I had a different lighter-colored sling style last year and decided to replace it as things only fit one way. While this purse was a bit more expensive than I wanted to spend, I am really happy with it. It has quality travel safety features and multiple and different zippered and/or snapped pockets. They are thoughtfully sized and are perfect for my phone, a passport, a slim card wallet and small travel sized items for pills and sunscreen. I could also fit keys, sunglasses in a small case, and even my kindle in the largest pocket! The slim cross-body design fits closely and comfortably and is lightweight. I dont find the strap super comfortable but it is because of the safety stitching that is supposed to prevent it from being sliced.
