I bought my partner and I each one of these bags after seeing a coworker's and loving it. We've already purchased another and I've got my eye on a couple more colors! They have become our most-used bags for sure. When you don't put a water bottle in it, you can kind of fold the top over and it just looks like a cute, small crossbody. But we have been trying to drink more water so it's great to take these with us on walks. I also recently took this on a trip to London and used it to hold an umbrella instead of a water bottle which worked great! And because of the lining in the bottle part of the bag it was fine to put the wet umbrella back in the bag. I also managed to stick my selfie stick in with the umbrella lol.

I took this water bottle holder on my recent Busch Gardens trip. I’m an avid theme park goer, who also INSISTS on packing lightly for theme park days, and this bag was great. I was able to conveniently sip directly from the top of the bag so I didn’t have to take my bottle out. The pockets on each side are easily accessible, with enough space inside to carry all the essentials for a fun-filled theme park day. Totally beats carrying a backpack all day, and is a much better water bottle holder than other brands. I also LOVE the cheetah print. I hope to get other colors soon!

I walk in a lot of parades living in New Orleans and this bag is ideal for running errands or marching a 6 mile parade route. the external pockets are amazing and I the zipper pocket easily fits a small wallet and my phone. I use it when I walk my dogs around town and I take it to the trail hikes too! The top handle carrying option is great for this shorter Damsel as it transforms into a modern purse when you remove the shoulder strap. The shoulder strap could be padded but it is not necessary as the weight distribution is well designed with carabiner style hooks that come off easily when you want them to but not in the middle of running, jumping, or dancing in the streets for Mardi Gras.

My husband is going to get one for his birthday because he keeps trying to steal mine!
