Sakroots Coated Canvas Crossbody Bag - Lightweight & Durable Small Shoulder Purse for Women - Perfect for Travel, Shopping, and Everyday Use

This is my second Sak Roots coated canvas purse of this exact size and shape. I love the coated canvas because I can wipe it off and the black strap on the one I bought won’t show stains. I often have to set purses on the floor when I’m out, either because of lack of table space or sitting on chairs that aren’t made for purses- i.e. the straps just fall off the back of chairs. The strap is also very wide and sturdy, including its hardware, and is extremely easy to adjust or readjust when wearing across my body. The strap doesn’t dig into my shoulders or back. The shape, depth and stiffness of the purse help keep my items balanced, which makes it more comfortable and stable so it doesn’t swing around when I move or bend over and I can also rest my hand on the top of the purse when I’m just standing around or in line. It fits flat across my body. I like the depth and firm structure of this purse because I can feel around in it to easily find things without emptying my whole purse out which I have to do with deeper and softer purses. Not having to dig keeps my hands from getting beat up. It’s a medium sized purse that holds a lot and is organized because of its pockets also. I carry a wallet, flashlight, calendar, giant cellphone, extra large glasses case, keys with lanyard, glasses cleaner spray, gum, pens, coin purse, small reading glasses in a pouch, and I can fold a baseball cap in there if I don’t mind it getting a little squished. I have also hung an extra glasses case from the heavy square metal piece that connects the strap to the body of the purse. The firm structure holds things in place so I don’t feel items bulging or smacking into my body. I love the psychedelic (but not crazy) flower pattern and colors. I gave up on neutral light colored purses because I can’t get stains out so they’re a waste of money and I can’t be worried about dirty purses, lack of purse hooks in the world etc. I am 100 percent into utilitarian & comfortable purses because I’d rather not carry one but have no choice unless I carry a backpack. This purse will fit upright into my backpack, and it’s a smaller (not mini) backpack. I exchanged the first purse I bought because there was a slight irregularity in the main zipper where it wasn’t flat. The replacement arrived less than 24 hours after I dropped the original at UPS and I was relieved because I’m really stuck on this purse. I wish this EXACT purse was available in more coated canvas designs because even though I’m not THAT into matching, and not AT ALL into sophisticated fashion, I still like options. There are so many colors in this purse, that if you’re into this sort of thing, technically, it matches almost ANYTHING!
