In the summer of 2020, CELINE directly launched the Ava handbag, which not only reproduced the advantages of the vintage Macadam handbag, such as its pleasing appearance and portable shape, but also upgraded its materials and craftsmanship. Compared with the old model, the Ava handbag has a stiffer silhouette, the old flower texture has become looser and a shadow effect has been added , making its "old-fashioned feel" less strong.

The outline of the bag is like a crescent moon. This type of bag is also called Hobo Bag , which literally means hobo bag in Chinese . Similar designs can often be seen in CELINE's early vintage bags.

Why is it called a hobo bag? Because it is inspired by the Bindle bags of American immigrant workers in the late 19th century . Homeless immigrants wrapped all their belongings in a bundle, hung it on a pole, carried it on their shoulders, and walked along the railroad tracks looking for work.

The name Hobo comes from a literary work, which implies a kind of American semi-heroism. In his novel Of Mice and Men, a 20th-century American writer, John Steinbeck wrote about the Great Depression in the 1930s: "Thousands of Americans were forced to live a Hobo lifestyle." It is said that the world's first Hobo Bag was born in 1936 and sold for only 35 cents .

The bag is made with great care, as it is made up of many curved shapes, and the assembly and splicing requires great patience to ensure that the crescent does not lose its shape. The edges are reinforced with brown calfskin piping , which not only highlights the smooth crescent shape, but also makes the overall outline more rigid and stylish.

The cutting of the Triomphe canvas has also been carefully calculated. Whether it is the front, back or bottom, the old pattern is completely symmetrical, and the details are very attentive. The color of the shoulder strap echoes the calfskin piping, which fits the retro style of the whole bag. The edge is decorated with white open stitching and black oiled edges. The length can be fine-tuned through the side buttonholes. The small gold-stamped logo on the top is very low-key. The streamlined design of the bag mouth ensures the smoothness of the zipper.

What can this bag hold?

The exterior of the bag is made of Triomphe canvas , which is light and durable. The lining is brown fabric , and there is an open inner pocket on the back, which can just hold an iPhone X.

We put a relatively thick wallet, mobile phone, makeup mirror, sunglasses, lip gloss, perfume, headphones and jewelry box in the bag. It can store all the basic equipment for girls going out, making it light and practical for daily shopping.
