Hobo Bags: five reasons to follow the fall/winter 2023-2024 trend

Once again this year, they are a must-have. In the new fall/winter 2023-2024 collections, hobo bags are a must! You can’t resist them, and yet, there are still those who haven’t decided to buy them.

For all those who haven’t yet, we at Fratinardi are here, ready to explain why you can’t renounce a beautiful hobo bag.

Original, quirky, iconic, colourful… With a banana instead of a handle (why? I don’t know, you’d have to ask Puppets&Puppets that)…

Hobo bags look good on everything (and everyone), they have a fascinating history, a soft shape and there are ones for all tastes and occasions.

Ready to discover the five reasons to follow this trend?

Number 1: They have a pretty good story

Hoboes are not born as bags, they become them.

Their history begins with the farmers of the United States of America and the tramps of the Great Depression. The term was perhaps coined from a fusion of the terms hoe boy or hoy boy, which in the 1930s took on the meaning of hobo.

At that time, it was not uncommon to see people travelling in cargo trains in search of fortune, collecting all their belongings in a bag tied to a stick.

To understand this, here is a photo of the time:

But it was the great Made in Italy fashion house Gucci that made it an accessory in the 1960s, becoming Jackie Kennedy‘s favourite handbag! With its soft lines and crescent shape, how can you resist the allure of a hobo?

Number 2: Suitable for all hours

Whether it’s for a day at the office, an aperitif in the city centre or an evening with your other half, hobo bags are never too much!

Do you need to carry your diary, lunchbox and all your tricks to get through an exciting day at work? Then this Ermanno Scervino hobo bag is for you! Available in both black and white, it allows you to be chic even when you want to pull your hair out of your head from too much work:

For those times when only a credit card, mobile phone or tissues can suffice, there is always Ermanno Scervino, with its range of minibags, ideal for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends:

Number 3: They are for all tastes

Whether you want a minimal, formal or extravagant style, such a bag can satisfy you.

Simple plain or studded with fringes, it doesn’t matter: everything you want can be found in a hobo bag, like in this fantastic Liu Jo.

Number 4: They also have a shoulder strap

Don’t underestimate the power of the shoulder bag, ever.

On hectic mornings it can really save your life: you sling it over your shoulder and it won’t fall off as you run to catch the bus. Not to mention those evenings when you’re up for hours, standing in the crowd dancing and having fun with your friends. Would you really spend them with your bag in one hand and a cocktail in the other?

The hobo bags here at Fratinardi.in/en all have shoulder straps, do I really need to give you more reasons to buy them all?

Number 5: They know how to be essential

No extra detail, none less. Hobo bags are exactly what you need. The same model can be casual and elegant, chic and essential.

They are a versatile accessory that you can hardly do without and if in its reinterpretations it has been winning over customers and maisons since the Sixties, there must be a reason!

Conclusion

As we have seen, hobo bags are very special and there really is something for everyone! This new (old) trend really has a lot to tell and can be more than versatile. Not to mention that the bag we choose can really tell a lot about us (especially how we wear it)!

Then, they are perfect to match our Dr. Martens shoes and Liu Jo trainers, as well as Marella and Gai Mattiolo dresses.

But if hobo bags really don’t convince you, we refer you to the fall/winter trends where you can choose the bag that’s right for you! And you already know where to buy it: in our store in Battipaglia (Salerno, Italy) or on Fratinardi.it/en
