I got the large in purple. For reference in the pictures I'm 5'4".I really love this bag. The purple color is a beautiful rich plum. I got it as a secondary purse to bring on short car trips to carry various toiletries, lotion, or whatever I might need. It replaced my old purse, and what an upgrade!This thing carries a lot. It's got three zipper compartments on the front, 1 zipper compartment on the back, two stretchy pockets on the sides, two zipper compartments on the inside, and two side pockets on the inside that you can slide stuff in like lotions and they stand up. The purse sits up easily without falling over so you could put something in there that you want to stay in the upright position.The quality is great. I love that it is nylon. This means that it will last a while and will be easy to clean. I couldn't find a tag that says what the material is, but it feels like a soft luxurious nylon on the outside. The inside is gray. There is an odor to it after first opening that smells like expensive glue. It reminds me of the same smell you get in a new car. Some people hate that smell but I find it pleasant. The strap is pretty and shiny. I can see the strap getting twisted because of the way the metal thing is a bit wide, but I don't think it's really a big deal.I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I'll see how it holds out over time and we'll update if there are any issues.

Soooo. Great purse, ordered the larger one, color is perfect lots of pockets. Exceptâ mine came moldy. Black mold, white mold, smelly mold, corroded zipper pulls in the inside, just gross. For $20 I decided to just wipe it all off with vinegar water, put it in a garment bag and threw it in the washer with Oxy Clean and the strongest smelling soap I had. It came out good as new smelling even better.

I bought this initially as a replacement for a beloved Sherpani purse that I'd recently lost. I wasn't super crazy about the look of this new one but didn't want to spend the cash on a nicer one. I got this and realized it was way better than I'd anticipated! There are SO MANY POCKETS. For someone who loves to organize like me, it's a dream come true. â¤ï¸

This is a beautiful, practical purse. The fabric has a sheen similar to satin and the hardware is lovely also. It has a really long crossbody strap that makes putting on and taking off easy for my arthritic joints. I ordered the large size and am glad I did. It easily holds what I had been stuffing into my old leather purse. And, it is so lightweight that, even with all my stuff loaded in, it weighs less than the old leather one does empty!It has more pouches and pockets than I know what to do with. It also is large enough to carry my Fire tablet and the bluetooth keyboard for it when I need to take computing power with me. I am overjoyed and pleased as punch.

This bag is a little lighter than I expected. I would say it is more magenta than purple. I ordered the small to downsize and the size is exactly as I expected but I still can't fit all of my stuff inside. That is on me though. My biggest complaint about the purse though is the shoulder strap. It does not stay adjusted to the length I like, it slides every time I pick it up. Also, the buckle on the shoulder strap is very sharp. I could see it scraping or cutting me eventually.

I ordered the large bag. Itâs not quite as large as Iâd hoped but Iâm a mom. Is a bag REALLY ever big enough? There are so many pockets and itâs rwally versatile. The zipper pulls have fallen off of a few of the zippers but if you just grab some pliers and pinch them completely shut, it can be avoided. No big deal. My only real complaint is that the strap hardware gets a little twisted sometimes and causes the bag to hang a little wonky. Again, not a deal breaker, Iâm just a little ocd about stuff like that.

The description is accurate. I needed a purse that was large enough for my phone, glasses, wallet, chargers, and assorted junk. And, I wanted it to be lightweight. I am very satisfied with it. I also wanted zipper pockets. I read the description and it sounded as though it would work for me and it has.

I was recently on vacation, and I had ordered this bag specifically for my trip. It has a ton of pockets and compartments both inside and out. I had nice, deep pockets on the outside for my ID and travel documents, and more than enough room on the inside for a large wallet, my glasses in a case, sunglasses in a case, a snack bag of chips, and other sundry items such as lip balm, eye drops etc. Plus, as a bonus, the crossbody adjusts to be really long, which I liked.

Review for the smaller bag (Black)Iâve been using this cross-over bag for a few weeks now and love it. Iâm a purse lover and organizing fanatic. I love having bags with spots for all of my things I carry around with me. This bag has loads of pockets and the main section is smartly divided up with two side pockets (great for iPhone 7), a zippered compartment in the middle to separate the main space into two sections and another zippered pocket on the side.Outside on the front has one good-sized pocket (I keep two foldable shopping bags in it), a smaller pocket (great for my bulky keys and SUV fob) and a thin pocket right on the front.The back has a pocket the perfect size for my Kindle Paperwhite which is always with me. The strap is very comfortable and easy to lengthen for crossover (even worked well over my bulky winter coat) or shortened for over the shoulder wear. I like the softer feel of the material too.The only aspect I wasnât fond of was the side pocket which, I assume, would be for a water bottle. If so, itâs much too narrow. Itâs so narrow you may get a very compact umbrella into it but otherwise itâs pretty useless.Overall, this is a modestly priced bag that is great for everyday use but would also be perfect for day trips/travel.

