FALAN MULE Small Crossbody Bag for Women Leather Shoulder Purse Lightweight Handbag with Adjustable Strap

I've been looking into a smaller purse for months now. No longer in the workforce, I don't have the need to carry half my make-up kit for touchups throughout the day (and I don't need extra sunglasses for the commute, or reading glasses in case my prescription ones break). Likewise, OTC allergy meds actually work for me at this point, so no need for tissue "purse paks" or bottles of allergy relief. A satchel-sized bag is overkill now. This little purse is perfect. I needed something for keys, phone and a wallet, and this handles it all. My current continental-type wallet is too long to fit inside, but its bottom is cracked and worn, so I really don't need a reason to replace it with a bi-fold (or a simple card case - who carries cash anymore?). The only off-putting attribute about the bag I noticed was the production smell while unpacking it. Think of the aroma that hits you when you lift the lid of your home aquarium. Thankfully, after letting the bag sit opened overnight, that smell is gone. There's a small inner zip pocket which would be useful for corralling pens, lip balm, nail clippers, feminine hygiene items or other tiny necessities. The bag features an unobtrusive magnetic clasp, which is outstanding to handle my habit of forgetting to zipper/snap up my bag when I'm not reaching inside. A magnetic closure means it happens automatically when you lower the flap. The brown shade is lovely, a color that's just a little deeper than Camel. Construction of the bag looks and feels solid. Both the magnetic snaps and the strap hardware are classic goldtoned. What I really loved is, it came with straps of different lengths - one, ideal for crossbody wear, while the other is perfect for over-the-shoulder carrying. I intend to use it both ways.
