Rich, Chocolate Leather Fold-over Cross Body Tote
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2019
Update: Love this foldover crossbody tote so much I found another in Saddle for half-price! Can use the Saddle for Spring-Summer and the Chocolate from Fall to Winter!What struck me first when opening the box was the rich, chocolate leather! The design is eye-catching with the fold-over top. I graduated from my 8x9x6 Piel Messenger bag, needing something a bit bigger. As I get older, the more health and medical items I need to carry. The smaller messenger bag just wasn't working anymore.The two front pockets are narrow depth, but just big enough for a few smartphones, narrow wallet (I bought the Piel Leather mid-range Passport Wallet in Apple to fit in the front pocket). The third pocket has a one inch depth, where I put a small umbrella and sunglasses. On the back side is another narrow pocket for paper, misc items and so on. Inside the bag, the bottom is 15 inches by six, the depth narrowing up nine inches towards the fold. The fold is another eight inches, so technically, you could use the full 15 by 17 inches. The strap brings the tote to your midsection, around your hip.Inside, I fit another small Piel Leather bag, a canvas and leather one I bought (on Amazon), 7x6 inches for daily items-charger cords and so on, another small bag that carries emergency health care items. I've ordered the above passport wallet, an apple green ladies wristlet to carry diabetic supplies and a green coin carrier with slot for DL/Buss Pass/Credit Card (I trade off with other small, thin wallets). The tote an also hold a huge metal water bottle (bought on Amazon as well) and a coffee/tea traveler. I can also fit an ereader inside.

Took this one with me as a "carry-on" for a month in Europe. Great for travel.
