Whether you’re the founding member of your own book club or simply enjoy popping open a good read on your commute to work, there’s one thing all bookworms can agree on: a bag with enough space to carry your latest read is essential.
The Teri Hobo Bag has made a name for itself as the ultimate book club bag, and for good reason. With a generously-sized interior, structured design and zip-top closure, the Teri Hobo fits more than you think—including the next book (or two) on your to-be-read list.
Read on for what makes the style the perfect plus-one for any and all occasions that require a juicy book by your side.
Why the Teri Hobo Bag Is a Book Club Favorite
Surprisingly Spacious Interior
Measuring 11.5" long, 9.25" tall and 3.5" wide, the Teri Hobo Bag can fit one or two books depending on the size, plus all your other essentials like your phone, keys, wallet and AirPods. Carry two medium-sized paperback books or one larger hardcover book in the Teri’s surprisingly spacious interior. Its structured shape and flat bottom will keep all your books secure.
Comfortable Wear
Like its smaller counterparts (the Teri Mini Crossbody and the Teri Shoulder Bag), the Teri Hobo Bag can also be styled as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag depending on your vibe. If your latest read is on the heavier side, balance out the weight of your bag by styling it across your body for more comfortable wear. It’s a simple swap that makes a huge difference.
Durable Design
Crafted of Signature Canvas, the Teri Hobo Bag is lightweight and sturdy—which means it can take on even your heaviest books without falling apart. With a zip-top closure, all your belongings will remain safe throughout your busiest commutes and dashes across campus.
