About Us

HOBO is a family-founded accessories brand built around a simple belief: the best bags become part of your story. Founded in 1991 by Toni Ray in Annapolis, Maryland, the brand grew from a passion for leather craftsmanship into a distinctive collection of handbags and accessories. With a focus on quality materials, thoughtful details, and individual expression, HOBO creates designs that balance practical function with timeless character.

Our collection celebrates the versatility of HOBO handbags. Discover leather shoulder bags, crossbody bags, totes, satchels, hobos, and clutches designed for different occasions and personal preferences. Whether you need a spacious everyday companion, a compact bag for weekends, or a polished accessory for evenings out, HOBO offers silhouettes that make carrying your essentials feel effortless.

Small details make a meaningful difference. Functional pockets, considered compartments, distinctive hardware, and carefully selected leather give each design its own personality. HOBO is also known for its Vintage Hide leather, appreciated for its natural character and the distinctive patina that develops through use. For those who prefer lightweight alternatives, the HOBO GO collection introduces nylon bags, slings, packing cubes, and weekender styles.

Beyond handbags, the collection includes wallets, wristlets, cosmetic accessories, and other small leather goods. HOBO brings together craftsmanship, everyday usefulness, and relaxed American style for people who appreciate accessories with character. Discover pieces designed to accompany daily routines, memorable trips, and everything in between.
