Small and Versatile
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2016
I've had the brown bag since July and it is holding up great. Mine doesn't quite match the brown on the website (in a good way) it's a muted, faded color. It has one zippered compartment on the front of the outer flap, one on the back of the purse and one inside-3 in all. There are 3 open topped pockets- 2 on the inside and one under the flap. The outer flap is held closed by Velcro. The strap is attached securely and is fully adjustable. I wear it cross body, but sometimes shorten it up enough to wear as a hip pack when we are taking a long walk. The best feature is it's expandable using a zipper around the perimeter which about doubles the volume. I bought the green bag a few months ago and personally I like the brown color much better. The design and durability of both colors are 5 stars, though. See pic of the two bags side by side for color comparison.Sent via wireless device

Very cool little canvas bag. It does hold more then you think. I got the army green and its great looking. Love this bag.
Compact travel bag for mom of 5- spot on! Great bag in a little package.

I have a problem. I go through bags frequently. I just like the change, and there's always a new one that I like more than previous ones. While I was hunting for a small but versatile bag for an upcoming Disney World vacation, I had narrowed my options down to this Berchirly bag and another similarly sized/designed bag of another brand. I wasn't sure if the bag would be too small, so I ordered it knowing I could easily exchange it for the other bag if needed.For this vacation we wanted to drastically simplify what we carried into the parks, but as a mom of 5, I still needed enough room for a diaper or two (size 3 in particular, for size reference) and a small pack of wipes, as well as a thin wallet (thinner than my everyday wallet, purchased particular for this reason), my cell phone, a small camera (the one used in the picture is just one I found, but I will be taking a slightly larger Canon Powershot), a pen, chapstick, and maybe a granola bar or some small snacks for the kids. At first I wasn't sure if this Berchirly bag would work, because while the small size is very desirable, the design of the bag is such that it gets slightly narrower at the opening, so while it is wider within the body and on the bottom of the bag, the tighter opening made me wonder if I'd be able to fit what I needed inside.I'm happy to report that I did a "trial packing" of the bag and everything fits with room and pockets to spare! I love the compact size but still having enough pockets to customize the storage. There is a zippered pocket along the back, along the front flap, and along the back inside the body of the back. Also inside, along the front, are two open pouches. I've added a picture of the depth of those pouch style pockets, as they aren't deep enough to store a pen, for example, but they would be perfect for chapstick or something closer to that height. The body size can be expanded with a zipper for a little more space inside.The canvas is very sturdy. I was so impressed with the quality of the bag for the price I paid! It looks easy to keep clean and it just feels like a good, solid bag. It carries nicely and is small enough to stay close to my body without flopping against me while I walk like some messenger/crossbody style bags can do. I also love the neutral colors, they are timeless!I highly recommend this bag for anyone wanting a small but versatile option, for everyday use or for travel. You can't beat this one, at this price!**Apologies for the pictures being oriented wrong! I made several attempts to fix them, to no avail...
Great LITTLE bag!!

Love this little bag. It is very little but it's exactly what I wanted. I take it to the gym as a mini gym bag to carry my workout gloves, locker lock and ankle straps. Everything fits perfectly! At first I didn't realize the bottom expands by unzipping - but when I figured that out, it makes it the exact right size. It also has several handy pockets - 3 zipper pockets (one outside front, one outside back, one inside) and one open pocket right under the flap, and another two small organizational pockets inside.
Form, function, and price meet!

The quality of this small bag is simply amazing, it presents like one much more expensive, several times over. The color is a rich brown and the crafting of the canvas is such that it almost reads like suede or leather. Quite handsome, for women and men. I am 5â 7â and the shoulder strap was ample, such that I can readily wear it as a cross body bag or just over my shoulder. I fit my wallet, a large sunglass case, my cell phone, car keys, gloves, tissues, chapstick, small Sony Cybershot camera, and protein bar inside, with room to spare. There are outside pockets and divided pockets inside, with the ability to unzip and expand the outside to make it larger. A paperback book would fit as well as a 16 oz water bottle (you would just have to prioritize what you needed most for your trip that day). Lightweight and quite comfortable. The size is more of a medium in my mind and has a good proportionality with your body, looks substantial, but neither a regular sized purse nor a tiny one. When I get a chance I will post a pic with it cross body (hint- something the seller should do) so you can see the size and how well it fits.This is a powerhouse of a little bag, attractive, well made, reasonably priced and a cool way to carry your stuff. I like the Velcro front clasp for security reasons as I prefer wearing it cross body, slung behind me, and it would not be possible for someone to open it without your knowing. Am going to now purchase the larger bag in the same color for when I want to take along my iPad.
PERFECT!

LOVE this bag! Nice olive color for fall. Strap is easily adjusted for crossbody or shoulder. Fabric and strap are strong material and the purse is sewn well. Front pocket with zipper is perfect to easily access a phone or wallet. Inside pockets are handy for holding business cards, chapstick, keys....any of those little things that usually fall to the bottom. Main body of the purse expands with a zipper, and I easily fit an 8" tablet, notepad, glassses and lotion inside. This is a perfect purse for anyone who likes a smaller, organized, bag.
