Hobo For Promo Codes & Coupons

In my earliest memories I am playing with scraps of leather under the craft bench in the '70s leather shop where my mom, Toni Ray, learned her trade. She taught me that it alln begins with the craft of leather and the belief that the possessions we own are made better with the richness of experience.
 

After 20 years building legendary leather shops, Toni Ray starts all over again. With the last of her savings and a belief that quality and cool never go out of style, HOBO is born. She chooses the name HOBO to celebrate the legendary spirit of the American hobos who followed their own path and lived by a code of hard work and kindness in pursuit of the next adventure.

Sketching designs on the dining room table, in my mom's home in Annapolis, Maryland, we create a collection of natural leather bags, crafted in a small family factory in Bogotá, Colombia. Because like-souls have a way of finding each other, I meet David Brewer, the person who becomes my partner in HOBO and in life. We share a love of music and a belief that the most important thing in life is to find good people to take the journey with.

After years of taking HOBO on theroad in our beat up van, we finallyland our first big order. All of ourfriends turn out to help us pack up the order in our 'warehouse' on my mom's back porch. Even, Gracie, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever pitches in.

From a small tannery in Italy, we find the LEATHER that will become our signature material. We call it Vintage Hide, because it possesses the unique imperfections and slight distressed charm of well-loved possessions. It takes COLOR beautifully and we begin to use the endless hues of nature to tell a story of creativity and discovery.
 

COLOR, TEXTURE & STYLE become the tools we use to create leather goods made for self-expression.

David and I know, in leather and in life, the more you do, the better it gets. When we discover what matters, like our roots, the old and new woven together, we build a life we believe in. Crafting a community, stitch by stitch. The HOBO community has grown over the years; employees, retail partners and loyalists, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking this amazing journey with us.
