Not to sound like Goldilocks, but I feel like I have spent my 50 years of life looking for the perfect bag and every bag up to this point has fallen short - too big, too small, too many pockets, not enough pockets, made of murder (leather, ew), boring colors, etc. And then I bought the Downtown Crossbody and I lived happily ever after. THE END.
No, but seriously. This bag is L-I-F-E. It's sleek and stylish, holds everything I need and doesn't feel stuffed or have too much room leftover. I like that I can activate the bottom zipper to make it a little bigger if I need to and I also like that I can switch out the straps from over arm to crossbody (but I really really really love the over arm strap, it just sits in there so nicely).
I tend to wear a lot of black, so I opted for the Berry color to give me a pop of color and also it made me nostalgic for the Oxblood-colored Doc Martens of the early 90s. Sigh.
I get so many compliments from people when I take it out (which is always now, it's my new fave bag), and I plan to get at least one more color in this style as well as trying other styles since I appreciate the styling and quality of this brand so much. This bag is a must have for every closet!
