The Hobo International Zoe wristlet/wallet meets all of my expectations--and then some. And it's hard to meet my expectations. Here's the thing: I'm an absent-minded professor trapped in a young woman's body. I look like I should have my life together, but really, it's a miracle if I know where my keys, bus pass, credit card, driver's license, and cell phone all are.

But to survive, I need that miracle to happen automatically. I'm busy! I have a fast-paced job and I take evening classes. I don't have two hours to spare rooting around for a freaking bus pass. And so, I figured the solution to my problem would be to get something that physically attached to me so I could keep track of my stuff. Duh, right? A wristlet--any wristlet--would do!

And so, I bought a cheap wristlet. And it sort of worked for...3 weeks. Then I realized that I needed my wristlet do more than just attach to my arm and look pretty. I upgraded 8 more times before I finally purchased the Hobo International Zoe wristlet/wallet on Amazon.com. It's a little bulkier than I hoped, but given that it's a powerhouse among wristlet/wallets, the size isn't a dealbreaker.

Ultimately, here's what I needed: credit card pockets, a zipped coin section, a section for flat dollar bills, enough space to comfortably hold my T-Mobile MyTouch phone and a small Moleskine planner, a full zipper across the top so things couldn't fall out, to not be datasafe so my work badge could just scan through it, and a durable connector between the part that connects to the wrist and to the wallet so they wouldn't separate accidentally. Oh yeah, and I still needed it to look adorable and match my entire wardrobe.

Too much to ask? Nope. The Hobo International Zoe wristlet/wallet in black accomplishes all of that and more.

More? How is that even possible? Well, tonight, I was physically attacked on my way home from class. Some jerk-wad thought it would be OK to steal my Zoe wristlet from me. But I had it wrapped around my wrist and I had a grip on it with my hand--so even though I was knocked over several times and kicked, and even though the jerk-wad tried to pry the wristlet away from me repeatedly--I was able to hold on and get in a few kicks of my own because the connector was built so solidly. Eventually, help came and the jerk-wad ran away. Whew! Yikes! Zoikes! Terrifying and so not cool. But I'm ecstatic that I prevailed through this battle with the help of my left-hand gal, Zoe the wristlet/wallet. Zoe, who saved me from having to get another driver's license, set of keys, cell phone, 4 credit cards, Moleskine planner, and $37.63. Zoe, who unlike her owner, still looks completely flawless after a rough night.

My Zoe has officially earned her stripes as a trusty and formidable sidekick. I bet yours will, too.

The product was delivered to me on time. A few months after use the strap broke. It was easy to fix, but my other Hobo products i've owned in the past have held up for much longer.

I have this in 6 colours (black, brown, ivory, pewter, gold and silver) and I use them both for travel and for everyday.

The pockets hold my driver's license, credit cards and airline cards, while the zippered pocket holds some change (but it is also big enough to hold US currency), the larger slip pocket holds US$ bills. The area in the middle holds a pen and my boarding pass, passport, e-ticket and hotel & car rental confirmation with room to spare. The clutch interior is also long and tall enough to hold the paper ticket sleeve which has all the airline's numbers. Even with all the stuff in, the wristlet remains relatively flat.

I also love how there is a full length zipper that keeps everything secure, so that I can just toss things in when rushing hrough the terminal. At my destination, I can use it both as a wallet and as a clutch when going out for dinner.

This wristlet is the perfect combination between those large ugly bulky travel organizers and a wallet.

Beautiful Hobo wristlet wallet.....very very beautiful.....i gave it as a gift and she was extremely happy with the color and style!!!

I thought the cardholder may very easy to drop the cards in the bag. But cards are very stable in the cardholder. The bag is not easy to fall from my wrist. It still looks slim even with a lot of stuffs 'all the stuffs I want to put into, cards, keys, work badges, ID, money, checkbooks, receipt after shopping... )
This bag looks good, feels good, functions good, not expensive, what do I need more? I'm very satisfied with this order!
