I can't help thinking of the Bride of Frankenstein when I ...

We've all heard of handbags that charge your cell phone while you're on the go, but most of these innovative fashion items cost a mint. Urban Junket offers a more affordable alternative which is every bit as tech savvy with its new battery powered bags.

Kathy Van Zeeland shows uncharacteristic restraint with its Flapper Chic hobo.

The name doesn't refer to the flapper style of the 1920s, but the hobo's classic flap closure. This curved element mimics the Flapper Chic's soft, voluminous shape. Pleats near the base ...

Serpentine scales make the Salini hobo from Jalda a very refined creature.

The embossed scales are significantly larger than we typically see on snake-style bags. Jalda says the bolder finish is inspired by anacondas, and I've never been close enough to one of these jungle giants to argue! ...

Gucci delivers a hobo worthy of its name with the Bella.

This hobo truly is a thing of beauty. Gucci's extracted the essence from the familiar handbag style and done away with everything that can be gimmicky about the style. It's more sophisticated than your average boho fare, ...

Global Elements has created an eco-friendly and affordable alternative to Diane Von Furstenberg's Stephanie bag with this Sarita hobo.

Its name is a real mouthful, but it tells us plenty about this striking purse. Breaking it down ensures we don't miss any of this hobo's ...

Franchi has reinvented its Princess purse with the Princess II.

The original Princess was a clutch covered in glittering Swarovski crystals. The newest incarnation takes the form of a small hobo bag, which is every bit as elegant as its predecessor but a bit more practical. ...

Francesco Biasia offers a chic woven leather handbag for less with this Ismene hobo.

The label has clearly taken inspiration from Bottega Veneta here. The Ismene's woven leather is delicate and refined, every bit the equal to the tight weaves Bottega Veneta offers. But the bold ...

Fossil always creates solid accessories, but it's done little to truly excite me of late. So I'm thrilled to see the American label shaking things up with this Campbell Hobo.

The gorgeous laser-cut finish really sucked me in. A delicate art deco design is punched into the leather ...

Australian fashion designer Kirrily Johnston has unexpectedly teamed up with Kellogg's Special K cereal for a limited edition handbag.
The classic red suede hobo features a clever pocket purpose built for holding a Special K cereal snack bar. According to the press release ...

There's kind of a divide in the fashionista kingdom. There are those who go for status, those who look for quality, and those who look for design. Bottega Veneta is one of the few lines that covers all bases and manages to attract everyone from the ...

Donald J Pliner brings some edge to bohemian fashion with this Numa Hobo.

The Numa's soft slouchy silhouette and crescent shape are classic hobo trademarks. The long suede fringing which falls softly from its straps brings some extra bohemian style to the design. But ...

Coachella may be winding down, but it's just the start of what should be a vibrant summer festival season. If you plan on hitting a few of these musical spectaculars you'll need a reliable bag by your side. Diane ...

Chocolate gets us ready for the warm weather ahead with this Yazmin hobo.

Raffia is often used on summery bags, but it rarely looks as smart as it does here. The tight weave brings some sophistication to the casual material, especially when it's paired with the complementary pink ...

Badgley Mischka goes big and bold with this Annette Hobo bag.

This isn't a purse for wallflowers. Its oversized dimensions work with its shiny pewter leather to demand attention. It doesn't do it with a lot of grace or decorum, but it gets results.

I've never ...

B. Makowsky's ditched his usual leather for fabric to create this casual Ollie satchel.

While soft materials are often regarded as leather's poor cousins, I don't feel shortchanged by the fabric. Its weathered finish reminds me of denim, and it shares the same casual appeal. The ...

Nautical inspired accessories are perfect for summer, but all those anchors and rope accents can look kitschy. Anne Klein interprets the look the right way with this Anchors Away Hobo.

It seems a stretch to call this bag a hobo, because its clean lines ...

Its name conjures up images of eating ice-cream by the Jersey Shore, but Nixon's Boardwalk is really a bag for all seasons.

It takes its cues from traditional hobos, but it downplays the style's typical boho leanings. There are no tassels or beads to tizzy up the design. ...

Joy Gryson takes bohemian style a step too far with this Columbier bag from her Olivia Harris line.

Hobos generally have a relaxed hippie charm about them, but most manage to pull off the look with more style than this. The earthiness ...

Soft glazed leather helps this Paulette handbag from Hobo International turn heads.

I've seen the Paulette in various skins, including glossy patents and exotic impersonators, but this buttery leather is the pick of them. We've seen it in Hobo International's other Vintage purses, but it's used ...

The unique ruffled finish on this Compleat Flynn from Lockheart helps it stand above the other hobos.

Ruffled bags tend to look flouncy and feminine, but Lockheart's given the familiar accent a more modern feel. Its ruffles are very tight and very small, unlike those soft ...

Big Buddha takes its cues from Miu Miu with this Pearl hobo.

The Pearl's chevron stitching mimics Miu Miu's iconic Matelasse finish. I wouldn't say that it's a carbon copy, but it's definitely derivative. It doesn't have the same attention to detail, and as it's decorating ...

Big Buddha gets us ready for summer with this casual Cassandra Hobo.

It appears like so many woven raffia purses, but the Cassandra is actually crafted from synthetic leather. By using nude leatherette Big Buddha's ensured the finish has the same seaside charm as the natural ...

Sumptuously soft lambskin and a rich bottle green hue make this Apollo bag one of the most desirable hobos I've seen in some time.

Lambskin is an ideal material for crafting a traditional hobo, because its buttery finish slouches so easily. We can see its quality in every ...