This is now my everyday crossbody purse. Especially now in the winter, your hands should be free at all times for other things such as holding on railings on the bus/train, while walking, or touching your phone. I mean, this is a good size (I got the bigger size) for me and my necessities. Some might find it huge, but I like it bigger because you can stick your gloves and toque on it when you are in the bus if it gets hot inside. Then you would not worry losing anything because everything is tucked away properly and neatly. I also like the many pockets outside and inside, its like a mini organized thingy for your belongings on the inside sides. It also has a big space in the middle. A very good buy indeed since it comes in solid neutral colors (I got black) so you can pair it with any clothing.

Although I am returning as faulty, I am buying another. These bags are made in a very pretty satin material with metal zips and no horrid logos or badges. The small size is perfect for going to the cinema or pub etc. The large size is big enough to take a small sandwich box to work, or picking up a ready meal from the corner shop on the way home. The elastic pockets on the end of the bag are perfect for a folding umbrella or tissues but IMO a couple of inches too short to hold a heavy water bottle comfortably. The bag folds flat for storage or to pop in a suitcase for a holiday, and is like a tardis, especially the large size. The shoulder strap is a foot too long but this is easily fixed with scissors, needle and thread. I am buying in both sizes and several colours. Love it!

This is a brilliant bag, firstly its waterproof so great for winter, it's a nice size and has loads of pockets to keep me organised. One of the best features for me is that it has an elasticated pocket on each end of the bag that you can put a collapsible brolly in to save carrying it especially when it's wet and means that you never end up leaving it on the train/bus floor.

This bag is available in two sizes. I bought the larger one and immediately wished I hadn't - it's huge! (And just a temptation to carry too much).A very good design, except for two things:1) it's not waterproof, not even really shower-proof2) there are plenty of external pockets, which is great. There are also an couple of internal pockets which are useful for security.However the bag also has another divider in the main compartment which doubles as a further pocket. This divider pocket is a nuisance. It's not rigid so just gets in the way, making it hard to just drop things in the main compartment and fiddly trying to find things again.

I wanted a fairly large bag to use on days out with our dog and to go shopping, on reading reviews I thought that I could not go far wrong with one of these. When the bag came l could see that I would not be dissapointed. My first use was in town and I was really surprised by the size of the products that I could not find where things had been put. The next trip was to national trust home where our dog loves it but taking a dog is like taking a child with all the bits .I did not. Want to take our back pack so everything was going in the bag I even took her water bottle as well as ours ,purse,,poobags,camera spare lead ,dog treats ,plastic bags, my medication as I suffer from migraine and Asthma that meant inhalers nd our phone and yet it still had a small amount of space yet. So all in all I would call this a good buy ,if you can remember where everything was.

This is my second bag I buy payed double what I payed for first one.They are fantastic waterproof plenty pockets and look good ! I am diabetic so medication and snacks must go every where. We put the first bag through its paces plane rides, trains, taxis, rain , snow. Lots of walking. I even went sledding with it crossover.It gave me 6 months of fantastic use. Unfortunately the strap where it attach to bag need some improvement- it frayed there and broke. I tried other bags non are so light or so many practical pockets and the colour is lovely! I got navy.Definitely worth the money just the strap can do with a serious re-design

I previously bought one of these in black and wanted another in purple planning on taking it on holiday with me. The black one was completely as described with all the pockets mentioned & shown in the description, in the main part, a phone pocket, a document pocket, hidden zipper pocket at the back, a separate Zipper pocket and another pocket between it and the hidden zipper pocket as well as the main compartment itself. This one is missing both the extra zipper pocket and the larger document pocket. I have been searching for the perfect handbag for years and the black one came pretty close. This one is, well, less so.

Very useful bag and appears very well made. A very reasonable size and very roomy without being cumbersome. A good material and strong zip. Liked it so much, that I have ordered the same bag but in the larger size which will be useful for days out etc and when a little more space is needed for umbrellas or water bottles etc. Very useful side pockets for such things and plenty of zipped pockets of a good size. Really pleased

This is a great bag! It holds quite a bit for such a reasonably sized bag. Lots of pockets and it appears to be quite well made, with a strong nylon strap that I trust. Erm... To be honest, the symbol on the zipper charms struck me as a little.. problematic... they look a bit like a certain ww2 symbol to me (yes, *that* one) which I'm sure was unintentional on the part of the company! I replaced the zipper tags with some cute charms and it's now a contender for my favourite bag.

I've only used this bag for a week or so, and I've found that I've constantly had to adjust the length of the strap under the weight of an iPad, a 16 oz bottle of water, a small umbrella and notepad and my smartphone (reason why I got a bag with these dimensions in the first place). The metal loop that attaches the strap to the main bag itself seems to rotate and settle into the narrow end (see image), folding the strap. Will return it. Spending more on a higher quality bag would probably be wise.

This is a great bag - roomy compartments and well made, the zips are good and open easy.The only complaint for me was the smell. Left to air for 2 days, then had to wipe through all compartmentstwice which still left a vague smell which is finally fading. The bag was worth the hassle but this problem should be corrected.
