Chloe Medium Silverado Leather Hobo


Finishing off the trio of hobos is the new Chloe Medium Silverado Leather Hobo. Let me introduce you to the hobo behind door number 3. This beauty is taken from the other Chloe handbags trademark, the Silverado. Reminding us again that shine is in, this hobo is derived from metallic gold pebble-grain leather with chunky whipstiched trim. Showing other Silverado traits, this hobo has the signature side snap-flap pockets which many of us have come to know and love. This Chloe hobo bag shows off antiqued golden hardware and studs, closes with a zip top with an extended snap tab, and finishes off with snap tabs at the base of the bag. If you are into door number 3, you need to shimmy and put yourself on the pre-order list via Bergdorf Goodman for $1455.

Marc Jacobs Leather Hobo


Behind door number 2, there is beautiful orange hobo. The Marc Jacobs Leather Hobo is designed from orange calfskin which is offset by white topstitching. Orange is a bold color, but nevertheless, a beautiful color. Accented with brass hardware, this bag shows off a simple shape and slouch with a punch of color and beautiful hardware. Subtle accessories always make a bag much more than it is, and this is the dimension the logo push-lock closure adds to the bag. The hobo finishes off with a buckled shoulder strap and measures 10″H x 13″W x 4″D. If you are opting for door number 2, buy this through Bergdorf Goodman for $795.

Chloe Paddington Hobo


Today there will be hobos galore for you to choose from. These hobos look similar to one another, but I wonder which hobo you would chose. For starters, behind door number 1, we have the Chloe Paddington Hobo. While I am a big fan of the Paddy, I am not sure if I love the hobo more or less or even find it to look that much different. You will find the signature Paddington style to ruminate through out many features of the bag, including the padlock, hanging key tag, and golden hardware and studs. Both dark forest green and red pebble-grain leather are choices for you. The shoulder strap with rings has a longer drop than the regular Paddington and the bag also features a zip top. If the bag behind door number 1 is for you, buy this Chloe handbag via Bergdorf Goodman for $1500.
