I just received my Helen crossbody bag in Babylon Blue crafted in Ubrique, Spain.
What a sensual experience touching this bag for the first time! It is so soft and smooth I found myself rubbing it against my cheek. The shrunken lambskin has some texture, the inside calfskin is smooth. The leather scent is pleasant and not overpowering. Overall my first impression is: I want another one!
What I can fit in the bag next to each other: my large size iPhone, reading glasses in a case, slender bifold wallet. On the ends I can fit my asthma inhaler, lip moisturizer, and two tiny pouches for medications, etc.
The zippered interior compartment is big enough for the enormous French carte d’identité, so definitely big enough for standard size US drivers licenses, credit cards. I could slip my bifold wallet in, but I can’t zip the pocket.
I was really pleased I could fit my reading glasses in as well as my phone and medication. If you want to carry sunglasses in addition, you can put them on top of the other stuff, but it won’t be as convenient.
I wish more purse makers would realize that women over 40 usually need space for reading glasses AND sunglasses and make the purses just that much bigger.
