Crescent Bags & Hobo Bags
With their soft silhouette, crescent bags and hobo bags nestle against the body – casual to wear and surprisingly spacious.
Crescent Bag and Hobo Bag: The Soft Silhouette
The Crescent Bag, also known as a Hobo Bag, owes its name to its characteristic curved shape. The soft, slouchy silhouette hugs the body, making it look particularly casual and feminine. It is worn over the shoulder or as a crossbody bag – both keep your hands free. Despite its relaxed look, the Hobo Bag is surprisingly spacious and can hold everything a day demands.
Leather and Suede Hobo Bags
The material gives the crescent bag its character. Smooth leather looks elegant and develops a beautiful patina over time, while suede adds velvety warmth and a casual touch. Classic tones like black, brown, and cognac are versatile, while details like macramé or animal print add accents. You can also find related soft shapes in our pouch and hobo bags. At ANOKHI, hobo bags are handcrafted from leather and suede – made for women who seek casual elegance.
