KAVU Original Rope Bag Cotton Crossbody Sling ​

I got this bag for my everyday bag/purse. So I’ll start off by saying that this bag really holds more than you would think by just looking at it. Upon arrival I was a little surprised that it wasn’t as big as I thought it would be, given that most reviewers use this as a diaper bag. However, once I started packing my items in it, I found i was able to carry a lot more in it than a traditional purse or even the Meru sling bag. In the largest compartment I carry my kindle, glass case, 8oz bottle of lotion, keys, phone charger (and sometimes a journal). On the other side, in the slightly smaller compartment, I carry travel tissues, a small pencil bag for my personal care and first aid kit, and a 2oz bottle of an on the go stain remover. In the bottom compartment on the front of the bag, I carry my checkbook, small coin purse/wallet, two pens, and my iPhone 6. In the top front compartment, I carry 1oz bottle of hand sanitizer, ear buds, pocket knife, and lip balm. Don’t let the size fool you. It is able to hold quite a bit without it being uncomfortable on your shoulder. I don’t think I can ever go back to a cross body or hobo purse. I even have quite a bit of space left over. The multiple compartments make everything organized and easy to find. I love it so much I even bought a second one, the polyester one since that one is water resistant and easy to clean.**NOTE: this bag CAN fit an 11” laptop and be zipped up. In my pics, you can see my 11” hp inside my kavu. It definitely can not hold anything larger.

UPDATE-11/13/18MY STRAPS HAVE ALREADY BROKEN. There is only a 30 day window (apparently) to return/exchange at Amazon for this product, and you cannot contact KAVU if you bought their products from a different website such as Amazon. Now after using this $50 bag for a short few months I need to have it repaired or just suck up the loss. It's really a shame that there isnt a warranty on a bag that is sold as a very durable bag, designed for hiking, camping and just everyday life. I loved this bag before it broke, but will NEVER purchase another KAVU product again.I love this coral color. It washes up nicely too, on hand wash mode only! I can stash pull ups, my wallet, keys, lotion on one side and snacks for my girls on the other zippered side. I also love the 2 front pockets for my phone and some chapstick!

I love the pattern on this bag and couldn't resist trying it out! I was hoping it could be a replacement for a larger back-pack for me.The Pros: It fit everything I usually carry, wallet, cosmetic case, small gadget pouch, multiple sets of keys, cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) in a Trident Aegis case (the lower outside pocket worked fine for it.) My Kindle or Fire 8 fit fine. I stuck a collapsible umbrella in and it fit, too. It holds an amazing amount. A trade paperback or a hardcover I'm sure would fit as well. The canvas fabric seems sturdy but not stiff. I would not use it in the rain, though.The Cons: I cannot hang it off my right shoulder, only my left. If I want to carry it on my back, the strap has to be on my right shoulder which feels weird. If you want to pull it around under your left arm to take something out of the larger main compartment it works ok, but the smaller compartment isn't accessible because everything in it would fall out. So I guess you take it off to get to that stuff? It just seems really awkward to me. Also, because it's canvas and rope it doesn't slide easily around. Probably the polyester Sling Bag version would work better for that, but it's also only left- oriented, unfortunately.I think I will be returning this bag. My Ameribag HBB holds just as much and is usable on either shoulder.

I spent hours searching for a messenger type diaper bag and decided to give this a try. I love it!It holds everything I need, and sits comfortably across my back. It is so much easier than a big bulky purse diaper bag when I'm chasing my 3 year old! Because of the buckle, I can easily hook it to my stroller, too.The front pockets are small- I keep a pacifier and a mini hand sanitizer in those. My iPhone 5c can fit in the top pocket but it doesn't close. I usually just tuck it into one of the big pockets or my pants pocket instead.There are two interior pockets. One is large and the other is smallish. I keep my wallet in the small one, and cram the other one full of all my mom stuff. I only like to take the bare essentials, so if you are a "kitchen sink" type, you might want to stick to a giant purse.What I can fit:Pack of wipes2-4 diapers2 burp clothsNursing coverSnacksSippy cupA couple baby toysKeys, phone, wallet

Beware of fakes! This was going to be my second Kavu bag. When I received it, I could tell the zippers were extra flimsy. The tag on the inside wasn’t stitched correctly, and the bag was missing key markings. If you get your bag and it seems too lightweight or there are defects, check out the video on the Kavu website that details how to spot fakes. It was very helpful and confirmed that the bag I received was not authentic.

I bought this instead of a fanny pack for touring as I knew souvenirs wouldn't fit in the fanny pack. The pattern and color is outstanding! I wanted the polyester one instead of canvas for its water resistance but they don't have that one in as many pretty patterns and colors so I got this and scotchguarded it with zero issues. The rope straps are thick and very well made compared to a knockoff brand I have. Pictured is the El Paso pattern Kavu with the knock-off "Ambry" brand which has slightly more room, more padding on the back, a softer feel but lesser quality rope for the straps. They were already fraying upon arrival in a few spots but it cost half of the Kavu so gave it a try.

My new favourite bag, saw a lot of these in Orlando parks . Very handy , good size phones pocket in the front . Will defo order again

Brilliant bag, perfect for days out with the little ones. Can be worn at the front or back leaving your hands free! Lots of different designs. Highly recommend.

10/10 love Kavu

I bought it thinking it will not fit a lot but I was wrong. I change everything that was in my purse to this bag and I still have plenty of space for other things. I could fit a book, a water bottle, a wallet, a pack of kleenex and way more. The way the bag is made, even when the bag is more fill, don't feel too heavy. I'm just not used to wear it on my right shoulder but I will get used to it. It is a very nice quality and for the price it does its job. I used it on a daily base but also when I go hiking or for a bicycle ride in town and I'm always free hand and I loved it. Will maybe buy another with an other patern since they are all pretty cute.
