Hobo bag

The hobo bag is a style of handbag or purse that is typically large and characterized by a crescent shape, a slouchy posture and a long strap designed to wear over the shoulder.

[2] Accessories designer Bobby Breslau was known for his "Halston bag", a large unconstructed[clarification needed] leather handbag.

[6] To balance his large slouchy "Halston bag," Breslau came out with what he called "the littlest hobo of them all" in 1975.
