Scarleton Crossbody Bags for Women Purses and Handbags Multi Pocket Shoulder Bag Faux Leather Small, H1833

Bought my first Scarleton handbag in February 2016. I still have the first, and second. My last move - I lost three. This crossbody bag carries everything I need while out and about. I had the small version, but it was one that got lost in my last and final move. So I opted for the medium size to replace, again in burgundy. Same quality; soft faux leather, zippers work as expected, niice color, and strap is just the right length/adjustable.. Enough room to hold my kindle fire, flip phone, three pairs of glasses, lip gloss, keys, small notebook, pens, gloves, neck warmer/gaiter, small wallet, and a few odds and ends.When looking for a new bag, I always go to the Scarleton brand first. They have some nice designs and hold up well.

I LOVE this bag. I am a mom of 3 but I like to travel light. My youngest (10 months) is getting older and I was tired of carrying a big bag that would inevitably get bogged down with kid things.I use this as an everyday bag, but we live in Europe at the moment and I also use it when we are traveling, which is frequent. I wanted something that could carry a water bottle and kid snacks while also wearing my baby in a back carrier. My husband wears my older daughter on his back, so no one is available to wear a backpack.We went to Paris yesterday and found my favorite feature - passports, 4 in my case, will fit in the front square pocket, instead of taking up precious inside bag space.My day to day items in this bag are: diaper and wipes, keys, cash (Euro in one pocket, US in another - I need both), pens, tide to go, iPhone 6s, water bottle, a few kid thing (snacks/toys).It can fit two water bottles, or a larger bottle, but then it feels a bit heavy to me. If we are going to be out all day I bring a big bottle knowing it will get lighter as everyone drinks from it. Also, if we are out for the day, my husband carries a few extra diapers in his pocket.It should be noted in all this that I do not carry a wallet, I keep cash in the front two pockets and I use a iPhone wallet case on my 6s. I've always done this, not as a result of this bag, and I highly recommend it if you also like travel on the lighter side. The 6S fits perfectly on its side in the back pocket. All pockets can easily be zippered with what I keep in it.I also go to a book group and it will fit a normal sized novel.I am 5'4" and I do open the strap with only a few inches to spare for it to hit my hip as a crossbody. The material and color of this bag is great as well. As other reviews noted when I was making my decision, it is very soft and does not stand up. This was exactly the type of bag I was looking for, I got this to replace another bag with synthetic leather that was slightly stiffer and it cracked and looked pretty unappealing.I attached some photos to show some of what I've described, including the passports.I really love this bag - the style, the color, the comfort, the price - it was exactly what I was looking for!Edited July 11, 2017: Still love it!

I've previously purchased two other purses by this brand, and loved them both. The material on those was very soft and really looked like leather, but this one is not quite the same. The fabric is not as soft and not as realistic looking. It is still nice, but I was hoping for the same type of fabric as the other two purses. The size was represented accurately. I would have preferred it slightly shorter, but could not find any purses in the exact size I wanted. I would have loved to have found a duplicate of one of the previous bags but unfortunately those are no longer available. That said, this is a decent purse and has plenty of pockets. It seems well made, and will be functional. I'm keeping it but I'm still looking for another slightly smaller purse to better suit my needs.

Perfect bag for the organized woman. The zippered top opens the inside enough for me to carry my Kindle, eyeglass case, thin wallet (standing on it's end) and a small change purse. The snap pocket on the front is not big enough for a smart phone so I use it to carry my lotion and lip balm. The zippered compartment on the back carries my smart phone. It's not a big or deep space, so my phone lays on its side. The other three zippered pockets on the front can carry house keys, candy, or other purse items you just have to have. It stays well on the shoulder or carries easily as a cross body bag. The material is quality leather and feels soft and looks great. It does not have a supported bottom so it will not sit upright. Hang it on the back of a chair or rest it on your lap. Don't put it on the floor because you don't want to transfer any dirt to your table or sofa or bed or wherever you keep your purse. I keep mine hanging on a hook in my closet because I don't need it unless I'm going out.This purse is NOT for the hoarder nor for those who keep a cluttered bag. This purse is big enough only for the essential items. I've cut out the two open pockets on the inside which gives a little more room. The long leather straps on each zipper provide a great zipper pull. The purse is attractive and very comfortable and easy to use. I like it a lot because it fits my needs. I hope this helps.
