About the Celeste East West Bag
The Celeste East West Bag is a mid-sized bag that boasts two handle length options, 3 card slots, a zippered pocket, and two slip pockets.
The main compartment is very large and can carry all your essentials such as phone, keys, chap stick, etc. A wallet would also fit if card slots are not your thing.
The bag is domestic friendly, constructed as a drop-in lining but it could be turned through a turn hole with minor modifications. Enjoy!
