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.

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.

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.

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.

Poor customer service. Bought a Sheila bag. Had it for three months and the zipper broke and the stitching coming out. Had to pay to ship it back and they decided to credit my account instead of sending a new one. They didn't have the same color but also didn't offer to send a different color. If I buy a new one, they will no longer honor the 30% off that I had originally received. So now they want me to pay over $100 more. Sorry, to me that is not taking care of your customers.

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.
