Fjällräven High Coast Crossbody Bag

Good sized bag, great organization, however the strap is very short. Not sure why but the strap is shorter than the typical crossbody, oversight? I have many crossbody bags and none of them are as short as the strap on this one.

Like this bag. Pros: perfect size. Lots of organization options. Love the colors (got blackberry). Like the strap with just enough padding. However, the mesh pockets inside are a little floppy. I put my sunglasses in there. It works, but sometimes they squirt out. The material of the bag is a bit flimsy too. On one hand it’s nice because the bag sits comfortably and conforms to your body. On the other hand flimsiness contributes to things shifting internally. It also really needs a pocket for the phone on the back of the bag. I felt so strongly about it I actually made my own pocket there for my iPhone 16 pro. Fits vertically with a tiny bit poking out. Future versions NEED this mod.

I love my bag! I’ve had it for a couple of years and it’s just starting to show a wee bit of wear on the outer fabric. I carry my epipen and medication, wallet, sunnies, a compact shopping bag, kindle, lippy, phone, tissues, hand cream, and sometimes even a small water bottle! It is my full time purse/bag and take it with me for hikes too. My only criticism: I would really love it if it had a slim back pocket on the outside of the bag for my passport or wallet (as the front pocket doesn’t fit both phone and wallet). I’d also love to have a brown/copper colour option one day. The current orange is too orange for my taste. I prefer my black bag over all the other colour options as it’s nice and neutral. I like straps etc to match the bag, but maybe that’s just a personal thing!

This is my go to cross body "handbag". I got it in boring black, but it goes to the office with me, out to dinner or around town. It sits at my feet in the car, or stuffs in larger bags and can be pulled out for a quick run to the cafeteria at lunch or into the store after leaving the office. It takes my wallet, work&personal phones, all the lipsticks I want and has room for more. Perfect holder for travel too - can nearly hold a passport and ticket at the ready while in line without being called an extra bag.

I stopped using a purse and just carry everything I need in this bag. It’s versatile, lightweight, comfortable to wear, and has a surprising amount of storage capacity. Great purchase.
