Ahhh I love the color of this bag! I’d also like it to be a bit more wide so it can hold a few more things easily. I don’t like big wallets but I use something a bit bigger than a card case. My question would be, how do you decide what bag to add to your collection next? (Color, style, size…or do you just see one in passing and fall in love?) also, can you do an updated bag collection video?
Me too!! It's my first one in honey from US, and I actually love it so much!! It was a little darker than expected, and I just thought it went with everything!! I love this question so much, thank you so much for asking it!! And I love that video idea, I can absolutely make it happen!! I actually have quite a few I've never shown on camera!! :)
I’ve also shied away from belt bags, but this one sounds like it really works! Discussion question: How do you stop yourself from buying every cute bag you see on social media? The struggle for me is real.😂
I LOVE it!! Honestly, one of the best bags I have in my collection - I'm finding it very difficult to switch out of it currently, because it's just so practical!! I do wish it was a smidge bigger, but I am pleasantly surprised at what I can carry!! LOVE this question, and I will be adding it to the que!! Thank you so much for asking it!! :)
I love how detailed this review was, although I don't think it'd be enough space for me! My question for you is: if you could only carry one bag for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
Thank you so much!! I thought the same, but I am truly surprised with how much it holds!! I even got my kindle in it yesterday!! But i do hope they decide to make a larger one!! OOOOOO!! Love this question - I really need to think on this one for sure!! Thank you for asking it!! I will answer it in video 4!! :)
I love sling bags because you can be hands free and no weighing you down. I love this bad but I too would love it to be bigger! Do you know if they are playing making one bigger? Again another thorough video! You are amazing!
They totally are!! So convenient - I've never had a bag more functional than this one, and I loved it for that reason!! I do not know if they will come out with a larger one, but I really hope they do!! I think it would be so nice to have two different size options!! Thank you so, so much!! :)
I also love a good dust bag, and I tend to judge bag brands based on the type of dust bag they give - not even joking 🤣 I’ll go more in depth in video 4 for sure!! ☺️
It’s so cute. Gosh, I still love their leather. Not sure how I would feel wearing a belt bag. There’s a first for everything! For my question: How did you get all of your fur babies?
I was so skeptical about it, but it is seriously amazing!! I loved it!! Now I'm thinking of getting their market tote!! LOL!! AHHHHHH!! Quite literally one of my favorite things to talk about!! Thank you for this question!!
Love this bag and color!! Can you share how thick you can stuff it and still close it? Like, does it expand to a half inch? An inch? I’d love if you could try and measure it for me!
Honey is my new favorite from US, I think!! Wasn’t sure how much I’d love it, but I honestly now want the heritage saddlebag in this color too!! 100% can do this for you!! I think I’m going to make an additional video on this bag, actually!! I’ve had so many good questions on it, and I feel like I need to address them all in a dedicated video!!
I was afraid of the size at first, but I think because I'm currently in a stage where I carry a lot less than I used to - it works! However, I could totally seeing it being small for a lot of people!! But I think for a walk with the dog or running in and out of the store (a good bag for bag-ception) - this is an amazing option!!
I didn't think I could either, but I think you'd be so surprised!! And it's seriously SOOOOO convenient, one of the most easy "in and out" bags I've ever used!! Such an amazing question, thank you so much for asking it!! I can't wait to address it in video 4!! :)
I think this looks so cute across the chest! I never wear my bum bags on my waste. Ok question for this video... If you could make a “perfect bag” what would it be?
Right?! My favorite way to carry this bag is right across my chest!! Although I did use it a bit, just to test it out, on my wait, but found that cross chest was perfect for me!! Oooooo, such a good question!! Thank you for asking it!! I'll think on this and can't wait to reveal in video 4!!
I adore this bag and the shape is so unique! It’s great to know that my cell phone will fit along with essentials. I’m considering ordering one for the summer. Thanks for these great reviews.
The shape is very unique, and I think lends so much to it's sleekness!! I actually tested out a kindle in it yesterday and it fit!! I feel like I need to do an updated review!!
You're so welcome!! :) AMAZING question and one that I really, really need to think on!!! Can't wait to answer this in video 4!!! Thank you for asking!!!
Definitely a difficult choice! The crossbody wallet is definitely nice with a good amount of pockets!! I do have that particular piece from US; however, I can say I get a ton of use out of this belt bag! Plus, on my vacation to Nashville, it was a champ! I loved having it close to me, and I felt it fit all my essentials perfectly! Let me know which one you decide on! ☺️
I like to carry “everything but the kitchen sink” in my bags, but I also have always wanted to be more minimal. This bag seems to me to be a pretty good starting point for that. As my baby gets older, I’m wondering if a belt bag like this one would be super helpful or if I feel regret once I’m out of the house with it. Did you at any point while carrying this bag get somewhere and go “man, I wish I would’ve brought this, but it wouldn’t fit?” I guess your steroid cream like you mentioned? Do you think it would fit a kindle?
I think for moms, this bag would be especially perfect, because your hands are always so full and this gives you the opportunity to have your things quite close but be hands free! So a really great option for sure!! I have carried this bag for about 2 weeks - I did not experience that "uh oh" moment; however, I can say that I have really tried to minimize the things I carry lately! That could really lend into why I didn't feel like I had forgotten something. However, I do hope they come out with a larger version because A) I think it would be great to sneak a few other items in (for me, my steroid topical cream) and B) I think it would attract more people to this bag if it were just a bit bigger! I think the size can be daunting for those that are used to something much larger!
Okay, girl, I tested out the kindle in this bag, and...drum roll...it fits!!! Now I did have to take out the concealer - basically I had to remove something cause it wouldn’t stretch that far otherwise - but it definitely fits!! I have the kindle paperwhite for reference!!
