Review on πŸ‘œ Effortless Elegance: The Sak Iris Leather Small Hobo - Your Perfect Companion for Everyday Style by Melanie Trunnell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best design wallet

This is the second wallet in this style that I have bought because it is a PERFECT design for a wallet to me. Not too big, a zip opening at the top (which means things inside won't fall out if the handbag tips over in the car or plane), no dividers/compartments for fishing, and a handle that I can easily toss over my shoulder or carry without tie long shoulder straps. There is space for a large wallet, a showcase, a small notebook, a small cosmetic bag and a smartphone. (Actually, I can't fit my phone in the slot on the outside, which was probably designed before big phones became so ubiquitous.) Small wallets are cute little fancy things, but they don't hold the basic stuff I need. Large wallets can weigh so much before you even fill them (and by the law of wallets, you fill any wallet to capacity) I just don't want to put any more strain on my joints. So it's the right size, efficient and practical, well thought-out in design and looks very individual. I was a fan of SAK bags, both knit and leather, and was impressed by their consistent quality and finish without a lot of frills. This little hobo bag appears to be out of production, so the few that are still seen on Revain vary wildly in value and the range of colors is limited. It's a really vibrant mango, a bit flashy even to me, but I live in Florida so I can work with it :) I'd really like the folks at The Sak to reconsider, this size and this one bring design back to its once broad form. I remember seeing the color scheme a few years ago. This is a design that needs no improvement!
