Looking for a fun, hands-free daily companion offering ample volume? Then it’s time to get acquainted with the hobo handbags from Chanel’s spring-summer 2024 collection. Giving off a chic and carefree vibe, there are two new styles in different materials to consider.
Recalling the Jungle Stroll crossbody from 2018, the new structured hobo bags have a slightly curvy base and open top. They form a subtle crescent shape with just the right amount of bend, so you can easily style them up or down. Of course, they feature instantly recognisable codes of the maison, from the distinctive quilted exterior to the leather-interlaced chain.
The first style comes in blue washed denim paired with gold-tone metal. Measuring 22 cm by 24 cm with a more elongated body, this piece embodies everyday ease and wearability. Priced at SGD7610, it comes with an easy-access exterior pocket below the iconic double C logo. An inner flap pocket sits within the main compartment that secures with a button clasp.

The second version takes on a slightly different silhouette (think wide) in white calfskin accompanied by gold-tone hardware. While it features the same exterior pocket and double C logo detail, the 24 cm by 20 cm, the leather hobo handbag comes with a slightly higher price tag of SGD7920.
Both styles also come with a pair of chains of varying lengths to offer versatility and multiple ways of wear. Who’s ready to live the carefree hobo life, hands-free, wherever you go?
