I’m starting to wonder exactly what a hobo bag is in 2011. When this handbag style was invented it was slouchy, crescent shaped, and bohemian. This Dylan hobo has the signature slouch, but it’s a very different bag to those early hobos.
There’s not a hint of crescent to its shape. Instead it’s vaguely triangular, with a wide, flat base and gently sloping sides. It’s also more wild child than hippie chick. The studded buckled belts that decorate its sides give it just the right amount of edge. Black leather might have been more rebellious, but even in brown this bag has ample attitude.
The Dylan’s generously sized interior is well appointed, with a pair of pouches for gadgets, a secure zippered pocket, and a handy hook for keys. The magnetic closure isn’t as smart as a zip would have been, but it gets the job done. The wide strap is the final functional touch. It’s flat, so it won’t slip from our shoulder, and just long enough for easy carrying.
At $595 the Dylan is no bargain, but it’s also not unreasonable for a bag made with such quality materials.
