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.
