GUESS Jalena Large Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Guess Jalena HoboGUESS always does a great job creating casual day bags that have lots of personality. This Jalena Large Hobo isn't especially flashy or gaudy but it does have plenty going on in terms of texture, interesting lines, and details with moving parts. It features crocodile print leather with coordinating patent leather trim (for a little touch of glamour), goldtone hardware, a detachable tassel on one side, and plenty of pockets both inside and out. And it's available in three colors (including 'Stone' and 'Black') but I prefer this earthy shade of taupe. $145

Prada Vitello Daino Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Prada Vitello Daino HoboI never do well with white personally (I'm one of those that people that magnetically attracts red sauce and wine) but always think solid white bags look so crisp and refreshing, especially in the winter when there's so much darkness around. Prada plays up the stark factor on their white Vitello Daino Hobo in 'bianco' pebbled calfskin. It feaures bright gold hardware, a small logo placed front and center, and double top handles with a detachable shoulder strap. Inside you'll find their signature jacquard lining and one zip pocket. $1,395

Exotic Handbags by Jilly New York

Filed under: Handbags


Simple elegance never goes out of style yet it can be difficult to find. It's easy to get caught up in trends and the latest it-'fill in the blank' without taking into consideration what you really want. And I can safely say we all want an item that will stand the test of time; one that we will use and wear for years on end.

And that is the philosophy of Jilly New York. Their motto: Quiet Luxury. Classic Elegance. Exotic Beauty. You can't go wrong with designing from such a sound foundation. Creative Designer Jill Haber says she was inspired by the "desire to find gorgeous handbags that are not embellished with overbearing, heavy hardware or logos. I thought that gorgeous, exotic skin
was the perfect canvas to create easy, chic pieces that complement a woman's style, rather than dictate it."

Filed under: Handbags

Sara Berman Handbag
A slouchy olive day bag that's perfect for bringing a little casual elegance to all your 'running around town Christmas shopping' ensembles. Designed by Sara Berman the Mini Decca Studded Leather Hobo's primary visual feature (besides the awesome color) is a single row of multi-sized gold stud embellishments running on all sides of the top edge and continuing up around the wide leather shoulder strap. It also has decorative folds on each side (which give the slouchiness some structure) along with a concealed magnetic fastening and printed-twill lining. Love it love it love it. $470

Darcy Slouchy Textured Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Alexander Wang Leather HoboThis comfy looking creation has a mouthful of a name, the Alexander Wang "Darcy Slouchy Textured Leather Hobo", but it's surprisingly simple in appearance. Made as an extra tall rectangle with the top edges allowed to slouch down the main focal points are the beautiful textured leather (it also comes in black) and the rows of feet on the bottom. It also has a single top handle that's probably too tight to double as a shoulder strap, and is lined in black with one interior zippered pocket. $850

Filed under: Handbags

Lockheart Cadence Braided Hobo BagI can never get enough gray when it comes to my wardrobe accessories and this Lockheart Cadence Braided Hobo is a perfect example of how versatile gray can be.

Covered in different types of braid details it has a single shoulder strap/handle, two open pockets on the exterior, five open pockets on the inside (plus a fifth with a zipper), magnetic top closure, and an interior fully lined in pretty patterned silk. $595

The color is ideal for Fall and can serve as a great anchor to your Fall ensembles. It features an adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to be hands free and wear it across your chest or on your shoulder. There are two exterior buckled pockets (handy for cell phones and keys) and a large buckled flap for a secured closure. Dimensions: 12 1/2"H x 16"W x 4 1/2" D.

All silvers and gray, distressed lambskin gets a funky 'day glam' upgrade with lots of shiny hardware. Studs, zippers, and chains add interest to every surface, including the triple chain shoulder strap and trio of front pockets featuring two magnetic closures and one turnlock one. There are also two exterior zip pockets and what looks like a little bonus one up by the handle -- be careful or you'll never be able to find anything!

To Be G Leather Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Every woman needs a go-to black handbag. It's a staple that you can't live without. The right black handbag can exude sophistication and effortless style for years to come.

