A pebbled PU hobo bag in four colors, with a round clasp flap pocket, two front zippers and backpack straps
The Leontine is a hobo backpack purse for women in soft PU leather with a pebbled, litchi style grain. A big flap pocket on the front closes with a round silver tone clasp.
Two long zippers run down the front on either side of the flap, and a third zipper pocket sits on the back. Two zippered compartments make up the main space.
Carry it on your shoulder, by the strap loop, or on your back. The straps adjust with slide buckles and attach with metal rings.
It is 14.6 inches wide and 13.8 inches tall, yet only 4.7 inches deep. That is room for a book, a tablet and a folding umbrella.

Four Colors to Choose From
All four colors share the same pockets and the same silver tone hardware. The straps match the body in each one.
Black
A deep black with a soft sheen across the grain. It is the quietest of the four and works with almost anything.
Light Brown
A warm caramel tan that looks golden in daylight. The silver clasp stands out clearly against it.
Silver
A soft metallic silver over the same pebbled grain. It catches light on the curves and turns heads without any extra trim.
White
A clean, creamy white that brightens dark clothes and looks fresh against beige, camel and denim.
Silver Tone Hardware
The round clasp, zipper pulls, buckles and rings are all a bright silver tone, whatever color you pick.
Which Outfit for Which Color
| Bag Color | Wear It With | The Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Light blue jeans | A crisp, simple pairing. |
| Black | Camel and cream | Neutral layers with one dark anchor. |
| Light Brown | Olive and cream | Earthy tones that look natural together. |
| Light Brown | Navy and gray | Cool shades that make the caramel stand out. |
| Silver | Chocolate brown | A deep color that lets the metallic shine. |
| Silver | Black and charcoal | A dark outfit with one bright accent. |
| White | Cream knits | A soft, tonal look from head to hip. |
| White | Black and denim | A bright bag against a darker outfit. |
A Hobo Bag and a Backpack in One
A hobo has a slouchy curved top that drops into a deep, easy shape. That makes it quick to reach into and simple to fill.
Add backpack straps and the same bag spreads its load over both shoulders. You pick the carry that suits the day.
The Flap Pocket and Front Zippers
The big flap pocket holds a phone, a transit pass or sunglasses. A magnetic snap keeps the flap down, and the round clasp adds a metal accent.
A long zipper pocket runs down each side of the flap. Slip a lip balm, keys or earbuds into one and zip it shut.
Pick Your Carry
On Your Shoulder
Put the strap loop over one shoulder. The slide buckles set how low the bag hangs against your side.
In Your Hand
Hold the strap loop by hand for a short walk, a car ride or a stop at the store.
On Your Back
Arrange the straps as a backpack and put an arm through each. The flap pocket faces outward, so keep a passport in the back pocket instead.
Pockets and Compartments
Here is where everything goes, from the flap pocket to the two compartments.
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Flap pocket | Center of the front | Phone, transit pass or sunglasses |
| Left zipper pocket | Front, on the left | Keys and lip balm |
| Right zipper pocket | Front, on the right | Earbuds and a card holder |
| Back zipper pocket | Curved opening on the back panel | A passport or spare cash |
| Front compartment | Inside, behind the front zipper | Umbrella, wallet and a small bottle |
| Back compartment | Inside, behind the rear zipper | A book, notebook or tablet |
Inside the Leontine
Two zippers run along the top, with a band of PU between them. Each one opens its own compartment, so you can keep your things apart.
Inside, a light gray herringbone fabric lines both compartments, which helps small things stand out.
Open both zippers and the bag spreads wide. Flat items such as a book slide into the back compartment without a squeeze.
Pebbled PU Leather
The Leontine is made from PU leather with a pebbled grain. The texture hides small scuffs and gives the surface a soft, even look.
PU leather is man made, so this is not genuine leather. In the silver color, the same grain gives a metallic finish.
Leontine Measurements
| Measurement | Inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | 14.6 | 37 |
| Depth | 4.7 | 12 |
| Height | 13.8 | 35 |
The bag is wider than a typical daypack but slim from front to back. It sits flat against your side or your back.
Each bag is measured by hand, so expect a tiny variation.
