Pilar Abril seems to have been sleepwalking when it designed the underwhelming Saleta hobo.

This is one of those bags made for adjectives like nice, pleasant, and adequate. It's not that it's a bad bag, but it is pretty boring. The suede like synthetic is lovely, ...

Big Buddha has fun with fringe with the Ray hobo.

The Ray takes the hobo back to its boho roots with its funky, flower child fringe and supple faux suede. If you're not committed to fringe this bag probably isn't for you. The loose tassels cover ...

Once upon a time O'Neill delivered beach bag after beach bag. These days though the surf brand delivers accessories that are wearable all year round. This Nocturnal shoulder bag is a great example of the label's dressed up new aesthetic.

Drawstring bags are typically relaxed affairs, but this ...

Stella McCartney is dedicated to preserving the environment and the humane treatment of animals. That's why all of her designs are done in faux fabrics. While I find her political point of view admirable, what I've found is that she often chooses materials that don't quite work ...

Ashley M has always been the go-to brand for kitschy, and arguable classless, accessories. So I was surprised to see this remarkably on-trend hobo come from this flamboyant label.

I'm not suggesting that Ashley M reinterprets the trends with the same style or finesse of a European fashion house, but there are ...

Just like the formidable Miss Hepburn, the Katherine clutch from Maxx New York marches to its own beat.

This striking purse has much more attitude than many clutches on the market. While they tend to be feminine affairs, this one is defiant and edgy. Studs always add that rebelliousness, but they're used ...

This Guess tote is the perfect combination of country and western leather, and huge funky studs.

In fact, you probably wouldn't expect to find studs and triple shades of suede in the same environment. Unlike dramatic dark leather, the twain shall not meet! Still, there is something about the meeting of large panels of ...

This faux suede hobo from Tianni shows us that a purse can be slouchy without losing any of its style.

This has all of the sexy slouch we'd expect from a hobo, but it stops short of being slovenly. The secret is the black suede-like fabric. Black always looks elegant, and the ...

The Swinger hobo from Chinese Laundry has a laid-back, bohemian vibe. It might not take you from day to night for most events, but it's a great choice for accessorizing casual daytime outfits before transitioning to informal date nights.

It's not only the hobo handbag style that contributes to the quintessential boho-chic look. The ...

What's this? Famous eco-friendly handbags like Matt & Nat releasing a suede tote bag? Say it isn't so!

Well, it isn't. At least, not quite. While the Davis comes from the brand's Suede Collection, it's actually crafted from an eco-friendly suede alternative. With all the plush looks and feel of the genuine ...

Big Buddha hits multiple bag trends with this new stylish Nolita Shoulder Bag. From the overall shape to the details, this purse has a handful of features going for it.

The Nolita is available in quite a few color options, but this rich purple is a great pop of color for the fall. ...

I'm not sure why I've been in the mood to browse through briefcases lately, but I keep running across some great versions of this stereotypical work bag style. Matt & Nat's take on the handbag is quite the opposite of the Hobo International Barbara that I recently found but much more ...

Matt & Nat have been doing the eco-friendly thing in fashion for a while now. They've got to be best pals with PETA, too, for their outspoken campaign against use of leather and fur.

Well, they're sure to be getting some extra brownie points with both animal lovers and fashionistas alike (especially ...

Bows can effortlessly add a feminine touch to any accessory. But whether they take the girly look too far depends on the skill of the designer. Spiegel gets the balance right here with its Side Bow Bag.

The secret is the faux suede fabric, which gives the purse a soft, muted ...

It's no secret that I like Matt & Nat handbags. I'm not a vegan, and I indulge in my fair share of leather purses that aren't animal-conscious. However, I do still appreciate this brand's fashion statements as well as their positive message.

This stylish Ito clutch is easily recognizable as a Matt & Nat bag ...

Of all the Matt & Nat handbags I've seen, this Avril Satchel is probably the most classic design of all of them. Styles like the Fifty-Five and the Portishead both have more of a contemporary edge, but the Avril does have a hard time being completely traditional.

Although the satchel has a ...

This is a great, yet simple, handbag. In fashionable mustard faux suede, it is soft and flexible, perfect for carrying your treasured everyday items with maximum comfort. It's even big enough to sling in some extra goodies: your big five-year diary, perhaps, or a folder for work. Even a little chihuahua would ...

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 ...

With its geometric patches and original attitude, this Evans patchwork purse evokes all the color of the 1980s.

Some call it the decade that fashion forgot, but those crayon colors and shoulder pads were back in force at the recent New York Fashion Week. This purse may be a little loud for ...
