KAVU Seattle Sling Shoulder Bag
KAVU Seattle Sling Shoulder Bag Reviews
The perfect purse for me–plenty of pockets, long strap for wearing across the body, durable fabric with nice solid/print options (I have aqua floral).I just received this bag in aqua-floral. It is cute, well made and has many functional pockets; including one on the strap for a cell phone. I don’t know how I got along without it. I will definitely order more Kavu bags in the future. I just purchased this Kavu bag a couple of weeks ago. I’ve used it pretty much nonstop since it arrived. It is so user friendly! A few of its highlights are: the cell phone holder, good sized pockets, cute fabric (I ordered the aqua floral), and the cross-body adjustable strap.
The only negatives I can say about this bag is that I wish it was just slightly bigger. I’m a mom, and just a bit more space for diapers, wipes, and such would be helpful. Also, I wish some of the other prints were available for the various styles. I would definitely order another Kavu bag. I love this Seattle Sling purse by Kavu. I got the purple and it just perks my spirits UP to use it everyday. It is the right size and fits against my body nicely, with a strap that is long enough and wide enough to be comfortable.
HOWEVER, a serious design flaw: the main zipper compartment is hard to zip back up. There’s something about the angle of the construction in that area. This purse should be a “one hand” affair. That’s the beauty of “cross bags”. You should be able to unzip and zip back up without struggling to bring the side of the zipper together to get the right angle for closure. But that is the only thing that I don’t love.
I’ve had a number of cloth Fossil bags, before they stopped making them and the same problem exists here. When this bag gets dirty, how does it hold up to a gentle hand wash? That will be the test. I only got 6 – 9 months use out of my Fossil bags for this reason (but they were light colored, so I bought the dark purple this time from Kavu) and if I had another request, it would be for cloth bags to be truly washable, with high quality fabrics and dyes. I don’t like leather (too clunky and not right for climate in Hawaii) and I hate unnatural fibers, so I am constantly seeking cool, convenient, natural fiber and washable bags that work with my life.
This one gets close. Heads up, Kavu. Work on design and washability and you will have a BEST SELLER bag in this little darling of a cross-body bag!! Aloha !!
