Great little bag that can either be used as a normal shoulder bag, or attached to your belt. There are two different ways to do this: through the loop at the back of the bag, or use the pin-mounted key clip. Also, another fun way to use your bag, would be to make the strap smaller and wear it around your waist like a fanny pack. It can be placed in front or to either side. I love it on the side. It is small enough to be out of the way and can hold quite a bit for it's size. A great run-around bag or just chilling in the beach with your book. Being canvas means that it can be washed and dried out on the line. Give one a go, I definitely give it a 👍
