Customer Reviews HOBO Rachel

Love this wallet! It has easy access for my bills and coins and great organization for my cards and ID. I looked for a LONG time for just the right wallet and found it with this one. And with Zappo's return policy, I knew I was safe in ordering it.

I've been wanting a Hobo wallet for a long time, but couldn't justify the cost to myself, so I was happy when some relatives offered to get me one for Christmas. Zappos shipping was super-speedy as always. The wallet itself is nice: I haven't had a chance to really road-test it yet, but it seems to be both secure and easy to open, has a lot of spaces for items, and folds up flat and looks great. The slots for credit cards seem a little tighter than I expected, but probably they'll stretch. I did have two issues: (1) the lining fabric I got is not the same as pictured on the Zappos website page. I actually like the fabric I got even better than the fabric in the picture (it's red and white with a pattern of mod circles, and the picture as of this writing shows a silver paisley), so it wasn't a problem, but I figured it would be good for others to know. (2) There are some tiny black smudges on the lining; I can't tell if they came from the leather exterior or not. I asked Zappos to advise me on how to clean them. Probably it will be easy, and it's a minor problem anyway. But I hope it's not an issue with the leather.

I love this wallet, it is the perfect size, and nice color (I bought mine in a yellow-green). But after a year of normal use, the yellow leather started getting surface cracks, revealing a grayish color under the dye, and is not fixable with conditioner/cleaner. The color was only on the surface and is not all the way through, really looks shabby for so much money! Another friend had the same problem. This price for a year of it looking good?! I am very disappointed! I had my previous red Coach wallet for over five years, thicker leather, and the color stayed true.

I have owned many Hobo wallets over the years. I have owned three "Lauren" Hobo wallets and loved them all. The main reason I tried this style is to have a change purse on the outside of the wallet. I have had this wallet since January and the clasp has become so loose I can no longer keep change in the outer pocket. It just spills out into the bottom of my purse. This outer clasped pocket has been rendered useless. I use the inside zipper pocket for gift cards and such, so I now have to carry a separate coin purse. I may try to use some pliers to tighten it, but for the price of the wallet, you would hope an owner would not have to break out the hand tools to keep it useful.

I wanted to like this wallet but I hated it! It is obnoxiously huge and change falls out of the kiss lock. Zappos was awesome at letting me return and exchange this wallet for a Lodis wallet which I love. Zappos is the best!

I bought this wallet for its style and love the retro look. The leather was soft and marked up like it was used when I received it, but that is the distressed look of the wallet. After using it, I noticed that the change purse clasp was not working great and I was losing change from the wallet constantly. Just the other day, it totally stopped working. You would think such an expensive wallet would be well built. I am sorry to say, this one I received was not. The change purse pocket is totally useless and unusable.

I've had this same wallet and used it till it died. Love it, I think it's a good investment. It has many compartments, just enough credit slots, and the magnet close is wonderful for arthritic fingers.

Nicely made!

I LOVE Hobo wallets and this one certainly doesn't dissapoint. The leather is so soft even though this is simple, it is still very stylish. Love the magnet closure and has all the right pockets for things. Could even use as a clutch if you want.

Nice wallet, like the organization features

love it, beautiful!!!!

Buttery soft leather. Perfect size. Love the magnetic closure!

Very good quality and plenty of room.

I love Hobo and this wallet is perfect for what I carry! I guess it would be nice if the “purse” part was a tad bigger so I could fit my phone but it’s fine. I love this style and color!! One of my fav wallets!!

Beautiful leather!

Love the style of this wallet.

OMG! This wallet is incredible! It is such a supple buttery soft leather, and the color is truly unique and beautiful! The coin purse part is a tad difficult to open, but I have a feeling it's something I will get used to as I use the wallet. The magnetic closures are strong and are really a nice feature. Who knew a wallet could be luxurious, but this one really is!

I absolutely love this wallet!! My favorite I’ve ever had.

I absolutely love this wallet! It’s exactly what I was looking for. Even prettier in person.

Lovely wallet. Hobo leather is amazing as always. FYI - if you are looking for a large wallet/clutch to carry lipstick or a phone - this is not the one.

I love this wallet SO MUCH. It's a perfect size for all my cards plus extra room for things like library card or CTA card. It's a beautiful color (I got the blue) and really high quality.

Very soft and well constructed wallet! This is my first time shopping on Zappa and it was easy, fast and seamless to purchase from them. Over all great experience and I just love my new wallet!!

I am obsessed with this wallet! It is made of super-soft leather and is crazy useful. The pouch is big enough for basics so it can be used as a clutch if need be. There are enough slots for a decent number of cards, a coin purse, pockets for cash/check book/ receipts, and a separate zippered change compartment. There is even a little mirror in its own slot. This is definitely a wallet worth reordering because I can't imagine ever finding a replacement when it needs to be retired.

Beautiful wallet but liked another Hobo wallet style better.

Gorgeous! I purchased the green and love it. Great space, not bulky, and the leather is very soft.
