Great Lightweight Crossbody - Fits Passports!
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2016
I LOVE this bag. I am a mom of 3 but I like to travel light. My youngest (10 months) is getting older and I was tired of carrying a big bag that would inevitably get bogged down with kid things.I use this as an everyday bag, but we live in Europe at the moment and I also use it when we are traveling, which is frequent. I wanted something that could carry a water bottle and kid snacks while also wearing my baby in a back carrier. My husband wears my older daughter on his back, so no one is available to wear a backpack.We went to Paris yesterday and found my favorite feature - passports, 4 in my case, will fit in the front square pocket, instead of taking up precious inside bag space.My day to day items in this bag are: diaper and wipes, keys, cash (Euro in one pocket, US in another - I need both), pens, tide to go, iPhone 6s, water bottle, a few kid thing (snacks/toys).It can fit two water bottles, or a larger bottle, but then it feels a bit heavy to me. If we are going to be out all day I bring a big bottle knowing it will get lighter as everyone drinks from it. Also, if we are out for the day, my husband carries a few extra diapers in his pocket.It should be noted in all this that I do not carry a wallet, I keep cash in the front two pockets and I use a iPhone wallet case on my 6s. I've always done this, not as a result of this bag, and I highly recommend it if you also like travel on the lighter side. The 6S fits perfectly on its side in the back pocket. All pockets can easily be zippered with what I keep in it.I also go to a book group and it will fit a normal sized novel.I am 5'4" and I do open the strap with only a few inches to spare for it to hit my hip as a crossbody. The material and color of this bag is great as well. As other reviews noted when I was making my decision, it is very soft and does not stand up. This was exactly the type of bag I was looking for, I got this to replace another bag with synthetic leather that was slightly stiffer and it cracked and looked pretty unappealing.I attached some photos to show some of what I've described, including the passports.I really love this bag - the style, the color, the comfort, the price - it was exactly what I was looking for!Edited July 11, 2017: Still love it!
Soft, strong, and universal.

This purse is just what I was looking for! I love all the pockets and storage and the organization that this purse provides without looking so huge. I love the feel and the color is perfect and neutral enough for my clothing. I like the lining and I can tell this material inside is very strong compared to previous purses I have had in the past which were so very thin compared to this. I really like the look, feel, quality, and price of this purse. I got the look I want for a great price
Perfect

This is just the perfect bag.The details are very nice.It is not small and not big either.I had a video review here before but I had to erase it since the video didn't show the bag's quality so I am starting all over again.I have this bag for a long time now so I know that it is sturdy.I was able to fit a lot of things inside and it still not bulky.It has a lot of pockets.It looks very stylish.You can get them in a lot of different colors but I am always choosing black.Since I love that color.It is perfect for travelling, the parks, outings, you name it.The strap is adjustable. Hangs on our hips just right.The material is very soft.In other words. I love it since it is perfect.
Color doesn't last

Within a month there is lots of color that has been rubbed off from regular use. I use the bag 4 times a week for a few hours a day and structurally it has held up, keep in mind it has only been a month, but the color fading/ rub off makes it look very cheap!
Perfect, exactly what I expected!

I bought this bag in the dark brown color "coffee" and I absolutely love it. I was torn between the black, dark brown, and light brown and many of the reviews only had photos of the light brown and black so I took a risk. It's gorgeous, sturdy, and the perfect size. It holds my 4.5x8 inch wallet easily with plenty of room for more things. Could easily hold a standard disposable water bottle. The strap is the perfect length.
wears off after two uses

I loved this bag. But the color wears off after two wears. Literally had the pause for two weeks and it looks like I've had it for 10 years.I read in the reviews but figured I give it a try still. Save your money, unless you only want to use it once.

Perfect size for me, as I'm not someone who likes a big bag. The leather is very soft and feels like really good quality compared to other purses I've had. There are lots of pockets, which is very nice; all the zippers seem to work well. The "phone pocket" does not fit my iPhone 5, but that's okay.The only problem I have with it is that the strap is not really long enough to do the "cross body". It works well enough to sit normally, but I guess my back is too long for it to look okay when I have it cross body. I'm 5 '8.

I LOVED this bag, everything about it. After a long search I purchased this one as it seemed to have everything I was looking for. I used it for July and August and by the end of it a large amount of color had worn off of it, I would say about 40% the color had come off. It was simply normal day use for two months and I was left with a perfect purse that looked mangled in appearance. Such a shame because everything else about it was great!

Much smaller than it appeared in the pictures, and I am not quite sure what phone they expect to fit in the front, perhaps one from five years ago, certainly not any of the new ones, pocket is way too small. Other issue was the inner lining did not go all the way to the bottom of the purse making the inside even smaller. Colour was nice and the feel of the faux leather was nice but overall just not what I was needing.

A bit disappointedBag was smaller then expectedColour was not what i was expecting as wellHad it a few days and a rip alreadyPhone pocket doesn't fit either my husband phones or mine.All that does is an old iPodI do like having all the pocket however some are smaller then it seems.For the cash it isn't a bad purse however for my situation the first one we ordered never arrived before holidays so my husband re ordered to the first address we were going too and the price was the same but the shipping went for $10 to $65.Purse is definitely not worth $90

I bought this for our New Zealand vacation... I used if months prior to and thought it was good but let me tell you on vacation it was AMAZING. I used it for the airports and let me tel you going to New Zealand is lots of airports and planes. It fit sooooo many things in it, so much room. Can also unzip the back to have it sit on your suitcase. I get compliments on it. the airline people that designed this bag did such an amazing job
