The Songmont Medium Yore Hobo Bag is a leather hobo from Shanghai, cut in a slouchy silhouette for commuting and short trips. On Onyx and Sandal, Spanish calfskin runs through Songmont's own shrinkage tanning process, so the grain reads a little differently on every hide and softens further with wear.
- On Onyx and Sandal, top-grain vegetable-tanned leather from Spanish calfskin, taken through a 40% shrinkage tanning process that raises a natural, slightly creased grain
- Slouchy hobo silhouette; Onyx and Sandal also have multiple interior compartments and a detachable attachment point for small essentials
- Front flap pocket with a snap closure, sized for a phone or transit card
- Adjustable shoulder strap, worn on the shoulder, under the arm, in hand or across the body
- Vacuum-plated stainless steel hardware: gold on Onyx, Sandal, Sandal Suede and Onyx Grain, silver-toned on Cobble Grain. On those five colours it is 316L, the same finishing process used in luxury watches, for water and corrosion resistance
- Fabric lining set against the leather exterior
- Drawn from the Yore collection, a line built around a Tibetan tiger-tooth motif

Material
Vegetable-tanned leather exterior (top-grain Spanish calfskin) on Onyx and Sandal. Sandal Suede is sueded cowhide with full-grain leather. Dune Suede is cow suede. Ink Grey is full-grain calfskin, vegetable-tanned for a soft, naturally pebbled feel. Onyx Grain and Cobble Grain are full-grain tumbled leather, breathable and scratch-resistant. Fabric lining throughout.
On Onyx and Sandal, the hide runs through Songmont's proprietary shrinkage tanning process, which pulls at the surface and raises an organic, slightly creased grain unique to each bag. It softens quickly with handling and takes on a deeper, richer tone the more it is carried.
Keep it away from water, perfume and cosmetics, and store it upright in its dust bag when it is not in use.
How to Style the Medium Yore Hobo Bag
Wear it on the shoulder for the day's errands, then drop the length and carry it by hand for evening; the wider body takes a jumper or light jacket without losing its shape. It sits naturally alongside the rest of the Songmont edit, a size up from the Small Yore Hobo Bag, and our personal shoppers have run it against every silhouette in the line in Songmont bags reviewed.

About Songmont
Songmont works out of Shanghai, building rounded, padded silhouettes around Chinese architectural references and cultural motifs, from temple rooflines to the tiger-tooth pattern behind the Yore collection. The label has built a loyal following at home and now ships well beyond it, carried by shoppers drawn to its quiet, architectural take on everyday leather goods.
What is Songmont known for?
Songmont is a Shanghai leather goods label known for rounded, architecturally inspired bags with soft, structured silhouettes, with an emphasis on everyday wearability over logo branding.
How does vegetable-tanned leather age?
Vegetable-tanned leather darkens and softens with handling, picking up a patina that tracks where the bag has actually been carried. Expect the grain to relax further over the first few months, with the colour deepening slightly under everyday light and wear.
What fits in the Medium Yore Hobo Bag?
At 34cm wide and 13.5cm deep, the Medium Yore Hobo Bag holds an 11-inch iPad alongside the everyday essentials, with the front flap pocket kept for anything you want to reach quickly. It sits a size up from the Small Yore Hobo Bag, built for days that need a bit more room.
