What do American child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, British actress Sienna Miller, and soul songstress
Joss Stone have in common? They all love their leather hobo bags!
The hobo is easy to spot thanks to its unique crescent shape, slouchy posture, and long shoulder strap. It’s so named because it resembles the shape of the bindle on a stick typically carried by vagrants, commonly known as hobos. Despite its origins, the hobos of today are far from trampish. In fact, these purses are an integral part of the free and flirty bohemian, or boho-chic, fashion movement.
The casual hobo handbags are made from many different fabrics, but leather is one of the most popular. This timeless material is soft enough to give the hobo its trademark relaxed look, and durable enough to handle everyday use.
Calfskin is the most popular leather, but more exotic varieties are used to create luxury hobos. Look out for these chic bags made from the hides of alligators, crocodiles, ostriches, deer, and goats.
But the beauty of the hobo is more than skin deep. Most offer generous storage room and an array of organizational features.
Hobos are available in a range of sizes and colors to complement any outfit. Small hobos are ideal for girls with petite features, while larger hobos are perfect for complementing a bulky winter coat.
