Top Handle Pouch

I am pretty sure I have seen photos of people on the forum wearing them as a shoulder bag but it's a pretty tight fit.
you can most definately use a top handle pouch as a small bag so if you can, go to a store or outlet and see if you like the way it fits.
I have a Carly Top Handle Pouch and it's great. It fits very comfortably under my arm and fits a lot too for being a fairly small bag: hamptons wristlet, mini skinny, iPod mini, two lippies, even a smaller sample size of lotion. The carly is good because the sides kind of expand, but the purse never looks stuffed!
Can it fit under your arm with a jacket on?
As for the topic, I have a legacy top handle pouch and it barely fits under my arm. Not very comfortable at all.
I have a signature stripe pouch that I use as a handbag, but I wear it in the crook of my arm. It gets squashed if I try to wear it on my shoulder. It fits more than you would think...wallet, wristlet, pager, phone, and car keys. I could probably squeeze something else in there if I tried...
As others have said, it's mainly supposed to be a makeup/accessory case, but you can use it as a purse. I guess it just depends on how much you want to carry in it. I think some people use a trigger snap keyfob or valet keyfob as an extender on the strap so that it can fit over the shoulder better.
I have an all black leather one and I use it as an additional makeup bag. Like brushes and stuff. Non staining makeup stuff. LOL
For me, I think the handle is too short to use as a handbag.
I think it is great too for when traveling, throwing stuff like jewelry, medication and other small stuff into it. Then putting it inside a larger luggage bag.
