Awesome purse after a few diy improvements
This cutie holds all my essentials and goes with all my outfits. As someone who is 5’7”, the strap is just a tad to short as a crossbody so I punched two additional holes to make it longer. The drawstrings would also sit quite awkwardly because of the stiffness of the leather so I pulled them out and threaded one of those cute bandanas through the holes, and now I have the perfect bag.

It's become my everyday bag!
After leaving my keys sitting on a shelf in the grocery store I realized I needed a small tote-around-the-essentials bag for quick errands, etc. This one is perfect. It holds sunglasses, my wallet, phone, and keys + lipstick/chapstick. I debated between the small transport and the drawstring and settled on the drawstring version. I like that even though the drawstring doesn't close fully, it does make it less easy for things to fall out. I also just stick it in the transport tote when I need to carry around more things which makes it easily to find my phone/wallet!
I have it in pale green but am considering buying another one because I love it so much.

The perfect summer bag
English Saddle was a nice neutral color for the summer. The bag surprisingly holds more than it looks: iPhone 8 Plus, full wallet, keys, mints, and compact. The zipper bag inside is the length of bag and a good catch all including for me: eye drops, lip balm, vitamins etc.
I like the drawstring at the top, makes the bag a little more secure. The crossbody works well for me at 5’5 and I like the option of the handles. The leather is good quality but wish the shoulder strap was more comfortable.
Overall a great bag.

Classic black leather bag
I needed a simple, black leather bag that was stylish and casual. Without being too large and heavy for every day. This was the Perfect bag!! It doesn’t fit my large wallet, but I will find a smaller one to use for this bag. It can fit my phone and sunglasses for traveling too :)

Small but practical
Small crossbody bag but ended up big enough for all the essentials: keys, phone, wallet, and a few necessary items... I like the color, just as pictured on website. Nice style, a bit rustic, perfect for bush walking... Overall very happy with purchase.

Perfect small bag
I love this bag, the leather is high quality and is a perfect small purse. I can fit my wallet, phone, keys, and a 3oz bottle of spray. A great value, especially because I got it on sale.

Perfect size
This bag is the perfect size!! It looks small and feels small when you carry it, but is surprisingly roomy on the inside. My iPhone, sunglasses, and small wallet fit perfectly with enough room to throw in the random items you acquire throughout the day.

great smaller bag
this is labeled small for a reason, and not in a bad way! It’s a perfect bag to toss your phone, keys, wallet, sunnies, and lipgloss in, but it’s not going to hold everything that your standard size tote does. I saw some people complain about the strap length, but I think it’s a perfect length. I’d rather not have my crossbody bag hanging down too low anyways. (I’m 5’7” for reference) I got the tan/natural color and it looks great. High quality bag and workmanship, as always with madewell bags.
