befen Slim Wristlet Crossbody

I love this pocketbook! I love the color, I love the quality, I love the size. You can feel the quality as soon as you touch the bag. My last pocketbook that was the same color bergundy ( my favorite) wound up chipping in the corners and it looked terrible. I can see that that is not going to be happening with this pocketbook with the real leather.. The color is not painted on. It is fairly thick leather. I cannot speak to the crossbody strap because I Incorporated a chain. But it looks amazing and feels amazing. It fits everything I need it to... housekeys, key fob, s23 Ultra, earpods, lip chap and/or lipstick. As long as the zippers hold up this bag should last a very long time. One thing to note is that the outside zipper pocket is not big enough for an s23 Ultra, so there's that. But, it's not a deal-breaker, and I am happy with this pocketbook 😊

I absolutely love this purse! The Crazy Horse leather is beautiful and gives it a unique vintage look that gets even better with use. It’s lightweight but very well made, and I love how versatile it is—I can wear it crossbody, use it as a wristlet, or carry it as a clutch. It fits my phone perfectly along with cards and a few essentials, and the RFID card slots are a great bonus for peace of mind. Perfect for everyday errands or a night out when you don’t want a bulky bag. Highly recommend!

Ever since purchasing my BIG iPhone 6s Plus, I have been on the hunt for a way to comfortably carry it when I did not want to carry my big purse. I have back trouble and for times when I needed to walk long distances (like an outdoor art show) and was unable to carry my regular purse, an added plus would be to find something that had just a little extra room for credit cards and money. Another requirement for me, or at least a strong preference, was for genuine full grain leather. I wanted something that would be attractive, easy to carry, durable and functional. Of course, I also figured that if I ever found this elusive product, it would cost me a small fortune. So I looked in stores, I searched through leather booths at art shows, kept my eyes open for something that would work every time we traveled to other places, always on the lookout for my special phone bag. Then one day I decided to look on Amazon… and that is how I found this one. I couldn’t believe the price for something that was suppose to be top grain leather. But I read the description, read the reviews, viewed the pictures and decided to try it. It seemed too perfect and I was prepared for disappointment. Imagine my surprise and delight when my red beauty arrived and I realized it was everything it was advertised to be! At least for me, this was the perfect solution to my dilemma. I was immediately struck by the high quality exhibited in the craftsmanship of this bag. The stitching was straight and even. Even the hardware is heavy and beautifully finished and the bag is fully lined in a satiny material. It is the perfect size for my phone in a wallet style case, plus it gives ample space for many cards, an inside zipper pocket and an open pocket for folding money, so that you don’t even need a wallet! There is also an outside zipper pocket that you can either wear out or next to your body for added security of the contents. The color was much richer than the picture indicated and the leather is oh so soft and supple! The shoulder strap is long and adjustable, and rather than the plastic edging on the strap that others use that cracks and quickly becomes unsightly, this is lined with a heavy woven tape that matches the color of the leather perfectly. An added bonus is the removable wrist strap for those times when you do not want or need the shoulder strap. In my last picture, you can see from the zipper tab what the thickness of the leather is and the suppleness is apparent. I am so glad that I took a chance on this bag. It is everything they claimed it to be and I doubt that I could have designed anything more perfect for my specific need. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. It is durable, functional and beautiful! I also see more colors in my future… :-)

Well constructed, nice leather and great color. I do wish it were slightly roomier but I was still able to get a couple of card holders, a cell phone and a few personal items (lip balm, hand sanitizer, etc. inside). The color is beautiful and obviously not just spray painted on. It is lightweight enough to almost forget I have in on (as a crossbody) and is equally comfortable as a wristlet. I don't recall if there was an odor when first received, if so, it dissipated very quickly. Zipper was initially somewhat stiff but moved more freely after a few passes. Definitely considering ordering more colors.

If you're on the fence about purchasing this bag, TAKE MY ADVICE & JUST BUY IT! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! This wristlet is VERY WELL MADE to say the least! I was NOT expecting this level of quality especially given the price. I read other reviews about how great the quality was but I had no idea it was going to be THIS NICE! I enjoy high end clothes, bags, jewelry etc, however I also enjoy saving money wherever I can & feeling like I got a great deal. Who doesn't! It's not often that I 'HIGHLY RECOMMEND' a purchase but this one is a game changer! I will be purchasing more of these as gifts for Christmas & birthdays. Befen truly went ABOVE & BEYOND with this bag! The size is perfect, the straps are very well made with attention to great detail. There's plenty of room for cards, phone, lip gloss/lipstick, mascara etc. The layout has been clearly well thought out. From the smell of the leather (I've actually picked it up several times just to smell of it), the lush, soft feel of the leather, the smooth function of the zippers, the stitching of the lined interior, the heavy duty clasps that attaches the wrist strap & the extended strap...everything puts this bag in the same category with the higher end bags, the "big names" in the bag industry! This bag is well worth every dime & MORE! I'm actually shocked that they can sell this bag at this price. I will forever purchase bags from Befen!

Update: I exchanged the Brown Crazy Horse for the Air Force Blue, and it was much softer and more flexible! Fits everything that I need it to. Incredibly well made, seems like it will last a long time. Very happy! Back to 5 stars for the softer version. I got the Brown Crazy Horse Leather clutch, and I'm very impressed with the quality of this purse, especially for the price. The zippers are very smooth gliding and seem sturdy. The leather is flawless. The whole thing seems very well constructed. I only took off a star for this particular color/leather because it is very stiff, meaning it has no "give" when I'm trying to fill it with my essentials (sunglasses, key fob, phone, a flat wallet, lipstick.) I have another clutch with very similar dimensions that fits all of these items, but I think the difference is that one is more of a supple faux-leather construction. I'm going to return this Brown Crazy Horse leather version and order a pebble leather in the same style, with hopes that it will be more flexible and accommodate more items. It's a great purse at a great price, and I hope I can find one that works for me!

Pros: Nice zipper, lightweight, handy pockets, inexpensive Cons: Definitely not leather as stated, very thin vinyl material, cheap thin strap, cheap hardware I like this for wearing under my jacket while shopping. It’s what I was looking for. I don’t care that it isn’t leather, I didn’t expect it to be…I have those for non-shopping outings. It does bother me that they claim it’s leather. That’s misleading. That said, they couldn’t make a leather purse for so little money.

Bought this to carry cash/cards during a trip to the Christmas Markets in Germany and Austria. It is the perfect size to wear as a cross body under your coat. The strap length is perfect. It IS genuine leather and so soft. I attached the wrist strap to the top zipper for easy opening and closing. I was impressed with the number of pockets and card slots. And, the amount of room the interior offered. Easy to organize essentials. I expected it to be of far less quality for the price, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well made it is. Everything about this bag is perfect!
