Crosssbody Bag

Original post Edited: I have recently recieved a personal apology from the company about my product defects, and they have sent me a free replacement. I have to say that their customer service is pretty diligent. I am will add a star for this purpose.I loved this purse when I first bought it 3 weeks ago. It is very pretty, but only reflects the holographic colors with a major light source. Either way, I thought it was super cute. However, 3 weeks later with just regular daily use, it is starting to fall apart. Materials are cheap. For about $25, I didn't expect it to last an entire year, but I definitely hoped it would at least last one full month! No bueno! Also, it came with a card that says if you give the product a good review, the company will send you a little bag for free. This is the second item of theirs that I purchased. I never received the "free item" from my initial purchase.

Update:Several months later and this bag is still holding up really well (even after I closed the strap in the car door a couple times). I still love it and use it all the time. I'm still getting lots of compliments. I bought the smaller clutch, too. It's super cute and stylish but I haven't used it yet because I usually just use the larger bag. I highly recommend these bags! I want to try the colorful one 😃.Original review:This is such a cool bag! I really like how light-weight it is (especially after the last handbag I had that seemed to weigh several pounds). It is beautiful and unique. I've gotten a lot of inquiries and compliments. I would say there are two things that I don't love about it: the lining feels really cheap (plastic-like) and the small handles don't flop down when you're not using them.... So they just kind of awkwardly stick up.

This bag is beautiful and works well as a laptop carrier. It has a single small pouch inside that fits a few things you don't want to dig around for, like earbuds and a thin wallet. However, the straps are awful. Although they are 'adjustable' the holes are only two inches apart; even at their longest setting, the bag barely fits around my shoulder. So it is always falling off my arm. The straps never lay flat and always get twisted. It becomes very aggravating to take this bag anywhere if I don't want to carry it in my hand. Because the straps can't be removed, I can't replace them with something else. I can't recommend this bag for anything more than brief outings, like carrying from the car and into a cafe which I do.

I love this bag. Its like a reflective grey when the light isnt hitting it directly (1st pic). You can see its highly reflective when light hits it (2nd pic); pretty cool. Its well made and I was even really happy with the packaging, it was really impressive. You can tell the bag was packaged with care and on the plus side the packaging is eco-friendly. It shipped quickly with no problems. The company, Tikea, was also very responsive.

Just received this purse the other day, so haven't yet rated it for durability, but it is not a flimsy design. The texture and natural color of the cork is lovely and make for a conversation piece. My husband thinks it looks like leather from a short distance, though my interest is in finding creative and beautiful alternatives to animal skin. The cork is one such alternative, natural and eco-friendly, too. The geometric design in black is the most obvious point of interest, and it gives the bag a contemporary appeal that goes well with my wardrobe of solid colors and unexpected twists on pocket placement and hem design. Recommended for someone who doesn't wear a lot of busy patterns.

Nice lightweight bag with a super cool WOW feature. Envelope style with a zippered compartment separating the 2 sides. Large pocket on the front and second zippered compartment on the back. Everything stays organized instead of one big mishmosh. My only gripe is the chain is not long enough for me to use as a crossbody. I’m 5’8” & it sits right under my boobage instead of on my hip, and it’s cold when you first put it on. Great on my shoulder though. Love when the light hits it just right and it glows bright. I’m the star in photos with flash!

I get so many compliments on this bag!! I use it on my wheelchair so I don’t have to constantly reach back into my backpack for my ID or a lipstick touch up. I love the geo look and how it changes colors in the light: the first picture is without flash and the second picture is with :) It’s so much fun!! Definitely recommend!!

Absolutely love this bag. I just received mine today. It looks just like the picture. I was so excited to receive it and guess what? It is everything that I hoped it would be. For me, the colors are brilliant and vibrant. It’s the right size for my needs. It is very well made and I am happy it has a zipper. I also appreciate the sturdiness of the straps. I can’t wait to show it off. My daughter and friends will just flip. Thank you TIKEA!

I really, really like this bag. The cork version is quirky and I love both the shape and the design of the material.However, the company offered me a free additional product if I left a 5 star review, with another free gift if I added a video. I just find this distasteful. If you're reading this you, like me, read reviews in order to decide whether or not to buy. If companies essentially 'buy' 5-star reviews then the system falls down. It's a shame because they actually have a good product and they don't need to do this. Rant over.

The media could not be loaded.  I love my new Tikea Geometric bag and purse. In daylight they are a subtle grey/black that change to muted purples, greens and pinks when catching the light. They really come alive at night though reflecting different colours as the light moves. I have tried to capture this in the video. They still catch my eye and make me stop and stare each time I see them and I have had loads of compliments! The bag is large enough to hold everything I need and the over the shoulder strap helps with comfort and the purse has plenty of compartments for cards and money.

I have a bit of a collection of bags of this type, including an outlet mall purchase of a real (or very good fake) of an Issey Miyake Bao Bao bag from Hong Kong.This bag is great value for money and the reflective colours are attractive. As it goes I also like the grey colour which is the "default" in low light.It has a sturdy zip so you can carry your things around and feel more secure in doing so. You can fit a book, a tablet, and all your essentials such as makeup, phone, wallet etc.

The media could not be loaded.  Amazing very strong and lots of room. 2 inside pockets and 1 zipped pocket and a big zip across the bag. This unique work of art will make you stand out from the crowd and Glow!!You will love this bag as much as I do. Showed everyone and one of my friends have now brought one.

The media could not be loaded.  So happy with this purchase! It can be used as a clutch or as a cross-body bag with the supplied chain - the zip is sturdy and the hooks for the chain are well made. Love the use of sustainable cork and the product is packaged in a recyclable envelope, too. The geometric design is not only attractive, but it also allows for interesting folds depending on the content - with the gusseted base, it's also surprisingly capacious (and the inner zipped pocket is a handy addition. Love it!
