Fjallraven

High Coast Crossbody Bag

Good bag let down by poor strap

Generally a nice looking, very lightweight and capacious bag. I got the burgundy which is a great colour, and found it very useful for a recent trip to Spain. I could fit a large phone, keys, passport, wallet, kindle, sunglasses, 350ml water bottle, power bank and cable, small fan, tissues and more. It’s got just the right amount of organisation- two small mesh pockets, and internal zip pocket and larger extzip pocket. In a perfect world I think a rear secure pocket would be useful. Sadly the strap really lets it down. It’s far too short, very thin, and the padded section (which isn’t really padded at all) doesn’t move - so you can’t even wear it as a sling. I really wish fjallraven could remember tall people also exist. I’m 185cm tall and the bag was in line with my rib cage at the longest extension. Fortunately, it is removable, and a strap from Passenger saved the day.

Awesome bag

I wanted a crossbody bag that was small but functional. This one fit the bill. Perfect size to carry everything I need. I don’t like fancy, just functional. The extra strap on top is handy to just quick grab. And the blackberry color is beautiful.

Great Bag

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

This is the third of these bags I have purchased. They are perfect for travel or short trips where you don't need to bring all of the stuff you normally carry in your purse. I can fit a small water bottle, tissue, id/credit cards, lipstick/lipbalm, sunscreen powder and glasses no problem. I probably use the orange one the most because it's easy to see, but the other colors are nice also.

Looking for a unicorn

Seems like this bag would be perfect if it had a back slip pocket for your phone instead of the weird loop.

Great size and durability

I love this bag. It holds more than you might guess. When using as an everyday purse, it handily carries my wallet, cell phone, keys, inhaler, chapstick, eyedrops, sunglasses, headphones and a granola bar or two. I've tested it and it can also handle a 16oz Nalgene, though that's pushing its limits. When traveling, I also add three passports and it doesn't feel overstuffed or too heavy. The slightly padded strap is great. The internal organization is enough without being too much. It's also pretty durable - I wear it while playing at the playground with my toddler, throw it around at the climbing gym, drop it on the floor constantly, etc. It's taken quite a beating but has held up pretty well in terms of not ripping or tearing.

I have had this bag for almost a year and a half. I like the size as it can fit most of my EDC , the handle on top and it is also light weight. It has some wear and tear at the front (small tear lines) but I use it almost everyday. I would like a G-1000 version of this bag as it is my favourite material Fjalraven uses.

Love it

Great, lots of room and very comfortable to use. Simple design great quality. My i phone wallet and other items fit perfectly. Great everyday bag. I highly recommend.

High Coast Crossbody stitch fails

I love my HIgh Coast Crossbody in bright yellow. I have had a lot of compliments and it is perfect for quick shopping, etc. I am unhappy that after only about 3 months, the stitching around the zipper on the front pocket is coming loose! I see no reason for this to happen unless wrong stitch length was chosen when being made. It seems like a big hassle to get this rectified!

So close to perfect!

Love it but the strap needs to be longer or make a strap that can be purchased separately that’s longer. , It sits at a weird spot and I’m only 5’6” so I’m not sure who it is designed for. Otherwise, I love the bag!

Perfect for daily use!

I purchased this September 2023 and started using it almost immediately as my daily bag. I wear it as a crossbody and love where it rests (just above my hip) so it’s more attached to me. My phone, foldable wallet, pack of antibacterial wet wipes, pack of tissues, keys, lip balm, mini first aid case, and a few more small miscellaneous items fit in there. It’s now late November 2024 and you can see the wear and tear. The bag itself is still very much usable but there are visible scratches and a part of the logo on the front is starting to lift at the edges. It seems to be cosmetic for now. I do love how it’s easy to clean! I accidentally left chocolate inside and it melted. I just used a wet wipe and it got most all of it out! Not sure if the scratches are a norm for just about 14 months, but I still do love the purse.
