Hands-Free

with the Bolero Crossbody

We’ve been working with Tiffany Mitchell of @tifforelie for quite a few years now, but this past spring we finally met her in Nashville for our Leather Lounge pop-up at White’s Mercantile. Needless to say, she is a dear friend of our brand and Hobo muse. Her creative spirit and boho-tinged style are just a few reasons why we love her. Plus, she loves her collection of Hobo leather goods and styles her bags so effortlessly.

Wondering what Tiffany’s favorite bag is this fall? The Bolero crossbody. Not only is it the perfect small leather crossbody bag, allowing you to live life hands-free, but it also converts to a shoulder purse with just a slip of the strap. Crafted in our signature velvet hide leather with whipstitch details, Bolero is boho-tinged and casual-cool.

When it came time to celebrate the spirit of Mother’s Day, collaborating with a few of our friends who have daughters felt so natural. The timing couldn’t have been better for a mini-me campaign because Sheila (known to be every mom’s favorite bag) now has her own mini-me: small Sheila. Designed for mom, but sized perfectly for daughters to “borrow”, small Sheila is a compact version of the iconic Sheila bag. Scroll down to see how Karla Reed, Caitlin Kruse, Alice Kerley, Kayla Petering, Kayla Caitie Newman, and their daughters love Hobo.

When did you get your first Hobo?

Karla Reed: I got my first Hobo bag (a Sheila!) when Charlotte was a newborn. Being asked to be a part of this campaign was such a full circle moment, because now Charlotte is five and has a mini version of Sheila that she loves.

Koren Ray, Hobo Bags founder and designer

"In my earliest memories I am playing with scraps of leather under the craft bench in the ‘70s leather shop where my mom learned her trade. I recall the artisans cutting, stitching and tooling bags by hand. I grew up under that craft bench and fell in love with leather - for all its beautiful imperfections and the way it ages ever so gracefully".
- Koren Ray

Read our interview with Koren, founder and designer

What is one of your favorite Hobo bags?

KR: My Sheila bag . It travels with me everywhere. If this bag could tell stories, I would probably be in a lot of trouble!

What is one of your favorite parts of being Hobo's design director?

KR: Traveling to hand select the hides that we use to craft our handbags. Each leather has its own personality, its own character. It's my job to take that leather and tell a story with it.

Koren Ray hand seleting leather hides for Hobo bags.

What do you love most about leather?

KR: I love it for all its perfect imperfections. No other material ages quite as gracefully as quality leather. Time and thousands of touches reveal its true hidden beauty.

What is it like running Hobo with your husband?

KR: It's a great pleasure to work with David every day ... he's my best friend, an amazing partner and he's really rock n' roll, which I love!

Koren Ray and husband David Brewer, co-owners of Hobo.

Who is one person that you look up to?

KR: If I had to pick one person that I am most happy that I've known in my life, it would be my mother. She does everything in her life with her whole heart. She taught me to live with integrity and design with purpose.

Koren Ray and mother, Toni Ray co-founder of Hobo.

Why do you believe that age = beauty?

KR: There is an authentic beauty in those possessions that we have touched and loved for years, like worn-in boots or your favorite pair of jeans. I design bags to be loved everyday and I believe they just get better with use and wear. That is why I say AGE = BEAUTY.

What are you most passionate about?

KR: Music, the next design, the craft of leather, and my kids!

We also believe that age=beauty. Our quality leather handbags are meant to be loved every day and simply get better with use and wear. While our handbags and wallets are made to last and will age gracefully on their own, they do need protection and nourishment. We have been at leather craft for nearly 30 years. Here are a few of our tips for keeping your leather products looking great for years to come.

