I take this bag everywhere with me. I take it to the gym. I take it on grocery runs. I take it out to dinner. The ShortyLOVE Small Cruiser is a game changer. I have put it through the wringer over the past few weeks and it holds up beautifully.
The first thing you’ll notice? The material. It’s made from silky, water-resistant nylon inspired by bomber jackets—and yes, it feels just as luxe as it sounds. The quilted wave pattern adds a cool, modern texture, and the whole thing drapes softly against your body instead of sitting stiff or boxy.
And the colors… the colors. ShortyLOVE absolutely nailed the palette. You can go classic with Black or Midnight, lean earthy with Sage or Pewter, keep it soft and airy with Milky Grey, or make a punchy statement with Orange. I ultimately went with Bordeaux, which has this rich, deep, wine-toned elegance that somehow works with literally everything I wear: athleisure, denim, dresses, you name it.
For a compact bag (about 6″ x 9″), it holds a surprising amount. There are four built-in card slots, a signature red zip pocket for the little things, a roomy main compartment, and even a key leash. That last one might just be my favorite feature; no more digging around for keys while also juggling a coffee, a phone, etc. There’s also a hidden pocket on the back that’s perfect for cash, a passport, or anything you want to keep close.
The wide woven nylon strap adjusts easily to whatever length you prefer. If you’re heading out for the evening, just unclip it and you’ve got a perfectly chic quilted clutch.
It’s lightweight, stylish, easy to clean, and genuinely makes my day-to-day smoother. Honestly, it might be the most practical (and best-looking) bag I’ve ever owned. If you’re looking for a bag that can go from yoga class to cocktail hour without skipping a beat, this is the one.
