Slouchy Hobo Bags Are Officially Back—Shop Our Favorite Styles Now
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
For the past handful of months, I’ve been researching hobo bags to add to my closet. Maybe it’s the return of oversized leather totes and slouchy bags. Or the undeniable wave of early aughts fashion trends that seemingly has no end. Regardless, we’ve had more than enough months—nay, years—of the structured, micro bags (well, at least I have). The time has come for the little purse’s complete counterpart to take the spotlight.
Below, you’ll find 15 must-have hobo bags to carry all year long (it is one of the best fall 2023 bag trends, after all). From oversized everyday styles to petite and pretty purses for those nights out—both of which come from affordable brands and luxury designers—these are the ones worth investing in. Scroll on to shop them all.

Oversized Vittoria Tote
If you had an idea of what an oversized leather tote bag looks like in your head, you’re gonna want to think bigger. This may take up half the size of your body, but fret not—it’s quite comfortable (and holds everything.). I gave it a spin on a particularly rainy day to the movies and it not only held my usual necessities, but also an umbrella, a book, and a bottle of wine (with room to spare). We all need a Mary Poppins bag—why not this one?
