Vardag Crossbody Bag

Dog Hair Magnet

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Love the size and feel of the bag. However, as a dog mom, it’s not very pet hair friendly! In fact, in seems to attract all hair and loose fabric. Just have your lint roller handy.

Great Size for International Travel

Love this. Bought it in "Basalt" along with the Vardag Pocket in "Basalt" (to use as a wallet). It's been the perfect international travel duo. Used them both on a recent trip to Sarajevo. The Crossbody was excellent in crowds or situations where there might be thieves. It holds just enough to include the basics plus a light jacket for the day. I could sling it to the front and keep a hand on the handles if in a crowd, or flip it around to the back when hiking or in a more secure area. It's rugged and didn't stand out excessively. It was great in a rain storm! The Vardag Pocket held money, passport, credit cards and phone and could be taken out of the Crossbody and hidden under my clothes for extra security, when needed.

Fantastic. Stylish and lightweight.

I bought two of these bags in the black and the purple. They are my new favourite bags. So lightweight but easy to carry and fits a lot of stuff besides just the essentials. You can carry your iPad, water bottle and knitting , if you like. I may end up buying the green one as well as I have another Fjallraven bag in that colour and love the colour.

Great mom bag!

This bag is great for holding all the essentials for myself and my toddler. It holds plenty, and I love that it has a carry handle as well as a crossbody strap. There are two zippered compartments, one on the inside and one on the outside in the back. There’s plenty of room and you never feel like you’re trying to find something in a black hole. Everything is accessible. Would definitely recommend for casual outings or errands.

Had my Bag for just over 1 year and its a great bag , highly recommend.

Bought my vardag bag in march of 2022 so just over 1 year from writing this review (may 2023) . size is perfect and it's waterproof and it's a messenger bag as well as a grab bag . I can fit loads in it inc iPad mini and it also has a iPhone pocket on the outside of the bag which makes things so easy to get quick access to your mobile phone. inside pockets as well and I've added a metal clip loop for quick access for my keys . I can fit a good size purse inside it as well and my coin purse , umbrella , gloves . price is very reasonable as well . I have the storm colour and my bag still looks as good as new . cannot fault this bag at all . I use my bag all year round not just the warmer months , it's a perfect all year round bag .

Perfect bag for the spring and summer

Love this bag. I already have a black one and bought another in the blue. Lightweight and slim in design yet it holds a lot. I carry a wallet, cosmetic case, card case, glasses case, two Ka ken keychains, a small planner and tissues. Yet it still doesn’t feel heavy. Love the short grab handles and the adjustable king strap.

Good Functionality

I purchased this bag to use as my "personal item" for an international flight and sight-seeing at the destination. Since my main luggage for the trip was a backpack, I wanted a bag that was versatile and could be easily carried/held by shoulder or by hand. The short handles worked very well as I traversed the airport, and the main compartment was big enough to hold two Kindles, a water bottle, and other stuff I needed to access during the flights. The shoulder handle is only aspect of the bag where I had an issue: the material is very rough and chafed my skin when it slid off my shirt onto my neck/shoulder. Otherwise, the bag performed very well when I carried it on sight-seeing jaunts. I accidently rubbed the bag up against a stone wall one day, and the material held up very well. The bag could be improved by adding a shoulder protector/pad to the handle to prevent irritation.

Love!

I bought this to keep my knitting in and misc stuff. I love it! I was looking for a low, cube-like tote and I found it here! When I need it to stand upright-ish, I slouch it down. I wish I could attach my photos of it!

love it!!

had this bag for 7 months now and its amazing! love it for day to day erands as well as for work, it can fit more than it seems! really a great bag

Lightweight and beautiful

I bought this in the blue color storm. The color is gorgeous and the bag is very comfortable to wear. The adjustable strap is not very thick but I haven’t found that to be a problem even when I have it packed full. I can fit a lot in the main section of the purse, a chunky wallet, two hard glasses cases, a small makeup pouch, and the smaller size gear bag which I have quite a lot of things in. I could fit two in but I haven’t had the need to yet. I keep my phone and a pouch of tissues in the back zipped compartment. This is perfect for me, a person who tries to only carry the necessities but manages to bring way more than necessary!
