I have bought 3 of this brand and I have to say I am in love. I bought it for a trip, but I ended up using it as an easy "to go" purse when I don't need to carry much.LOVES:1) Fashion: Even using this as a small purse, I get constant compliments on the designs and how cute it is. I feel kind of silly using a passport bag for a purse but no one has noticed and so many people talk about how cute/pretty/nice/unique (in a good way) they are.2) Function: These work GREAT for travel. Just map out in your mind where each thing is going to go so you don't have to panic while looking for your items. It easily fits an iPhone (in a case), passports, credit cards, ID, plenty of cash and tickets. But it is also big enough for a pack a gum, lip balm, even a pack of smokes if you are inclined, etc. Everything is easy to get to. And it works just as well for running errands around town. I do wish I could remove the strap and use it as a basic wallet when I want to carry a larger bag. Usually I switch everything over because it isa bit weird in a big purse.3) Durability: Sadly these aren't really made for day in, day out use, but they are well made. They stand up AMAZING, quality wise, but they tend to fade, look a little dirty and sad after a few months of day to day use. The seams and fabric does stand up, and that is what is most important. I used one for 6+ months, every day, and there is no ripping, tearing, or any loss in the integrity of the bag. I do wish they had some sort of coating that kept them newer looking, or wore in a way that made them look well loved instead of dirty.4) Fit: I have an ample chest and wide shoulders and the strap fits cross body just fine. I have a friend who has one and is more even overall and her strap is just fine too. So size 22, no problem for it to hang well...but it does depend on body type. I think the manufacturer could give several more inches so it can work for more people. It still can be worn over the neck or as a side purse. For smaller people, it can be adjusted.5) Safety: Luckily I haven't really had to deal with this. But when I have been abroad, I don't feel like people notice its my passport wallet. Maybe I have been lucky, but no one has even seemed to notice it when I am wearing it. I could also easily tuck it under my clothes if I needed to. But I think it looks so different then a normal passport bag that it is not as noticeable, even though it is more noticeable then the standard black bag.-I haven't had anyone try to rip it off me, but it did get stuck on several things over time and pulled hard and it doesn't give.So while I LOVE it...and have done tons of research looking for similar bags, without finding them, I do have a few wishes.-MORE designs!!!-It stayed looking nice longer-It was water proof-An inside clip for keys-An option to buy a longer lasting bag with similar features and designs-Strap was detachable-Strap was able to be longer-instead of the clear plastic pocket, I would rather a stretchy pocket.So that would make it perfect...but the bag, as is, is pretty close.
