The SAK Artist Circle Cross-Body

I bought the red peace bag after looking at several crossbody bags. The quality is excellent, it’s better looking in real life. The bag is not too heavy and has the right amount of pocket without being overwhelming. The front outside pocket is shirred and tight enough to hold your phone or keys. The inside zipper pocket is a good size for small items. In addition there are two interior pockets that are the right size for phone or keys. The shoulder strap is detachable, yet that is my only reason for not giving 5 stars. It is not adjustable. I am long waisted and when you use the bag as a crossbody bag it hangs a little too high for me. Overall, I really like this bag. The size of the bag is perfect, big enough to hold what you need, but not so large you lose it all at the bottom. A nice addition I’ll use for years to come.

Gorgeous!5
I love this bag, it’s big, but not too big, and leather is wonderfully soft. I have the Dark Amber one, which is a really versatile year round color, I’ve been using it every day since I got it, and the lining is a gorgeous graffiti print. I love “hidden” section in the flap too, open up the zipper and the compartment reaches all the way to the bottom of the bag, a great place to keep important items you don’t want to take any chances with. The two pockets in the front are easily big enough for a cell phone or an iPod. The bag can be carried easily on your shoulder, but when you want to get something out of the bag you definitely have to take it off, because the flap makes it a little awkward to get at anything otherwise. The drop is not long enough to wear as a cross body bag, it’s definitely meant to be worn as a shoulder or handbag only. I’m hoping at some point to get this bag in Teak or Black as well.

Great purchase4
I recently purchased this bag in green and I absolutely love it.
Pros:
* Roomy, fits everything I need and there’s still plenty of room left (large wallet, keys, phone, small umbrella, glasses case, small toiletries bag…)
* Overall good quality, sturdy bag; nice soft leather and nicely finished
* Convenient adjustable strap: can be lengthened to wear cross-body (messenger-style) or shortened to use as a shoulder bag
* 2 additional straps at the back of the bag, which can be used to carry an umbrella, a yoga mat, a rolled-up sweater… very handy
* Versatile, looks equally good with a variety of outfits; I wear everywhere.

Cons:
* The top flap simply folds onto the main compartment, you can’t close it securely as you might if it had some kind of fastener. In fairness I haven’t had anything even remotely come close to falling out, but this wouldn’t be the best bag to wear on a bike
* The 2 front pockets have magnetic closures
* The front pocket flaps came held in place by glue dots, so they wouldn’t flip up during shipping I assume; the glue left the leather stained (fortunately it’s not in a conspicuous spot)

Overall a great purchase, well worth the price.

better in real life4
I just purchased this bag in green (lime) at the store. It actually looks MUCH nicer in real life. They should have included a picture of someone carrying it. The leather is very nice and soft and it’s light in weight. I wish the bottom was reinforced with something stiffer which is why I didn’t give it 5 stars. The flap doesn’t snap close, but I actually like that because it makes it easy to get into your purse while it’s still on your shoulder. So far it doesn’t look like stuff would fall out easily, the flap seems to stay down pretty well. The other reviewers complained about the strap being a weird length, but I find it’s the perfect purse length for me at the shortest length. It’s adjustable but even at the longest length it probably won’t be enough to wear across the front for the average person. Like the other reviewers said it’s the perfect size, not too big, not too small. I love that it sort of looks like a saddle/messenger bag. I find most bags in this price range are ugly so this is a good buy.

A little too long4
As expected from The SAK, the bag has great interior pockets. The zipper pocket extends to the bottom of the bag, and the open elastic-topped pockets on the opposite side are higher, which keeps the bag from looking bulky. I also love that my large billfold fits in this bag.

I am disappointed in a couple of key features in this bag though. One is that the strap is too long. I am 5′-6″ and it hits me too low to be comfortable. When I walk, it bounces off my leg, which is annoying. There is no strap adjustment, which would be a big improvement. The other disappointment is the attachment of the strap. The design causes the strap to fold in on itself where it attaches to the bag, making the strap look really thin at the bottom.
