Chloé Marcie Hobo Bag

Q: What typically fits in the Marcie Hobo (Medium)?
A: With approximate measurements of 32 x 32 x 10 cm, it comfortably holds a long wallet, phone, keys, a small cosmetic pouch, sunglasses case, a water bottle, and a tablet. Slim laptops up to around 13 inches may fit in a sleeve, but capacity depends on how you pack and the slightly slouchy shape—please refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: Can this bag be worn crossbody?
A: This piece is designed for shoulder carry or hand carry. It features a single wrapped top handle with an approximate drop of 18 cm and does not include a long crossbody strap.

Q: How is the bag organised inside and out?
A: It has a secure top zip closure. Inside you’ll find a khaki canvas lining with one zipped pocket and one slip pocket. There is also an external slip pocket concealed under the front flap for quick-access items like a phone or travel card.

Q: What leather is it and how should I care for it?
A: The Marcie Hobo is crafted from grained calfskin. Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove light surface dirt, then dry immediately. Use a neutral leather cream sparingly a few times a year, avoid harsh cleaners or prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight, and store stuffed in a breathable cover to help maintain shape.

Q: Is the handle comfortable on the shoulder?
A: The wrapped handle is designed for shoulder wear and most find the 18 cm drop comfortable over light layers. Over very bulky outerwear it may feel snug; adjust what you carry to keep the bag light and comfortable.

Q: Will it hold a 13-inch laptop?
A: Many slim 13-inch laptops can fit vertically or diagonally, but clearance at the zip opening and the soft, slouchy structure can limit thicker devices. A slim protective sleeve is recommended to prevent corner wear on the lining and to ease sliding through the zip opening.

Q: Is this a current or vintage iteration of the Marcie Hobo?
A: This is a vintage Marcie Hobo featuring a top zip closure and an external slip pocket under the front flap—details commonly seen on earlier seasons. More recent versions may differ in closure and detailing.

Q: What is included with this item?
A: Everything that comes with the bag is listed under the product information section on this page. If an item such as a dust bag or card is not listed there, it is not included.

Q: Where is it made?
A: The country-of-origin label states Italy.

Q: How does A Retro Tale authenticate this bag?
