Customer Reviews HOBO Deleted

Didn't like the "vintage" leather... felt cheap. Nice styling. Very strong magnet (had my doubts). Hate the interior fabric of all the Hobo Int'ls; they make the item look cheap. Along with the exterior leather, I thought the price wasn't justified. If this was Coach I would have paid triple the price and been extremely happy with it.

Retro chic! It's easy to see why there's a lot of buzz about this bag. It's unique. You won't find anything else quite like this hybrid purse-wallet. But in trying to be both, it has made a couple of compromises. It's rather flat and sleek. As a purse, it's hard to fit even your most basic stuff inside without spoiling the look. A cell phone and/or keys, for instance, will cause visible bulges, though after the bag stretches out, they become less obvious. As a wallet, it's very large and heavy to carry around inside another purse, though the organizational components are well thought-out. The bag feels very comfortable in the hand and the look is just gorgeous. I have it in Pearl, a color that's now unfortunately hard to find. Pictures never do this stunning color justice. It's not white, but a warm, creamy ivory with a subtle iridescence. I love it with jeans, with black, you name it. I recommend the Lauren as a purse or an evening clutch only if you can pare your junk down to the barest essentials -- or just get some really flat stuff! As a wallet, I prefer the Diane. It has a similar look but won't take up as much space inside another bag. Hobo quality is excellent. I have been buying their bags since they have been making them, and I still own a Hobo double-zip wallet that I got as a gift in 1994. Though the Vintage Collection bags (like this one) don't hold up as nicely as the Milanos, any leather wear adds to the character.

Oh, how I loved this wallet. It broke today. I thought for the price it'd last longer than 1 year. Sigh.

I found the leather too floppy to function effectively. The latch also did not function smoothly like my previous Hobo clutch (which was amazing!)

I have a love/hate relationship with this wallet. Love - it's very stylish, exceptionally organized and doubles as a clutch. Hate - I have the Fawn color (light beige) which is beautiful but unfortunately it is not wearing well at all. I often toss it into one of my many Hobo handbags and the lining from the Hobo bags have discolored the bottom corners of my Lauren after less than two months of use. So I decided to try a darker color and ordered the Black in addition to the Fawn. I have no idea how well the Black one wears because it smelled so bad I had to send it back immediately. It had the most horrible, synthetic chemical smell you could imagine. For the price I paid for this wallet, I expected it to look new longer than two months, especially when carrying it with a matching brand handbag.

I received my second Lauren today. My first was in Fawn with the red print lining. Love that little clutch. I ordered another one in Black that has this fall's purple print lining for my mom. Unfortunately it will be going back. It reeks. It smells so bad that I literally recoiled when I opened the package. It's a horrible chemical, synthetic smell. So disappointed. Heads up to anyone ordering a color from this fall season. Hopefully it was just a small batch of them that have this horrible chemical smell and not all of them. I will exchange in the hopes that the next one is of the quality I've come to expect from Hobo International. One star for comfort since I literally can't stand to be in the same room with it.

Let me start by saying, I love the Hobo brand and have several products. However, I purchased the Lauren in the "Red Plum" color and, while it was beautiful, after about two weeks of use, the dye started to rub off, especially on the corners. This isn't something that should happen with a $100+ wallet and I've never experienced it before with Hobo so was disappointed. Zappos was really great, however, and let me send it back for a full refund.

I purchased a green clutch and wallet it is very nice but my closure does not function. It is very new and I cannot close it shut. I am very disappointed.

Was so excited for this beautiful wallet. I'm addicted to Hobo. Unfortunately I didn't realize the material used for this is a suede like finish. Ivory suede...not a good combination for a busy mom with a Hobo purse full of snacks and water bottles. One pen mark or dirty finger print and this lovely wallet is ruined. Really surprised that this was the material used. Not practical at all. Gorgeous, but realistically I'd ruin it within the week.

Love the style of the wallet but the white speckles of the wallet were already falling off after only 2-3 months! Wish I would have know that it wasn't the actual pattern of the material but an applied design. I wouldn't have chosen this design if it was going to look awful after a few months especially for the amount of money spent.
