Where the excerpts agree with each other on a specific point, such as the backpack's wallet not fitting the crossbody, that agreement counts for more than the star average.
Soperwillton anti-theft backpack set, three pieces
Soperwillton Anti-Theft Backpack Set, 3 Pieces
$37.99at our last price check
A faux leather backpack purse with what the bullets call a "Back arched zipper closure," meaning the main compartment opens on the side that rests against your back. It comes with a small crossbody and a long wallet, and a bear doll charm. It has 4.1 stars from 119 ratings. That is the lowest rating in either Soperwillton roundup, and the distribution explains why: 66% five-star, but 10% one-star and 5% two-star, with another 10% at three stars.
Three sizes on one listing
Here is the backpack's size as the listing states it, in three different places.
| Where on the listing | What it says |
|---|---|
| Bullets, "DIMENSION" | 12.2 x 12.6 x 5.3 in (W x H x D) |
| Detail table, "Item Dimensions D x W x H" | 13.8 in D x 8.3 in W x 3.1 in H |
| Detail table, "Storage Volume" | 20 liters |
| Detail table, "Compatible Device Size Maximum" | 12.2 inches |
These do not agree. The bullet's 12.2 by 12.6 by 5.3 inches is a plausible backpack, and its box volume works out to about 13.4 liters (roughly 815 cubic inches). The 20-liter figure is half again larger than that box, which a bag of those outer dimensions cannot hold. The detail table's 13.8 by 8.3 by 3.1 inches looks like a folded shipping size. We take the bullet's dimensions as the real ones, and we suggest you do the same, and ignore the 20 liters.
The device size is a separate confusion. The table says 12.2 inches maximum, which is the bag's width, not a screen size. One buyer says "this backpack is technically large enough to hold my 13 in laptop," and the word "technically" is doing work: there is no padded sleeve, and a 13-inch laptop in a 12.2-inch-wide bag will be a snug fit. The bullets say tablet, A4 files, water bottle, umbrella and cosmetics, which is the more honest list.
The anti-theft zipper
The back-opening zipper is the selling point, and buyers have mixed feelings about it. "Love that the main pocket is hidden," writes one. Others find it hard to live with. "I still love it despite the awkwardness of opening and closing it," says one, and another: "the only bad thing about it is that it has an awkward zipper." That is the trade with any back-opening bag. A thief cannot open it while it is on your back, and neither can you. You have to take it off every time you want your phone. One buyer adds that "the front little pocket has come unzipped" a couple of times, so do not keep anything important in the front pocket.
Pockets draw a second complaint. The detail table claims 24 pockets and 12 compartments, numbers that presumably count every slot in all three pieces, including the wallet's 16 card slots. Buyers who opened the backpack itself report fewer than they expected: "It doesn't have as many pockets as I thought I saw in the pictures," and "Good size just not many compartments inside."
The wallet that fits nothing
The set's long wallet is the same well-specified design as the brand's other sets: 16 card slots, three cash pockets, a zip coin pocket, a phone pocket, an ID window, a pen slot and a detachable wristlet strap. It measures 8.5 by 4.5 inches. The crossbody measures 7.4 by 8.4 inches. So the wallet is wider than the crossbody, and it cannot go inside. Two buyers say exactly that: "the wallet doesn't fit in the crossbody," and "the wallet is to big to fit in the purse." A third finds the crossbody "MUCH smaller than advertised."
That means the set does not work as a system the way it seems to. On a light day you carry the crossbody with your cards loose, or the wallet on its wristlet, but not both together. The wallet does go in the backpack.
Wearing it
The backpack converts. The bullets say it has a "removable shoulder strap" so "it can also be a shoulder bag," and the detail table describes a "Shoulder Harness," which is the pair of backpack straps. In practice that gives you two ways to carry: on both shoulders when you are walking, and on one shoulder by the single strap when you are in and out of shops. The bear charm hangs from the side either way.
