Customer Reviews OGIO Brooklyn Purse

This is perfect for my 5'2" frame. I usually look for bags with an adjustable crossbody strap, but this was just right for my height. The light grey felt is incredibly durable; someone's dog ran off with it at the dog park and absolutely no damage. I love the internal organization for tablets, and that there are two pockets on either side of the sleeve. There were some complaints about the outside key pouch being difficult to access with the buttons. I felt that it was easy to open, a little bit more difficult to close, but there is a zipper anyways. I always lose my keys in my purse, so this dedicated pocket is a huge plus. I am super happy with it and am thinking about getting the pea coat color next.

I opened the box and I am extremely pleased. I am a simple girl, but I also need a lot of pocket space in my purse. This bag is perfect. It has many compartments, it fits nicely across my shoulder and/or over my shoulders, the material is great and it is practical for everyday use. Virtual Hi-5's for OGIO and the design of this bag.

This bag is awesome! The material is sturdy and the internal pouch is the perfect size to hold an ipad. Only (minor) complaint -- it's difficult to access the external pocket because of the 3 functional buttons. You really need to undo all 3, then a zipper, to get in.

I wrote a separate review that I think was too harsh so I'm correcting it now. I'm very picky about bags, and was looking for a cross-body shoulder bag that wasn't as bulky as a messenger bag, but would carry big sunglasses, lipstick, wallet, phone, big keychain, a book, and miscellaneous small items. I like that the inside is big enough for all my junk, and that it's divided into sections, one of which is zippered for added semi-security. The pouch that is obviously supposed to be phone-sized isn't big enough to put a contemporary phone in, though. It does have little slots for pens (neat). It's also pretty classy looking in a casual way, although I'm not crazy about the itchiness and warmth of all that felt. The strap is shorter than I'd like, and it's wider than it needs to be, which is especially annoying because it's made of that scratchy hot felt. I live in the desert, so it's a big deal for me. The buttoned flap that conceals a small pocket on the front of the bag isn't especially functional, but it looks really cute. Ideally the brand name wouldn't be on the front of the bag in big plastic letters, but they blend in with the color of the bag, so it's not too conspicuous. Overall, I like the bag a lot, and it is the best bag/purse for everyday use that I've found in my adult life, even though it's not perfect. It's roomy and functional, and stylish in an understated way.

Great bag! Lots of room and very comfortable to carry. Great for everyday use and for travel.

I absolutely love my bag! It's spacious with plenty of pockets. A place for a tablet and cell phone. Strap could be longer because I'm 6'2 tall.

I purchased this bag to use as a large multipurpose everyday bag only, and not as an iPad tote (I do not even own an iPad or tablet). I did start keeping my Nintendo 3DS in the iPad sleeve recently, however, and it works great to keep that protected. I think the quality of this bag is great, and it serves as a sturdy, yet professional looking and stylish bag for any occasion. There is plenty of space; the bag can fit a lot of items without looking bulky. It is math. Also, the strap fits comfortably over one shoulder or across the chest.

recently had tendinitis for carrying my purse on my shoulder (heavy purse you might say); I decided to get a strap bag/purse and see if my shoulder would improve. I found this cute, adorable purse/bag, very practical, full of little pockets for pens, snacks, keys etc and as a reviewer put it, "you can put your life in it" and that's exactly what I needed. I can even carry my nook in it thanks to the middle put padded compartment. I really love it. One downside: I'm not very tall (5'1), and I have to say the bag sometimes feels long, or too low on my hips/derriere. But it is much better than having my shoulder pains. My daughters love it too!

Great casual look. Length is perfect. I am 5'3'' and it is not too long. Excellent condition upon arrival.

So happy with my purchases. I bought my friend one in red and she loves hers too. The color is bright and the polka lining is a fun touch. The shoulder strap is thick and rests on the shoulder well. I can wear it on one shoulder or across the body with no issue. Just the bag I was looking for that is stylish and functional.

The straps too short. So I have to wear it off my shoulder which is fine. So if you're over 5'5, I wouldn't get this purse. But everything else is awesome! Love the storage and the style. I got mine in blue and just love it.

This bag is great! I bought it to hold my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 (the original one) and it just fits in the tablet sleeve with its keyboard case. (Dimensions are about 10" x 7"). I've also found this center pocket useful for holding additional cash on vacation. The bag's side pockets hold my phone and keys, and the harder to access one on the outside holds my car key (a smart key, so no need to take it out of the purse). It's a little big for everyday use, but holds a lot of stuff.

