A: This is a compact mini bag, listed here at approximately 15 x 12 x 4.5 cm. It will typically fit a phone, card holder, keys, lipstick, and a few slim essentials. Bulkier items such as a large wallet or hard sunglasses case may be a tight fit. Capacity can vary slightly depending on how you pack and the size of your phone.

Q: Is this a practical everyday bag?

Q: Does the smooth leather mark or scratch easily?

Q: How should I care for this bag?
