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.

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.

Terrible Smell And Not Eligible for Return I bought the "Moon" vintage purse at hobobags.com and am so disappointed! The worst thing about the purse is the terrible smell, that I assume is from the chemicals used to treat the leather. The other disappointment is that when I attempted to return the purse, I was informed in was not eligible for return. Not being eligible for return was not indicated when I bought the purse. Also, the customer service was terrible, in that they provide a phone number to call, but you are instructed to use their website or leave a message.

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!

Vibrant colors abound The bag has a cool shape, bright color, its a little smaller than I would have liked but aside from that a welcome addition.

Withholds 3 star ratings I have bought several bags and wallets from this company. I liked most of my purchases. My issue with the company is that I was able to see all of my 5 star ratings, but all of my less than entirely complimentary ratings were withheld.
