    Perfect bag is perfect!

    This is my second Bantam, and it continues to be the perfect bag for carrying my essentials: phone, wallet, keys, wireless earbuds. I can also tuck my Kindle and charging cables in and it’s the perfect seat back bag for airplane travel. I love the glossy black material, and appreciate the low profile. You can’t go wrong with this one!

    Love!

    Beautiful bag - love the material! Large enough to carry needed essentials for times when i do not need to carry many or large items. Fits my EPI-pens, phone, keys, and a small wallet . Lightweight -easy- casual bag. I like the option to wear as crossbody, in another bag , or around the waist.

    Excellent essentials bag

    Excellent little bag that I use as wallet. Love the o rings. I clip my keys to it with a 16inch long key hook. Sling this bag over your head and basically forget about it…instead of forgetting/loosing your keys. Size is just right and I never feel like it digs into my neck or shoulders. It holds just what you need and the zipper always stays upright. It never flips around/ upside down. Easy to clean and love the material. I bought this bag to go with my Synik 30. If I’m not wearing this little bantam,I slip it into the Synik 30’s large water bottle pocket.
