Description

This carefree and generously sized hobo bag is perfect for the stylish woman that loves an unstructured but gorgeous bag! It can be made from various fabric mediums such as quilting cotton, leather, vinyl and cork fabric. The pattern features a split lining that has a compartment on both sides with a zippered pocket in the center and soft pretty pleats. Add the crossbody strap and it makes the perfect day bag out on the town!
