Love it.
Great Quality.
Comfortable Design.
I love this bag. Its design is well thought out. It’s seems like they heard me when I said out loud “I want leather, no lining, a pocket for my phone & I don’t want it falling off of my shoulder when I bend down to pick something up…” This bag has just enough room for my wallet, lipstick, eyeglasses in their soft case & a tiny moleskine soft cover notebook. I’m so happy with it as far as design.
It’s a throw on and go while looking great. Sometimes the zipper does not close and open smoothly, but I think it’s just the crescent shape that makes that inevitable. I don’t mind it, just something I noticed.
I ordered the brown leather & when I pulled it out of the package, I noticed two tiny black dots on opposite sides of the front of the bag. Very noticeable. It looked as if someone had a fine tip sharpie and added a final touch before sending it to me. It really bothered my “I need things to make sense” personality, but I didn’t want to make a huge deal of it by complaining. I decided to attempt to remove the dots myself with a high end leather cleaner I had. I didn’t make it better. I still love my bag, oh well…. It’s my own fault messing it up a little trying to remove the black dots.
I would like to put the olive green sling xl on my birthday wish list coming up. It looks like a gorgeous color that could still work as a neutral.
I love my XL sling bag. It’s just the right size for a small wallet, keys, lipstick, comb. Perfect!
Not that WP Standard explicitly said that the *inner* dimensions of the main compartment were 16” x 9” x 2”, but that was the assumption I made, because “main compartment” makes it sound like “when other pockets and the strap are ignored.”
The inner dimensions are really closer to 11”x8”x2”.
The strap measurement listed “adjustable from 33”-52”” seems like it would only be talking about the length of the strap itself—but includes the width of the main compartment.
I was expecting something much larger, with a much longer strap, which could be worn as a crossbody shoulder bag that would be at my hip. With the strap buckle set in the last belt hole, it’s closer to 50” including the main compartment’s width (the 52” is to the very end of the strap, which is a useless measurement because obviously there are no holes there).
I’m 5’11” and generally wear a size L in women’s tops or M in men’s tops, and if I wear this slung to the back—the bag sits at a comfortable height, about 2/3rds of the way down my back.
The quality seems quite nice, and I’m sure if I decide to keep it, it would hold up well, and the leather (I got the tan) would develop a really attractive patina from wear.
I’m still deciding whether I’ll keep it or not though, since the overall size of this bag is super disappointing. I can’t even imagine how tiny the regular sized sling bag must look on anyone my size, and how it probably doesn’t even fit the larger varieties of cellphones!
Anyhow, 3 stars bc the materials are nice, and the bag seems well made. I’d have been happy if I hadn’t been expecting something large enough to hold a daytime outing’s worth of stuff: say, a water bottle, wallet, phone, keys, tablet, pen and paper, a power bank, charging cord, sunglasses, etc. Realistically, it would hold the essentials (wallet, phone, keys) + a large handful of small items, or a few smedium items.
Love it!
