This delicious Balenciaga The Day hobo bag is anything but down on its luck. This skinny, slouchy bag is reminiscent of many of the stars that favor its soft supple design, such as Mary-Kate Olsen and Sienna Miller. Basically, every fashion conscious young celebrity in Hollywood has one, probably because they go from casual to dressy with ease. Plus, they can house an arsenal of makeup, and maybe even a change of clothes. The Day bag has exquisite whipstitch details around the handle, with a little stud and buckle action thrown in and a tassel or two to finish things off perfectly.
I’m crazy about the slouchy shape of this Balenciaga bag. Thanks to the highly distressed goat leather used in all Balenciaga designs, the shape these purses take is sexy, droopy, and ultra-chic because of the lightweight and thin leather. No two bags will ever sit the same. This particular Balenciaga bag is black, which I like, but it comes in every color under the fashion rainbow, from sky blue to bubblegum pink! The Balenciaga The Day hobo is $780.87 from Diabro.com. Sure it’s pricey, but this is the kind of bag I would carry no matter what I was wearing. Sometimes versatility is worth an expensive price tag.

I like this Maxximum Elizabeth hobo almost as much as the Balenciaga. It’s the perfect combination of simplicity and style. It’s made from one hundred percent leather, and had double sets of pleats on the front and back, as well as two exterior zip pockets. The interior is lined with satin fabric, and features a back wall zip pocket with a logo name plate. The shoulder strap is attached with leather bands, and has rivet detailing at the top. It has the same hobo slouchy design as the Balenciaga, and some really edgy stud and strap details, but I’m telling you, no purse can slouch like a Balenciaga. Give it a try for $168 at Endless.com..

If you want to save even more, try this Luce Snake Charmer Hobo on for size. It’s got some cool snake accents in the same versatile hobo design. It’s made from genuine leather, and has two exterior zip pockets with snake charm pulls. Also accenting the exterior is a round handle that looks like a snake eating its own tail. That symbolizes something, but I can’t remember what. Whatever it means, it looks really cool. The top zips closed to keep all your belongings secure, and there’s plenty of room for whatever you want to carry. It’s also available in bone, and British tan.
