Women's Elysia Crossbody Bag, Lightweight, Multi-Compartment Magnetic Snap Pockets, Shoulder Bag

UPDATE: The black purse (my new travel bag) arrived today. It is just as wonderful as the Grey Gris. All the compartments have a grey-ish lining so you can see what's inside. And I mean ALL the compartments! Even the front and back zippered sections have the grey-ish lining! No more black hole! Kipling, you are awesome! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Is anyone else on a forever quest to find the right purse? It's a never-ending "Oh, this is a great bag!"... until it's not. I have been using a large Coach carryall for going "out" and a waist pack for going to work and running errands. Wearing a waist pack to travel to work is fine. But snapping it on and off while running errands is getting on my nerves. While out of town last week, I saw a Baggallini bag that was cute and large enough to be called a purse. But then I read some reviews that the quality was not what it used to be, so I skipped buying it. I really wanted a purse to replace my waist pack for errands, so I started my quest...again, and looked at Kipling. I have purchased other Kipling products over the years...backpacks, wallets, waist packs, a messenger bag, and they are high-quality. I still have several of them. I came across the Elysia crossbody. The size seemed right and I liked the compartments. It has good reviews. The purse arrived two days ago. My goodness! I just love it. It is so lightweight and comfortable. It fits everything I need to put in a purse. And it's cute - it looks great!! Both the shoulder straps and crossbody strap are comfortable. But I have shoulder pain so I switched the crossbody strap with a guitar-style purse strap because it distributes the weight better. I buy Art Tribute's purse straps because they are good quality and comfortable. Make sure you buy a strap with silver hardware. How much do I love this purse? After I put everything in it yesterday, I purchased the solid black purse for travel. The black signature embossed version of this purse is in my cart...along with a beautiful Art Tribute strap. That will be my fall/winter bag. I emptied out my Coach carryall and bagged it up for donating. It is as heavy empty as my new Kipling with everything in it. If you want a light weight, good-sized purse, this one is for you!

I have this same bag in a couple of other colors. Basically, it's perfect. Lightweight Holds a ton Tons of compartments of all types (zipped, snapped, or open) Wears like iron Can be washed if it gets dirty Just the right size The only thing that's different from my older ones is they no longer have a sew-in key fob inside the main compartment. I actually miss that, as I kept my spare keys attached to it, so I knew I always had a set on hand. But, that's the only change, the rest is the same, and it's a great pocketbook.

Excellent quality and the perfect “medium “ size bag for my needs. The main compartment is generously sized and lots of convenient pockets on the outside.

Light weight with lots of pockets!!Great everyday bag or travel!

This is my 5th Kipling Elysia handbag. It’s a great size, and holds so much stuff. It is not heavy and helps you stay organized. It’s a handbag, shoulder bag, or a crossbody. Great bag for the price. Love it.

The bag was made to the expected Kipling standard. I was surprised at how heavy the bag was. This was probably due to the numerous compartments.i have recently been purchasing bags that are light weight because of all the stuff that I carry around, which makes my bag heavy. I have taken off the shoulder straps but that hasn't made much difference. I wonder if the metallic glow fabric has added to the weight. I was a bit disappointed that the key ring pictured in the photo on amazon was absent. Over all its a well made bag and sturdy. I expect that it will serve me well for several years

Kipling’s just don’t wear out! Was carrying a smaller Kipling that I’ve had for 6 years and needed a larger purse but didn’t want anything heavy due to multiple hand surgeries. This was the perfect model. I love that it has handles (fabric ones that tuck inside) and an adjustable shoulder strap. Shoulder strap is easily detachable. Very lightweight with one main center (zippered) compartment and an outer compartment on each, front and back that close simply with magnetic snaps. On top of that there are outside zippered compartments (one on front & back) and one on the inside of main compartment. The way this medium bag is constructed makes it difficult for someone to just reach in and grab things from the main compartment. I just wish that it had little metal dots or feet on the bottom but then it’s not a stand-up purse.

I happy I made a right decision. I had 3 choices when I was searching for a good size travel bag to go around NYC. This is the perfect size I was looking. Soft, light, easy to clean and i got it the next day. I highly recommend this.
