The bag looks compact but holds a ton due to its efficient compartments. It has so many well designed pockets - there is a spot for all your necessities. I carry my wallet, keys, lip balm, reusable small tote, phone, masks, and more. A small paperback book even fits nicely. The zipper pulls are easy to add with help from you tube videos. The only complaint (and it’s minor) is the color. It’s more brown or dirty orange than the orange I was expecting.

Years I tell you....decades even...I've been looking for a purse that would fit a Moleskine notebook, pens and colored pencils, a small pouch filled with essentials (band-aids, sunscreen, lipstick, aspirin, mints), keys, a phone and a Kindle. In a bag that looks equally chic at the Everett grocery store as it does in a Parisian museum. I've spent a lot of money buying purses that I think will work, only to make compromises.

I finally found THE ONE. The Side Kick is a timeless square shape and not overly branded (the TB logo rests demurely on the sides). I bought black, which goes with everything. The adjustable shoulder strap allows you to wear it as a crossbody bag or cinch it up as a traditional preppy lady purse tucked under the armpit.

And oh my gawd the inside organization makes my bag lady heart swoon. There is a pocket for everything and four o rings to gorge on key straps, which wow I never thought I'd get so much pleasure from lashing straps to more little bags inside a bigger bag. And just because TB can, they put a zippered pocket on the outside, too, and there's another o ring in there. Glorious!

Of course, the quality is the best. This baby is going with me around the world and every stop in between. I have no doubt she'll rise to the challenge, delighting me every time I look inside at her beautiful Moab lining (which reminds me of my home state of Utah). I'm so excited to have found you, Side Kick. Thank you Tom Bihn!

This is the purse of my dreams. The purse I’ve been waiting for all my life. All other purses owned, up until now, have only been minor players when compared to this Star of Stars.

The perfect size, shape and color. It holds everything without looking stuffed and yet there’s room for the occasional extra item that needs to be carried. And, even then it doesn’t look a bit overweight.

It’s tough and flexible, over the shoulder, crossbody and with accessory, around the waist. The lining inside is light colored so things inside doesn’t get lost in the darkness. Just enough pockets and clips to keep it organized and easy.

My Perfect Purse. Thanks Tom Bihn. 😘

I haven’t use this bag yet but I love the way it’s made. I will use it as a purse when I’m traveling or hiking when the littler everyday bag that I got and also love is too small for my needs on that day. Great organizing options with this bag. I can also see using it as a kit bag for crafts hobbies or similar when on the go.

I use this as a waist pack and have everything tethered. When I sit in my airplane seat, I securely have everything I need for a long flight. It attaches to the seat in front. When I get to my destination, it fits in the room safe.
