Crumpler Status Belly Messenger Bag - 183cu in - 2008 BCS

I had to return this, it was much smaller that I thought. The pocket was not roomy at all.

My wife uses it as a purse and can't be happier. A few internal pockets for organization, and being water-resistant make it a complete package. The velcro closure isn't going to let anything out, but is a bit noisy.

I bought the black bag, and after a few uses i returned it. It's a very very cute bag and at first I was thrilled. But when i went to open it i was horrified by how noisy the velcro is! If security is your concern, then get this bag! Nobody will be able to lift your wallet on a crowded train! I work in some situations where I have to be quiet and this was just in no way working for me. It was touch-and-go whether I kept it because as i said it's a very nice bag, well-made, stylish, and capacious. But for me, that's the way the decision fell.

Not bad at all. a small bag that holds my wallet, keys, cell, pen. it'll be tough to overload. the bag is well made and sturdy. i wouldn't pay full price though. wait until you find it on steepandcheap. it's held closed by a HUGE velcro closure, so it won't accidentally open, but it is LOUD.

This bag is the perfect purse size--fits cell phone, small make-up bag, and a large wallet, plus a few other things. Unfortunately, the strap is so wide that it cuts into my neck when I wear it like a cross body bag which is why I purchased it. The large and noisy velcro is a bit of a pain. I'd rather have a top zipper with a magnet close flap. If these improvements were made I'd buy it in all the colors!

I have had several compliments on this bag. It is very well made and very practical with a little style. A little smaller than I thought it would be but a great day bag.
