Hobo Handbags For Every Style
Purses come in many different styles, and one of the most popular is the hobo bag. Perfect for casual or chic occasions, hobo purses stand out because of their unique shape. Ever wondered how this unusual bag became a wardrobe staple, as well as which hobo bag is right for you? Brahmin’s got the answers!
What Is A Hobo Bag?
A hobo handbag is a type of shoulder purse. It is defined by its crescent, half-moon-like shape. A leather hobo handbag is one of its most sophisticated forms.
Why Is It Called A Hobo Bag?
The hobo bag has an interesting past. At the onset of the 20th century, migrant workers traveled by freight trains looking for work. They carried their belongings in a sack tied to a stick. In the 1930s, the first hobo purses came into existence and helped define that soft, slouchy appearance we know today.
Why A Hobo Handbag Deserves To Be In Your Closet
A hobo bag is a versatile piece that can easily take you from day to night. Its unique design adds appeal to any outfit you choose.
A small structured hobo bag is ideal for day activities like brunch, coffee dates, and midday strolls. Brahmin’s small bags help you stay organized with interior compartments, a back slide-in pocket, and a key clip. Many have a short handle as well as an adjustable strap, which allows them to be worn like a traditional hobo bag.
The hobo bag was hugely popular in the 1990s and Y2K. Relive this yesteryear look with an updated leather hobo purse with a modern feel.* Smart design elements like a zipper closure and various compartments keep your items inside secure and organized.
