Hobo International handbags are some of the hottest bags on the planet and the trend the fashion company has started is only growing.   The company was started in Maryland in 1991 by Toni Ray, who has been a legend among leather designers.  Perhaps that is why Hobo International purses are so well designed with leather in mind.  The leather purses are very well made and are each kept to strict quality standards before they ever leave the factory.  But along with a sense of top notch quality, Toni has also emphasized functionality in her designs.  She has sought to meet the need of a high end handbag that is able to be used in a practical world, and according to Hobo International fans, she has met and exceeded those goals.

When the Hobo brand was brought to New York, the fashion capital of the US, it was an instant hit, and women all across the country were trying to find where to buy the bags.   In 1996 the brand was updated with bright new colors and a fresh new lineup of more contemporary handbags and accessories.   And in 1999 the firestorm began with retailers trying to jump on board the Hobo ban wagon.  Retailers like Nordstrom, Blomingdales, and Fred Segal then followed in seller the bags in their stores.   Showrooms for Hobo are not open in Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA, and New York, New York.

Some of the most popular bags and wallets made by the company are the Hobo International Sculpt Purse, the Metallic Ally, Paulina, the Katrina Clutch, the Bonnie, the Diane Clutch, the Jennifer, Rachel, Vivianna, and the new Hobo Gabrielle.   There are 5 different collections the company offers: the Vintage, Patent, Sonoma, Florence, and the Limited Edition.

With many colors to choose from like blue, red, brown, green, purple, yellow, white, grey, and black, and styles to choose from like clutches, crossbodies, satchels, wristlets, totes, hobos, and shoulder handbags, Hobo International offers it all.  It even has a floral print handbag pattern now.
