'Almost Perfect' Koala Sling Bag

Brought the medium size Koala in Bone to Disney and it worked out great! Nice and secure feeling. I was even able to put my water bottle in if I kept it open. Fit just enough not to be too heavy.

I love this purse. I got a pebbled leather (Naples) and it is so soft. The magnetic closure is surprisingly strong too. Can’t wait to use it this spring!

This bag is exactly what I’ve been needing/wanting in a purse! I got the small so I would not be tempted to overstuff it, but it still holds everything I actually NEED to have with me every day. It’s easy to open and close with the very strong magnetic closure (yes you can even turn it completely upside down when fully stuffed and it stays shut!) it’s easy to see inside when you open it so you can find your stuff, and I love the easy to change carry options!! The slider adjustment on the strap is fast to change strap length. And for me, it’s plenty long enough. I have a small child, so I’m often leaning over and my bag will fall off my shoulder or spill out its contents or get in the way. With this I can quickly use it crossbody, long shoulder carry, shorter under the arm carry or sling style, depending on the circumstances. Looks cute all the ways! And the color! Bacalar is so soft, rich and pretty! And it’s a color that looks good with lots of other colors. I’ve gotten several compliments on my bag so far, partly for the style and partly for the color. For organization, I use a zip tight belt bag (minus the strap) as a purse divider, carry a small pinch pouch, sunglasses, mini envelope wallet, two phones, and various other small odds and ends and my keys. The only thing I wish this bag had is the snap key loop like my koala bag has. Then it would be totally perfect!! I added a d-ring clasp to the inside of one strap connector to hold my keys, but the snaps are easier to use.

I snagged the medium Koala in cowboy blue the moment it was released. I had wanted something in this color & I thought this would be it. Though adorable, the smooth leather was too stiff for my taste & use-case. When new suedes or pebbles are released in a color I’m interested in, I’ll try again. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s slouchy pebbled Koalas—that’s exactly what I’m looking for!

I absolutely love this new style. I got the large in Meadow and the size is perfect for me for every day carry. I was worried about how the magnet closure would work. But it’s very strong as long as the magnets are lined up. No issues with opening or closing. This is my new favorite style

Koala is the purse I never knew I needed! It is gorgeous, sits up nicely and is the perfect crossbody bag. My large bifold and kindle with case fit in easily. The size and shape are deceptive—Koala holds much more than expected and is super easy to open one handed.

There is something really fun about opening this bag. That might be a niche experience but it's super fun to open the bag and just gaze inside. My impression of the conversation in the Insiders group is you might like the bag more or less depending on your size. I think as a quick grab and go bag, it's awesome but you certainly can't overstuff it and expect it to look as nice. I would factor in your needs into whether this is a good bag for you or not.

I was so excited for the koala and it did not disappoint. It’s so comfortable and easy! Love the space of the large and how it sits on my body, whether I wear it cross body or shoulder!

I am obsessed with this bag! I love a sling bag and this one is so comfortable to wear. The large is a little big on my petite frame, but the medium is a dream. Fits a taco, taco keychain, euro wallet, face mask, my phone, and lip balm perfectly! It also fits my passport holder with accompanying passports, but those make it feel a little heavy. This has been my most consistent carry as of late! The Naples color is awesome, I’m calling this my banana bag. Highly recommend! I wasn’t drawn to this bag initially, but I’m so glad I tried it out.

I bought the almost perfect, large, Koala bag in Bacalar, and it’s beautiful! I’m not even sure I know what’s “wrong” with it. It’s a great size and I love the option to buy slightly imperfect items at a reduced priced.

I’m a baggu girlie but I’ve never liked how their leather bags have the nylon strap. This is what I’ve been waiting for. I have the large and it’s super slouchy, hugs to the body, fits everything, and the magnetic closure is strong! Molino is really pretty and a total chameleon.

I had to buy one in each size: Medium in Bone and Large in Chili Red. These are very roomy and the Koala style is adorable!! ❣️

The Naples medium Koala is the perfect everyday bag in a bright pop of color. It fits all of my purse essentials with room to spare. The magnetic closure is firm and I don’t worry about it coming open. Naples is so squishy with beautiful pebbles. My AP bag even has a hide stamp, making it all the more perfect.

So comfortable to carry! Even being a plus size gal, it is a perfect for. The magnet are strong and hold even when tipped upside down.
