Review on Stylish and Spacious HOBO Rachel Truffle Handbag and Wallet Combo for Women by Stephanie Jonsson

I really like this purse. I received the black version and the color is just as shiny and smooth as it appears on the product page. It's big for a wallet and, as another reviewer wrote, can be carried as a clutch. The advantage of the size is that it has so many compartments that everything stays neatly organized. In fact, when I first opened the bag, I was disappointed by the small compartment on the front with a kisslock. At first I thought I would use it as a coin purse but the lining is not closed and the sides don't go all the way down making coins easy to lose through the slots. Then, as I rummaged in my wallet, I realized I might as well put my coins in the zippered center pocket. Disappointed succeeded, but there are little things that bother me in my wallet.1. The skin scratches very easily. I've been wearing this wallet for less than 24 hours and the flap where the wallet unfolds is scratched like crazy.2. The magnets are strong and pose a hazard to the magnetic stripe on your cards. Because of this, I have to be very careful with where I place my cards. I make sure to put magnetized cards in the middle between the magnets and other cards like insurance and work/school ID on top and bottom. The size also has its disadvantages. There are many compartments, but if you fill them all and use them all, the wallet will become bulging and unyielding unless you put few things in each compartment. There are quite a few loose threads. There is nothing constructive about this, but it is annoying because of the price of the wallet and makes the quality assurance somewhat suspect. The wallet smells like cheap leather, which explains the no. 1 in this list. All in all, aside from a few picky things, this is a great wallet.
