AFKOMST Crossbody Bag for Women Small Satchel and Shoulder Bag Vintage Saddle Handbags Vegan Leather

I chose the L-Red colour for this cross-body bag which will be given as a Christmas present.The bag is simply packaged - tissue paper covering the bag and then all placed inside a plastic bag. The bag itself is stuffed with firm paper to keep it in shape during transit (a very good idea) and the shoulder strap has been folded inside the bag.This looks exactly like the seller's own pictures and the red leather is quite stunning - leaning towards the darker side of red rather than being a vibrant lipstick red. Inside the bag are a selection of useful pockets to hold such items as transport passes, credit/debit card, ID card, with a large exterior pocket to hold an item you might need to get at quickly.The design is very appealing, looking like a small version of an school satchel from decades ago, but it has great design, styling and has been made to look extremely modern.I purchased the "large" size not knowing there was a smaller one available (somewhere! the seller failed to give a link). Given I bought this for someone else and knew what they needed, I think the smaller size might have been better but, and a big but here, I believe this slightly larger size represents better value, it is definitely not too big, and it has far more uses.Why did I only give 4 stars when I like it so much? Simple, I wasn't overly convinced about the front strap fixing. It is supposed to be a magnetic catch but it really was a pain trying to replace it once I had opened the bag to check it out. Although this makes for quite a quick way for the wearer to get at the bag's contents, it would be too easy for them to not re-fasten it securely.Concluding - I have to say that in spite of the front strap magnetic fixing, I really did like this bag. It might be based on an old-fashioned design but it looks neat, classy and expensive - far more expensive than it actually is. I was luck to order this when the price had been reduced to £20.99 and I feel that was exceptional value - especially since the bag is clearly worth its full price. Lovely bag and it will make a desirable gift.

Really nice bag but I wanted the bigger size which I thought I was ordering but when it arrived it was the small one. You really need to make it clear when people are ordering which size we are choosing or give an drop down option.

I ordered the Brown-L and was unsure what size it would be as there seems to be a small and a large and the dimensions of the two different sizes weren't clear (that I could see anyway). But I'm happy with it, it's exactly what I wanted, fits my kindle in no problem :) I attached a picture with my hand so you can see rough size.It's a really nice quality for the price and feels really well made even in the detail. The one small thing that to me makes it feel a little bit cheap is that the lining is loose, as in you can completely turn it out from the top of the bag. Though that could be a benefit for cleaning and perhaps is a personal preference.All in all though I'm really pleased and it really looks the part, I would definitely recommend it.

Hard leather with absolutely no give, could fit my keys and small phone but forget about a wallet or hairbrush

It doesn't appear to be leather to me. The press stud to hold the bag closed isn't sturdy and there is no inner zip to keep the bag closed. The material is hard so not much room for manoeuvre inside the bag. The model who is wearing the bag in the advert for it must be very small because the bag itself is rather small, only room for a couple of items. I put my purse, phone and card folder in there and couldn't get anything else in. Disappointed.

Have just given 4stars as it is for a gift so I can’t comment on final outcome but came quickly looks good to me colour is as shown I’m sure if it measures up to the recipient it will be 5

Looks exactly as the picture. Brilliant colour. Lovely and soft but sturdy to retain shape. Looks more expensive than it is. Excellent value for money and will buy again

Not too big and not too small. Just what I was looking for
