About the Cressida East West Bag
The Cressida East West Bag is a mid-sized bag that boasts a top handle and a cross-body strap.
The main compartment is closed off with side gussets and a front flip or turn lock.
Within the main compartment you’ll find 5 card slots, a cash slot, a zippered pocket and a slip pocket. The main compartment, itself, 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 flat, then turned through a turn hole. Enjoy!
