The Come Back Kid

This season we see the ever popular reappearance of the crescent shape hobo style bag, and many of the well know brands are featuring this style this year. In particular this bag by Azure Leather of their Sirocco Limited Edition Range almost has a saddle bag look, and is really very good value for money. It is in a soft tactile leather, with a pocket and buckle details on the front, and is spacious and comfortable to carry, and ideal for the fashion conscious who want a quality leather bag by a trusted brand name.

To Organize or Not to Organize

Do you need to be organised, due to a demanding schedule, or your personality dictates that you must have a place for everything, or you are naturally untidy and need structure. Then the organizer bag is for you. The Organizer Bag is specifically designed in such a way that many of them come with a built in section for mobile phone, lipsticks, credit cards, pens, key rings attachment, as well as multiple zipped and open pockets to cover most needs. So, everything you might need through the day is on hand, and easy to find, and get to, without having to stand there rummaging through the bottom of your bag, desperately trying to grab on to the right item, or hoping you have remembered to bring everything you need. If any of you have ever put a pair of socks in the laundry and yet you have ended up with only one sock you will know what I mean. No matter how hard you search through that pile you cannot find the other sock. Our organizer bags come in black, brown and burgundy brown with no shortage of compartments and pockets making sure you can stay organized.

Top Zip Organizer - The Rebel Without the Flapover

Now this bag which is by Sirco Leather is also fashioned in the organizer style, and has one main large spacious compartment with a top zip but it also has a handy pull down outer pocket on the front which has the usual slots for cards and an id holder etc. giving you everything you need to keep all your items neat and tidy and easy to get to. But the nice feature about this organizer is that it has silver tone hardware on the front and sides to give it added interest and nice wide bottom. It is available in three colours of Black, Brown and Tan, and as most organizers are usually designed with a flap over, this bag is great for someone who wants an organizer but in a style that doesn't come in a standard organizer shape, hence we have here "the rebel without the flapover".

Hectic Lifestyle or Just a Free Spirit

The hobo style bag is ideal for those of you who have a hectic life or as the name Hobo suggests are a bit of a free spirit. The name Hobo Bag comes from when a sac or cloth tied at the ends to give it a crescent shape, was carried either over the shoulder or at the end of a stick used by hobos or tramps to carry all their belongings in. Suede or leather is the ideal choice for a hobo style bag as the material is tactile and soft, and over time and use becomes softer still, but having said that the quality of todays faux leather bags also do an excellent job. Hobo style bags usually tend to fall in graceful folds, as you fill them, and are ideal for those of you who have items that are an irregular shape, or because of a hectic lifestyle with no time to spare, and you need something you can just throw everything in quickly. For those of us on a budget this bag which comes in suede offers up to the minute fashion at a very reasonable price.

Now You See It, Now You Don't

The latest trend this year has seen the appearance of the bag within the bag, with the outer bag being waterproof and see through, and here in old blighty as all Brit's know, we are at the mercy of the vagaries of the weather, so it has proved jolly useful on occasion. This bag, is large, and comes with an inner detachable zippered bag which sits inside it comfortably. It is so flexible that you can also leave the inner bag at home and swap it for another suitable sized bag, from your wardrobe, and possibly add to it your shopping, umbrella and so forth.

But classic does not mean it has to be boring. Take a look at this classic Grab Bag, (or Tote Bag for those of you on the other side of the Pond) which is made of a nice soft, but sturdy leather and the lovely detail which has gone into this design such as the tasteful stripes, the butterfly motif, and the front pocket with the button and loop closure.
