Carrying your everyday essentials in one roomy hobo
Use this mid-sized suede hobo as your day-to-day bag, with room for a phone, wallet, headphones, makeup, and even a book or small notebook for a coffee shop or park outing. It measures about 13.5 inches wide, 9 inches tall, and 5.5 inches deep, with a patch pocket inside to keep smaller items organized. One owner reports it fits a lot and, thanks to the soft construction and wide shoulder strap, barely feels like it's there when worn.[1,2,3,4]
Carrying workday essentials and a tablet or small laptop
One shopper said the pillow version of this Brooklyn bag looked like a good pick for work after watching reviews, with room to just put everything in it. The brand describes the silhouette as holding everyday items like a phone, wallet, headphones and makeup, plus a small laptop or tablet, a book or a notebook.[2,5]
Ideal for Coffee Shop or Park Visits
This hobo bag serves as the ultimate accessory for casual daytime outings, such as visiting a coffee shop or spending time in the park. It fits everyday items like a phone, wallet, and makeup, as well as larger items such as a book, notebook, or small tablet.[2]
Everyday carry by hand or on the shoulder
Carry this soft suede hobo by its handle in hand or over your shoulder, thanks to a single curved strap that forms a wide loop from the top opening. A roomy interior with a zip-top closure and snap pocket suits everyday hauling, and one reviewer reported the leather moulds to her body so it barely feels like it's there when worn.[1,3,4,6,7]
Carrying your essentials securely in a roomy hobo
With its full-length zip-top closure, this suede hobo keeps everything inside secure while you wear it across your day. One commenter who owns the bag says it fits a lot and appreciates the added security of the zipper. The top zipper's exposed gold metal teeth add a finished detail to the pillowy silhouette.[1,3,4,7]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Brooklyn Pillow Suede Hobo Bag: Choose this if you prefer an elegant, soft-structured hobo bag made of 100% genuine suede, offering a pillowy feel and substantial capacity for daily essentials and a small laptop. Featuring a wide integrated strap and a secure zip closure, this bag is designed to be the ultimate companion for outings. Note that the leather's reported tendency to mold to the body is an experience shared by individual wearers.[1,3,4,6] | Brooklyn Rust Brown Suede Hobo Bag: Choose this if you want an elegant, minimalist hobo in rust-brown suede — crafted by Coach of durable, luxuriously soft double-faced suede — with a genuine leather lining, magnetic snap closure, inner snap-button pocket, grab or shoulder handle, and a signature dust bag included. Reviewers report it sits upright when set down, hugs the body rather than sticking out, and carries with even weight distribution on a thick, wide strap; it measures 14 inches (35.5 cm) long, 10 inches (25.5 cm) high, and 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide. Be aware that getting it wet in heavy rain can leave the suede looking rugged, grainy, and splotchy (though it stays durable), and one commenter found the suede felt rough.[8,9,10,11,12,13,14] | Brooklyn Leather Hobo Bag: Choose this if you want a lightweight, minimalist slouchy hobo in full-grain leather for everyday essentials, work or travel, in Black or Brown. It measures 11 inches by 11 inches by 3 inches with a magnetic closure and inner snap pocket, but one writer found a laptop a tight squeeze and some owners note the soft leather scuffs and shows wear at corners with use.[15,16,17,18,19,20,21] |

User praises zipper and slouchy softness fixing original Brooklyn's flaws
idk what’s up with some of the comments. some of the biggest issues i had with the original brooklyn was the lack of zipper and it doesn’t collapse into a the softest puddle of leather. that’s why i never bought it because i was afraid things would fall if it trips over. this one just checks all of the boxes, i can’t wait to get my hands on it 😍

Owner loves the maple pillow Brooklyn for its roominess, zipper, and body-hugging fit
I bought the maple coloured one on a whim when I was in Hong Kong [trying to resist the temptation of all the high-end stores around me] and I honestly love it. The leather moulds to the side of my body when I am wearing it, so it barely feels like it's there. It fits a LOT, and I love the added security of the zipper. I am 170cm so the size does not overwhelm my frame. I wish I had bought it in the black as well. Hoping it comes to Australia.

User was initially unsure but now loves the pillow Brooklyn for work and wants more
I had no desire to buy a Brooklyn, but then I saw it in clay and at a good discount and I purchased it on a whim. I love it. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the pillow Brooklyn when it came out but I watched a few reviews and thought it would be good for work and being able to chuck everything in it… And now I want more Brooklyns. Happy I got the pillow Brooklyn, but the original is now more of my favourite. Though ask me again when they release the smaller pillow Brooklyn 😬😬😬
