5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautifully crafted piece of art I get the pleasure of carrying with me daily. It is the perfect size and sturdily made - I have no worries about throwing it in my backpack or carrying it on its own. The metal loop is perfect for holding my keys and earplugs. Thank you for a such a beautiful lovely piece!

5 out of 5 starsPurchased to go with the matching crossbody bag. A must since the small dimensions of the bag require economy - just the essentials - the cardholder, a lipstick and phone. Beautifully designed and meticulously crafted - beyond thrilled with my purchases from the store.

5 out of 5 starsI deliberated on this bag for an age and am so glad I took the plunge! It is stunning but I worried it would be just a touch too small. The measurements on the website are accurate. I have an iPhone pro max and - per the dimensions it should not fit. I purchased the bag knowing that - but it does - albeit it stretches out the sides a little (the bag is so beautiful it is worth buying a smaller phone for - LOL). The cactus leather is supple and very forgiving. I have no doubt the bag will wear well. With the small size, detailing and almost architectural design aesthetic it is like a beautiful jewel. Beyond thrilled with this purchase - thank you!!
