A fashion icon of the 60s: What defines a hobo bag?
The hobo bag originated in the 1960s and quickly became a symbol of a new, relaxed lifestyle. Its characteristic feature is its crescent-shaped, softly draping silhouette , reminiscent of a flexible pouch that effortlessly adapts to every movement. Especially when combined with high-quality, supple leather, it creates the typical " slouchy look " that exudes casual elegance.

Thus, a trendy piece from the 60s has become a timeless design icon that continues to be reinterpreted every season and effortlessly elevates any outfit.
