About HOBO
Soft, slouchy leather handbags with an understated, California-casual look are HOBO's signature — the brand built its name on buttery leather that only gets better with age rather than chasing seasonal trends. It sells through its own site as well as department stores and specialty boutiques, so you'll see it in a lot of places, not just direct.
Women who want a quality everyday bag without a designer price tag are the typical shopper. The Artisan Series and charity-tied Giving Totes are worth noting specifically: those are final sale, so they're not the pieces to buy if you're on the fence about the style.
What they sell
- Leather crossbody and shoulder bags
- Wallets and small leather goods
- Artisan Series limited-edition bags (final sale)
- Giving Totes supporting charitable causes
- Backpacks and travel bags
