hI it's Shen here from mama banana. welcome back to my channel
today I have a really really fun video for you I will be reviewing the brand new crossbody
handbag from Miss Fong . it is gorgeous I will be sharing some hacks and tips with you on how
you can wear this a different way to really free up your hands and arms okay when out and about
and as well as that okay this video is in collaboration with my friend Nadya
over in love fluffy bums so make sure to check out her channel after you watch this video she will be
sharing a video with you on how to pack this bag up okay so let's get straight into today's video.
so here is the brand new Miss Fong cross body bag it is absolutely gorgeous
the vegan leather is just so soft and squishy and it's nice and thick so it feels really luxurious I
actually can't believe it's not leather it just feels so real it even has the fine brain on it
let's see if I can show you there at the bottom of the screen here I just have a standard 12
inch ruler that's just so you can see the size of everything um but the bag is 24 centimeters wide
and it is about centimeters deep 18 centimeters high okay but let's go through all the features
pockets etc within this bag okay so the bag comes with a double strap okay so there are 2d rings in
the front 2d rings in the back and there are two long straps I have to say initially I thought that
this would be too much that i'll end up i'll just use the one strap so i'll cross one strap here to
the front and one to the back of these rings um but actually I love the funky look of it
so if you have a young baby and your hands are full you might want to just use the one strap
try it out but i'm using it with the two straps because it just looks so funky it's so different
I haven't seen another bag like it so obviously these are removable it has an old lobster clasp
which is really cool so it's all gold hardware throughout the bag i'm just going to take these
straps off okay um the straps are a really good length i'm going to measure these straps
after the recording and put the length down here so you can see how long the straps are
but they are adjustable there are one two three four five yep five little and adjustable holes
in it there are two these little notes and there's two little loops to keep your straps in
okay and same on the other side and for both of these straps and then it does not come with them
a little back charm I attached this but this is a Miss Fong charm and oh my god it is so
soft so dense and like no fur comes out of this at all I highly recommend it okay so i'm just
going to take that off the front loop and there are two little funky side pockets these are
absolutely perfect for keeping tissue lip balm anything that you would grab quite frequently
they go in they almost meet in the center here and they go all the way from the top to the
bottom okay and I have the um signature Miss Fong and love and peace collection long straps okay
these are actually they just make it look so funky I think it looks so cool and then in the front
there is a slip pocket and there is a magnetic closure I will zoom in on that how satisfying is
that that pocket goes all the way to the bottom and it is about this wide okay so almost a full
width of the bag here and then on the front i've got to say it has the Miss Fong logo
autumn winter 2011 love and peace it's so detailed so pretty I love it it looks absolutely gorgeous
and then it has these d-rings here if you were to wear just one strap crossover from front to
back so whichever d-ring you're not using you can just tuck that in which is handy but I think
even if I wasn't using one I would hang the bag charm off it okay and then at the back
there is a lip pocket this is perfect for the likes of your phone or anything else important
and there is another open pocket that closes with magnetic closure handy for wallet coin purses
and then just turn this around again okay and then
there is a zip opening which is great to keep everything secure and okay if you needed full
access to open this all the way you can pull the zip out and then open it all the way and you
can see inside here and they have full access to everything now just a quick tip okay if you don't
want to open the bag the whole way or you don't like the zip tab sticking out and you prefer
tucked in I would suggest when you do open it okay you just pinch the bag here and then you just open
the bag close the bag up and close up and close just by pinching it here you won't get to open
it all the way too much and then you can easily close it when the bag is sitting there on its own
and that's what it's all about making lives easier from alarms so just
because if you pull it up too much like this then um it's a bit more awkward to close
just have to hold on to the top here to close it so I always pinch it to open
okay now i'm just gonna pull the zip tab out so you can see everything inside
um as always I actually use the Kipling creativity pouch this is in the large size
because obviously I have a lot of bags and I need to switch between them all quickly and easily
so this is all my essentials that I bring with me for everything i'm not going to go through the
contents but things like wallets lip balm tissues etc if you want to see a packing video I highly
recommend checking out my friends Nadya's channel for a packing video her channel is love fluffy
bombs okay it's actually great to kind of see how other moms pack these bags up to give you an idea
and everything so anyway back to the bag there are two bottle pockets either side of the inside
okay and these are insulated bottle pockets i'm going to show you what it fits so here I have
a skip hop bottle uh with no handles that obviously fits fine but this is a bit tall
so when you do close it up you can't close the zip all the way but as you can see here the slip sits
snug up to the bottle so that's fine um then um I have the ever popular tommy tipI cups sippy cups
and it does have two handles normally but I thought my husband cut saw one off all our
tommy tp cups because I just thought they were too wide and awkward and with just the one handle okay
that fits into the bottle pocket there no problem and then obviously you can zip the bag closed okay
and then I have um this tall tummy teepee bottle and that's perfect as well to use within uh
let's see if it sits closed not really okay okay and then on the front inside there are these
two open pockets okay um I usually keep snacks etc in them we bring snacks out with us all the
time and then on the inside there is a little zip pocket I want to see if I can show you.
