This is a true hobo bag with a large open space and a pleated front. The front has a brown and black swirl print and the back is solid black cotton fabric. The sides tie up to create a rounded shape. The main compartment has a nice heavy ykk zipper closure. There are double handles that allow the bag to rest comfortably under the shoulder. The fabric is a medium weight cotton, not too thin, not too heavy. Has a comfortable, combed feeling to it.
