Beautiful bag with many pockets

A very beautiful bag, I wear it mostly every day because I like the pattern. It has a lot of very useful pockets and I like the crossbody style as it doesn't fall off the shoulders all the time. Seems to be very well constructed/tailored. The only problem might be that since it is a fabric it can easily pick up dirt and stains, especially liquids. So I have to be careful when I put it somewhere. Putting it on the floor is practically out of the question as it gets dirty too quickly and if the floor is wet it will get wet. There are three zipped compartments - the main compartment with two compartments per size and another zipped compartment; and two smaller zippers in front. There is an additional slim pocket on the back of the bag which I find very handy for a phone or water bottle. The "middle" front pocket with zip also has two inner pockets and one main pocket. So there are plenty of pockets/pockets with and without zips for all sorts of things. The bag is well padded so that everything in the bag is reasonably well protected. This means the wallet isn't as light as one might expect, but it does offer added content protection. However, I have found that when I really load the handbag, the 1 inch strap can dig into my shoulder a bit. Most of the time it's not that bad, but it can be uncomfortable if I'm dragging myself along. many things for a long time. It's not the lightest bag I own, but it's lighter than my leather bags and it has a great tropical print that I just love. There is a matching print on the inside of the bag so the bag is really pretty. I just wish she didn't pick up dirt so easily. This fact makes me hesitant to put it under the seat on the plane just because the fabric can get dirty quickly, and who knows what junk lives under the seat on a plane in front of you? I've solved this problem by stuffing a plastic grocery bag in my purse, and when I need to store it in a questionable location, I simply stuff the bag into the grocery bag before discarding it to protect the fabric from unknown dirt and to protect moisture. ion, but it works.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • There is nothing here
