CHALA Mini Crossbody/Purse with Convertible Strap Stylish, Compact, Versatile

I received the CHALA Mini Cross-Body bag today - Pawprint Stone Grey pattern. The workmanship is better than I expected and the pattern is cute as can be! We've had Golden Retrievers (best dogs in the world :-)) as pets/pals for many years, so I thought the Pawprint design would be a nice tribute to them. Although this is "faux" leather, it looks like the real thing...the sewn on appliques are adorable! My iPhone 8-plus fits perfectly (even with an Otter Box) in the outer pocket and there's room in the main, zippered pocket for a small mirror and lipstick, cash, tissues - plus designated slots for a couple of credit cards, driver's license, etc. There's also a zippered pocket on the front of the bag. It came with two straps, so it can convert to three types of bag: Clutch, Purse and Xbody - I got it mainly for the Xbody because I get tired of carrying my larger, Vera Bradley handbags when I go shopping - this little cross-body bag will be perfect, keep my hands free and not weigh me down - I need to schedule a shopping trip soon LOL! PLUS - I didn't know this when I ordered it but saw on the tag: "CHALA HANDBAGS" is an advocate of animal rights and welfare. They donate 5% of their annual net profits to help animals in need through their charity partner, Heart and Home Animal Rescue Foundation - kudos to CHALA! I put several of the designs in my "wish list", so now I want to order more for spring and summer!

First off, this purse is adorable. I bought the bunny version, and after having it only a week, I've already gotten several compliments. I'm quite in love with the design, and plan to buy another Chala product in the triceratops pattern now.Secondly, it is the perfect size. I have a very large phone (Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra in an Otterbox) and at first my heart sank because it couldn't quite fit inside the zipper. However, it does fit into the back pocket. (It was very snug at first, but has loosened a bit over the week and is now fairly easy to use. I imagine it will get even easier in time.) This is actually even better, because it keeps my phone easier to access than inside a zippered section with a bunch of other stuff. My rather fat bifold wallet easily fits into the zippered pouch with a small bottle of hand sanitizer and some lip balm. The front zipper pouch is great for carrying a spare cloth face mask, just in case.Finally, while I'm a rare vegetarian who tends to prefer authentic leather, this purse actually feels quite nice, and seems like it will last beyond the lifespan of standard vegan PU leather. It's very soft with a sturdy strap and seems capable of standing up to the abuses a purse generally tends to see.I'm absolutely thrilled with this purchase. It's precisely what I've been looking for, even in ways I didn't know I needed.

Got it for my friend who recently became a dog mom and she loooved it! The wallet is very cute, the colors are as described in the picture and looks very well made. Has plenty room but small enough to fit in the purse made by the same company. The perfect gift!

Super cute purse, love the pockets and material.

I saw this brand at a bar and really liked it; then this little charming item came up in my news feed and on sale! I love it. I prefer a small purse and this is pretty small. I put my cards and license in the inside card holder area, my big phone in the front pocket and the main pocket is just big enough to carry my meds, some lip gloss, and a couple smaller doo-dads.Quality is really good and I get compliments all the time (okay, I show it off to people until they compliment it so I shut up) . It's adroable.

This is an ADORABLE little clutch and I love it for parties or events where I don’t need to carry much. It’s small, lightweight, and good materials. I like how it can have a wrist strap or adjustable strap for a crossbody, which makes it with versatile. The one thing I don’t like is the lack of functionality with pockets or compartments for organization— that would make it perfect.

Adorable, fun little crossbody. Fun and whimsical. Love the colors. Lightweight. Two adjustable straps - one long, one short. I'll be buying more - for myself and for gifts.

Love this purse, have to use a cane so this makes carrying a purse so easy. Plus it is really cute. Made well and sturdy.
