Review on Kipling Cross Body Bag Black Noir Women's Handbags & Wallets by Chris Ferguson

This is my third Kipling Alvar bag. I originally bought one at a flea market and really liked the organizational features. There are zip pockets for all my stuff while the wallet is not big and light. I put my checkbook and pen in an outside pocket, coupons and notepaper in a shorter outside pocket, makeup bag and cell phone in a top zip pocket, wallet and keys in another top zip pocket, and another outside pocket not used. As an older person, it's nice to have things exactly where I know they will be and not let everything else fall out while you're fumbling for your wallet! I also like the strap as it is wide enough to not slip or fall off the shoulder when used as a crossbody bag. I rarely use it as a crossbody bag, but it certainly does its job and adjusts the strap with ease. So I bought one with a pastel butterfly pattern that my granddaughter uses now and then this new one for me. Color - a real berry, dark pink with a blue tint. .perfect color for my summer wardrobe. I'm still using my original silver gray but would like a different color for winter. (PS, the gorilla keychain had to be tucked away in a dresser drawer in favor of my own, slightly smaller, keychain.)
