Review on Women's Lightweight Passport Messenger Shoulder Handbag & Wallet Combo - Crossbody Bags Perfect for Travel by Michelle Meyer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bigger than expected but not perfect

The bag itself was very good. It was more than I expected which is not good for me. As a mom of a 2 year old it's difficult to carry around a diaper bag, work bag and purse so I wanted something small enough to easily fit in a diaper bag or my work bag. I found the card slots in both sections large enough to fit 2 or 3 cards in each slot, but how far the wallet sections open was a bit of a problem for seeing and reaching the cards. I wear a size 8 ring so my hands are about average to compare to. My LG Premier Pro phone fits easily without a case, but with a toddler and work I need a case for security and it's not every time I take the case off and put it back on. It fits the slim body well, but getting in and out is too difficult to be comfortable. The plastic that allows me to use the phone feels a little flimsy when there's no phone around (personal preference), but when I had a phone around the touchscreen worked. I'm a plus size woman with large breasts so I found the full body strap a bit short for my preference for shoulder bags but overall it was long enough to use, the wrist strap is a nice feature too. short but functional. The leather material of the strap and the bag is of good quality, the stitching is neat and also externally I appreciate that the bag has no big logo or any decorations, simple and clean. The gold hardware has a nice even tone and doesn't look cheap, it breaks easily when interchangeable straps are used, and both straps can be attached at the same time. The small front pocket is very convenient for storing small cosmetics (lipstick, money and coins). I planned on storing my keys in this area as there is no dedicated external loop to hook them to as the pocket is too small for my key fob. I ended up attaching them to the strap with a carabiner to avoid cluttering the purse, but this puts extra weight on the straps and I'm not sure how they will hold up. Overall I would give the bag 4.5 stars out of 5 but you can't even give half a star. Nice bag, not perfect for what I was looking for but functional and better than a full sized bag. Pros: The phone can be used if your phone is small enough. Multiple pockets to keep things organized. Built-in card slots. Bag Long and short strap included No huge brand logo all over the bag Cons: Large phones are used at your own risk as they are difficult to get in and out No "small" bag In my opinion, long strap and wrist strap are a little bit short No outer area for holding keys. Zippered compartments don't open very far

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions
