The Row Review: Angy Crossbody; What I’m Loving:
- This chameleon goes from crossbody to clutch faster than I change my mind about outfits
- Roomy enough for my “just in case” packing habits
- Took a water spill like a champ
- Strap adjusts to my mood – long, short, or hidden
- That slouchy look? Chef’s kiss
- 100% lambskin leather, its very buttery and soft and just looks so incredibly nice when the light hits it. Prone to scratches with this delicate leather but I have so far had no issues.
The ‘Meh’ Bits:
- I don’t mind the skinny straps because I typically don’t carry heavy stuff in my bag, but if and when I do it’s not as comfortable on my shoulder I am pretty petite so this can be different for other frames
- Inside’s a bit of a black hole – no compartments
- To adjust the strap you have to tie the strap yourself there aren’t adjustable features, I’m 5’0 so I like tying the strap to let the bag sits on my hip. How I do it is tie the strap with a hair tie and stick it through the side of the bag so you cant see it. If I didn’t tie it, it would be extremely too long. There are also ways of tying it too by looping the strap in a knot from the top, I do that sometimes as well.
Real Talk: Two Months In
Alright, I’ve dragged this poor bag through a lot. Airport security? Check. Sudden water spill? Yep. Here’s the scoop:
- Tough as nails: I put my Angy bag in the Tray at the airport through security and it seems someone spilt water in the tray I used. I had a mini heart attack when I saw this because my bag had a huge wet spot on the bottom and luckily within just 2 minutes the water literally dried off. Like Magic.
- Travel buddy goals: Crossbody style kept my hands free for important stuff, like coffee!
- Spacious: 2 passports, 2 wallets, and other essentials fit perfectly with room to spare
- Versatility: Wear as a crossbody on the go and wear it as a clutch for fancy dinners – this is my favorite thing about the bag since I really like to get as much wearability out of my handbags, especially at this price point.