At 12.6 inches tall and 5.3 inches deep, it is a small daypack, not a hiking or school backpack. It sits between the shoulder blades on most adult frames and ends around the small of the back. Buyers who like it use it for light travel: "I love it traveling lightweight. I recommend it for travel." The detail table lists it as "Water Resistant" and gives the weight as 2.5 pounds for the set, which is light for three faux leather pieces.
The listing's own photos and the bullet list are the best guide to what the back zipper looks like on you, because buyers describe it only as "awkward." If you have used a back-opening backpack before and liked it, the complaint will not bother you. If you have not, expect to take the bag off every time you need something from the main compartment.
Care and durability
The detail table says "Dry Clean Only," which is unusual for faux leather and different from the brand's other sets, which say to wipe clean. One buyer complains that "You can't even wash it in the washing machine." In practice, a damp cloth on the outside is how faux leather is cleaned, and no faux leather bag goes in a washer. The same buyer says it "falls apart to easily along with the wallet" and that "It does not come with a warranty at all." The detail table on this listing does not state a warranty either way.
Durability mentions are few, 6 in total, 4 positive. One buyer reports "after a couple of months there is no real sign of wear after daily use." The material divides people: "It looks like plastic.c. The material was not it," against "The material is a soft leathery material. It feels good." Another notes the straps are a "cheaper material," not the same faux leather as the body.
Who it might still suit
The backpack's fans are clear about what they like: a cute brown or neutral bag that holds more than it looks, with the main compartment out of reach of other people. "Good quality. I have more space on the inside of the bag than I thought I would have," writes one. Another calls it "Such a cute combo and not cheaply made." If you want a small leather-look backpack for walking around a city or a theme park, carry your cards in the wallet on its wristlet, and you accept the zipper, it does that job. Just do not buy it for the three-piece system, because the pieces do not fit together the way a set should.
What buyers say
Love that the main pocket is hidden. There has been a couple times the front little pocket has come unzipped. Would overall recommend.Amazon buyer

Soperwillton crossbody hobo set, two pieces
Soperwillton Crossbody Hobo Set, 2 Pieces
$37.99at our last price check
The hobo set is the strongest of the three: 4.4 stars from 295 ratings, 72% five-star and 9% one or two stars. It is a large, soft, wide-topped hobo with a matching long wallet. The listing is one of the more candid in the catalog.
A large bag, and the listing says so
The size is given in an unusual form, because a hobo is not a box. The bullets say "12" at Bottom (rise to 16.5" at top) x 12" x 4.8"," meaning the bag is 12 inches across at the base, flares to 16.5 inches across at the top opening, stands 12 inches tall and is 4.8 inches deep. The handle drop is 5.5 inches, short enough that you carry it by hand or on the forearm, and an adjustable strap runs from 31.5 to 59 inches for shoulder or crossbody wear.
The description adds two notes worth reading. First: "The hobo purse is a large purse, not a middle size bag. Please check the product size before purchasing." Second, in capitals: "MAXIMUM WEIGHT CAPACITY: 6.6 LBS (3 KG). DO NOT OVERLOAD." A stated load limit is rare on a bag listing, and it is useful. Six and a half pounds is a tablet, a full water bottle, a wallet, a makeup bag and an umbrella. It is not a laptop plus a lunch. If you are the kind of person who fills a big bag because it is there, that is the number to keep in mind.
Buyers mostly agree on size. Size draws 30 positive mentions to 13 negative, and the negatives are about it being too big rather than too small: "Too big for me," and "The purse is heavy and absolutely too large." One buyer says "My iPad fits in it perfectly," though the detail table gives a 10-inch maximum device size.
Pockets
The bullets count nine: two front zipper pockets and a back zipper pocket on the outside, then two main compartments, two zipper pockets and two slot pockets inside. Two main compartments are what keep a hobo from becoming a single pit. You can put your wallet and phone in one and a sweater in the other. Buyers like the pockets, 19 positive of 21 mentions. "Nicely made with big pockets on the inside and outside," writes one, and another mentions "plenty of pockets for eyeglasses, phone."
