What is it? An expandable purse/bag to conveniently organize personal items.

Rating: Works As Advertised

First of all Buxton has been making leather products for over 100 years, and have a good reputation. This particular Buxton Bag is a small genuine leather purse/bag with numerous compartments of various sizes. Its most useful feature, beyond all the utility of the many compartments, is its expandability when needed. Like some suitcases, it has zippers along the sides that when opened allow the bag more room to put larger items inside, and when not needed, the bag can be very trim and sleek.

In our video evaluation we took the entire contents of a much larger purse, and were able to fit everything inside the Buxton Bag with no trouble. We shot the video in one continuous take so the viewer can be assured that everything that came out of the big bag made it into the smaller one.

A very handy feature of the Buxton Bag is a pocket on the shoulder strap for a cell phone, so the user doesn’t have to go digging through a purse to answer a call, or fail to hear an incoming call ring due to a phone being buried inside a large purse. We used a Motorola Razor for our evaluation, and it fit with plenty of room to spare, so even a larger cell phone could be accommodated.

There are seven major compartment areas within the bag, including the cell phone pocket, of which several of the larger ones are lined with multiple sleeves for holding pens, credit cards, business cards, etc. Two of the large zippered pockets have mesh sections so you can easily see what’s inside them.

The adjustable-length canvas shoulder strap is approximately one and a half inches wide, which many users may really appreciate if the bag is full and heavy, i.e. not cutting into the shoulder as much as a thin strap would. The bag may be worn slung over one shoulder, like a traditional purse, or with the head through the strap, across the chest, sash-style, for greater security.

We found this product works as advertised.
