Review on Compact Crossbody Phone Purse For Women With Credit Card Slots - Small Messenger Handbag Wallet by Harry Ashcraft

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Would work for some, but too many design flaws for me

This purse has the potential to be really great. It is sleek & attractive & comes in many colors. It can be used as crossbody or on the wrist (small strap included). It will hold quite a lot of items. It could be perfect to use for visiting theme park/zoo/sports stadium, etc., where weight & bag size needs to be smaller. However, it did not work out for my own needs, which was mainly for travel. If you have an iPhone with a thicker case (Otter box, etc) it will barely fit, but it’s fairly tight to get in & out easily or without straining the zippers. Add in a pop socket & it’s definitely not enough room. Also, the slots for credit cards need to be 1/4 inch wider. Again, the fit is too tight to access those items easily, esp in a hurry. In addition, the placement where the strap attaches blocks easy access to the main section of the purse; a design flaw. The purse certainly won’t hold a car key fob without removing that completely from your key ring. Despite having lots of compartments and having potential for being a versatile bag, it still doesn’t hold enough items (or make it easy to access them) for my travel needs. Overall, it’s not a bad product (if you don’t need much) but doesn’t work for me. In the end, I had to shop at an in-person store to see/test purses in person to end up with the right-sized travel purse.

Pros
  • Works good but one of the straps broke off and had to sew it back on again
Cons
  • The purse may lose its shape over time