Weight and softness
The detail table gives the bag's weight as 2 pounds, and buyers split on whether that is heavy. "It is heavy before you put anything in it," says one. "Not too heavy, I can wear it anytime," says another. Weight mentions run 7 positive to 5 negative. Part of the answer is how you carry: on a 59-inch crossbody strap, two pounds spreads across your torso, and on the 5.5-inch handle it hangs from one forearm.
The strap is the reason many buyers chose this bag. "The purse is soft, roomy and love it can be a cross over," writes one. A 31.5 to 59 inch range covers a short shoulder carry at the bottom and a long crossbody at the top, so you can set it to sit at the hip on a long day and shorten it for a crowded train. The wide 16.5-inch top opening is what makes a hobo easy to reach into while it hangs at your side, and it is also why the two main compartments matter: an open-topped slouch bag with a single cavity would spill.
Softness is unanimous, 13 positive with no negatives. "Feels buttery soft," writes one buyer. Another says the bag was "large initially but as it 'relaxes' & softened it folded down and didn't seem so bulky," which tells you it slouches more with use. One buyer reports "absolutely ZERO weird smell," which is worth noting because smell is a common complaint on the brand's other listings.
Color
Color draws 14 positive mentions to 4 negative. The listing shows black, one buyer writes "Love the gray color," and another praises a "Beautiful color!" The one sour note is not about the color being off but about the return: a buyer who did "not like the color" reports "having an issue with the return." That is worth bearing in mind with any bag you are unsure about. Decide quickly, before the return window closes.
The wallet
The wallet is 8.5 by 4.5 by 1 inches, with the same 16 card slots, cash pockets, ID window, pen slot and wristlet strap as the backpack set's wallet. "The wallet is big and you don’t have to fold your dollars to fit them in," writes one buyer. Unlike the backpack set, there is no small crossbody to fail to fit it into. One buyer does call the wallet "the only down fall of these two items," without saying why.
Care
The description is clear: "It can not be washed in the washing machine. You can only use a soft cloth to wipe the surface to clean the purse." It also says a "Little smell is normal" and will fade after a few days outside.
What buyers say
Great quality, it’s a soft leather, I love all the pockets and zippers. It’s held up perfectly. Not too heavy, I can wear it anytime.Amazon buyer

Soperwillton medium shoulder bag set, four pieces
Soperwillton Medium Shoulder Bag Set, 4 Pieces
$26.99at our last price check
The budget set of the three, at $26.99, is a medium satchel with a messenger bag, a wallet clutch and a card holder. It has 4.3 stars from 64 ratings, which is a small sample, and 13% of those ratings are one or two stars (9% and 4%).
A medium bag, measured honestly
The bullets give the satchel as 12.6 by 8.2 by 4.7 inches, and then add something we rarely see: "it could not hold A4 paper 11.69" x 8.27"." That is the listing telling you that a standard document lying flat will not fit, because the bag is 8.2 inches tall and the paper is 8.27 inches on its short side. The box volume is about 8 liters (roughly 486 cubic inches), the smallest main bag in either Soperwillton roundup. Oddly, the detail table gives the "Compatible Device Size Maximum" as 11.69 inches, which is the length of A4, not a device.
Inside there is one main compartment with an interior zip pocket and two slot pockets, plus a back zipper pocket outside, under a top zip closure. The bullets say it holds a tablet, a wallet, makeup, a phone, a "little water bottle," perfume and gloves. Read "little" literally. A small tablet goes in, and a full-size water bottle at 4.7 inches deep may not stand upright under the zip.
| Piece | Stated size | What it carries |
|---|---|---|
| Satchel | 12.6 x 8.2 x 4.7 in | Phone, small tablet, wallet clutch, makeup, a small bottle. Not A4 paper |
| Messenger bag | 8.6 x 7 x 2.2 in | Phone, keys and the card holder |
| Wallet clutch | 7.2 x 4.5 in | Cards and cash. Fits inside the satchel |
| Card holder | 4.4 x 3 in | A few cards, inside the messenger bag |
This set's pieces nest properly, unlike the backpack set's. The 7.2-inch wallet is narrower than the 8.6-inch messenger bag, so it should go in, though at 2.2 inches deep the messenger bag will be full with it.
