Review on πŸ‘œ Water Resistant Shopper Women's Handbags & Wallets and Shoulder Bags – Spacious Shoulder Handbag Range by Smokeythecryptkeeper Kaewchay

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Downgraded twice. (Originally: Small size, fits a lot including my 1 liter water bottle!)

One more star. The problem of the zipper shifting, which causes pockets to open by themselves, was still annoying. In the end, the four outside pockets with zippers also annoyed me because I always guessed which of the four had what I was looking for. As a result, I stopped carrying a bag. The lining of one of those four bags began to tear - not surprisingly - it was a cheap bag. I'll still use it, probably as a light handbag to fold up when traveling, but damn those zippers. Downgraded my rating by 1 star. The misalignment of the zips on the 4 external pockets mentioned below causes these zips to unzip a lot - I often find myself rezipping them and it's annoying. I love the bag so much I'm considering removing and reinstalling the zippers myself. So far none of the zippers have failed, which is surprising considering how cheap they seem. The middle zipper even broke once due to overcrowding of the middle compartment and repaired itself. I also found that the side pockets stretched a bit. I carry my water bottle in one of these and although it's a decent 1 liter bottle it now slips out from time to time. --- Great bag! Very light, easy to fold - I wanted something with the features to easily slip into another bag when traveling and it fits perfectly. Also, being able to carry a 1 liter water bottle was a must for me, and my Camelback Chute and Nalgene easily fit in one of the four front and back pockets. They also fit in the side pockets (closer fit) but not with a loaded bag and in this position they tend to unbalance the bag. Looks good too - in black I think I can easily get away with this for a nice dinner - so it doubles as a holdall for me - foldable, day bag, night bag. Holds an amazing amount of stuff and is well organized - easily carries my usual load with free space, could probably fit a light layer in with a bit of shuffling. For me, this is better for storing my everyday stuff than the big bag I use. It is perfectly organized between two patch pockets and a small zippered pocket on the inside and 6 pockets on the outside. Two points of criticism. I doubt the durability of zippers - they look very cheap. I also wish the zippers on the four pockets were better placed - there is a significant gap at each of the closing ends, and the beginning of the zipper extends well over or into the pockets (see last photo). Well, it can't all be for $19. As long as the zippers don't break easily I won't have a problem buying this bag again. Some might also be interested in the fact that unfortunately she doesn't have a key leash. Also, the shoulder is quite slippery because of the nylon, but even for people like me with narrow shoulders that won't be a problem; the time will show.
