Store Profile: The Hobo Society



I've been following Hobo Society for quite a while now via Instagram (@the_hobo_society). Usually they post home deco posts and I can tell you now, once I get my own flat in Cardiff, London, and Tokyo (a girl can dream can't she?) they will be drowning in Hobo Society interiors (but I shall save this for the next article). I wanted to give you readers a quick glimpse to their latest clothing designs, and a quick overview of the services they provide and their very unique brand of fashion.

Before I begin, I need you guys to understand what the term 'Hobo' means. Hobos are travellers - those who travel the rail network looking for opportunities and adventure, and it's exactly that sense of wanderlust that represents Hobo Society. They're travellers, and they've been everywhere, they've seen it all and they know exactly what products they're selling. They find their treasures while adventuring across the globe and offer them to us, the buyers, and that's what makes this shop stand out from most. None of their pieces are a product of mass consumption, they're all one of a kind. This means that when you buy a Hobo Society product, only you own it, no one else, just you. This company is giving you the chance to have something truly special - an outfit just as unique as you are. They encourage their buyers to invest in something that has character, something that defines you, something that you can treasure.

All the products are produced using traditional methods, and because everything they make is made to order they take into consideration any particular request their buyers have. They also offer an after sale service if you have any trouble, so you can guarantee the utmost quality with your purchase.

They also have their own fashion line entitled 'The Hobo Collection'. It's designed for, and exclusively sold by, The Hobo Society. Here, you can find high-quality, locally-made, authentic products.
What makes The Hobo Society such a fashion pioneer is that each piece has its own history. Here are a few examples;



This fox waistcoat is embroidered with vintage gold-plated solid silver piece which was taken from an old Tunisian ceremonial coat and that's not all, it's composed of recycled fur which was taken from vintage fur coats which was then recut and resized. This little gem could be yours for £707 ($1,186) plus shipping. 


This beauty is made with Italian leather and suede lining. You can wear it one or two ways - you can either wear it as a leather jacket (nice!) or has a scarf. It's also reversible so you can either wear the leather or the suede, depending on your mood. The piece is part of a collaboration with Belgian designer Olivia Hainaut, who also runs her own brand of jewellry and leather accessories. You can choose this piece in seven different colours and colour proposition is also welcome - how cool is that!? This piece costs £1,172 ($1,965) plus shipping.


Another elegant design by Olivia Hainaut. This cape is handmade with the best cashmere and Italian leather. All yours for £1,111 ($1,863) plus shipping.

I've attained some exclusive images (thank you, Hobo Society) of other items they have to offer. Images were taken by a photographer friend to the Officiel Paris
