I have another bag review today! I was definitely curious to see if this bag would be a good transition from the Everywhere Belt Bag (EBB) that I love so much. Sometimes the EBB can be just a tad on the small side. I usually have a hard time fitting in my sunglasses along with my iPhone. The Everywhere Crossbody Bag is bigger while maintaining the same silhouette as the EBB.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall.

I love that the strap is removable and adjustable. I have it set so the bag hits at my hip. The strap itself is slightly thinner than the EBB strap. It feels very comfortable on my shoulder.
Simi always!
Please check out my video to see what fits inside the bag!
Everywhere Crossbody Bag 2L Rose Blush
Let's take a closer look at the details. This bag does have a few logos. There's a side Lululemon tab, which I could do without. I much prefer the Lululemon logo in the hardware on the right corner. Much more tasteful and discreet. The zipper pulls also have Lululemon on it.
The clips are slightly hard to use. I would have preferred a dog leash clip. But I am grateful that the strap is removable. That's a big plus. If you do not like the strap you can always swap it out for a different one. You could also use this bag as a clutch if you wanted to.
Hardware is silver.
The back pocket is roomy, it can easily fit an iPhone 15 pro. There is no zipper closure for this pocket though. It's wide open which makes it easy to get the phone in and out, but there's the potential for it fall out, although I think that would be very unlikely. It's deep enough that I think it's fairly secure.
The inside of the main compartment is exactly the same as the EBB. No difference at all. There's the zippered pocket on one side and two mesh pockets on the opposite side.
The front zippered pocket opens up two two more additional mesh pockets. While this makes it great for organization, I also think it's a little unnecessary. I don't carry that many little things in my bag. I guess it's always good to have options though!
Here's the EBB and Everywhere Crossbody bag next to each other. While the Everywhere Crossbody Bag can fit a lot more than the EBB, I'm not totally sure it's worth the $78 price tag. I think I would have capped it at $68, so it's not too far off. However, the Rose Blush is more of a Lavender color than a pink color and I just wasn't feeling it. I decided to return the bag even though I do think it's a great everyday bag.
That's it for me! Let me know what you think of this bag. Have a wonderful Monday!

The bag is so pretty and I love all the little compartments but I’m not sure how much of it I would use? I do like more than less I think… it’s not my favorite color but it is very pretty -Janessa
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! Yep totally agree, it wasn't my color, I like either a deeper purple or a mauve pink or pink pink. This lilac just wasn't me. But I do like the bag itself!
DeleteI really like all the compartments! But such a huge price jump though from the EBB plus the metal zippers aren’t as smooth 🙁
ReplyDeleteRight?! That is such a big price jump. I wonder if the zipper issue was just mine? I'm hoping that's the case. I have to go to a store and see if the other zippers are better.
DeleteThanks for reviewing this new bag! I'm digging it a little more than the EBB. Are people still using belt bags? Haven't seen as many people using them compared to past years. Still very functional and I still use mine. Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! I still see some people using the EBB, but definitely not as much as last year. I still use mine from time to time though, they are very nifty bags and super easy to use.
DeleteGood bag review and video yet again! The construction of the bag and design is well thought out, but at the end of the day still a nylon bag 😅 so hard to justify. For some reason I feel like the back pocket would benefit from some type of closure
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Thanks so much! I do agree to some extent, I would have preferred some kind of closure for the back pocket. But I'm sure that would have added another $10 to the price LOL!
