A large, soft PU hobo with two open front pockets, a wooden bead tassel and a strap that clips on
The Oriel is a hobo bag with pockets for women, made from soft PU with a washed, wrinkled grain. It slumps into a relaxed curve and zips shut across the top.
Two open pockets sit side by side on the front, stitched around the edges, so a phone or a transit pass is always within reach. A zipper pocket waits on the back.
Hang it from the arched handle, or clip on the long strap and wear it across your body. A braided cord strung with wooden beads dangles from the zipper pull.
At 15.7 inches across, it is a roomy bag for a tablet and a day’s extras. Choose from six colors, from black to burgundy.

A Hobo Bag With Pockets You Can Reach
The two front pockets have no flap and no zipper, which makes them quick. Each one is stitched along the edges and lies flat against the bag when empty.
Slide a phone into the left pocket and a transit card into the right one. Your hand finds them without opening the bag.
Handle and Long Strap
The arched handle rises from a ring on each side of the top. It is long enough to sit on your shoulder, even over a cardigan.
The strap is a slim band with a swivel clip at each end and a slide buckle to set the length. At full length it reaches about 51 inches.
Unclip it and the Oriel goes back to a simple shoulder hobo.
| Carry | How | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder | Handle over one shoulder | Short walks and office days |
| Crossbody | Strap clipped on and let out | Shopping and sightseeing with free hands |
| Strap on one shoulder | Strap clipped on, buckle set short | A snug fit that stays put |
| By hand | Handle in your grip or at your elbow | Browsing shops and cafes |
Where Things Go
| Space | Where | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Left front pocket | Front, open top | Phone and lip balm |
| Right front pocket | Front, open top | Transit card and keys |
| Back zipper pocket | High on the back panel | Boarding pass, cash and a card |
| Main compartment | Under the top zipper | Tablet, pouch and a light layer |
| Open inner pocket | Rear wall, upper | Card holder and earbuds |
| First inner zipper pocket | Rear wall, middle | Charger and cables |
| Second inner zipper pocket | Rear wall, lower | Spare cash and a key |
Inside the Oriel
The top zipper curves down both sides, so the bag opens wide enough to see everything at once. Tan fabric covers the inside walls.
An open pocket sits above two zipper pockets along the rear wall. The main space in front of them takes a tablet, a pouch and a wallet.
The Soft PU Finish
The outside is PU, a man made material that looks like leather but is not genuine leather. Its washed, wrinkled grain gives each curve a soft shine.
PU keeps the bag light and flexible, so the body slumps when it is full and wipes clean with a damp cloth.

| Measurement | Inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Width | About 15.7 | About 40 |
