Review on Stylish and Versatile: Lug Samba Cross Body Bag – The Perfect Companion for On-the-Go by Mary Hunt

This bag is a smaller version of the Lug Gallop but not as functional. Does not include flannel-lined glasses case, keychain/keychain. The flannel lined phone pocket is not deep enough to put a phone straight in, so it needs to be inserted into the pocket with its longest length parallel to the bottom of the pocket. At the same time, the pocket is deep and the cell phone has to be fished out, I have a Samsung 8+ and it's stuck. So it's not just for your phone. The main compartment top zip would have been better if it was an extra long zip to give you a better view of the contents of the bag. The elastic pocket in the main part is large and deep, so something has to be fished out. It would probably be better to make a slit pocket out of it, maybe lined with flannel. The rear zip pocket fits a Samsung tablet or iPad, both with cases. The gray color is beautiful, darker than in the photo. The double braces are a nice addition. They will do the job, but not as well as I had hoped, especially at this price point.
