Another offering from the Kate Spade Savona collection, the Bri Hobo ventures a bit off of Spade's usual preppy path with chic, minimalist style.

The smooth cowhide texture, pared down geometric stitching details and basic shape all work perfectly together for a bag that will accent many different styles in your wardrobe. Far ...

7 For All Mankind is known for its designer denim, and even for helping put "premium denim" on the map back when everyone bought their jeans at The Gap and Express. They've been doing accessories for a few seasons now, and it seems like they're definitely going the way they went with ...

Treesje give the hobo bag a sleek makeover with the Hudson.

In fact, it's hard to recognize the Hudson as a hobo at all. The traditional crescent shape is replaced by a boxier silhouette. The slouch we expect is missing, and so is the boho vibe. Instead the exterior is structured, ...

This Jessica Simpson Decade hobo is fun and flirty summer fashion at its best for the brand. I don't know about you, but it just makes we want to throw on some flip-flops and head out to catch some rays.

The brown trim might not be real leather, but its wrapped design ...

It comes with a royal name which it never quite lives up to, but Maxx New York's Majestic hobo is still worth a second look.

While a truly majestic purse might be made from an exotic crocodile skin, or at the very least a lush calf leather, the Maxx New York version ...

Philip Lim is known for his very unique chic form of minimalism. Almost nothing of his is ever overthought, overdesigned, or gaudy. I say "almost nothing" only because every designer occasionally steps away from their trademark style, but the Mya hobo fits right in to Lim's usual aesthetic.

I love the shape of ...

Botkier has given the hobo a sleek modern makeover with the Ziggy. The trademark slouch and hippy flair is gone, replaced with chic styling and an uptown attitude.

The defining feature is the cool angular lines. We see them in the pointed flap, and again on the pleated zip-around front pocket. ...

We all know Big Buddha as an affordable on-trend fashion label but this Katie bag seems more grandmotherly than glamorous.

The popcorn knit finish has a cute quirkiness about it, but I just can't shake the idea that it looks like a failed Christmas gift from a well-meaning elderly relative. From ...

Bruno Rossi is a slightly anonymous designer in the hugely competitive world of handbags. His range, however, does deserve some recognition. In bright primary colors featuring his signature rainbow trim, these are bold and stylish additions to the market.

This particular bag, a spacious and decadent hobo, it just the thing to keep ...

Whiting & Davis is a favorite choice for budget-conscious fashionistas looking for the glamor of vintage evening bags without the four-figure price tag. With the leather flowers hobo, the label abandons its usual after five focus to create a cute everyday accessory.

At least, that was the intention. This hobo might ...

I hate to sound too negative, but this kind of handbag is exactly why Kathy Van Zeeland isn't at the top of my favorite designers list. Though there are several exceptions like the Stud Muffin Tote, I tend to view the brand's designs as flashy and a little overworked with ...

Holy Bottega Veneta! That's what I thought when I saw this handbag. Bottega has always played with the big dogs (and by dogs, I mean designers), but this bag puts the line into super luxe territory usually reserved only for the oldest and most respected houses.

Not that Bottega Veneta isn't respected, it ...

There's a time and a place for It bags, the kind that will turn heads for one season and look passé the next. If you're looking for an off-the-moment status symbol, these trendy purses can't be beat. But as we all feel the effects of the financial crisis, these designer handbags ...

I'm all for the trendy studded look on handbags as long as the result isn't too western. Not that there's anything wrong with the cowgirl style, but it's just not my personal taste. When metallic studs are added for an edgy look, however, I generally like the result.

Well, those who agree with me ...

LeSportsac's take on the classic hobo is probably a little different than what most people would expect for the style. While some might picture something like the black leather Isaac Mizrahi Hobo, this sporty version is both unexpected and fun.

While the Classic Hobo is available in just about every print you ...

Treesje has given the hobo a contemporary country makeover with the Sophia.

The buttery soft leather is embellished with braided accents, perfect for all those urban cowgirls. Western embellishments can often come across as kitsch, but that's not the case here. By using complementary leather and keeping the details to a minimum, ...

This handbag by Jessica Simpson is practically oozing with casual, bohemian style. Though I'm sure it's not intended to inspire hippie-like behavior, it certainly puts me in a laid-back mood.

A fringed bag is nothing new to fashion, but it doesn't always give out a boho-chic vibe. Sometimes the effect is more Pomeranian ...