1. It starts with PROTECTION:
We always recommend that you treat your leather goods with a stain and rain repellent spray. A product like this won't prevent all of life's stories from showing on your bag, but it may protect your bag from the daily grind...rain, grit on the train floor or the occasional coffee spill. We have developed a Suede & Leather Protector that works as a barrier against rain and stains without changing the natural grain and color of your leather. Our spray is made with natural ingredients and is safe for use on our Nubuck Hide, Suede Hide, Vintage Hide, Vachetta Hide, Velvet Hide and Men's Heritage Hide bags, as well as most other leather handbags and shoes. Follow the directions on the product and always test on a small area before spraying your entire bag.

Keep your leather products looking great for years to come with leather cream and spray

Spray 4-6" from the surface in sweeping crisscross patterns to coat evenly.

2. Keep It CLEAN:
Life happens, so marks on your leather goods are to be expected. But don’t worry, our leather spot clean cleaner is here to keep your leather clean and help remove marks from everyday wear. Use this spray to remove dirt and buildup on leather and prepare certain leathers to be nourished with our leather cream. Please note, this cleaner is meant to remove dirt marks from use and wear, but not set-in stains such as pen or oils. Our cleaner is made with natural ingredients and can be used on our vintage hide, matte vintage hide, vachetta hide, velvet hide and artisan hide.

3. We all need NOURISHMENT:
We tell everyone who asks that the best care for their Hobo leather goods, is everyday use and wear. The beauty of all quality leather hides is that they are actually conditioned by the oils in our skin and made softer and more beautiful by thousands of touches. Over time, any marks and scratches that occur {because, that's life!) blend beautifully into the leather and become the badges that tell our stories. Of course, a good quality leather cream can nourish your leather and restore shine and softness. We have developed a leather cream that contains all-natural ingredients and is made in the USA. This cream is recommended for use on our Vintage hide and Vachetta hide handbags and wallets only. This is because it is a rich, nourishing conditioner for leather and these hides respond best to it. It is not recommended for use on nubuck or suede.

Use a soft, dry cloth to apply a thin coat. Work into the leather in small, circular motions.



Read about frequently asked leather care questions

How do I remove an ink stain from my leather purse?

Ink stains in leather are tricky business. If you rub too hard, you may remove the natural dye from the leather's surface. Rubbing a leather cream into the whole bag will help to restore the color and shine and help diminish the ink mark. Over time, the mark will begin to fade and become part of the unique character of your bag.

How do I remove scratches from my leather goods?

Applying a leather cream to your leather product will help restore shine, diminish scratches and even out color. We recommend applying a leather cream every month or so.

What do I do if my leather gets rained on?

Gently wipe off any standing water and allow it to dry naturally. Do NOT apply unnatural heat, like a blow dryer. For a jacket, hang it on a wide, padded hanger. For bags or shoes, stuff them with crumpled newspaper to help hold their shape. Once completely dry, apply leather cream to restore shine and softness to leather. Always protect your leather goods before you get caught in the rain.

Learn more about the original leather clutch-wallet that started it all!

"The Lauren wallet was born out of pure necessity. I was tired of fumbling around at the checkout counter, trying to shove too many cards in my wallet, losing all of my receipts, dropping my phone...I needed one stylish, practical solution. I love that I can grab Lauren and go. She is a timeless design- the perfect wallet to get me from Penn Station to the carpool line AND she's an amazing clutch, stylish enough for dinner out with my husband, without having to change my wallet for a clutch. Lauren has become an icon because she is the perfect example of the way I like to design; beauty and soul with flawless functionality."
- Koren Ray

Lauren, the original leather clutch-wallet that started it all

It is daunting to us that this little idea, born from necessity, has found a home with over 1 million women. Despite the fact that she is over 10 years old, she still amazes with her modern edge and her vintage appeal. Despite the fact that we introduce her in as many as 50 different colors and leathers every year, we always stay true to her original vision; a classic leather wallet clutch with the perfect blend of style and function.

Of course, for many, the question remains...is she a clutch or is she a wallet? Well, the beauty of the original Lauren wallet is that she is BOTH! A fully functioning, oversized wallet that literally holds everything you need; cards, cash, phone, key, lipstick. No, really!