What the few reviews say
With 64 ratings, the excerpts are thin, and they concentrate on three things. The color gets praise: "I love the berry color of this set," and "bright highly attractive color." The wallet gets criticism: "Looks nice on the website but it’s flimsy. I’ll use it for pictures but not my credit cards." And the material is described, by a buyer who likes the set overall, as "this rubbery or vinal type of material."
One buyer is annoyed by the handle attachments: "Has real Finley handles or handles holders. Don't like. You have to place the handle holders so the purse carries correctly." We read "Finley" as "flimsy," a typo in the original, and the complaint as the handle tabs needing adjusting so the bag hangs straight. Another says simply, "Cute purse for a teenager," which is a fair description of the size and the bear charm, and a useful one if you are buying for a teen.
As a gift
Several buyers see this set as a gift, and some see it as several gifts. "This is a great economical value,bright highly attractive color,different purses for different occassions,break up set to gift give if on a strict," writes one buyer, before the excerpt cuts off. Splitting a four-piece set into a satchel for one person and a messenger bag for another is a practical idea at this price. The bear charm wins over younger owners: one buyer's daughter "loves the little bear(her name is now Silvia)." Buyers call it "Very durable" and "Excellent quality and price," but with 64 ratings, none of them describes months of use. If it is a gift, check every zipper and the handle tabs before you wrap it.
What buyers say
Topic counts as Amazon groups them on the product page, read November 14, 2026.
What all three share
These are three different shapes, but they come from the same catalog, and some of what you can expect is common to all three. The outer material is faux leather. The bullets call it "soft vegan synthetic leather" on two of them and "synthetic leather" with "polyester lining" on the third, and one buyer on the medium set describes it more bluntly as "rubbery or vinal." The hardware is gold-tone. Cleaning is a damp cloth, whatever the backpack's "Dry Clean Only" field says, and none of them goes in a washing machine.
Smell is mentioned in the hobo's description as normal and temporary, and one hobo buyer says there was none. The brand's other sets draw smell complaints, so if your bag arrives with a chemical odor, airing it for a few days is the seller's own advice.
None of the three listings states a warranty, and one backpack buyer says outright that there is none. That puts the weight on your first week. When the bag arrives, open and close every zipper, including the back zipper on the backpack, which is the one buyers find awkward. Pull gently on each handle and strap where it is sewn or clipped to the bag. Load it with what you actually carry. If something feels wrong, that is the time to send it back, not month three.
How they compare
We searched for women's anti-theft backpack purses, so this table is the backpack set's real competition.
Prices, ratings and monthly purchase counts as shown on Amazon search results on November 14, 2026. Highlighted rows are the products reviewed here.
The Soperwillton backpack set fares poorly against this field. Its 4.1 stars from 119 ratings sit below every established row in the table: the PU leather anti-theft backpack at 4.5 from 23,590, PINCNEL at 4.6 from 19,938, two nylon anti-theft backpacks at 4.7 from 8,139 and 4.6 from 6,241, and an Oxford-fabric backpack at 4.2 from 4,583. Most of those rows sell a backpack alone, without a crossbody and a wallet, so the Soperwillton set gives you more pieces. But on the evidence, the extra pieces are where its problems lie, and the backpack itself has a weaker record than single bags that thousands of buyers have rated.
