Review on Canvas Small Messenger Bag for Men - Casual Shoulder Chest Bag for Travel, Multi-pocket Purse by Katrina Brown

Short version: Fits almost everything from my old wallet. Definitely looks more masculine than a regular wallet. Mild fragrance when you bring your face close to it. The quality seems VERY high, the fabric seems dense and durable. The zippers are smooth and have a hearty feel. For $13, while not as durable as it looks, I'd say it's a good buy. Full version: Wow! just wow. Please see all my photos. I was able to fit and zip/button the following: keys, 3 pill bottles (1cm supplement bottle + 2 prescription bottles), travel utensils, 3 (2lbs and 1cm) collapsible reusable grocery bags, coupler. / Purse (stuffed with more than 20 cards, 2 loose spare keys and a checkbook without holder), Apple headphones, Apple Lightning charging cable, 2 lip balm sticks, 2 pencils, 2 markers, 7 pens, small comb, 4 swabs, small notepad for notes, Cased paring knife, nail clippers, dental floss, 3 cards (debit/credit). I might have forgotten a few more things, but I think that's it. The fabric feels like thick, heavy-duty canvas, although there are some abrasions on the inside near where the strap meets the rest of the material. I'm not worried about that as otherwise it seems very durable and well made. The zippers are smooth and feel sturdy. The front button is connected to a piece of leather(?) that feels and looks loose, but is actually intentionally sewn to be loose in the center and pinned at the outer edges. The inside of the purse (I call it a purse because I'm a girl and I use it as a bag, although it's definitely a more masculine bag) is made of a similar material that I really like. I think almost every women's handbag I've seen uses any fabric on the outside and a thinner, tear-resistant nylon/cloth material on the inside. I don't see myself hacking through this stuff anytime soon, but this is only day one so only time will tell. The strap, fully stretched, is long enough even for me (I'm fat) to wear over my shoulder but doesn't sag too much. The fabric of the strap is also the same throughout and isn't particularly comfortable on bare skin, but is wide enough to distribute the weight of the bag in a way that makes it feel lighter. It's actually a little surprising that the wallet has almost everything that was in my old purse (all the essentials of course) and yet feels a lot lighter. Oh yeah, let me tell you about the awesome tote bags. Seriously, this thing is great. In my old purse, I tipped everything into the main compartment (?) and it floated. Then there were 3 smaller outer pockets and 2 larger outer pockets. I was constantly wasting time looking for my keys because I usually threw them in a big compartment and they got lost. Inside is (!) a small key loop to which I can attach my keys. Despite everything I put in this handbag, I still have 1 small mesh pocket that is completely unused. If we talk about bags, then on the one hand a simple bag with a flap on a button, and on the other hand a small miracle. It is a zipped "pocket" (opens the entire front) that closes with side zips and a button flap (which ALSO has a pocket), and there is a large mesh pocket on the front (see other side mesh pocket on the bag on the larger bag Not even jokingly did I try to capture it in pictures to show where everything I had was stuffed in. It was a slight odor for super sensitive noses but I personally didn't smell it until I mine put my face in to smell it ok not literally in the purse but right on the fabric i don't think this is a scam because i don't notice it at all from afar but some can as it would be unfair if i wouldn't say anything negative about it, if I did I would have liked to say a bit more Technically it has everything I need but some of them are barely sworn in The pill bottle The button in the front mesh pocket doesn't close easily and I have to pull it a little harder. Regardless, at $13 it still feels like a steal. I mean seriously, I wanted to fork out at least $20-$30 for a boring single compartment women's handbag with fake zippers and buckles on the outside. I understand that this is nothing in the women's handbag world, but I care more about the practicality and it seems so wonderful. I'm so pleased and can't recommend it enough (as of day 1) if you're on a tighter budget and don't care about the looks.
