How are the zipper and inner-pocket storage?
When looking for a rattan bag for a resort trip, I was disappointed by worries about losing things from open bags and by limited storage. This one has a full zipper across the top and a separate inner pocket, so it was easy to keep a wallet, phone, passport, and small items organized separately.
What were the rattan weave and weight like when I first received it?
When it arrived and I picked it up, it felt so light that I wondered whether there was even a bag inside. Once I opened it, the natural feel unique to rattan was the first thing I noticed.
The weave felt sturdier than it had looked in the photos, and the bag held its shape relatively well even when I put things inside or carried it.
Is it safe for carrying belongings while traveling?
I had hesitated to choose an open rattan bag because I worried about losing my wallet or passport while traveling. Being able to close the opening with a zipper made me feel much more at ease carrying my belongings around.
Can small items be organized separately?
I kept small items such as lip balm and a card wallet separately in the inner pocket. It was convenient that little things did not get mixed together inside the bag.
Does the bag keep its shape well?
The rattan weave felt dense and firm. I liked that the bag's shape did not easily lose its form even when it was filled.
How does it feel worn as a shoulder bag?
The strap length was just right for wearing on the shoulder, and it was comfortable because it was not too thin.
It gave off a summery feel when paired with dresses or linen outfits. Since I could wear it on my shoulder instead of carrying it by hand, it was nice to keep both hands free, and it felt light.
Did I use it for everyday life as well as resort trips?
I tried it for trips to a café near home and when wearing summer dresses. It suited everyday outfits better than I expected, and it felt roomy once I put my things inside.
What did I like most after using it?
- I could close the opening with the top zipper.
- I used the inner pocket to separate small items.
- I liked the sturdy weave and shape-holding structure.
- I paired it with resort outfits and everyday summer clothes.
