Just the right size, durable and attractive. This my 4th Maruca bag. I love them all!

I am not a name dropper when it comes to clothing or accessories, however, it is such a delight to see other woman with Maruca Bags, and exchange our delight with Maruca. The sturdiness of my previous ones far exceeded my expectations, and I finally broke down and bought the red ladybug shoulder bag. A tad bigger than previous models, which is perfect. Thank you - and I did enjoy going to your workshop in North Boulder.

I really wanted to give the bag four stars, but I just couldn’t. In fact, both of my daughters said that they would have returned the bag once they saw it due to the issues. I’m going to list below.
Honestly, I’d love the bag if it had a couple of modifications.
I do love this little bag for its fabric, its comfortable strap, its shape, and its overall style, however it definitely suffers and lacks for a few design changes.
Two of those changes would be simple enough to change and make huge differences in the utilitarian nature of the bag.
The zipper:
The zipper needs to extend about an inch to an inch and a quarter down both sides. Doing this would allow the user easier access into the contents of the bag. Currently, its design makes it very difficult to open the bag and get into the bottom. (The design nature of the bag itself means that things like your wallet, small cosmetic bag and the like have to nestle down at the bottom..)The small zipper opening makes it extremely difficult to access items.
Key fobs:
In today’s day and time, every bag desperately needs a place to hang your key fob. Be it a little sewn in ring or little fabric loop, something, that will be a safe place to attach your key fob, that is easily accessible. Not everyone owns a Tesla, LoL.
My third suggestion would be a phone sized pocket stitched onto the backside of the bag. I realize that you intend the front pocket to be used as the cell phone pocket, but sometimes you don’t want your phone to be at all visible.
On the fence and hoping for future design changes…
I remain, g

This bag was so small that all I could fit was my wallet

Love the pockets. Beautiful fabric.
