Hi everyone! I’m currently crushing on the Utility Crossbody and am curious to know what fits.

I typically carry Pocket Organizer or card holder, 6 key holder, sunglasses, one lip balm, and iPhone 12 Pro Max. Wondering if those items will fit, and can omit phone (usually in hand or pocket).

I’m finding that I’m loving small crossbody bags for summer And I’m liking the look of this one but need thoughts on functionality. The white strap doesn’t really turn me off.

Also, for those who own or have seen in person/tried on this bag, what are your thoughts? Are those two small pockets useful at all, or more just decorative?

Also, why is the canvas The same price as leather?!?

This is the bag I’m referring to:

I think it’s really cute but I’d be afraid of the light colored strap. I think it’s overpriced (although what bag isn’t). It also reminds me of Rebecca Minkoff Jett bags which came out before LV. F755D0B0-DA96-4224-B9A7-CE0E3A9BBC16.jpeg

I bought this in MC while drunk in Vegas and regret it. I didn’t try it on with the strap again until after the return period expired. I was waiting for a plain camera bag to come along and thought this might fit the bill. Here’s what I dislike about it, despite it being seriously overpriced.

- Zipper is hard to pull open and close. I almost returned it because of this, but the when I went to talk to the SA she said to just use some zipper wax.
- the strap is attached at an awkward place. Usually camera bags attach at the ends of the bag, not where the handle is. this causes the bag to move around more when wearing.
- too many zippers that make too much sound. I sound like a puppy with many dog tags.

i agree with all of the above. i wound up buying this in monogram canvas and returning it. the front pockets were too small to be useful to me, the bag did jingle, i did not love the strap, and the price point was just too high for this bag in my opinion. it's too bad because if it were $1000 less i might have kept it but again, those front pockets were just not functional to me. it is a cute bag though.
 
Does anyone know how/where I could get the black strap from the leather version? I've looked online at LV and don't see it. Since I don't own the bag is there a way to order one? Thanks in advance.
