Leather Wallet or Crossbody Bag, Malabar

I love this bag. It is the right size and weight and the leather soft yet durable. Its two zippered compartments help with organization, as well as the magnetic closure between them where I can store an easy-to-grab mask. The outside closing strap with magnetic closure is attractive and functional. You doubled the strap which makes for a secure shoulder bag at just the right length for me.

This is a great basic bag. The leather is sturdy and butter-soft, strap, zippers, connectors are well constructed and feel like they will stand up to years of daily use. The softness of the strap/body makes it comfortable to wear crossbody. Design is very clever — the center phone section is roomy and easy access while the magnetic strap across the top of the purse discreetly hides the existence of this compartment and keeps your phone secure. Plenty of room in the zippered compartments for essentials — wallet, passport holder/tickets, pens, headphones, cables/portable chargers, small notebook, makeup/comb, granola bar. Zipper sections are just a little too short to let you slip in a beach-read. you’ll need a bigger bag if you want to carry bulkier items like an iPad, water bottle, umbrella :), but this is a great compact crossbody bag for daily running about.

So far it has been a good experience. My only complaint is that I had to downsize the number of items I would normally keep in my purse, which means I wish it was larger. However, very satisfied with the quality and style.
