Strong magnetic closure, Fun yet functional, Cute style with quality material

I fell in love with this purse right when I first saw it online and then I fell more in love when it finally arrived for me to see in person! Not only is this bag so cute, but it looks and feels solid with good quality materials. It can hold all these items together: sunglasses, iPhone, short wallet, car keys, pepper spray, & chapstick all with the magnetic closure closing! The inside is a mix of a soft suede material (behind calf hair sides) and leather. I actually ordered the larger version as well. While both are cute, I enjoy the smaller one much more. Important note: The larger size has lighter brown spots while the smaller size has darker brown spots. You can see this in the online pics too. However, both are equally as cute. The long strap takes some time for me to put on and off, but I don't mind as I bought the purse to wear without the long strap. The hooks are easy to open, but getting the hook in and out the hole is a bit hard.

Perfect size, great for everyday

The micro crossbody is the perfect size for paring down essentials for errands! I carry a cardholder, keys, a roller fragrance, mask and even a mini hand sanitizer spray. A really cute in-between as a neutral and a pop of texture. It honestly looks a little cheaper to me in person and after wearing for a few months the calf hair is beginning to rub off just from where it hangs while wearing. Wish the little spots weren't also wearing down! I'm petite (5') and the length of the strap is a teensy bit long but not a huge deal - it's my everyday bag right now :)

Great style, disappointing quality

I love everything about this bag, except it's one huge flaw. It's a great size and the spotted calf hair is super cute. The style is versatile with many of my outfits! Sadly, after only using it a few times the calf hair started rubbing off on the side of the purse that is up against my body when I carry it. Having continued to use it for several months now, I have a big white patch on one side where all of the calf hair has rubbed off. If you love the style, I'd recommend going with one of the all leather versions instead. I wish I had!
