The Freddy 3 in 1 hobo bag is the perfect balance between the timeless hobo bag and a stylish backpack. One quick slide of the strap and this hobo bag converts from a crossbody bag to a functional and perfect sized backpack. Slide the side straps and you get a great shoulder strap option…….creating the 3 in 1!  With the center tab on the strap, there is no fussing to find center when converting from bag to backpack, and no worries of your contents spilling out when you go back to a bag, as the tab keeps the bag from turning upside down. Also included are instructions to create a stunning braided or plain shoulder strap for that elegant look.

This bag is a soft-sided hobo bag that features a back exterior zippered pocket, softly curved side panels, and a top securing zipper. The interior is simple yet functional and has a zippered pocket on the back wall with a corset ring hook to secure your keys, and a 3 sectioned slip pocket on the front wall. The beauty of this bag is the conversion from bag to a backpack in one quick and easy step.  You can add a custom braided or plain shoulder strap to add elegance to complete the look. This bag is classic and timeless with options for all.
