Louis Hobo Bag – A0 Printed Paper Template

Prefer not to print and piece together your pattern at home? Our A0 printed paper template for the Louis Hobo Bag is the perfect solution. Professionally printed on sturdy paper and delivered straight to your door, it’s ready to use right out of the envelope—no taping or trimming required.

The Louis Hobo Bag is a beautifully practical everyday bag with a soft, slouchy silhouette and a stylish round bugatti-style handle that gives it a unique designer look. With its generous size, magnetic closure, and both internal and external zip pockets, this is a bag that’s as functional as it is fashionable. It’s been a core design in our collection since the very beginning—and continues to be a favourite for good reason.

The included detachable baguette-style handle allows you to carry it comfortably on the shoulder or add your own crossbody strap for hands-free wear. It’s a satisfying make that’s totally achievable on a domestic sewing machine, and a fantastic project for beginners looking to explore leathercraft.
