Mini Bag, Maxi Style


The Arcade is two bags in one: a crossbody sling and a belt bag. It’s available in elegant neutral shades, trendy camouflage patterns, vibrant red, army green, and a gorgeous rich burgundy, making it super hard to pick just one.

You will get a lot of mileage out of this marvelous mini bag because it is the perfect hands-free bag to grab when you want to travel light without feeling weighed down by a hefty handbag. A huge bonus is that the low-maintenance silky soft nylon twill fabric easily wipes clean.

There’s enough room within the two zippered compartments to carry a mobile phone, glasses, a small wallet, and a few other essentials.

Although I adore the Arcade for its practicality, style, and quality fabric, I’d love to see Shorty Love add a slightly longer strap and a small outer zippered pocket for quick access to keys. Nevertheless, I’m a fan of this hybrid crossbody/belt bag. The Arcade is the French Bulldog of handbags: cute, compact, and highly portable!
