Every so often I find a handbag that has a feature that jumps out and surprises me. I’m not sure why this Hobo International Deb bag was initially so compelling to me, but I just couldn’t stop myself from stopping to look at it.
There’s something so completely simple yet imaginative about the entirely circular shape of its body. All at once it calls to mind the funky and retro fashion of the Mod era yet also reminds me of a canteen one would use on a long hike. What made those two references pop into my mind, I’ll never quite understand, but the Deb definitely stood out to me as unique.
It’s a fairly small bag, so it’s not ideal for long days out or regular everyday use. However, this Hobo International purse is perfect for stashing a couple of essentials and heading out for a quick trip.
The long chain link strap has a leather piece at the top for comfortable shoulder carrying. Because of the strap’s significant length, the Deb can be worn on the shoulder or across the body, which seems to be so popular right now.
Not surprisingly for a Hobo International item, this round handbag is crafted from high-quality leather. It even has a fun patent sheen to it for extra flare. Just like the initial references that came to my mind when I saw it, I can imagine pairing the Deb shoulder bag with a graphic-print mini dress and boots, for that retro vibe, or with cargo pants and a form-fitting top for a spin on safari chic.
