ALYSSA Double Compartment Large Flapover Crossbody Bag

To preface this: I’m giving this 5 stars because there was absolutely nothing wrong with the seller, shipping or the bag itself. Quality: good for the price. The straps in the metal detailing on the front slip occasionally but nothing serious. I really wanted to love this bag, I really did. But it just didn’t fit my personal needs. The measurements from the listing are correct, but I thought there would be a bit of a give to it since it’s a cheaper bag, and there isn’t. That’s not on the seller, it’s on me for assuming.. but I just couldn’t fit everything I needed in there. I could fit my iPad (not the mini, but not the huge one) my Apple Pencil, a very thin notebook, a few pens, and a VERY thin wallet. That’s it, and every then it was a struggle to fit those few items inside. The listing says two compartment bag, however, there is a third compartment between the two main compartments that’s a bit smaller. The purse is sewn through so there isn’t a gap there where you could fit a few small extra things. Overall it was a good quality bag, it was super cute and fit my style but unfortunately due to my own personal assumptions did not fit my needs. This bag would be super cute and fantastic for people who don’t have to carry around as much stuff as I do, and the variety of colors ensure that it’ll match everything! Read more

I will happily had my review to the hundreds on this bag, just to confirm how great it is! I've been using it consistently since Christmas. Pros: Lots of space. During a trip to NYC, I was able to keep the essentials, gloves, headband, and phone tucked away in this bag. In the Times Square pic, I'm not entirely sure what is inside the bag poking out towards the bottom, but that's not a normal occurrence, just how I happened to have something situated. For the flights, I shortened the strap all the way down, and tucked the whole bag into my backpack. It's easy to just throw the bag over my shoulder, and very comfortable to wear. I was a bit concerned about the logistics of getting around the flap of the bag quickly, but it's not been a problem. The color is great, and goes with everything. The inside of the bag is cute and bright. There's several inner pockets to help with organization. Cons: The biggest one is that I've noticed darker stains begin to develop on the back of the bag. This is most likely due to the light color of the bag rubbing against my jeans while wearing it. It's slightly obnoxious but not a deal breaker. It's on the back of the bag, so no one is going to see it. For around 4 years, I've consistently used a large, wide wallet. There was no way that was going to work in this bag, without taking up a ton of space, and making the thin body of the bag protrude. I purchased a slim, minimalistic wallet from Target for $7, and all is now well. The wallet thing isn't really a con, just something to keep in mind, given the slim nature of the bag. Read more

Cute but definitely meant for flat/small items. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I had been looking for the perfect little crossbody handbag for a plus size girl and this one works great!! It's beautiful and stylish and holds a lot for such a compact bag. It has two large compartments with a small sliver of one, perfect for stashing paperwork plus extra zipper pockets for cosmetics, etc. I also have enjoyed the vast choices of colors they offer as well. I got the pink and blue when they were on sale and they are beautiful colors. I wish I had the $$$$ to buy each color!! I highly recommend them. Read more

Very cute and functional purse… but, it wore out quickly. I’m talking quickly! I had only used it for about two weeks and there are several wear marks. Otherwise, I loved the purse; the size, the inside pockets and the look of it are all great. But, I’m not able to continue to use it because of how fast it wore out. Maybe I received a flawed purse and it might be worth trying out a new one, still decided about that tho. So overall, disappointed! Read more

I love this bag more than I even anticipated I would. I purchased the bag to wear for a race at Daytona speedway where I couldn't really carry a purse but wanted enough room to put all my essentials. This little bag worked out perfectly. Size: The size of this cross body is excellent. I did not want something that looked like I was wearing a messenger bag but I also did not want something that was so small I could only fit my phone in it. This bag is an excellent in-between size that is not overkill but still very functional. Organization: I also love the interior layout of the bag. The inside is split into three large sections which allowed me to keep all my items separate. This is somewhat the Mary Poppins equivalent of cross body bags as it is incredible how much stuff you can actually fit in it without it looking like it is bulging out. Design: The design factor is what led me to purchasing the bag. I wanted to look trendy and I would say 80% of cross body bags out there scream 90's soccer mom which is not what I was going for. It is just as trendy and cute in person as it is in the photo and its clearly made very well. I also love the way the flap comes over the bag because it adds somewhat of an extra layer of security when you are walking around with it in crowded places. I would absolutely purchase this bag over again and recommend it to others. For the money it is a great buy that will provide the function needed without giving up the style aspect. Read more
