Milan Leather Belt Bag

This bag is beautiful. The leather is soft and the colors are gorgeous. Unfortunately it is very small. I could barely get my phone, sunglasses, and wallet in there. After adding the items the bag no longer had its natural shape so it appears stuffed and does not conform to the body. Maybe if there were less items it would keep it’s natural form and look less stiff when trying to wear it as a crossbody.

Purchased the white bag fully expecting it to have silver hardware like the pics, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived with gold hardware! Love it and will order a black one now. I wear a 26 in jeans and will say that at the tightest it is still big. Stays on but hangs really low so likely won’t ever wear as a Fanny pack.

Upon arrival, I could immediately notice the quality. The leather was like butter. I ordered the pearl white. The warm toned shiny hardware was to die for. Unfortunately I believe this bag is made to be worn across the torso or slung low on the hips; it was way too large for me to wrap around my waist, I am petite, and even adjusted to its smallest point was nervous it would fall off my hips. I bought it for outdoor activities to hold just a few essentials (kind of fancy for that, I know, but a girl likes what she likes!) and needed something that would firmly stay on my waist. Regretfully had to return. Otherwise I would have kept it as the quality is superb and it is absolutely a stunning piece.

I have one belt bag from lululemon and bought this as a dressier, more sophisticated option. The color is beautiful soft gray. The zipper is more brushed gold. But here’s my wish list. If the zipper went across the top vs front it would fit more & be easier to grab what I’m looking for. I don’t use the cc slots because they’re not deep. I do have a small cc wallet I use. My sunglasses are in a silky pouch but I can get them in. The back pouch is too short for my iPhone, so I keep keys & a pen there. The strap is comfortable but for sure a cross body it’s way too long for an actual belt bag. All and all it’s cute, comfortable and does the trick.

I researched several different bags and decided that I would buy this bag (white=Cloud color). I especially loved the silver hardware on the bag. However, when I received the bag, it has gold hardware. The website shows silver hardware. I am so very disappointed. The gold hardware makes the bag look really cheap.