the zip after this to the back here and I will open that
also has the beautiful gold hardware i'm gonna show you the zips up close okay
but these are all hinged which is so cool and then make them easier to open as well
and but that pocket goes all the way down to the bottom and is pretty much the full width of the
bag to the seams as well so these are all nice big pockets this is perfect for all the little
small bits and bobs that you may have or even your coin personal wallet anything valuable so the zips
here on the front pocket and on the inside zip pocket they are hinged to their hinge here so
you can see it just makes them that bit easier to open when they can bend to different angles
um and then they back pocket on the main zip here it just has a leather tab on the back and there's
no hinge here it is on a d loop so it's also very very adjustable and bendable very easy to use
and then first size comparisons I have some other bags here from Jujube just to show you so this is
a jujube Be quick this is actually going to be a large bag and does it fit yeah it fits
but you have to squish it and then you can't fit too much else but if you want to bring like two
changes to clothes whatever with you for the kids then you can fit that in and it will sit closed
so obviously if that fit then the Jujube large set piece is gonna fit yes it fits very comfortably
and then let's pop it in a medium set piece as well from Jujube fits and a small step piece
as well and of course everything fits in comfortably and yes will it zip boom yes
and then just to show you as well the jujube small set piece will fit in these zip pockets so they
are perfect for helping to organize anything that you want and do keep in mind that these bottle
pockets you can put anything you want in them but um for me I won't be using the bottle pocket on
the left i'll be squishing that closed and then tucking my zipper tab in so it'll be awkward to
access that and purely because I don't need it I don't need two bottle pockets so has promised
here is a really cool hack on how to wear your Miss Fong crossbody bag to be completely hands
and arms free without it getting in your way so here is the biggest cluster having the two straps
it's not just for fashion so loop an arm through each hole like how do you do it with a backpack
like so and then you have a really cool low rising backpack
so just make sure you have your bag zipped up so nothing will fall out as you're running around
with the kids all right i've this is a tried and tested hack I actually wore my bag like this in
town the other day whilst running errands with both of my toddlers and we're walking around
and both of them took on different arms the only time it came off was when the youngest was very
persistent and going in the opposite direction but any bag would have kind of come off my arm
in that way but let me know if you actually tried this hack okay and if you have any photographs
do share them with me on instagram tag me @somamabanana on instagram all right i'd
love to see when people use my hacks because I just come up with them all over the place and it
would be great to see someone trying them out here is how the bag looks as a crossbody bag.
Thank you so much for watching my review of the Miss Fong crossbody bag. I hope you enjoyed the
winter wonderland backdrop of Ireland right now and next week I will be reviewing the skip
hop zoo backpack for toddlers and preschoolers they are so cute I love them and the best part is
they fit me not for me to wear but for me to carry when the kids are sick of carrying their own bags
okay so make sure to check out my friend Nadya's channel at love fluffy bombs she'll be
