HOBO’s Georgetown Store Makes the Most of Limited Space
The leather goods retailer opened its latest locale this past fall
HOBO (ANNAPOLIS, MD.), a premium leather accessories brand, opened its second storefront this past fall in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The female-founded company “rooted in community, craft, quality and functionality” found an ideal fit for the new locale alongside a variety of charming boutiques.
Although HOBO’s new store doesn’t boast a large square footage, the open floor plan allows for a streamlined shopping experience and offers an uninterrupted view of the merchandise. The light hardwood floors and white built-ins juxtapose varying shades of warm hues including deep reds, blues and golden browns. Additionally, warm overhead illumination creates a calming atmosphere for HOBO’s customers.
“Georgetown holds a special place in my heart,” says Koren Ray, HOBO’s Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer. “The new store will embody our brand’s ethos, creating an inviting environment that showcases our signature colors, textures and styles and celebrates our unwavering commitment to creating quality leather goods made to last.”

Hear from Bevan Bloemendaal, former VP, Global Environments & Creative Services at Timberland, how to connect the dots between disciplines, claiming and creating a clear differentiation for the brand and ensuring that any asset (experience, product, ad, store, office, home, video, game) is created with intention.
