Product Type: Handbags

A hobo bag is the most relaxed shape in a handbag wardrobe, and this one is roomy enough to carry a full day. Kiko Leather calls it the Hobo: pebble leather, 16.5 inches wide, 11 tall and 5 deep, with a single wide strap that drops 9 inches, a zip across the top, a slip pocket on the back and several pockets inside, one of them zipped. Choose black, gray or dark brown.

  • Nine-inch strap drop. The bag sits under your arm and stays on the shoulder over a sweater or a coat.
  • Zipped shut. The slouchy shape stays closed even when it is packed full.
  • A back slip pocket. It sits against your body, a good home for your phone or keys.
  • Pockets inside. Including a zip pocket on the inner wall for keys and cards.

What Is a Hobo Bag

A hobo bag is a soft, slouchy shoulder bag with a curved top and a single strap, made to fold against the body as you carry it. The slouch is the point: the bag shapes itself around what is inside and around your side, so it never sticks out like a box. That is also why a hobo is easy to carry for hours; the weight sits close to you instead of swinging.

A Leather Hobo Bag for Everyday Carry

A leather hobo bag at 16.5 by 11 inches takes the things a busy day brings: a water bottle, a tablet, a book, a light scarf, a wallet and makeup. Kiko Leather describes the hide as pebble leather, and for a bag that big the grain is practical, because the base and lower corners touch floors, car seats and cafe chairs every day. The pebbled surface keeps those contact points from showing every scrape.

Black is the hardest-working color. Gray is the softer neutral for navy and denim, and dark brown suits fall shades like rust and olive. All three come with the same top zip and pockets.

Hobo Bag Carry and Care

Will it slip off my shoulder? The strap is broad and flat, which grips better than a thin strap, and the 9 inch drop keeps the bag snug under your arm instead of hanging loose.

Does a hobo hold its shape when it is half empty? It softens and drapes, which is how a hobo is meant to look. To keep the top line neat in storage, fill it loosely with tissue and close the zip.

Can it work as a work bag? Yes, for papers, a tablet and lunch. A large laptop is better in a structured tote, since a slouchy bag lets a heavy laptop slide to the bottom.

Where should a hobo sit between wears? Stuff it lightly, zip it closed and keep it upright in a cotton dust bag, out of direct sun so the color stays even.
