Review on 👜 Versatile and Stylish JOSEKO Crossbody Handbags & Wallets: Functional Women's Shoulder Messenger Bags by Brittany Archuleta

This review was written by my wife: I had a small black canvas bag that I used when my regular handbag was too big. When the old bag started to fall apart, my search for a replacement began. I wanted something small with lots of compartments. This Joseko women's shoulder bag has many pockets but is not much smaller than my usual handbag. I thought it might suit my needs. When I received the wallet, all four metal zippers had a large pull tab/slider in the middle of the zipper and the zipper teeth were split on either side of the slider. My first thought was that the zippers were broken, but all I had to do was press the pull tab/puller against one end of the zipper and then pull to the other end to get the zippers to open and close properly. The three nylon zippers were fully closed when I received the wallet. This wallet has four main compartments. The front lower external zippered pocket is easy to use and great for quick access to my keys. The front top pocket has Velcro on an external flap covering a metal zipper. There are three slots of different sizes in this compartment for you to put things. The middle slot is perfect for my lip balm, the thinner slot fits a pen, but the pocket is about two inches shorter. This top bag also has an inner pocket with a nylon zip pull about halfway down the front of the bag. Because the outer metal zipper only opens the top half of this top pocket, it is very difficult to get to the inner zipper. I can't imagine what I would put in there because I don't want to struggle to get something out of my inside pocket. While this top front compartment seems secure enough, the awkwardness makes it impractical. At least I know it's going to be very difficult for someone to steal my lip balm and gum. In the main pocket I have glasses, a phone and a hairbrush, as well as a large wallet. You can easily fit twice as many things in it. This compartment has a fairly roomy zippered pocket that is fairly easy to get into. The back pocket is also quite roomy and also has an inside zip pocket. The strap is made of thin slippery webbing. On the one hand it is sewn to the handbag, on the other hand it is attached to a rectangular metal ring. A thin strap was bent several times in a metal ring and the ring rotated ninety degrees, tightening the strap and the loop of cloth attached to the bag. The length of the strap is easy to adjust and the shoulder pad has no padding or anything to attach it to the strap. Because the pad is wider than the strap, it helps spread the weight a bit, but it's not rubberized so it constantly slides off my shoulder when the strap is over my shoulder and not across my body. I will keep this bag because it's functional and I hate the thought of looking for another wallet. However, the clunky top pocket and slippery strap are clear downsides.
