I'd seen this item in a different color in a store and I'm familiar with Hobo products, so I knew what I was getting. The leather is very soft and the color is very pretty -- subtle, not too bright (at least in this green -- can't say for the other colors!). There is room for lots of cards, a phone, an inner zip area, cash, lipstick, and even a few other small things. Sort of a cross between a wallet and a wristlet you just throw everything into. Unlike other such items with card slots, it allows adequate space for the actual contents in the design -- that is, it is streamlined without the cards etc inside, and stays streamlined even after loading it up (some wallets look nice and sleek and then get so bulky after you put stuff in them they lose their initial appeal!). Note that it is bigger in length than a typical wallet. More like a clutch with a wrist strap. But it fits very nicely inside my medium size or tote-style handbags, and is beautiful all on its own.