There comes a day when most girls simply don't fancy leather. Shiny patent and slouchy matte leather are simply the last thing you want to be carrying around. For these days, the delicate texture and unbelievable softness of suede is exactly what you need.

This Gustto hobo is exactly the thing to fit ...

Melie Bianco is one of the stars' biggest secrets, with its on-trend handbags that don't cost the earth. In fact, style icons Mandy Moore and Nicole Richie have both been spotted carrying this very hobo! I think that makes it worth a second look.

The first thing you'll notice is that stunning ...

There is a lot to like about the Vitalio Vera Large Zane Hobo. Unfortunately, it is hidden beneath a few layers of a questionable taste level.

Let's start with the good. I actually rather like the color combination on this bag and the wide stripes don't bother me at all. It has a ...

As one of the holy trinity of French desginers (Chanel and LV making up the other two thirds), women have come to expect a lot of Dior. And well they should, as it is one of the longest standing and highest priced lines out there. Well, as far as I'm concerned, this ...

This just might be the best-looking Kathy Van Zeeland handbag I've seen. Her usual style is sometimes a tad too fussy and overdone for my taste, but I really like the easy style of this High Five Top Zip bag.

It still has the designer's signature details like bold hardware, a large ...

It might seem overly basic, but this small hobo is just the type of functional handbag that we women latch onto and wear with just about everything.

Though small in size, the Elliott Lucca Padova Demi is perfect for typical purse necessities. You won't be able to carry around nearly every ...

There's nothing particularly unique about the Macee Hobo. It's not as if Nine West's version of the hobo handbag is very different than other contemporary takes on the style.

Unoriginality aside, however, the Medium Macee is not a bad choice for an everyday bag with some nice details and a decently sized interior. ...

Treesje has dressed up the traditional hobo with the Sebastian, a purse which combines sophisticated pleats and stitching for an ultra-chic look.

From a distance the Sebastian's lush leather finish looks like patchwork, but that's not the complete story. Tiny tucks create subtle pleats, while diagonal stitching completes the unique quilted ...

I've always felt a little resentful about Moschino's Cheap & Chic moniker. I mean, it's usually chic, but rarely cheap. It might be less expensive than their usual fare, but it's still a high end designer line with high end designer prices. But, despite my resistance to their somewhat ironic title, I really ...

Marc Jacobs is one of those designers who seems, year after year, to determine the trends. At least in America. Last year's line of neon bright accessories foreshadowed the popular obsession with neon. This lemon yellow Hobo continues that trend, but takes the volume down ever so slightly.

This is a fatter hobo ...

Those woven handbags we've been coveting needn't cost the earth. Forget about Bottega Veneta and their exorbitantly priced purses for a second and feast your eyes on the Marrakesh Hobo from Elliott Lucca.

The Marrakesh' intricate woven exterior is every bit as impressive as the big name designer purses. The hobo ...

Be & D generally has the market cornered on ultra-feminine, luxury designer handbags, in my opinion. The girly ruffles of the chic and expensive Chatterley and Kan Kan purses are proof of that.

I suppose that signature style is why I could hardly believe that this brown, somewhat bohemian-looking bag came from ...

Women all over the world find Jimmy Choo's shoes totally irresistible. I'm only somewhat partial to them myself, but I have to say that, for the most part, I have been totally disappointed by his accessories line. It lacks the sophisticated simplicity of his shoes, and falls a little short of what ...

Oroton has reinvented the hobo bag with the Mallorca. The slouchy style and bohemian vibe are gone, replaced with structure and sleek styling.

In fact, calling it a hobo may be a bit of a misnomer. I suppose the shape resembles the traditional crescent with its round corners, but it's nowhere ...

The Hendrix Mini Hobo is yet another prime example of how Treesje always manages to combine classic and contemporary for the modern gal. Though not everyone gravitates toward handbags like the Hendrix, it's great for women who like a little edge in their style.

It's not as rock-and-roll as, say, some ...

When it comes to details, Betsey Johnson seems to tend toward the idea of the more, the merrier. The designer's handbags are always meant to stand out in a crowd and make a bold statement.

This Tie-Breaker Flap Tote does just that with its abundance of embellishments and bold color choices. Though ...

At first, the clever use of fringe on this Alexander McQueen hobo bag catches the eye. But as you keep looking, the hits just keep on coming. There is a lot going on with this bag so let's break it down.

Fringe can be hard to do stylishly, but McQueen goes big and ...

