I was looking for a lightweight everyday bag to carry around, so I tried the Meda Bag rattan bag. Since I tend to bring several belongings with me, I looked at its storage space, zipper, and comfort when worn for a long time.
The natural feel unique to rattan became a nice accent to simple outfits. It felt like it would suit spring and summer looks.
How were the brown color, weave, and finishing?
Between beige and brown, the color I used was brown. It was neither too light nor too dark, so it was fine for everyday carrying.
I was concerned about whether the weave might come undone easily, but when I checked it myself, it looked firm and sturdy.
I checked the finishing, too. In the areas I looked over, there were no sharp bits sticking out.
Does it have a zipper? How much can it hold?
There is a zipper at the top of the bag, so I could put my belongings inside and close it. I felt more at ease storing things in it than in a bag with an open top.
I prefer bags with generous storage space over mini bags. This one had a roomy interior, so it suited my usual habit of carrying my belongings around.
Even after putting in my wallet, car keys, pouch, and cosmetics, there was plenty of room left. With this much storage, I thought it would be nice to carry on a trip, too.
How were the length and shoulder comfort on a 161 cm frame?
When I wore it at 161 cm tall, the bag fell slightly below my hips. It did not feel too long or too short for me, so it was comfortable.
The bag itself was fairly light. Even when I kept it on while going to cafés or shopping, I hardly felt any shoulder stiffness or discomfort. I thought it would also be good for outings or trips with lots of moving around.
The strap was fairly wide as well, so the part that touched my shoulder felt secure. There was less of a sense of the weight shifting to one side, and I hardly felt any pinching or skin irritation.
I liked the zipper, generous storage, and lightweight feel, so I often carry it as an everyday bag. It was still cold when I used it, but I thought it would go well with summer outfits, too.
