This review is from: KAVU Seattle Sling Shoulder Bag (Apparel)

I should start by saying that I really really wanted to love this little purse. I bought it several months ago and have been trying to let it grow on me, but I have to confess I'm not satisfied with it.

I have been using purses just like this for years, and while I love the overall concept, the execution here fails in many ways.

First, the pocket on the very front of the purse has a velcro closure. No big deal right? Except if you wear it on your hip or behind you it makes it really easy for someone to lift whatever you've got in there, OR have it fall out on the edges that the velcro doesn't cover.

Same goes for the cell phone pocket, which is placed in sort of a weird spot on the strap. Again, if you use it messenger style, all one would have to do is pull the velcro flap holding the phone in and they'd be gone. Not so fun for us iPhone users. I know it needs to be easy in and out, but a better placement would help here.

There is a pocket on the very back of the bag that is zippered shut. Cool, I thought, I can put my phone or something valuable in there. Not so easy as the pocket is only half-deep, meaning it only goes halfway down the back of the purse. Weird.

There are little pockets inside one of the main compartment, but the only things I have been able to fit in there are bandaids and hair clips. Even my smallest lipglosses don't fit. I don't think this was designed by a woman.

Lastly, the zipper on the frontmost pocket is already starting to stick. The zippers aren't very well made IMO. The fabric is only decent, not great. It's a fairly basic black canvas. Gets dirty super easy and I question it's long-term durability.

I know I will give KAVU another shot in the future, and will continue to use this purse until something else comes along (a new product of theirs perhaps?) that works better for my needs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Bag - some design problems, November 30, 2008

This review is from: KAVU Seattle Sling Shoulder Bag (Apparel)

I love this Seattle Sling purse by Kavu. I got the purple and it just perks my spirits UP to use it everyday. It is the right size and fits against my body nicely, with a strap that is long enough and wide enough to be comfortable.

HOWEVER, a serious design flaw: the main zipper compartment is hard to zip back up. There's something about the angle of the construction in that area. This purse should be a "one hand" affair. That's the beauty of "cross bags". You should be able to unzip and zip back up without struggling to bring the side of the zipper together to get the right angle for closure. But that is the only thing that I don't love.

I've had a number of cloth Fossil bags, before they stopped making them and the same problem exists here. When this bag gets dirty, how does it hold up to a gentle hand wash? That will be the test. I only got 6 - 9 months use out of my Fossil bags for this reason (but they were light colored, so I bought the dark purple this time from Kavu) and if I had another request, it would be for cloth bags to be truly washable, with high quality fabrics and dyes. I don't like leather (too clunky and not right for climate in Hawaii) and I hate unnatural fibers, so I am constantly seeking cool, convenient, natural fiber and washable bags that work with my life.

This one gets close. Heads up, Kavu. Work on design and washability and you will have a BEST SELLER bag in this little darling of a cross-body bag!! Aloha !!

This review is from: KAVU Seattle Sling Shoulder Bag (Apparel)

I just purchased this Kavu bag a couple of weeks ago. I've used it pretty much nonstop since it arrived. It is so user friendly! A few of its highlights are: the cell phone holder, good sized pockets, cute fabric (I ordered the aqua floral), and the cross-body adjustable strap.

The only negatives I can say about this bag is that I wish it was just slightly bigger. I'm a mom, and just a bit more space for diapers, wipes, and such would be helpful. Also, I wish some of the other prints were available for the various styles. I would definitely order another Kavu bag.