Love this bag! It's lightweight and has tons of organizational "extras." As always Zappos shipping was immediate and the ordering process was a breeze! Thanks (again) Zappos!

I'm so glad I didn't listen to those reviews that say that the strap is too short...I'm 5'7" and it's just perfect. If I wear it crossbody, the top of the bag is at my hip's height, which works great for me. It's also wearable just on one shoulder. The strap itself is wide and comfy and distributes the weight evenly (I had an injury to my left shoulder and am very sensitive to this kind of problem). You don't really need to unbutton the front buttons to reach the small, hidden pocket. The middle section protects my iPad mini and there's room for so many things: medium wallet, glasses with case, beanie, beauty case, snacks...I can fit them all and it doesn't get bulky. The Terra one is actually a nice, cool dark brown, although looking at the picture I thought it was more green. I like it even better! Great purchase!

I'm 5'6 and a size 16-18, and the bag is the perfect length. If the strap were any shorter it would be an issue. Love the look of the bag, and the compartments. It's very sturdy.

Great bag! Unique material lends a one of a kind feel. As some reviewers have said about the strap length, it could be too short for some. I think it depends if you're short waisted. I am short waisted, 5'4" and the bag (when wearing crossed over) lays just below my hip bone. So for some, this could be an issue. I would definitely purchase the bag and try it out yourself. I wish the middle iPad section could come out. But that's why I am taking it to the alteration store. It is totally worth saving this bag! I love it and will have it for years to come, I haven't used the little front pocket yet because there is nice room with pockets inside. I would tell anyone to go for it!

I absolutely love this purse! It is so cute and fits great! I am 5'4". The organization is great! I do not think the front buttons are meant to be unbuttoned. Kind of like a secret zipper pocket. The inside is so adorable! It has two big pockets, a lined pocket for a tablet, a zipper pocket, a cell phone pocket, two pen pockets and a camera pocket. Whew! Organization!

This bag is so cute! I bought it hoping my netbook would fit, which it does not. I was going to return it, but I just couldn't because it is so cute. It is perfect to travel on vacation with. I don't agree with other reviewers that the shoulder strap is too short - if anything it's on the long side. The pocket on the front under the buttons is a bit useless because it is really hard to access. I actually ended up using the compartment in the middle for my passport when I was traveling.

This is the perfect, hands-free, walk around bag. The fabric is super sturdy and looks like it will avoid stains and hold its shape. It is exactly what I was hoping for. My iPad fits safely in the padded center area. There are pockets for everything and the thick strap makes it very comfortable. Love it!

I had been looking for a side carry bag that I liked for a long time! I am so happy I found this one. I love the fact that it has so many pockets and special places to put items. I put my breath mints in the spot labeled for candy!

This is a great bag. I was looking for a bag that I could carry my iPad, along with my day to day items as a crossover bag. This bag lays perfectly at my side and the straps are thick enough and sturdy enough that the bag does not feel heavy with all of my items. Great value, many compartments to store items, cute look! Love this bag.

I just got my bag today, and I love it! Perfect casual style and size, and very comfortable because of the wide strap. Was a little concerned with the strap length because some of the other reviewers complained that it was too short. I am 5'2" (with eyes of blue), and found that it fits perfectly across my body and the bag rest at my hip. I wouldn't want it any shorter or longer, so taller gals beware. Love this bag!

I really like this bag! I'd been looking for a messenger-style bag that wasn't gigantic, and wasn't having much luck. I found this one, and it's great. It's a decent size and has a lot of pockets for storage options. The only issue I've had with it is that I'm short (5'1") and it's a little longer than I'd like, but that's fixable.

This is a great purse, this is my second one because I love it so much (and love the color choices)! It is made from excellent durable, quality, rain resistance but not water proof. It has three compartments, one compartment holds a tablet it has padded sides. The strap is a little shorter then expected but is easy to get used to!

I'm in LOVE with this purse! Very well made and incredibly comfortable to carry either on the shoulder or across the chest. It looks heavier than it is bc of the great fabric. It's VERY well made with plenty of pockets and a secret one on the front to keep valuables quite safe when traveling. Favorite purchase this year!
