Review: Hobo "Lauren" wallet

I've been eyeing the Hobo Lauren wallet for quite awhile, and was recently lucky enough to get my hands on one.  This wallet gets a ten out of ten.

I was hesitant to take the $110 plunge because, really, do I need another clutch?  Turns out I did.  This has become my summer go-to, an easy piece to carry that fits all the essentials.  Keys, lipstick, my phone and a few cards all fit in the two snap-close side pockets, with extra room in the middle zipper pocket for any extra small things I pick up.

Great color options are available too.  I'm particularly fond of Sunflower and Tomato.  I carry Magenta, and the color has become more alive with wear.

I've heard the magnetic closure is sometimes not strong enough to keep the clutch closed, but I haven't encountered this problem.  I think this may actually be other brands copying the structure but not the quality.  I'll follow up on this after some time and give a report.

This is a classic piece you'll find yourself returning to again and again.  The Lauren goes into my work tote in the morning, transfers well to night, and comes with me everywhere on the weekend.