If you're in the market for a black handbag then take a look at To Be G's Leather Hobo ($1396). With an eye catching gathered detail on side, soft pleating and ruching throughout, knotted handles, and a leather ball wrapped in silver at the center, it's hard to overlook this classically styled handbag. The hobo is made of soft lambskin and boasts an extra spacious interior with three internal pockets for your smaller items. In addition to being ideal for work, if you're a light packer, I would totally try this as an overnight bag too.

Nina Ricci Small Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Although a pale pink handbag seems fitting for the Summer, this cute little hobo by Nina Ricci makes me want to find a way to incorporate with my Fall wardrobe. The color is light and soft and so of course is the leather.

The Ricci Hobo ($1475) is sparingly adorned with just a knotted bow handle and monochromatic logo on the front zippered pocket, making it a bag that will last for years to come. Even with its small size, the hobo is perfect for your essentials. Dimensions: 8.5" X 16" X 5".

Filed under: Handbags

Burberry Quilted Leather Hobo
Burberry is always a great source for fashionable, classic neutrals that exude style without screaming obnoxiously. This Burberry Quilted Leather Hobo is called "tobacco," which is being advertised as "the opulent alternative to black." This generously sized bag features a comfy, quilted body with a belt-style leather band looped through the drawstring top, a single leather top handle, burnished goldtone hardware, and a push-stud fastening top closure. The interior is lined in signature checked twill, has one internal zip pocket, and is divided by a large zipped compartment running down the center. $1,295

Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Handbag
The smooth black leather and richly hued goldtone hardware on this Marc by Marc Jacobs Hillier Hobo Bag make for an appealing and classy combination, and I'm particularly drawn to the structured puffiness and narrow depth that give it a sophisticated but casual sense of glam. It has both a single short handle and a longer detachable shoulder strap, a hardware plaque front and center stamped with the designer's logo, magnetic fastening top closure, two interior pockets, and a lining of black and white designer-name print. A lovely seasonless investment. $395

L.A.M.B. Signature Grandvale Hobo in Static Logo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

L.A.M.B. Grandvale Hobo Static Lobo BagThe pattern on this L.A.M.B. Signature Grandvale Hobo in Static Logo (it rhymes) is supposedly inspired by television static but I don't really see it -- looks more like smears and smudges than the snow I remember on the tv screen as a kid. Regardless it's an eyecatching design and I do like it, especially with the front angled zip detail and single shoulder strap that keeps everything looking tight. It's made of coated canvas and has a top-zip closure (the front one is non-functioning) with several interior pockets as well as a striped lining. $295

Vanessa Bruno Petit Lune Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

vanessa bruno petit lune hobo While an oversized leather hobo bag may not say "Yeah for Spring!", we couldn't help but feature this bag by Vanessa Bruno. The Petit Lune Hobo is definitely on the splurge side of items you may be lusting over with a price tag of $803, but it's an investment bag. You will literally have it forever given its classic shape and durable leather all packed in a color that you can coordinate beautifully and effortlessly with your wardrobe.

The Petit Lune has a roomy interior (12"W x 13"H x 4.5"D) with a single zippered pocket, two compartment pouches as well as a exterior pouch on either side that closes with a magnetic snap. It's minimally decorated with only a belt and gold buckles along the rim - which only adds to its long lasting appeal. It can be worn on your shoulder or use the longer center-padded shoulder strap and wear across your body.

Hayden-Harnett Welles Hobo, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Good day, sunshine! A new, bright yellow handbag is the perfect way to brighten up your day when you're feeling a little glum. And at Luxist, we are loving yellow handbags lately. The Hayden Harnett Welles Hobo ($544) is large in size (18"L x 14-1/2"H x 5"D) so it can fit whatever you may need for the day. But what makes it unique is how it falls while on your shoulder when it's not filled to capacity. Usually, large bags look large regardless of what you have in them. But not the Welles Hobo. If you use the longer shoulder strap, then the shorter shoulder straps are able to fold over to the side, creating a somewhat smaller bag. So you get a convertible style bag without the buttons and snaps that tend to take away from the overall design. This may be an insignificant detail, but for those who love large bags yet still want size variation, this is a great feature. In addition to its roomy interior, the Welles Hobo features 2 front zippered pockets, a chevron inspired stitch detail and slight gathering at either corners. If you aren't into yellow, no need to worry, the Welles Hobo is also available in black, brown, gray, poppy (a pink/peachy/orange combination), but not until May 21.