Across the three Soperwillton listings, the numbers you can trust line up like this.
| Set | Main bag (W x H x D) | Approx. box volume | Small bag | Wallet fits small bag? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-theft backpack | 12.2 x 12.6 x 5.3 in | About 13.4 L (listing claims 20 L) | Crossbody 7.4 x 8.4 in | No: wallet is 8.5 in wide |
| Crossbody hobo | 12 in base to 16.5 in top, 12 in tall, 4.8 in deep | Not a box, holds up to 6.6 lb | None | Not applicable |
| Medium shoulder | 12.6 x 8.2 x 4.7 in | About 8 L, no A4 | Messenger 8.6 x 7 x 2.2 in | Yes, 7.2 in wallet |
For a backpack purse from the same brand with a much larger buyer record, see the two-piece backpack set in our first Soperwillton roundup, which has 1,358 ratings. The brand's four-piece satchel set has a review of its own. For an anti-theft backpack from another brand, our Mancro anti-theft laptop backpack review covers one with a laptop sleeve. Soperwillton's own pages: anti-theft backpack set, crossbody hobo set and medium shoulder set. More in bags.
Which one for whom
The hobo set is the one we would point most people to. It is soft, it has nine pockets including two main compartments, the wallet is genuinely useful, and the listing is clear about its size and its weight limit. It suits you if you want one large bag you can wear crossbody on a long strap, and you carry a moderate load. It does not suit you if you want something compact, or if two pounds before you load it sounds like too much.
The medium set suits a light carrier, a teenager, or someone who wants a coordinated small bag at a low price and accepts that the wallet is the weak piece. Its honesty about A4 is a point in its favor: you know what you are getting. Its 64 ratings are not enough to say much about how it holds up.
The anti-theft backpack is the hardest to recommend. The concept is good, and some buyers love it. But the listing contradicts itself on size, the wallet does not fit the crossbody it ships with, and 15% of its buyers gave it one or two stars. If you want a backpack purse, a better-rated single backpack is the safer choice.
| You want... | Buy | Why |
|---|---|---|
| One large, soft bag with a wallet | Crossbody hobo set | 4.4 stars, nine pockets, an honest 6.6 lb limit |
| A small matching set for light days or a teen | Medium shoulder set | Lowest-priced set, pieces nest inside each other |
| A backpack you can wear in a crowd | Neither of these, or a better-rated backpack | The backpack set rates 4.1 with three conflicting sizes |
| To carry A4 documents | Crossbody hobo set | The medium set states it cannot hold A4 |
Verdict
We recommend the crossbody hobo set for anyone who wants a big, soft everyday bag with a full-size wallet, as long as you respect its 6.6-pound load limit. We recommend the medium shoulder set only for light carrying and as a budget or teen gift, knowing the wallet is flimsy. We don't recommend the anti-theft backpack set: its listing cannot agree on how big it is, its wallet does not fit its own crossbody, and established single backpacks in the same search have far stronger ratings.
Buy the hobo, think twice about the backpack
The crossbody hobo set is soft, roomy and well rated, and its listing is unusually honest about its limits. The anti-theft backpack's listing gives three different sizes and a 15% low-star share. The medium set is a cheap, small bag for light carrying.
- Two of the three sets include a long wallet with 16 card slots, an ID window and a wristlet strap
- The hobo's listing states a 6.6 lb maximum load and says plainly it is a large bag
- The backpack's back-facing zipper keeps the main compartment against your body
- The medium set is the budget option of the three, with four pieces
- Backpack listing gives three conflicting sizes and a 20-liter claim the dimensions cannot hold
- On the backpack set, the wallet does not fit in the crossbody
- Backpack: 10% one-star ratings and complaints about an awkward zipper
- Medium set: small sample of 64 ratings and a wallet buyers call flimsy
Best for: Someone who wants a soft, roomy shoulder or crossbody bag with a full-size wallet, or a small coordinated set for light days.
Skip it if: You want a backpack with clear, consistent dimensions, a laptop sleeve, or a wallet that fits inside the small bag.
