If you look up the word “hobo” in a dictionary, you might find yourself being told that it refers to a person who is destitute, homeless, or otherwise a tramp. If you’re looking at buying yourself a handbag, however, the word “hobo” can have quite a different denotation. Hobo International is a newcomer to the ranks of handbag manufacturers, but they possess a boldness of design, integrity, and quality that rival even the best-known handbag companies.
Hobo International was born in the late nineties when its founders salvaged some discarded handbag designs from a cutting room floor. Another company had commissioned the designs, but had later rejected and abandoned them. A group of artists, who would later move on to form Hobo International, salvaged the plans. After some extensive edits, reworking, and an infusion of their own distinctive style, they sent the final products to market in 1990. Since then, Hobo International has established itself not only as competent designers of handbags, but as a company synonymous with creativity, ingenuity, and success. Hobo handbags are becoming as coveted as even the most prestigious companies in Italy.

The design philosophy at Hobo International is a simple one: Hobo handbags are designed for women who “live by their own rules.” The company was founded upon principles of innovation and creative design, and quality of construction and materials. In the competitive handbag market, a design company must provide products that are as functional as they are eye-catching. Hobo International has proved that it can do just that; the handbags Hobo designs are an intriguing balance of form and functionality.
Choosing a handbag is a process that can be as arduous as it is important. Handbags have become an integral part of many women’s lives in our day and age, and the handbag market is saturated with choices. Handbags are important because they provide easy access to what are undoubtedly some of the most important possessions that a woman can carry: identification, credit cards, and cash, just to name a few. A handbag has to provide easy access, thoughtful design and organization, and an attractive exterior.
Just as men rely on a wallet to carry the things that they will need throughout their day, women too rely on their handbags to store and carry the things that are most important to them. Still – it isn’t a secret that women are more persnickety when it comes to their handbags then men are about their wallets. Discerning women will find a lot to like about Hobo handbags.
