Leather Crossbody Bags for Women Sling Shoulder Purse Travel Handbag

Just ordered another Wise Owl Leather Crossbody Purse. It is fantastic. I already have one in Teal, Black and now Red. Beautifully made, plenty of pockets for all my things. The leather is soft and pliable. Very nicely made. They have many different colors available.

This bag is my favorite because of the look and feel of the material. The dark vintage color and worn-in like softness and contrast of the bulky antiqued bronze zippers... It just fits my vibe. There are two things I would change, though: - The strap is not like the rest of the material - it is stiff and thin and doesn't have the same vintage look - it is just a matte black strap. This really could be improved. Although the length is perfect for cross body wear, which is one of the things I love about it. - Offer a bigger size! This bag has limited space because of the stacked 3 pockets but that could be remedied by offering a larger size bag. I would absolutely buy a large size. Right now I can fit my wallet, keys, and phone. I wish I could stash my kid's epi-pen bag and travel-size safety kit inside it too. Right now I have to switch between this and a little leather backpack depending on if my school-aged kids are in tow or not.

I was pleasantly surprised at how great this bag was for the reasonable price. The color was perfect for me - not burgundy or orange-red, just a true rich Christmas red. The leather is soft and doesn't have a funny smell. I love the skinny strap, lots of pockets and fits my I phone. I will definitely purchase from this company in the future when I need another purse.

I received this purse well packaged and in new condition. I was hoping for a purse that would have a sturdy cross body strap, hold my 10" tablet and still not be oversized, and this meets those requirements. With the purse otherwise empty, a sheaf of 8-1/2" x 11" notebook paper fits and just barely allows the zipper to close; there is 1-1/2" width to spare. The seams and fasteners are all well placed, the leather is even texture and the color is even throughout The purse strap seems fairly solid, easily long enough and easy to adjust. The edge of the strap is raw cut leather and whatever the fill material is; previous purses have always had a folded and sewn edge. The strap is not stiff where it is a single layer, but more so where the length is doubled to the adjustment buckle. I imagine the raw edge may be irritating worn against the neck, particularly with any weight in it and for any prolonged use; I can only hope that that edge softens further with wear, flexing of the material. The zippers on the exterior pockets are large toothed metal, conspicuous and hopefully sturdy. The zipper on the inside pocket is plastic/nylon, and feels a bit cheap - luckily, there should be little strain on it. The inner zip pocket is on the side without exterior pockets. It was initially stuck at only 1/2" deep; apparently the fabric was tightly folded. I was dismayed until I managed to expand the pocket. That inner zipper is 6-1/4" wide/long, the pocket itself ~7" wide and 6-1/4" deep. The 2 inner pouch pockets on the opposite wall of the purse extend maybe 2/3 down inside; my mid sized cell phone fits and is rests deep enough to feel secure. One pocket is ~3" wide, the other is ~4-3/4" wide; they are both 5-1/4" deep. The top of the pocket is 2" below the zipper closure. The exterior pockets have no inside loops or pockets. I have not used this enough to get an idea on the color rubbing off, have not gotten it wet to see if it bleeds onto my clothing or the contents. I hope not, since wet is inevitable in the fall winter and spring of my local climate.

I have gotten three of these. They were ALL supposed to be Vintage Grey. The first was coffee and Amazon replaced it. The third I ordered for someone in another part of the US. My thinking was that another fulfillment center would actually send Vintage Grey. Wrong--some other shade of brown--Coffee, again? I contacted the seller after I received the replacement. Since I was unable to upload a photo they could do nothing. I even suggested they contact Amazon and try to send a supervisor to look at their product to determine the color. Finally gave up. The third was send to me by a friend and I will keep it. Workmanship is excellent, leather is beautiful even if the wrong color. It's worth the price. Just don't be too disappointed if you don't get the color you order. You can tell the color by looking at the fabric around the metal zipper. Grey is grey and brown is brown. This is my third purchase of a Wise Owl crossbody bag. The one I just received is Cognac Multiwax. The color is exactly what I wanted. The size is perfect for my needs. The leather is thick and soft. The zippers slide smoothly; the stitching is perfect. Everything I want to carry fits in this bag. I couldn't be happier. Going forward I will stick with Wise Owl products. I would have preferred to write a new review for the Cognac Multiwax product I just received however Amazon will only let me edit my previous review.

I have had this purse for about 3 weeks now, and absolutely LOVE it! I had this purse in my saved items for over two years and finally bought it! I'm so glad that I did! To be honest, when i first opened the packaging, and saw the cheap clear plastic it was wrapped in, and how shipping made it look smaller than it was, I was at first disappointed. However, once i opened it up and got it out of its compact shipping packaging,I was thrilled at its quality, look,and feel. The leather is soft and durable and the purse has many pockets for a smaller sized purse. The zippers are thick and tough, not small and flimsy like other purses ive had. It fits my new larger size wallet very well , with room to spare! I get compliments on it regularly. I purchased the grey color and it is s nice , darker, grey. I've gotten water on it a couple times, and even oil accidentally. I was worried it would ruin it,but it has bounced back each time so far ! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who likes the cross-body style purse :)

For the price paid, this bag is well-made and exceeded my expectations. The burgundy washed colour is rustic but pretty and would match any outfit. I am glad that I got the larger size out of the two options- it easily took in all the contents of my previous handbag but ended up quite snug inside. Highly recommended!

Just a beautiful comfortable handbag with plenty of storage compartments. Love it!

I absolutely LOVE this purse, the smell of real leather, the size is perfect, plenty of space and pockets, I just can't believe I finally have a crossbody purse that meets all of my needs. It's not quite 11 inches wide, it's 10 inches but that's what I was hoping for. Highly recommend this brand, in fact, I want to get another wise owl purse in olive. Can't wait! UPDATE: After having the purse for a while now, the only thing I would change is the handle. The handle is leather, but it looks like a different leather, it's thin and a bit stiff. I would have preferred a handle that matched the purse perfectly, it just seems like a generic leather handle that is coloured black. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE the purse and I'm glad I bought it. :)

Es la tercera bolsa que he comprado de WISE OWL. Son muy útiles y muy durables. El piel es de buena calidad y aun con mucho uso, no se ve desgastada. Esta compra fue del color "vintage gray" lavada. Se ve entre gris y café pero es muy bonita. Con la variedad de colores que ofrecen, comparé más.

A beautifully packed and presented, light-weight shoulder bag arrived today and I am really pleased with the look, the feel and the size of the compartments. I always prefer a casual style of cross-body bag (due to my sloped shoulders) and this bad delivers. If money was no issue I would order other colours as well. Maybe next year.
