Customer Reviews OGIO Brooklyn Purse

Love this bag. A friend at work has the blue one & I had to get my own. It's durable & looks super cool. The terra color looks gray sometimes & green other times. I may have to get a black one too.

I love this bag, especially the color. I am 5'0. It is a bit long even when I wear it across my shoulder. However, I bought it especially for the pocket inside dedicated to a tablet. It's got lots of space inside and is durable. I do wish it had a pocket on the side to accommodate a water bottle.

I absolutely adore this bag. I have rotator cuff issues on my left side, so this purse is perfect since I wear it cross body (with the strap on my right side crossing to the left hip). Even when I load it down, it doesn't feel heavy. There is a lot of storage space. And I love the padded pocket for a tablet. I keep my Nook in there. The front pocket is actually awesome. I can slip my phone in the zippered pocket without unbuttoning any of the buttons, and then you can't even tell there is a pocket under there, which is better security in my opinion. The polka dot lining is great. I have the bag in black but I want it in every color! Love it!

Love this bag, the strap is a bit long though, and I'm 6' tall. Has plenty of little pockets and compartments.

I'm 5'10" and I have to disagree with the other review - the strap is not too short! This is a great bag for the casual mom on the go, I love the organization with all of the pockets. It fits a lot of items without looking too big or bulky.

I ordered this in the Sunset color. Gorgeous color! Kind of a dark purplish red - or "oxblood" red. Love the hidden pocket in the flap and one I would not have known about, but I took the time to read the attached tag. Plenty of room for gadgets and Kindle, iPad, cell phone and coupons! Almost too roomy since I tend to lose things in purses. Great lighter color inside to help with that, though.

Great bag for everyday use. I can fit my iPad, Nook, large wallet, keys and phone in it, no problem. It's a crossbody, but also works as a long shoulder bag. And it looks like the material will last a long time and still look great.

It was offered only in black and dark blue when I ordered, but in ads it's shown in maroon.

I actually won this Brooklyn bag at a golf tournament. I love it so much I bought each of my daughters one. The bag would be perfect if it had outside deep pockets for keys and phone.

This is a great bag, well made with enough room inside for a lot of different items. My one wish is that the strap were shorter, or adjustable. It would be helpful to see a photo of a model wearing the bag to better understand the proportions. I am 5'8 and I found the bag a bit large and the strap a bit too long. Otherwise, very nice product!

I love this cross/body purse Its big enough to carry all my essentials, and the comfortable strap is so easy! LOVE this so much I bought another one.

I love this bag!! It is my second one and I love it more than the first. My only bit of feedback is that for a cross body bag, the strap is shoulder bag length not cross body.length. Please make the strap about 3 - 4 inches longer.

I borrowed a different Ogio bag from my daughter. Bought the one I have now and the size is just right.

I love my Cobalt Blue Brooklyn bag and had to have the Hampton to match! I use my Brooklyn as my every day purse. I love the light color lining (polka dots over the grey chevron) because it is easier to see inside the bag. There is lots of room to carry all of my essentials. One addition I'd like to see would be a slip pocket on the back of the bag for quick access items, keys or a phone. I actually sewed a clip into the inside of the strap to clip my keys. I look forward more colors, think purple?

Excellent product, great quality, comfortable and stylish with enough space and pockets for all my needs. It's lightweight looks awesome.... Perfect for my trips..... I definitely recommend it!!!

This is a large bag, more like a messenger, which was bigger than I needed. It's also a bit heavy due to the padded pocket and the non-adjustable shoulder strap is short. I ordered the grey which is nice looking. The front buttons are difficult to open and do make the tiny hidden zip pocket a little useless. Still a nice bag if you want this size/length.

