I'm not used to wearing a crossbody, so I thought it was just me until I saw other reviews. The strap isn't comfortable, and it's not practical to use this as a shoulder bag. The strap also often lengthens all the way to the biggest, and I thought user error. Not a super big deal as I haven't found ...what length is most comfortable and practical for me anyway. I am not in love with the pale yellow color simply because I don't want it to get dirty, and it's not going to coordinate with much of my wardrobe. However, I knew going in that this color choice was nonreturnable because of the sale. I think it was worth buying at around $25 including shipping to see if I even liked this bag design and size before committing to a much more expensive color. It's summer, so it's a lightly cheery and fitting color for the season. If I wear it as a crossbody and keep it light in weight, I shouldn't have a need to set it down much. I'm particular when it comes to bags, and I rarely see anything I want. I hate receiving a bag I hate and having to go through a return process or just donating it. I haven't seen styles I like much since the 90s and 2000s. I'd been using a bucket bag I am fond of, but I was carrying too much around, hurting my shoulder, and leaving myself open to theft by setting it down places including shopping carts. I wanted to downsize and am carrying less than half of what I was previously. I'm trying to treat my bag as a purse and not survival gear. So, I was open to trying something completely different from my usual taste. Despite my best efforts, this bag already got a dot of a dirty spot on it just from heading to the car the first time. Facepalm. I know it's going to be difficult to keep it completely clean. Besides that and the uncomfortable strap, I do really like this bag. The material is soft. Everything is contained with zipper enclosures. I can carry what I need with plenty more room left over. It's generous for a medium. Just the right size.
I am a long-term, loyal customer of Athleta, having shopped with the company for many years. I usually do not write bad reviews but would like to share a deeply disappointing recent experience, particularly for international customers who use a freight forwarding service. My most recent order arriv...ed with three items completely missing from the package. I immediately contacted customer service to report the issue. My claim was denied almost instantly, with no explanation provided. The customer service agent then suggested that I dispute the charge with my bank or the freight company. This is unacceptable. The package arrived with the original Athleta seal intact, and the shipping label clearly stated a weight of 0.2 kg. It is physically impossible for four items, including All About Medium Crossbody Hobo bag, to weigh so little. The mistake was clearly made by Athleta during the fulfillment process. To have a simple, verifiable claim denied so quickly and to be brushed off in this manner is a terrible way to treat a customer. This experience has completely eroded my trust and loyalty.

The outside pocket can hold what your separate purse would … large pocket holds an iPad etc. not too oversized for a petite person.

The bag is very cute. I usually avoid light colors, but I chose the light green to break up my black-gray-white wardrobe. I brought it on a trip to Boston and New York, and it held everything I needed for daily outings without feeling bulky. It's a great travel companion. Just don't expect a highly engineered travel bag. The strap loosens and ends up too long; I had to knot it, and even that didn't hold perfectly. The zipper would be better if it opened from the opposite side—when a taller bottle sits in the internal holder, the bag doesn't zip easily, and you have to open it wide just to reach your drink. The exterior pocket has a key clip, which is useful, but it needs a detachable or stretchy keychain because it's too short to unlock doors while attached. Not a major issue, just mildly inconvenient. It's less practical than a backpack or sling, but it's definitely cuter. Avoid putting a large water bottle inside; it makes wearing it crossbody uncomfortable. Overall comfort is good—not great—but good enough. The sale price is excellent and makes the bag worth it.

It arrived with gross speckles all over it and completely dirty, like someone used it then returned it. I immediately returned it as well. Please do better.

The adjustable strap is too long and I don't like the way it hangs down the side. Needs some way to fold it or tuck it.

I tried it on in the store, perfect size for me because I'm a toddler mom. Enough room to throw diapers & snacks in but looked cute. Loved the look of it so I bought it, took it home, made the purse switch then wore it the next day. SO ANNOYING, keeps sliding because of the "buckle", was this a misstep or on purpose? No matter how much you adjust it, it keeps sliding down so it hangs down past my hips. I'm 5'2" so if you're taller, it might not be a big deal. I should've just returned it!! I usually love all of my Athleta pieces.

I bought this bag for a trip to Spain and Portugal. Good size bag, can hold everything I need. Love the water bottle mesh pocket. It is water resistant to some degree. I can easily clean it with a wet wipe. The navy color is beautiful! I tied a knot on the end of the strap to prevent it from coming loose. Very happy with my purchase!

I wanted to love this bag. But the the strap constantly loosens while you are wearing it. Extremely annoying! This needs to be redesigned. Returning unfortunately

The heavier the contents the more the strap slips. I had to insert safety pins under the strap to keep in place. The result… longer bag drop than desired. For the cost this shouldn't happen.

As a mom on the go, this bag is perfect for running between sporting events and practices. It's waterproof and can wipe clean easily. It's also the perfect size to keep all my essentials, chapstick, motrin and snacks!
