Karen Elson knows how to throw a party…and design a handbag!
The Nashville-based model, artist and entrepreneur hosted a chic soiree in honor of her limited-edition collection in collaboration with Hobo, a heritage leather goods company.

The Hobo Leather Lounge, housed in the gorge space at White’s Mercantile, was the perfect place to debut the Hobo x Karen Elson collection.
While guests noshed on bites from Henrietta Red and sipped cocktails by Urban Cowboy they were able to peruse the purses—one hundred percent of the proceeds from which benefit The Girlgaze Foundation, a non-profit vertical of the online jobs marketplace and creative agency for diverse and inclusive female-identifying non-binary creatives.

Elson, who also performed for the crowd, presented her collection of three classic Hobo styles, each adorned with one-of-a-kind, hand-painted illustrations by renowned artist and illustrator Costanza Theodoll-Braschi.
Centered around the editorial theme Oh My Goddess, the collection beautifully celebrates feminine strength, beauty, vulnerability, sexuality and mysticism.
