How many time did you try tying a bandana to a stick so that you could look like a cartoon homeless person when you were little? It was a standard part of my running-away-from-home-to-live-on-the-open-road fantasy, that included an oversize black jacket covered with patches and a fabulously tattered top hat. Now, a modern variation on the hobo bindle is available on Etsy for just $59. Get yours in plaids, swirls, solids, or stripes! It’s fun to look comically poor!
From BagsOnSticks:
Bags On Sticks are a cool new take on the iconic hobo stick. I realized there was nobody designing bags on wooden handles and thought that was unfortunate. So, I decided to design bags to be carried on an attractive handle. This bag is my Vine series and is made of cotton canvas, cotton fabric, and a hardwood handle. Typically the handle is maple but could be ash or bamboo. It is a durable bag asking to be used.
Love it! Get yours here!