Ever since I was small, I've loved purple. My mother insisted I'd tire of the color, yet even as a thirtysomething the sight of this rich regal hue makes me weak at the knees. Radley's used the color to great effect in its Whitmore Punch ...

The Modena sounds good on paper, but sadly this is just another lacklustre hobo from Lola Bernard.

I'm not entirely sure where Lola Bernard went wrong here. She's used real leather rather than that cheap synthetic stuff. She's also added some crocodile-esque embossing to make the ...

Has Gucci created a bag that's casually cool with the Jungle Hobo, or is it simply not trying? Honestly I'm not quite sure.

Making up my mind gives me a chance to take in the Jungle's lush caramel colored leather and distinctive hobo slouch. The long tassel gives ...

With the classic style and rock star flair of its namesake comes the Jagger hobo from Pour La Victoire.

Initially I was disappointed that the accents were kept to a minimum, but the more I look at the Jagger the more I appreciate its ...

Clean lines and a bohemian spirit make this Olema hobo from The SAK something special.

I love the way The SAK strikes the right balance between boho-chic and true sophistication. Its silhouette isn't as slouchy as many hobos, which makes it more dressed up than the ...

Colorblocked panels help this Isabella hobo from Stone Mountain turn heads.

We know the label for its conservative casual leather goods, so it's surprising to see it using its favorite material more sparingly here. Instead it opts for soft suede, and uses only a touch of ...

With this Ceyla Hobo, Salvatore Ferragamo proves Bottega Veneta isn't the only fashion house with a way with weaves.

It's been a long time since I've seen a woven finish as striking as this one. Salvatore Ferragamo has manipulated leather strips of various lengths to create ...

Ralph Lauren helps us add a touch of luxury to our everyday lives with this Harbridge Hobo.

The soft curves and slouchy silhouette are classic hobo, but the snake-embossed surface makes it feel more sophisticated than the average. It's not the most convincing cobra mimic, but ...

Pilar Abril gives the hobo a sophisticated makeover with the Coco.

Instead of the hobo's characteristic slouch, the Coco has clean smooth lines. Its curves mimic the hobos of old, but they come with much more elegance and refinement. In fact, the long tassel is the ...

Mulberry's business is going from strength to strength, and when it releases handbags as stylish as the Evelina it's not hard to see why.

Miquelrius offers us a more luxurious handbag than usual with this Sweet Leather hobo.

While most Miquelrius bags are made from canvas, this one's crafted from leather, or sweet leather as Miquelrius tells us. I'm not sure whether it's quite as delicious as that description implies, ...

Hollywood isn't all about beautiful actors and actresses earning the big bucks. For every star there's a hundred busboys and waitresses looking for their big break. Perhaps Mellow World had these starry-eyed folks in mind when it created its Hollywood hobo.

The celebrities carry high-end designer ...

Melie Bianco has created its fair share of "designer influenced" accessories, but I think it's at its best when it's marching to the beat of its own drum. When it strikes off on its own and refuses to bow to fads it creates practical purses ...

According to dictionary definitions, utilitarian is a word describing something designed for use rather than beauty. So it's only fitting that Laurel & Sunset's used the word to christen this hobo bag.

I wouldn't say the Utilitarian's an ugly duckling, but it clearly puts ...

Jalda reminds us that fabric can be every bit as beautiful as its favorite leathers with the Masha.

Honestly I thought this hobo was made entirely from leather at first. However it's actually crafted from superior Italian fabric. The softer material creates a more natural hobo slouch, while ...

Gustto brings some contemporary edge to the bohemian hobo style with this Masilia bag.

At its heart this is a classic hobo bag, with soft curves and a slouchy silhouette. The soft taupe color is right on trend, but it also gives this hobo a distinctly hippie air. ...

Embrace your feminine side with this Priscilla hobo from Guess.

This may be the girliest hobo I've ever encountered. It's more floaty and frothy than slouchy, and its faux leather finish is in a pretty pastel pink. This hue is well chosen, as it's girly without being obnoxiously ...

Global Elements takes a break from its usual tribal inspired fare to create this Suede Hobo.

This hobo has a unique homespun charm to it. It's not very high class, but there's a sweetness to its fun floral accents and classic brown suede finish. It's the ...

Givenchy gives the classic hobo a fashion forward makeover with the Obsedia.

Givenchy's retained elements of the traditional style, but made the finish much more sophisticated. There's a gentle slouch to the material, but it's so thick and lush that it doesn't collapse in a heap. That added ...

Ed Hardy's back to his self-promoting best with this Tina hobo.

It's got the slouchy silhouette we expect to see on a hobo, but that's where the similarities end. The bohemian vibe typical of the style has been stripped away and replaced with a much brasher ...

Donald J Pliner's created a great everyday hobo in the Logan.

In many ways this is a hobo like so many others, but there are a few key details that have turned my head. I love the way Donald J Pliner has taken the ...

Cleobella delivers the handbag equivalent of Cousin It with this Electra Fringe Hobo.

When used well fringing can create a fun western or bohemian vibe. But too much, as we see here, and a bag just seems hairy. The accents dominate the design rather than enhancing it, which ...

A smattering of studs and gemstones brings a glamorous edge to Chocolate's classic Danielle Hobo.

While it doesn't have the crescent shape of the first hobos, its slouchy finish makes it look much closer to a hobo than many modern incarnations. The relaxed silhouette makes the Danielle perfect ...

It's got a silly name, but this Belly Bag from Bottega Veneta oozes sophisticated style.

The cute moniker perhaps stems from this hobo's softly rounded shape. If we use our imaginations I suppose we could see it like the portly tummy of a jolly old man. ...