Yay!! Thanks for checking! I have a paper white too so it’s good to know if I take it to the salon or such that I’ll have any book. (I don’t like reading on my tiny phone)
@@brandy9507 Totally understand that - i don't either!! Thank you so much for this request - I feel like now I need to do a follow up video on this bag, because there have been several good points made in these comments that I want to touch on!! This being one of them!!
Belt bags are gorgeous, but I cannot bring myself to pull the trigger and buy one. I think in theory they are great but don't feel like I could pull that look off. 🤔 If you had bag that only fot 5 item, what would they be?
I totally understand, I felt the very same way!! I didn't know how I'd feel about it!! I was seriously so excited but leery - truly, they're a game changer bag!! THE most function bag i've ever used!! Love this question, thank you so much for asking it!! Can't wait to answer it in video 4!! :)
I'm really loving this bag!! I'm super short (5ft) but I think this would still look good!!!! It looked adorable on you! My question would be What line of work are you in? You had talked about college and packing a work bag and also super organized so I'm wondering what it could be :o))))))
I think you'd love it!! Truly one my most favorite bags I've ever used!! Thank you so much, girl!! I love this question, because I think it might surprise everyone!! Thank you for asking it!! Can't wait to answer in video 4!! :)
Cute bag! Do you keep all your bags and what do you do when you’re done with them? Like resell, donate ect? How many is too many bc Idknr think there is a cap for me😳😌
Thank you so much!! I thought this bag had such an elevated look while remaining so practical!! I could totally see that with the width - I really hope they come out with a bigger version, because I truly think this bag is amazing!!
This was my first bag by US in the honey, and I must say, I really loved it!! It's a really rich color and not too light - I thought it went well with a lot of outfits!!
It’s adorable. I find it hard to wear belt bags because of the “boobs” issue. Some belt bags are great for flatter chested women, but not so great for curvier ladies. Even if one carries the bag part in the back and the strap into the front, the strap cuts into the chest. Did you have any problem with discomfort along the chest part? I think that you could remove the strap and carry the bag as a clutch. I just received a new bag and would love to tell you about it!
You bring up such an amazing point, Barb, and I honestly might make an additional video on this bag to include that very detail! So, hopefully not too much information for you, but I am a 36DD, so I am a pretty large chested woman. I can't say I experienced this issue with the bag - but maybe it's because I wore it looser?? And I think because I carry it so high up, maybe it covered my boobs or rested on them rather than between? But I really do love the point you've made and want to address this in another video!! Thank you!! Tell me all about it, PLEASE!! I love hearing about all of your new bags!! I got a new one too, girl, and I cannot wait to tell you about it!! You go first!!
@@GirlinPursesuit I would love to see the video on cross-front bags and how a large busted person can use them. I have not purchased a great many lovely ones because of this very problem. I would love to share with my about my new bag but feel uncomfortable doing so on a page devoted to Urban Southern, one of my favorite artisan companies. I would not like to be disrespectful either to your review or to that company. What do you think? Perhaps you could start a new video hosting a discussion among us in which we bring up suggestions of different bags that we like and would like you to consider reviewing. How does that idea land with you?
@@barbarajloriordan2697 I love this idea, and I can absolutely do a second, follow-up video!! I love, love this idea!! I was actually also thinking of doing a FB group dedicated to talking about all different kinds of bags we are considering! Just because I feel like we could all post pics of bags we're loving or thinking about at any time and then discuss opinions! Thoughts on that? I think it might be the easiest platform!
Nice! Bit bigger/more depth required for me tho and I also love an outside pocket. I like wearing my belt bag crossbody while walking the dog or quick visit to shops and that I can wear while driving, easy carry! PS: can I still enter if I have a US postal address even though I’m from NZ?
I totally get it!! I really do hope they make a larger version of this bag - I think it would be even more perfect!! but this bag style is perfect for those quick errands or running around with the pups!! I actually have footage of me wearing the bag in the car while taking my dogs to Starbucks!! Usually i'm trying to find a spot for my bag where the dogs won't get it, but I was able to keep this one on me so they couldn't step on it!! Oh absolutely!! As long as I can ship it to a US (or Canadian) address that works!!
Gorgeous! I love this! I’m @leatherpaperink on Instagram, btw. We touched base earlier this week re: travelers notebooks. Love your channel and love this bag! My question for you: how often do you switch out your bag? Do you use a new purse every day depending on your outfit? Also, I love the convertible tote you use as a work bag. Do you usually carry a purse in addition to that? Or do you use it as your purse when you’re working? Excited to see the postal next week!
hey girl!!! I'm ordering that traveler's notebook, and I'm very excited for it!! I just really want something that can offer me a notebook and a calendar - plus the opportunity to be a bit more creative!! Also, love these questions, thank you so much for asking them!!! I can't wait to answer in video 4!!! :)
I have a weird feeling that purse peace hasn’t been reached yet 😉. Does purse peace exist? Maybe somewhere, along with purple unicorns and like the matching sock that always disappears.
LOL!! Right?!?! I don't know if I believe in it, but this purse comes so close!! I mean I couldn't get over the functionality of this bag and truly how perfect it was!! I will say this - if I wasn't in a stage right now where I aim to carry very little, I'm not sure how this bag would function for me; however, I did find that I was able to carry my most necessary items comfortably!! Love it - yes, in a world out yonder where the unicorns graze and the missing socks are all hung up in front of you!! :)
such a good question!! I really love the Rebecca Minkoff boxy crossbody - it's got a good amount of pockets! I also love the PLG mini crossbody - don't let the word mini fool you, it's a really good size!! if you're looking for something back a bit bigger, I love my WP standard backpack, but their market tote is similar in size to the backpack but is a handbag option! :)