I like this purse for several reasons. 1. It keeps my regular size iPad, in its slim case safe in the padded pocket. This pocket is 9.5" x 11.75" in case someone was wondering. I emailed the manufacturer and just received their response tonight. Many sites have conflicting info. 2. The Brooklyn purse is cute, and unique in it's ability to hold myiPad and other items I need for travel, or on a daily basis. 3. The strap is wide ,and perhaps more comfortable than a thin one that can dig into my shoulder. 4. I'm hoping the crossbody style will distribute weight better than a shoulder bag. 5. The purse appears to be well made and of sturdy material. The fabric is not soft, but it seems sturdy. The things that could be improved..1. The strap could be adjustable, allowing it to work for more people. Also adjustments help with weight distribution, and general comfort for most people. 2. Those buttons make it very difficult to access the front pocket on a frequent basis. One fix could be to remove the buttons and sew them back on over the buttonholes on the front flap. That way I only have to lift the flap to access the zip pocket, without changing the look of the bag. Another idea is to attach a piece of ribbon to the zipper pull, and use that to pull the zipper open or closed under the buttoned flap. 3. Having another outside ,zip pocket, perhaps on the inside of the strap, near where it attaches to the bag would be a good thing. Things like keys, or a cell phone might be stored there. The Ogio Brooklyn purse is a great idea, and I look forward to using it, perhaps having made a few improvements of my own.

This purse is adorable, and with a few minor changes would be perfect. I got the red with polka dot interior, and the color is perfect - a true red, not faded or washed out at all, which is hard to find. The button detail on the front flap is really cute, but I do wish the buttons were just sewn to the front of the flap instead of being actual functional buttons. It forces you to choose between the inconvenience of having a hard time getting things out of the front zipper pocket underneath or leaving it unbuttoned, which isn't as cute. The interior pockets and organization are excellent, but I wish there was one more outer pocket on the back. The strap is the main thing I have issues with. On one hand, it is wonderful because it's wide and doesn't dig into your shoulder. It's also the perfect length for cross-body on me (I'm 5'6"). However, I really think it needs to be adjustable. I don't want to carry it cross-body all of the time, but the strap is waaaaay too long to carry on one shoulder. The strap is also really wide where it connects to the bag, which means that there's no way to clip my keys around it - so I think this bag also needs an external hook or something to clip keys onto, since that front pocket is impractical for anything you need to reach easily, like keys or a phone. I've only used it for "everyday" purposes so far, but I feel like it will be great for travel because all the things that I dislike about it are actually features I would look for in a travel bag. (e.g., cross-body strap, hard to access pockets for safety, etc.) Overall, I love how it looks enough to compensate for the functional limitations, but if it weren't so darn cute it would definitely be going back because of the strap and pocket issues.

Strap was a bit short, but otherwise I like it

Love the fabric, the cut, it's a well made bag. However, because the should strap is that of a shoulder bag, it should not be marketed as a crossbody bag. I am 5' 4' And for that reason I am returning it.

I have loved the Ogio brand for quite a few years now, and wanted to try one of their purses. I've been using the Organizing Shoulder Bag from 31 for the past couple years, so one of the things I miss about that is the exterior pockets. There are lots of nice organizing features on the inside, so I'm sure I will love it after using it for a while longer, and since I don't have a terribly long torso, the length of the strap is not a problem for me - even over my bulky winter coat.

Bought this for the wife and she loved it. Style is simple and has plenty of room. It looks really well done and should last a long time.

Pros: the style is super cute, the fabric seemed durable, and the color choices were good. Cons: the purse was stiff, the strap was not adjustable, and the hidden pocket was difficult to access. Overall the purse didn't work for what I had intended so it was returneded.

Pros: Very cute, very comfortable. Grey wool is versatile and dresses up or down. Good size. Sturdy and padded for laptop or tablet. Cons: Not labeled as indicated on video. No accessible outside pockets (one flap although cute, is like opening a new pair of 501 Levi button-front jeans--remember?) Also, no fob to hold onto keys or light.

Very comfortable to wear if you are short (I'm 5'2), because the strap is not adjustable. Lots of compliments! I wish I could hang my keys somehow like most of cross bodies but using the secret front pocked (hidden below the pretty 3-butonned flap) I'm fine. Fits a decent-sized book, wallet, phone, water bottle and many more things that make it heavy; but given the wide strap, it is still comfortable. Recommend it!
