Measuring 4.13 inches by 7.2 inches by 0.79 inches, the JW Pei Phone Crossbody Bag fits most smartphones within its petite frame (Note: most reviewers said that it was difficult to fit their iPhone 12 smartphones and any model newer with a case on). The bag has a main compartment that’s dedicated to your smartphone and important documents like event tickets, boarding passes, receipts, and more; its contents stay secure thanks to the bag’s magnetic snap closure tab, which simultaneously adds a touch of luxe to the bag with its gold hardware.
Typically, the JW Pei Phone Crossbody Bag’s additional storage features differ depending on the color and material you choose. But the light blue canvas version that’s been restocked has three slots on the back of the bag, as well as a small, discreet zippered pocket. It’s also equipped with a sturdy shoulder strap with a handle drop of 20.5 inches.
