Confused about Hobos!

[prudence]

Hello....can someone please help me but I'm a bit unsure about Hobos!

Im looking for a Hobo but the pictures I've seen are confusing me... I want the style with the rounded bottom but some photos (specifically on ebay) seem to have a squarer bottom but are still called hobos!

Is it just the photos making them look like they have square bottoms or are there different styles ?

What is the one with the round bottom actually called and from what year?!

Hope all this talk about round bottoms makes sense

The "round bottom" bag (only with giant hardware) is a Hobo,
the "square bottom" bag (which is bigger and comes with rh and gh) is a Day.

Hobo GGH

Day SGH

Day RH

Hope this helps! More pics here: http://forum.purseblog.com/your-bag-showcase/south-of-frances-bagalicious-collection-17002-15.html

Thank you for your excellent reply ! And great photos...

On the search for a GH Hobo!

I agree...excellent response!! People often call the Day bag the Hobo (after all, it is a "hobo"-ish style), so this is a common point of confusion.

^off topic but I traded that one for a cognac Spy, I'm just not a GGH person! Although the vert gazon was such a pretty color and leather!

Good luck with the search!

Well if you're going to trade a VG hobo as beautiful as that, I suppose it should be for another beautiful bag! Baby spy or regular sized? The spy's leather is really wonderful, I ogle, but I'm all about balenciaga at the moment. I'm actually selling off all non-Bal stuff so I can buy more Bal. I'm in love! .
