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.

First class products AND customer service I own five Hobo purses and have enjoyed the fine quality over many years. I regularly return to the brand when I am shopping for a new bag or different style. Two years ago, I had an unusual experience with a recent bag purchased whereby the leather stain rubbed off on my clothing.This had never happened before. I contacted customer service for help. I am even more impressed with Hobo after their customer service representative worked diligently with me to correct the problem. I provided documentation, followed their requested steps, returned the bag and received a new replacement. They were responsive and diligent in resolving the problem. My only past frame of reference with a manufacturer supporting their product and providing great customer service are with Maui Jim and Shark (vacuums). Hobo is in the same class. As with Maui Jim and Shark, I am committed to the Hobo brand when I am ready to shop for my next bag! I can't recommend Hobo enough!

I purchased a Hobo wristlet in a… I purchased a Hobo wristlet in a boutique in Sebastopol, CA. After one month of use, the wristlet. After only one month of use, the strap broke. Hobo will not send me a replacement until I send them the broken one, but they also will not cover shipping costs. This seems like really bad customer service in an era where most companies are making it as simple as possible to return defective items.

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.

Best Leather Work Tote EVER Just bought my 4th Kingston Tote and love it so much I sought out this review platform to share my love! My favorite thing about this bag is that no matter how much I have to carry the bag always seems to accommodate. It's large enough to carry my laptop and files to work, or I've used it on multiple occasions as an overnight bag. BUT when I only have the essentials with me the soft leather drapes perfectly creating a smaller silhouette. Can't say enough good things - hope everyone checks out this style. Game changer
