Bag Your Style

Every time when you go to a bag store, you may be dazed by those stylish and diversified bag models, and most of the time, confused in how to call them by name. Tote? Hobo? Satchel… it is just like on the tip of your tongue, but “is it the name of the model or the bag?” you say to yourself. Here, you can find your answer.

Tote

Generally, Tote is used to describe those bags which are open-top and short-hand designed,and contain large capacity. Top open designed Tote is also called Shopper. The classic Nylon Tote is outstanding, and there are BeA Bag of AnyaHindmarch, Celine Boogie, Tod’s Dbag and LadyDior,etc.

Hobo

Comparably, Hobo gets a clear definition. It has a round handle and a round body, and it is comfortable to wear. Hobo comes from its predecessor Trim of Hermes dated back to 1958. The shape of the bag’s body originates from the shape of the horse feed pocket. The first lady of Kennedy, the ex-president of America, remarried to the ship giant called JackieOnassis, and she was obsessed with this kind of bag. Afterwards, Trim got the name JackieO Bag, and became the symblo of high social class. The classic Hobo contains Veneta of BottegaVeneta, GucciHorsebitHobo, Dior Saddle Bag, etc.

Satchel, generally, features oblong shape in crosswise, and supple texture. You may find that there are many brands called East/Weat which also stands for the oblong-shaped bag in crosswise and many of which belong to the Satchel. MarcJacobsStam, Celine Bittersweet and PradaGuafffre Antic Satchel are the reps of Satchel.

DuffelBag and WeekenderDuffel

DuffelBag or WeekenderDuffel, the name of a kind of rough and thick cloth, get their names from a town of Belgium that produce this kind of cloth. While what we call DuffelBag today, is the large-sized travelling bag, in most case with supply texture. The most classic DuffelBag goes to Keepal of LouisVuitton, the predecessor of Speedy. The travelling bags of the sports goods maker, like Nike and Addidas, also belong to DuffelBag.
