Just My Size

Date:January 11, 2012

I'm very happy with this bag. I agree with other reviews: definitely look at the size. Holding nothing and lying flat, this bag measure 11x11. Once you add items, the width will no longer hold anything 11 inches. That said, I have my electronic reader, a journal, a a few smaller items in the bag and outer pockets. It's great for adventuring when you don't need to carry everything with you. Very good craftsmanship. I would like to have had the strap be sturdier, but we'll see how it holds up long-term. The lining inside is a plus, preventing any shedding from getting on my things. I've gotten several compliments on it already after just a week.

Lovely in Pink

The bag is just as I had expected in size and colour (Pink). The suede is a little rougher and heavier but that's probably a good thing. The fixtures and fitting on it are of good quality and the snap closure inside the top is strong and placed directly over the slot for the cell phone, making that more secure. I'd recommend getting some suede protection spray to use so it doesn't get dirty.

Great Bag

I love this bag! The size is perfect for a camera & personal items on a trip or your Ipad and wallet for the coffee house. The only "issue" i have with it is the suede on the back side of the bag is already discolored from wearing it across my body but that is the nature of suede.
Overall LOVE it.

Perfect for my iPad on my daily streetcar ride to and from work! Be careful-the suede will bleed.

I think I love it!

But, I'm not 100% sure yet since I haven't actually used it yet! I purchased it in lavender so I'm waiting until Spring to break it out. The size is perfect for my use - iPhone, Kindle, small pouch for cards and cash - and I love the the aesthetics of the bag. I may find the lack of a zippered top and magnetic snaps to be problematic but those issues may be secondary. I took the advice of other posters and Scotchguarded it, too. I think its going to be perfect for my needs!

This bag is perfect for wearing over one shoulder/diagonal across the body nd going all day. Perfect size with plenty of pockets. I got the grey and it goes with everything even brown.

Wanted to like it...BUT

Date:February 15, 2012

Location: Virginia
I ordered this bag in Lavender, which is a beautiful sort of 'pink' color...I read all of the reviews prior to purchasing, so was prepared for it to be smaller than expected. It was a little smaller, but actually a good size for me. I ended up returning the purse - thank you Sundance for your wonderful return policy! My major complaints (and why I rated it 2 stars) is that you just have to 'look 'at it & it gets DIRTY - seriously!! Not even a suede protector helped. The purse is on the heavy side & has absolutely no structure to it, making it nearly impossible to find things - this was too frustrating. The two front pockets would have been great for keys & and your phone, but unfortunately, they are way too small for these items or much of anything else...oh well...

Love this bag!

I really love this bag!
I was worried that this bag would be too small as some reviewers said, but it is perfect. It looks pretty small from outside but it fits so much! Since the bag itself is very light, it's not hard on my shoulder either. It's so cute two of my coworkers wanted to order it too.
I got Golden but it's more like light mustard color and not too bright as in the picture.
My only complaint would be the the strap is a bit cheap looking... almost like a car seat belt.. but not too bad.
I haven't had a problem with the stain coming off from the bag but the bag came with the little "warning".

Nice purse but the shoulder strap doesn't seem to match. Would like leather instead of canvas. When you shorten the strap it does not stay that length.

Although the bag looks adorable, it is WAY too small for my liking. Pretty much fits a small wallet, cell phone and small items... But not practical for every day in my life... Seemed likeit was good quality and color was nice...but I returned it since it is really way too small... :(

I will be taking this bag to Spain with me...very nice looking bag. I think the bag is just the right size for traveling. Only thing about this bag is no zipper top - just a snap that doesn't close easily. But that is the only issue.

Not a great Travel bag!

Date:January 24, 2012

Location: Germany
I ordered the Green and love the style and color. The bag is soft and very comfortable to wear. However, I don't consider this a great travel bag. I live in Europe and carrying this bag around while traveling would not be very smart. It's a pick pocket's dream. No zipper and very easy access to reach in and take what you want without notice. I do love the bag but definitely won't wear it while traveling. Which is a bummer because that is why I bought the "World Explorer Bag."

love the small, yet roominess of this bag. Perfect day bag with adjustable shoulder strap. Neat design and appealing.
Would recommend for anyone that likes smaller, organized purses.

Heavy on arm & gets dirty soooo easy!

Bought the pretty butter gold color bag for a recent trip to Maui. I wasn't even to Maui when I decided that it must go back. The suede is so touchy that you can't let it rub on anything or touch anything for that matter. I put it in a plastic bag and tucked it in the bottom of my suitcase upon arrival. On another note, I was SO very pleased with my other purchases from Sundance for this trip!

I liked the size and style of the bag well enough to keep it, but I was really disappointed in the color. I ordered the gold and it wasn't even close to the picture in the catalog. In fact, it was more of a drab greenish yellow.
