It has a gorilla By C. Morris
It has pockets for everything.
It's water resistant.
It always gravitates to the right spot on your body.
It doesn't do that annoying thing some bags do where the straps slowly loosen over time.
You can put the thumb of the gorilla in its mouth.
An all-around great bag. I NEVER thought I'd spend so much for a bag. I had the same one from 17-26 before getting this one. I figured I should get something without little bats and skulls if I want to pretend I'm an adult. This is professional enough for going to interviews (maybe without the gorilla) but not so stuffy that I feel like a total tool wearing it.Versatile and Lightweight. I love this bag! By W. S.
This bag is perfect for day-to-day use. I personally do not think this is a "small" bag at all. To me it seems enormous, but I'm used to the tiny Kipling Alvar XS cross-body bag (and I'm petite). You can get a LOT of stuff in this bag and best of all, it's VERY light weight and comfy. This is important to me because I have had a back injury so big heavy messenger bags/purses won't work for me. The fabric is lightweight, sturdy and water-resistant but it still looks good and the quality of the zippers are amazing. I want one in every shade!
The main area is divided into two very roomy main compartments, each of which has its own zipper access at the top of the bag. One one side there is a small zippered pocket and a cord with a key clip (you can clip wallet, accessories or keys here!)
on the other side, there is a larger pocket big enough for a smart-phone and small wallet or other electronic device/camera, etc. and then a smaller pocket for small items and two pen-sleeves. Each side has PLENTY of room for stuff and I love the division because you can carry daily items on one side and leave the other side for papers, journal or small spiral notebook, sketch pad and pencils or an iPad. I had room for my daily items, phone, wallet, a small notebook, kindle with cover, and Water bottle just in the main compartments! There's two more zippered compartments on the front of the bag so it's easy to keep things organized and easy to find. I store hand sanitizer, lip-balm, tissues, small pencils, note-pad, mirror, etc. in these pouches.
PROS:
* Lots of pockets and organization
* pen sleeves
* key clip
* tons of room
* lightweight
* water-resistant
* sturdy, cleanable,well constructed/great zippers!
* sleek design! (don't over-stuff to keep the flat profile)
* MONKEY key ring! (Who doesn't love monkeys? - If you don't, you can take it off)
* wide, comfortable strap that adjusts to wear cross-body or on your shoulder
CONS:
* Although I find it perfect, the size might be too big to be "small" and too small to be big to people who carry luggage sized purses
* Two access points to the main compartments side by side on top makes it confusing and you have to get used to which side contains which items.GREAT Everyday Bag for Those Who Prefer Medium to Small Purses By Carrie
I have this Kipling Alvar Crossbody in a Metallic Blue with Black Trim & a Black Cotton/Web Shoulder Strap. The measurements as shown in the description are correct - 0.5D x 11W x 9.5H inches - so make sure to measure to see if the purse suits your needs. If you overfill this purse, it will look like a big fat lump.
The interior will hold a big wallet, thin checkbook and some writing utensils. The front zipper pockets are best for small, flat things like notes, thin checkbook, business cards, and/or a pen.
The purse itself is a nice, casual looking purse (the shoulder strap makes the purse fit squarely in the casual description) that can be used as an everyday purse. It has a "different" enough look to make it stand out and look trendy but still subdued enough to go with a wide wardrobe.
