The Sak Iris Large Smartphone Crossbody

I like my purse, but there are some things that would make it better. It needs to be a half inch to an inch wider so my key fob fits in it without the purse bowing out and it needs to be a half inch taller in height to accommodate a regular piece of paper folded into fourths. See picture. I have to attach my fob to the strap and I can’t zip up with a folded piece of paper. Love the look and I will use it, but I would not buy it again because I wanted simplicity and this isn’t simpler/sleek. One more thing. I would take care to send out a leather purse without scratches on it. They aren’t bad, but I probably wouldn’t rethink buying leather again.

I highly recommend this versatile bag. I absolutely love the Iris Large Smartphone Cross body!! It is so convenient to use, while running my errands. I can carry all of my essentials and be, totally, hands free, which is so helpful during this busy holiday season. This easily holds my driver’s license, debit card, store credit cards, major credit cards, cash, and my iPhone, without being bulky or heavy. For extra protection, I can put it on, prior to putting my jacket on, which allows me to carry my valuables within my jacket. While everything is in this crossbody, I simply detach the strap and use it as a wallet, tossing this into one of my many the sak totes.

My purse came damaged. It looked like when someone opened at box at the warehouse my purse was probably on the top and it was sliced through with a box cutter. As soon as I opened the shipping envelope I noticed the slice through the protective plastic wrapper and hoped it wasn’t through the purse. It did slice through, but the damage wasn’t extreme. I just hated to pay so much for something that had a slice in it and could possibly peel after use. I reached out to support through email and I had a response within 24 hours that they were sending a replacement and to donate/give away the first one. Amazing customer service.

I loved this crossbody for a couple weeks. But then the snap broke completely off the front. I noticed the snap was difficult to open when i first got it, but figured it would get better over time. I was wrong. After only a few weeks of using it, the snap just came completely detached from the flap that goes over the phone opening. I was extremely disappointed. I am only able to return for store credit since I am past 30 days, and since I purchased it as a bundle with a purse I am not getting the full value of a new one. So I still have to pay the difference to get a new one. In my opinion this is not acceptable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replacing my Iris Large Smartphone wallet from two years ago. Last one was made from canvas and served me well. I never used the crossbody feature, but appreciated that it easily held my phone for a quick trip to the store. Chose the black onyx leather Iris Large wallet this time, and it coordinates nicely with the Ashby Leather Satchel in Tobacco snake. The interior of the Iris is a light tan color, so it's not like reaching into a cave to find money or a credit card. One thing that would make this wallet better would be the addition of a clear I.D. pocket, perhaps on one side of the inside zipper/change pouch.

Great little purse/wallet. I started with the tabasco emboss but returned it cause the back was so smooth and looked susceptible to scuffing. I then went with one of the crocheted front ones which had a textured back which was much nicer. Not thrilled with them using a light fabric behind the crochet which makes for not as nice of a finished edge. But in general I like this wallet, it fits my key fob and chapstick. It would be nicer if I could keep my magnetic wallet on the back of my phone (phone doesn't quite fit in pocket with it) but no biggie, I just keep it inside the wallet when using outside of my purse.

Cute little grab and go bag. I’m downsizing so for me it’s just right, but for hand carry it’s still a bit on the large side. (Photo next to 16oz water bottle for reference) It comes with both a long strap to wear crossbody and a wrist strap for hand carry. Just fits my iPhone 11 Pro Max in the outside pocket, I have also used the outside pocket to store a pair of glasses when I don’t have my phone in there. Lots of card pockets inside and a zipper pocket. I got the shimmery color called pyrite which I thought would be silver but it’s kind of a cross between silver and gold. I still like it and it looks cute.

I like the idea that I can just grab this crossbody (I use as wallet basically), which I have just what I need in it, for quick trips to store, etc. It also fits in my purse for longer trips or when I want my whole purse with me. I have my drivers license, credit cards, key fob, and iPhone included in this ‘wallet.’ The only thing is that it’s hard to get my phone out, if this could be a bit bigger, maybe stretchy (?) at corners so that compartment could open up more. Also, I personally would like a little wider strap. The leather, if it is leather, shows scratch marks when I accidentally get my nails on it.