Oh, there's nothing like a little Marc Jacobs in the summer time to maximize your fun in the sun! His poppy color palette and fresh, juicy designs are the perfect additions to long days and longer nights.

This structured hobo, called the Tobo, I think because it melds his Totally Turnlock collection with ...

When you hear the name Jackie you think of one woman: Jackie Onassis-Kennedy. Naming a purse after this paragon of style gives it a lot to live up to, but this Oroton hobo manages to hold its own.

Hobos aren't the style one thinks of when imagining elegant handbags, but this is ...

The SAK has been trying to break free of their "mom bag" image for a while now, moving from their signature crochet purses to more stylish options in materials like leather. This SAK Silverlake Flap Bag is a step in the right direction. Sure, the fashion is toned down, probably still appealing ...

When I think of macrame handbags, Jessica Simpson's brand definitely does not come to mind. Her looks are generally semi-casual everyday to formal, whereas macrame is the epitome of uber-casual, wear-with-flip-flops kind of style.

The material is something I would expect to see on a Lucky Brand bag like the Diana ...

The last things I usually think of when I think of hobo bags are the words "sleek" or "sophisticated". Not because the women carrying them aren't those things, but because hobos are usually more slouchy, casual, and bohemian.

But, as usual, Christian Dior is the label that can class up any casual look, ...

Christian Louboutin shoes are so classic and perfect that they have spawned zillions of designer imposters. His handbags are lesser known, but not for long. With bags like this Sylvia snakeskin hobo, Louboutin's effortless handheld chic will undoubtedly be replicated en masse faster than you can learn how to pronounce his name ...

The Bulga Butterfly Hobo combines confidence and originality in a luxuriously relaxed fashion.

The fun, flirty design makes it an ideal complement for this spring's hottest trends, including boyfriend tees, wideleg jeans, gladiator sandals and oversized sunglasses.

The butterfly hobo is constructed of fine Italian leather with a buttery texture and ultra rich color. ...

This Zaftique handbag embraces the hobo's bohemian roots with its fun rhinestone accented design.

It's a little more structured than your typical hobo, but what it lacks in slouch it makes up for with its boho attitude. Large rhinestones are bordered with embroidered circles, a pattern which feels vaguely tribal. The ...

Leave it to Sondra Roberts to come up with yet another affordable but striking bag. In some ways, SR Squared by Sondra Roberts reminds me of Jessica Simpson's handbag line because of the stylish styles offered at easily attainable price tags. Both brands also use a lot of synthetic leather material ...

Isaac Mizrahi has given the hobo style a slick makeover with this chic leather purse.

It still has the traditional crescent shape, but it's a little subtler than many hobo bags. Also pared back is the characteristic slouch, with Isaac Mizrahi favoring a sleeker, more elegant look. Triangular tabs feature large ...

Isaac Mizrahi is an international powerhouse, famous for his classic, yet quirky, designs. Perhaps that's why this fairly ordinary looking hobo leaves me a little cold.

To call it a hobo is perhaps a bit of a misnomer. It doesn't have the classic crescent silhouette, and there's barely a slouch to ...

Just when I thought all hobo handbags were beginning to look the same I've come across the Cocotte. I should have known that if anyone could reinvigorate the boho-chic staple, it'd be shoe genius Christian Louboutin.

The trademark crescent shape and slouchy profile has been maintained, but the unique pleated exterior ...

The Donna hobo by Alexander Wang reminds us that there's more to the current 1980s trend than colorblocked fabrics and glitz. Its more Pat Benatar than Pointer Sisters, with its black leather finish and rock and roll edge.

Your eyes are instantly drawn to the dual pockets up front, which combine practicality ...

Zac Posen's stripped off his designer suit and gone casual with this fun Lucia hobo bag.

Strips of black and white leather are woven together to give this purse its cute geometric design. The patterned panels are complemented by wide white leather stripes running from the top of the bag to its ...

The Bubble bag is the latest "It" handbag to come from the iconic fashion house of Versace. Halle Berry and Fergie have been snapped carrying the tamer nude and beige versions, but I prefer this vibrant orange purse. The shade accents the Bubble’s unique texture, and satisfies the current ...

Anyone familiar with Jessica Simpson's brand won't be surprised by this Dresscode tote. I think I could easily recognize the company's signature look on it from a line-up of handbags (if that ever existed). As far as Jessica Simpson purses go, this one's a prime example of everything the brand offers.

The ...
