I'm so happy with my Medium Crescent in Leopard! The print is gorgeous!! The size is perfect for my daily life. Enough room for my essentials: wallet, sunglasses, Rx, small cosmetic pouch, phone and a couple diapers for my toddler. Cross body strap is a must-have with three little kiddos. I opted to buy a short shoulder strap to swap out for a handbag style. For the price, I wish the short shoulder strap came with the Crescent (the Hobo comes with both straps). My 3 favorite features are: the phone slip pocket (easy access to my phone) double zipper pulls (I can position the zipper closed in the middle of the zipper,vs at one end) and the elastic key leash (this is the first time I've seen an elastic key leash! So clever! The leash stretches out to the door knob! No awkward positions to unlock the door while my keys stay attached to the leash). I've worked in the handbag and luggage industry for 15+ years and I'm pretty picky with my handbag purchases. This one checks all my boxes. 👌

I recently ordered the Large Crescent Bag, my second purchase from Canvelle. Again, I am just so impressed by the fabric, stitching, hardware, and quality of the bag.
Everything is sewn / bonded / connected really well. It has certainly been worth the wait and currency conversion + shipping costs to get this shipped to Australia.

Things I love….
* The material is so light and easily sits on my shoulder or cross body.
* The strap is super comfortable which I have also found with my first purchase of the cross body bag.
* The bag could easily fit a tablet and frank green 500 ml water bottle, change of clothes, kindle etc.
* The secret phone pouch easily fits my iPhone 17 Pro with its protective cover on.
* The front pocket is large and can fit the canvelle wallet and kindle easily. Or…
* The front pocket can also fit the medium flat pouch easily.

Some observations, like some others have commented it would be great if the key leash was longer and above one of the open pockets, like it is on the cross body bag. In the cross body bag use a pocket to tuck in my substantial key chain/keys, so its not swinging around in my bag. With the large Crescent bag, what I have done is tuck the keys into the zip pocket. But if I want to use the zip pocket for another purpose I will probably have to place the keys in the front pocket/pockets of the bag.

Smell. Yes, unfortunately my bag also arrived with a smell and the wallet also had this smell. It seemed to be coming from the lining of the bag. The wallet aired out in less than 30 minutes but the crescent bag did not dissipate as quickly, I was impatient so Iput it through a wash which I was nervous of. The bag dried quickly and the zippers/hardware etc came through perfectly, the smell was gone. I think the use of odour/moisture absorbers would help with this. My cross body bag in leopard print didn’t come with any smell. The smell is like the one you get when you’ve had your clothes dry cleaned and left them in the plastic too long. So its not terrible and does dissipate. For me, this isn’t a problem and I expect little things like that when my parcel has been in transit for 2 weeks but I think checking the storage and plastic wrapping used might be a good idea to prevent an issue in future.

Overall, I love this bag. The reasons being: it is so light, any weight that it has comes from my own choices, the strap is so comfortable, the bag is roomy, the front pocket has the perfect level of organisation and space for storing tissues, glasses cleaners, small flat pouch, anti bacterial wash, wet wipes etc. The main compartment easily fits my 500ml bottle, gym towels with heaps of space left over. The quilted black is flexible to go with any use/outfit etc. The fact that I can just throw it in the washing machine is fantastic.

I love this bag. The shape is great, and it has so many compartments that are well thought out. It’s perfect for everyday use but would also be amazing for travel… it’s the perfect size! I wish I’d had it on my recent trip to Europe. The quality is excellent and I can see this bag lasting a long time!

Absolutely love my new crescent crossbody bag in the cognac/brown color. Super durable, and comfortable even packed with so much stuff including my Kindle! Would love it even more with an interior zipped pocket but that’s just me being picky! Will definitely be getting it in black!
