I can't tell you all enough how much I LOVE this purse! I Looked forever for something like this. All the pockets are great and the built-in wallet is perfect! Had plenty of slots, extra hide-aways and a change purse. I got the beautiful Toffee color in a soft leather. I will buy this again in a different color for sure!! It's the perfect purse! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
This is a winner!

I'm very impressed with the quality of this bag. Beautiful leather, and very good construction. The compartments are roomy enough and easy to get at without the bag being too oversized. The hardware looks good, and the zippers work easily. The front organizer wallet eliminates the need to carry a separate wallet, which means the bag can still be lightweight while holding everything I want to carry. The shoulder strap is a nice length and well anchored. The thickness is just right to allow the bag to have a slim silhouette even if I have quite a lot in it. There are plenty of slots and pockets, zippered, open or magnetic clasped, so I can keep things in their place and find them easily. There is even an internal strap with clip to secure keys. This bag is an incredibly good deal.
So close to perfect!

Mostly love this purse. Beautiful and so functional! Love the built in organizer with tons of credit card slots. So convenient to not have to fish for my wallet. Behind the organizer is a pocket where I keep my phone, and in back is another pocket where I put my business cards. My only complaint is it's just a bit too small. I've put two small fabric pouches--one with travel sized lotion, lipbalm, and compact--the other holds a travel sized pill bottle, gum, and cough drops--and my sunglasses in the main compartment, and seriously nothing else will fit. I've looked at larger Ili organizer purses on Amazon, but none have as many credit card slots (which is a deal breaker for me). @ili, if you read this, please build a slightly larger version of this bag with the same capacity in the organizer. Even two inches taller and two inches wider would make this the absolute best purse ever created! I'm still debating whether to keep this purse or return it. I absolutely love it, but it makes me nervous to know I couldn't fit the tiniest extra thing inside.
Perfect for Me - Might Be Too Small for You

Bottom Line: This bag is perfect for me, but it may be too small for you. There are 11 card slots (including two with windows) and several thoughtfully arranged pockets, so if your goal is to lighten your load and carry less, this is excellent. If you can't lighten your load TOO much, you will need something larger. Quality is good for the price.This bag is IT for me, but, as a person with some mobility challenges, my needs are very specific.I have lupus with inflammatory arthritis in my spine and hands. I also have a bit of cognitive impairment. Put that all together, and I am that lady fumbling with her wallet and pocketbook in the checkout line. That's bad enough, but I cannot carry too much weight, especially on my neck or shoulder - so I can't carry a heavy wallet inside even a light bag. If the bag is too big, I have a hard time finding my stuff in it. Too small, and my hands do not function well enough to get things in and out of it. Or I pull out what I want, and everything else drops onto the floor. Oh! And I walk with a cane, so I have to be able to work the thing with one hand.Embarrassing. Frustrating. Exhausting. And such a stupid little thing to have slowing my roll.I had this bag on my wish list forever and bought it with my Christmas money from my mom. For me, it is exactly the right size. It has enough card slots for all of my credit cards and the other cards (loyalty - big box club - AAA - my kid's insurance/prescription coverage) I use frequently without doubling up. Stuff I might need but probably won't goes in a pocket within the wallet compartment.It has a hefty key leash in the main compartment. Hefty.I can put my phone in the back pocket, which has a magnet closure that makes it easy to GET the phone out but hard to accidentally DUMP the phone out.Losing the weight of an organizer wallet significantly reduced the stress on my neck/spine, which in turn decreased the pain and numbness I get in my arms and legs while out and about.The whole purse is light enough and small enough to put inside a moderately sized tote, briefcase, or satchel (or diaper bag, if that is where you are in life) when I need to carry a laptop or tablet (rare occasions but when they happen, every ounce I have to carry counts, and the number of things I have to keep track of needs to be as small as possible). Smaller tablets easily will fit in the main compartment, but larger ones probably will not.Quality seems to be on par with price. The hardware is substantial. The zippers work smoothly. The leather is nice, and the lining is stitched in well. I own more expensive "better" bags (gifts - the price of this one was a LOT for my budget), but not one of them is this thoughtfully organized. I would give it five stars, but the size makes it a bit of a niche product and won't work for someone with more than my shortlist of necessities.
Exceptional bag.

Really nice bag. Love all the compartments. Nice darkish red interior in my black bag makes it easy to see inside. Front zippered area has 9 credit card slots and two id/window slots, a zippered pocket for coin, 2 spots for bills or receipts, one full width slip and 2 narrow slip pockets. The main compartment has a zippered pocket, 2 slip pockets and open area. There is a full width pocket on the back with magnetic closure and one slip pocket in the front. The leather is very rich looking. It has nice details like black trim on inside pockets, silver hardware and leather pulls on all the zippers. I thought the price was high at $85 but it's worth it.
No wallet needed!

Very pleased with my purchase of the Jeans Blue iLi New York Leather Cross body bag. Favorite feature: multiple credit card slots in front easy access pocket - no need for a separate wallet - has long pocket in here for bills and zip pocket for change or key fob - bonus! Plenty of room inside main compartment for 2 hard side eye glass cases, tissues, lipstick case, etc. Also easy access outside pockets to hold cell phone. Color great and leather quality very good and at a nice price. Also nice selection of colors available.

Wonderful handbag. Plenty of slots for cards. Easy to use zipped coin pocket and easy to access pocket for notes , plus two more slip pockets where I keep a strip of indigestion tablets and a strip of paracetamol and there is still room for the small purse I carry with spare change. All that in the front organiser pocket. The main handbag has 2 small slip pockets for my old flip phone and a packet of tissues and a zipped pocket. I love the secure & accessible key holder. On the exterior front and back are full width slip pockets with strong magnetic clasps. This bag has everything and not having to carry a purse is wonderful for me as I only have the use of one hand but is a bonus for anybody. I love this bag so much I have 3, one I dyed navy but the bone is my favourite as it has the light coloured interior I prefer.
