I carry the same as I do in a dinky bag--it just fits things differently as there are more pockets because it is accordian style. I carry a mini skinny, card case, phone, pen, chapstick, work ID, and keys.

I've already search YouTube, but as I said, I can't find anything for the crossbody--just the top handles and the clutch, which I different bags with different dimensions. Thank you for letting me know what you can get in yours though!

Thank you! I haven't been able to reconcile a dinky because the kisslock kind of hinders me, but it's good to know they have about the same space.

Oh thank you!
That's...one stuffed bag. Definitely wouldn't be comfortable filling it so full til it bulges like that, but good to see. :smile:

Rileys are great. They fit a lot, surprisingly, and when they are stuffed, they don't look like a balloon because they go more 'triangular', so when you wear them, they don't stick out from your body too much. I love my Rileys and keep buying them because they are very roomy and feminine, and are not too big for my frame (5'2"). I'd say, go for it. It fits way more than Dinky but has the same approximate shape/silhouette.

I do want to add this about the Riley as it is the one thing that really annoys me about it. Because it is accordian style, when you open the turnlock the whole bag kind of expands forward, meaning you can't ever just be lazy and leave the turnlock open. I guess I am spoiled by the Dinky and I really like that it closes nicely whether opened or closed (for those times you haven't yet shut the turnlock--the flap still rests nicely over the bag). It is not a deal breaker and I still like my one Riley, but it is something that bothers me a little when I use it. So just fyi on that.

That's an excellent thing to be aware of, thank you!

My riley arrived today and while I need to reorder because the one I received is missing a few sequins I really love it. It fits about the same as my dinky 24 and I love the different compartments. I thought about also ordering the purple rexy riley but trying to resist since my dinky 24 is purple.

That is true. It will expand forward, so if you forget to close it at the check-out, it ends up unfolding out and you're in danger of things falling out.

I feel like Riley is that perfect small bag. I agree, it is the same size in terms of fitting the same things is as Dinky 24 or Cassie. I love it!

I really wanted the rexy one a while ago, and finally bought it and it just didn’t wow in person so I returned it, if that helps. That is part of the reason I bought the lilac Charlie, since it was a similar color. Good luck on your other one!
