Ideal for a summer brunch, gallery opening or dinner date, this vintage Balenciaga Small Neo Classic Hobo in white grained leather with silver-toned hardware brings clean, modern elegance. Wear on the adjustable shoulder strap; the top zip and external pocket keep essentials secure from day to night.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What can the Small Neo Classic Hobo typically hold? A: With approximate measurements of 24 × 23 × 13 cm, it comfortably fits daily essentials such as a smartphone, compact wallet, keys, sunglasses and a small cosmetics pouch. It is not designed for A4 documents or laptops. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact dimensions.
Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody? A: It is primarily a shoulder bag with an adjustable strap listed at approximately 52 cm. Crossbody wear may sit higher on the torso and will depend on your height and preferred drop. We recommend comparing the strap measurement to a bag you already own for the best reference.
Q: What are the key features of the Neo Classic Hobo design? A: Typical features include grained calfskin leather, a top zip closure with knotted leather pullers, an external zipped pocket, fabric lining with an internal pocket, and embossed branding with moto-inspired buckle details. Hardware varies by colourway; this piece has silver-toned hardware.
Q: How does the Neo Classic Hobo differ from the City or Hourglass styles? A: The Neo Classic Hobo offers a softer, curved hobo silhouette with a top zip and front zipped pocket, whereas the City (Neo Classic/City) is more rectangular with top handles, and the Hourglass features a structured, arched base. The hobo is generally lighter and streamlined for daily carry.
Q: Is the leather durable and how should I care for it? A: The grained calfskin is robust and more scratch-concealing than smoother leathers. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use, keep it away from prolonged heat/sunlight and moisture, and store it lightly filled in a breathable dust bag to maintain shape.
Q: Any special care advice for the white colour? A: Light leathers can be prone to colour transfer from dark fabrics (e.g., denim). Avoid prolonged rubbing against new or non–colourfast garments, and consider using a colourless leather protector suitable for light leathers. If transfer occurs, act promptly and consult a leather-care professional to avoid damage.
Q: What is included with this item? A: Everything included is listed under product information. This specific piece is offered without additional items. If you need clarification, please contact us before purchasing.
Q: Is the strap removable or replaceable? A: This example features a single adjustable shoulder strap as shown. Strap removability can vary by season; for this piece, please rely on the photos and product information. For longevity, we recommend using the original strap only.
Q: Where is this bag made? A: This example carries a Made in Italy label, consistent with Balenciaga’s production for this line. Please see product information for the country of origin indicated for this item.
Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag? A: Every item is meticulously inspected by our in‑house experts using multi‑point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, branding, and interior codes. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell and can share additional photos or details on request.
