I discovered black hobo purses and really like the way they look.” This type of bag is so very popular that when I began to look for this type of bag in the higher end online shopping sites, some of them had the sad sign that we girls never want to see called, SOLD OUT! Wow! Who would’ve thought that these hobo bags were in such demand?

Let’s talk about what hobo purses look like, in case you are wondering and are not familiar with the term “hobo purses.”

Hobo bags are one of the main types of handbags similar to the tote and clutch, and it is what some have described as “arm candy.” You know, similar to what people characterize other people when they think they are beautiful to behold. Well, if you are designer leather handbag fan, you will love the black hobo.

It is described as a style of handbag or purse that is usually large in diameter with a crescent shape, (similar to a half-moon), a slouchy posture (baggy) and a long strap designed to wear over the shoulder if you like. Hobo bags are usually made out of soft, flexible materials (leather is preferable if you can afford it) and tend to slump, or slouch, when you put them down on a surface.

I also discovered that famous celebrities such as Jessica Simpson has her own line of Hobo purses and you can find those on Amazon.com to purchase. Make sure you ask the right questions. If someone is selling a supposedly black hobo that is a designer handbag out of the back of a van, you will get what you pay for and it won’t be quality!

As I have discussed in other articles, the way to know the difference is if the designer label is exactly as it should be (study this) with no details missing. And, you can usually tell by the, uh, price! If the bag is under one hundred dollars, well, you are probably looking at a hobo purse(s) that is manufactured (a copy, a replica, a knock-off) NOT handmade by hours and hours of manpower. That is the secret to what makes a designer leather handbag such as a black hobo, so darn expensive. It is the detailed work and handmade love that go into each purse. Have you ever gotten a bag that its zipper didn’t work? Or they stuck when you tried to close your bag? Or the zipper broke easily? Or your zipper might rip or be difficult to slide if you carry too much stuff? This is very hard to do with a handmade designer leather handbag that is a true handmade hobo purse.

In the 1930’s during the Art Deco era handbags were already made pretty much the way we know them today They were square or round and made of quilting fabric or leather. In the 1940’s during World War II the shoulder handbag became larger, more square or round and there was a resurgence of the drawstring bag. The purse, or hand bag, had a more military look, a self sufficient look.

As women began to take up careers and began going to work the handbags styles changed to look more businesslike, to where some looked like brief cases. It is interesting to note that bags in Britain were made to accommodate a gas mask and were designed to match a woman’s outfit.

In the post war era of the fifties the big bulky styles were joined in fashion by the small and dainty clutch bag. The designer Christian Dior, emphasized the longer skirt, small waist and small clutch handbags to emphasize femininity and sexuality. This era was followed by the unisex era where again, both men and women could be seen carrying a bag.

Today’s shoulder bag is made in many styles and many fabrics. It can be large or small and made to be elegant for dress wear or casual for daily use.

We have evolved from a point where everyone had to look identical to everyone else, to a point now where we can be individual and show our fashion sense in our own unique way.

There are no strict rules about fashion today, whether it’s clothes, or the handbag – pretty much anything goes. It is still suggested that the contents of women’s (or men’s) shoulder handbags are still a mystery!

Shoulder handbags are not just for Xmas – you should care for them all year round!

Leather Hobo Bags – As one might expect, these bags range from slouch styles to stash bags, and can be found in quite a number of sizes for different women’s needs. The colors for these bags include everything from bright and bold to warmer and traditional colors. Also included in this category of bags are styles that include patch bags, Boho styles and more.

Patchwork Hobos – Here is a fun category of bags and again these range broadly in looks and design. The most popular of these bags appears to be the “Diana Boho” hobo, a conglomeration of different fabrics, designs and colors. Personally a patchwork bag would not fit my own personal preferences but these are most definitely an exception – they’re gorgeous and perfect for ladies who have a desire for a more “earthy” or Bohemian style.

Theodora Hobo Bag – This specific bag seems to be looked for specifically than any other single style of bag in this lineup. It can be found in either leather or suede versions and also has a sort of Boho appeal to it, complete with “peace” charms. My favorite color with this bag is the “Bourbon” leather which is a darker shade of brown with just a hint of red.
