Review on KAVU Womens Rope Sling Purple Women's Handbags & Wallets and Crossbody Bags by Nicholas Erickson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great bag but color is distorted

This is already the third Kavu bag I've bought and although I really like the size and the comfort factor (and the same goes for my other two small Kavu -bags), I have I will probably return it. The main reason is that the color of the bag I bought based on the "Trail Marker" pattern was not accurately represented in the photos. Although the description of the bag looks like it's a light khaki, it's actually a darker brown with an almost olive hue. I'm not sure if it's because the fabric is polyester and not cotton (which I really like since it's "waterproof"), but I was definitely a little disappointed to see such a dramatic color difference , so she lost a star. in my rating. But the rest of the bag made me very happy! The size was large and I lay comfortably on my back. My Samsung Galaxy S6 phone is too big to fit in the top front pocket, but it fits perfectly in the front zip pocket. I also like the double compartments - the largest is on the left and has its own inner pocket, the smaller on the right. This is enough space for all your belongings to have your own room and keep things separate if needed. I didn't think I'd like the "rope" harness as I doubted it would be comfortable, but it's actually good. And like I said, I liked the polyester material. It seems to clean up well after a spill and will keep your stuff dry in light rain which is a big plus. At the moment I have ordered a cotton version of this bag with a different print ("Range"), I hope it matches the picture better than this print. Overall, Kavu makes great bags, but this particular bag just isn't for me.

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • There are problems
