Review on 👜 ELDA Lightweight Crossbody Messenger Women's Handbags & Wallets: The Perfect Blend of Style and Function by Beth Henderson

I was looking for a holdall/bag for various essential items I need/need in case of an emergency evacuation (I live in a country with wildfires). I wasn't thrilled with the color choice (reason for 4 stars) but it had so many good reviews that I took a chance. The capacity of this bag is wonderful and it seems to magically expand when needed. I've added a stiffer side panel that seems to add some structure to the bag but is mainly meant to add pockets. But the sewn-in pockets are roomy. The outer fabric feels durable and attractive enough for my use. The interior is lined with a silky textured fabric. The workmanship is excellent, the zippers are smooth-running. I like the length and stiffness of the canvas handles; I am very happy with the canvas shoulder strap option.
