Hobo purses are crescent or trapezoid shaped bags with a casual
posture and a moderate to long shoulder-wear strap. Unlike most
handbags, hobo purses are non-molded, relaxed purses. They are typically
made of soft leather, cotton, canvas, faux fur or other “foldable”
materials. European designers, always forward thinking fashion pioneers,
tweaked their hobo purses by enlarging the size and adding unique
hardware, from jewelry to chains to brass locks, in the fall 2005.
One of the best advantages of hobo purses is that they fit most body
types. A round, slouchy hobo purse is suitable for tall and thin, while a
rectangular or long hobo is preferable for goddess-sized women. Hobo
bags are available in as many shapes and sizes as there are women in
different shapes and sizes. Although the rounder your figure, the more
structured your hobo bag should be.
A Satchel is a bag with a wide, flat bottom, zippered or clasped top,
two handles or straps. The satchel style was inspired by a piece of
luggage and can be various sizes such as the doctors bag.
