Over the last few years, slouchy hobo bags have been capturing the hearts (and wallets) of style enthusiasts worldwide. With fashion trends and forecasts pointing towards an inclination towards practicality, luxury brands are heeding the call with fresh takes on this classic accessory. Among fashionphiles, Bottega Veneta has long been leading the charge in this category. Known for its signature leather handwork, the Italian luxury house is equally celebrated for its impeccable craftsmanship and understated design codes.
While the brand’s lineup already includes the beloved Jodie—a crescent-shaped hobo bag—Bottega Veneta also unveiled a new must-have early last year: the Hop bag, a relaxed, triangular shoulder bag ideal for urban outings.
Read on and discover the crowd-favorite "everyday bag" that style stars all over the world have come to love.
About Bottega Veneta’s Hop Bag
Hobo bags and capacious carriers have long been ingrained in the Bottega Veneta DNA. For Fall/Winter 2023/24 showcased at Milan Womens' Fashion Week, creative director Matthieu Blazy reimagined one of its archival hobo designs from 2002 to create the Hop bag, a thoughtful homage to the house’s heritage.
In true Bottega fashion, the Hop bag forgoes logos and heavy hardware, allowing the intrecciato weave to take center stage. The bag’s soft yet structured silhouette is instantly recognizable, as a nod to the brand’s “if you know, you know” allure with quiet luxury speaking volumes.
Each Hop bag is meticulously crafted by a single artisan over two days, underscoring Bottega Veneta’s commitment to quality and timeless wearability. Although the Hop shares a kinship with the iconic Jodie, it sets itself apart with its sleek and streamlined triangular shape and structured handle.
The bag's interior is secured by a discreet magnetic flap closure, which also enhances the bag’s natural slouch, a harmonious balance of form and function. Get a closer glimpse at all the details in this TikTok by American celebrity stylish Angela Fink.
