About Hobo the Original

Established in Annapolis, Maryland, in 1991, the brand Hobo’s origins lie within the craft of leather. When Toni Ray, creative force behind the legendary ’70’s D.C. leather shop, Georgetown Leather, founded the brand with her daughter, Koren Ray, they wanted to keep the company firmly grounded in the belief that our possessions should reflect our journey. Raised on the road in a VW bus, and spending time under the craft bench as her mother worked in her iconic shop, Koren learned first-hand to create with beauty, soul, and purpose. As Hobo thrives as a second generation, privately-owned and family-operated brand, Koren and her husband, David Brewer, focus on creating beautiful, authentic leather goods that are made to last. They stay true to their passion and enduring design philosophy with hand-picked leathers, timeless designs, flawless functionality, and a nostalgic tribute to the methods and soul of the 70’s, creating bags that only get better with age.

Check the shipping I have bought several bags from Hobo ad have always been very satisfied with all my orders. The quality is great and they are lovely. But I just bought a little add on in one of the zodiac signs for a gift and almost canceled the ordered because of the shipping price. The item was only $30.00, it was on sale, but the shipping was over $16.00 and it is a very small item. I thought this was ridiculous, I was considering ordering another one but not after I seen what the shipping was, no way. I have never had to pay such a ridiculous shipping price at HOBO for such a very small item or even a large one.

I received a Colter crossbody handbag… I received a Colter crossbody handbag and wallet for Xmas. The bag appeared poorly made. I contacted them January 3rd by phone and gave sent several emails with no response. I asked for a store credit. NO RESPONSE. Usually items are of excellent quality. This was not. Today called again after no replies to several previous emails(last yesterday). I've rarely, if ever, left a negative review, but this customer service experience or lack there of is unacceptable.

Rip off company | Lacks Ethics Rip off company. Received a gift bag, purchaser received a deep discount on the purchase. The purse was defected, not sure if this is intentional. Wanted to exchange, only can exchange via Hobo Bags site. Which I did and this is when I learned that the $138 bag sold to purchaser for $110.90 [wth tax]. As I process the exchange I learn of the discount. As I was completing the process & I changed style of bag, a bag that retails for $128. Hobo Bags requires to pay the difference. from the amount the purchaser paid to cover the difference so that Hobo Bags gets paid their full retail amount. So, Hobo Bags is making more money on the exchange than the original purchase & is off the back of the person who received damaged purse in the beginning. Hobo Bags only offers gift cert. on exchanges, so I completed the exchange, paid the $26+ difference, returned the 1st bag. I chat w/associate & they refuse to do an even exchange citing that I was purchasing a higher dollar item? I doing an exchange, Hobo Bags should have written off the $2+ diff to honor the original purchase. If they don't then they are price gouging the customers. They are enriching themselves off of their exchange policy. Bad business, bad product, bad business ethic. Not sure they knowing sold defective product in exchange for deep discounts. Maybe. All in all will do business with them again.

Wonderful product--well worth the investment! I have four hobo bags and two hobo wallets and I love them all! The leather is beautiful and of high quality. I love the embellishments and the decorative interior. I also like supporting a small, family-owned business.
