The Fashion Hobo is a larger bag with style and durability.

The Fashion Hobo features a nicely top stitched trim on the front that is available in contrasting leathers. There's a large zipper pocket on the outside back plus two large slip pockets and a small cell phone pocket on the inside. A long zipper on the top allows the purse to open wide so you can see what's inside. Double sliders on the top zipper can be positioned to let you open the purse from either left or right.

The shoulder strap is about 1" wide, 36" long, and adjusts with a solid brass buckle. The Fashion Hobo is designed to be carried over your shoulder in the conventional way.

The leather I use for this purse is a soft and sensuous cowhide with a light semi-aniline finish. Semi-aniline means that the leather has been soaked in dye for a deep and durable color and then finished with a top coat of color to give the skin greater uniformity and some resistance to spotting and staining. All leather will stain if something oily or sticky gets on it, but you can take this bag out in the rain with no problems. I recommend periodic use of saddle soap or a good quality leather conditioner to keep your bag looking its best.

As always, this purse is handcrafted in my Asheville, NC workshop. Every bag I make is a traditional craftsman purse with no fabric lining to rip or wear out. The softly sueded back of the leather itself serves to line the interior.
