hobo bag

Crescent-shaped shoulder bag

A hobo bag is a large, crescent-shaped handbag with a slouchy, unstructured silhouette and a single shoulder strap.

The soft construction allows the bag to drape and conform to the body when worn.

Named for its resemblance to the bindle sacks carried by hobos in popular imagery: She slung her hobo bag over her shoulder and headed out.
