The small crossbody bag for leaving with just the essentials

This is a small crossbody bag, 8.5 inches long, 5.5 inches high and 2.75 inches deep, made from PU leather with gold tone hardware. It closes with a zipper and hangs from an adjustable strap with a 26 inch drop. Here is what that adds up to for a day out with a light load.

At 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches by 2.75 inches, this is a bag for a short list: a phone, keys, a card holder, a lip balm. The listing gives no capacity figure and no weight, so the measurements are the best guide to what fits. Which phone fits is a matter of the phone you own, so check yours against the length and height before deciding.

The outside is listed as PU leather and as faux leather, finished with gold tone hardware. Whether gold tone suits the rest of what you wear is a matter of taste, not measurement. Inside there is one open pocket and one zipper pocket, so there is a place for something you want to reach quickly and a closed place for a card or a few coins. The listing does not give pocket sizes or any care instructions.

The strap is adjustable and has a 26 inch drop. The listing does not state the shortest or longest setting, so where the bag sits on your body depends on how you set it. The closure is a zipper, and the name points to three zips, though the listing does not say where each one sits. It is imported, and no lining material is stated. Those gaps are worth knowing before you buy.
