Customer Reviews Brighton Kallista Messenger

This is the perfect bag for me! It has just enough pockets, is light weight and converts easily from crossbody to shoulder. The crossbody strap is very long...I wish more designers would make bags with longer crossbody straps. This bag is pricey, which was painful at first, but I love it so much I bought it in different colors!

I have been a Brighton customer for many years and so glad to see Zappos now carrying it. I have many leather bags. I tried this one because I wanted something that is more travel-friendly. I like it especially for it's lightweight, crushable, water-resistant and easily cleanable fabrication. It has many pockets and compartments without being too much and it feels secure and sturdy despite it's light nylon feel. I like the black with tan accents. The only caveat though, I am not a fan of big wide straps, and although these are soft and comfy, it takes up a lot of real estate on your chest.

I have seen this bag in the Brighton store, and when I saw it on Zappos, immediately ordered it. However, they sent me the wrong bag. It's Brighton, and it's black, but the tag on it says $185 (not the $285 I paid). Obviously I'm sending it back, but I'm not happy with Zappos right now.
