Darren Top Zip Leather Crossbody Bag

I really love this bag. I have been wearing this almost every day since I bought this few weeks bag. What I really love about this bag is how light it’s despite it being genuine leather. I’m not exaggerating when I say sometimes I forget I’m even carrying it. I also love the caramel leather color, my first leather bag in this color. The design is clean and elegant. I plan to buy the black as well. I wish the black leather bag came with metal hardware in gold or silver color though.

My fav features of this bag are: 1. The convertible strap that can go short or long. 2. The zip-top main compartment - I like zip closures bc they are more secure. The main compartment is spacious enough for my small wallet, large iPhone, travel hand lotion, chapstick, keys, and so on. You could also fit sunglasses in there if they are not in a case. 3. This bag is made of soft leather that can be compressed flat in a suitcase. And it’s light weight. IE it’s easy to for pack/ good for travel. 4. As a crossbody, this bag lays very well. It’s soft against the body. The profile of the bag is slim enough that I don’t feel as though I have a block attached to my hip. Also, the crossbody strap is long enough that the bag can sit a tiny bit lower on my hip which is the placement I prefer. (i hate shorter crossbody straps that cause the bag to land right at the top of your hip, it’s annoying.) For reference, I’m 5’5” tall. This is not *the* most durable bag so if you’re looking for an everyday purse, I don’t think this one will last for years.

Nice pebbled leather. The Caramello is a good color; coordinates nicely with the tan-carmel color outfits. The zipper can get stuck if pulled back too far. It takes effort from there to zip the purse closed. I do not overfill it either. I can’t return it because I trimmed the tassels. They were too long for my taste and comfort. I had the purse for about 4 months. Showing signs of sagging due to the soft leather (I think).
