Kipling EL Dorado Convertible Cross Body, Very Berry, One Size

I loooove this bag. I spent days looking for a small cross-body bag that would fit my phone and a few other items. Despite the price, I decided to purchase this one, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised when I started using it.It holds everything I need without getting heavy or bulky. The zippers and velcro closures seem very sturdy. The strap is wide enough to not hurt my neck or shoulder and it is very easy to adjust. The bag sits comfortably on my hip (or on my lap if I'm sitting) and it doesn't get on the way.In the front zippered bag I put my HTC Incredible with case and a pack of tissues. My phone is easily accessible and I have no problem retrieving it when it rings.In the front pocket I put my wallet and keys. Also very easy to reach.The back zippered pocket is large enough to fit a small planner, two small containers with hand cream and hand sanitizer, a pack of gum, a pocket mirror, a lipgloss, and my sunglasses. This pocket is not very easily accessible because the zipper is behind the shoulder strap, but I don't mind because I only need this items occasionally.The middle pocket is designed to hold cards but I don't trust it because it doesn't seem very secure (that's why I use my wallet instead). I use this space to hold a usb stick, an ipod nano and earphones, a pen, and other random items that I rarely use like coupons and wipes.The only con is that it doesn't have a secured pocket for small items like earrings or loose change.The color in the picture of the "true blue" is deceiving. I was expecting it to be a bit brighter and slightly washed out, but it's a very dark blue, almost black. It's a pretty color, but it looks more "formal" than what I expected. I suggest you google the name and color to see what it really looks like.Bottomline: this is a very useful and cute bag.

The reviews had me a little skeptical regarding it's size but it's pretty much as described. It's actually a little bit bigger than the posted size. It fits my iPhone 6S Plus with a wallet case so I don't know why people are saying theirs don't fit. I can't even imagine how large your case would to be for your iPhone Plus not to fit. I only have two small complaints, one being that the cards slots are only protected by the velcro (which I already knew from the pictures, I just wish they were inside one of the zippers instead) and the other that the strap is a tiny bit short but I am 5'10" and have broad shoulders so that was to be expected. Over all really nice bag, really well made and it fit's everything I needed it to. Now I don't have to deal with things in my pockets woo!

Long lasting. Love all the pockets. I still have it. I like the strap because it can be long or short.

This is my second Eldorado bag. Though it's small, I can carry everything I need in it. There are plenty of credit card slots and sections to store essentials. The front zippered pocket is easily accessible and a great place to store your cell phone. The zippered pocket in the back fits anything else I could need. Worn as a crossbody bag you hardly know you are carrying a bag at all. I have used my previous bag for 5 years and it looks as good as new. I just love the true blue color and decided to get another. I can highly recommend this bag if you don't need to lug a lot a things with you.

Great quality bag, exactly what you'd expect from Kipling. It is small though. I had read the reviews and did the measurements, but was still surprised by it's size when I received it. In the end though, it actually holds quite a bit. My iPhone 6 plus fits with no issues, and there is plenty of room for other incidentals with one caveat, I cannot fit my keys in it. I do have a lot of keys on my key chain, and my two car keys are quite big on their own, so people with less keys (only 3-4) shouldn't have a problem. I just attached a carabiner clip to my key chain and clip them on the outside of the purse instead of trying to shove them inside.

I ordered this bag for travel, thinking it would hold the few items I would need in airports, tours and public transportation. It was just too small. I wear prescription sunglasses and there is no way to put them in this purse without a very large bulge. There are 2 sides to this bag, plus a center section which is secured with a velcro closure. This center section is accessed by pulling both sides apart.Thus laying the whole bag flat. This is where the card slots reside. I found it to be very inconvenient to pull apart the bag to get to items I use often.The color is great. This bag may work for a more organized person, but I just couldn't get it to work for me.

This bag is a great size for carrying my passport, small items and whatever else I can think off in a cross body format. It's a quality bag, as all Kipling products are, and I bought this to match my new Kipling rolling backpack, which I also love. Next purchase will be a rolling duffle to match. You may think Kipling is a little expensive but let me tell you, their stuff is worth it. It's an investment in travel that you'll never have to repeat, unless you lose it of course :)

the bag has two separate compartments which is great, but only attached at center bottom of the bag, in between the two compartments, by velcro. Additionally, I did not prefer the cotton strap.. doesnt move well with you as you move. Nor were the zippered areas easy to get your hands in and our of, unless your're 14. I had to use two hands to remove change, etc. Overall, didn't feel like I would be secure out on Museum mile or grocery shopping, removing money from and to the bag. Disappointing.
