T+M Travel X-Body Insulated Bottle Bag Lighter Leopard Print

Aesthetically this bag is very pleasing to the eye, but when considering its cost I just cannot justify its price point. Why? It has some (my opinion only), design flaws that have sadly stopped it from being a really practical, 'must have' accessory.
Why did I purchase it? The fabric alone was enough, and it didn't disappoint me. It is beautiful. The carry strap is also a nice feature, is well made, comfortable to wear, and the securing clasps are a sturdy metal.
Flaws? I find it strange the metal bag strap clips attach to plastic fittings on the bag itself. It feels half hearted. The bag hardware (strap clips, bag attachments, drawcord closure etc) should all be of the same material.
As cited in the product description "The 'handy front zip pocket provides space for keys, cards, or snacks - because you’ve got enough to juggle"...
My smart phone doesn't fit in the front pocket. I can just about get my keys in with some manoeuvring.
I had a daydream of a pretty 'its all I need' bag, Bottle in - Tick, Mobile Phone in - Tick, Card in - Tick, Keys in - Tick.
I didn't expect to cram it full. But all I can really seem to actually use it for is a bottle, and I still have to take another bag.... but hang on! I could just put everything in the other bag and then not have to carry two.
Dear T + M, please consider that sadly our little necessities (technology etc) have got bigger as the years pass, so our pockets, pouches, and beautiful practical accessories also need to be a little bigger too or we just end up weighed down carrying too many bags x

Absolutely thrilled with my purchase it is gorgeous. I am so impressed I have just order the Cool Bag to match.

It's beautiful and practical 😊
