Koala Sling Bag

Koala is my new favorite! I absolutely ADORE the magnetic closure and how WIDE this opens. The large easily carries my essentials and then some. The color Orchid is stunning. I love this bag so much I just ordered another in Bone and who knows, might need Koala triplets. Note: The medium has one inner pocket which will fit a phone. The large has two pockets which is a large pocket with a seam in the middle. My phone does not fit, but a gordita does and my readers at an angle. Minor drawback and not a deal breaker for the large. In posts, the large seems like you have more room right to left whereas the medium, things are stacked front to back down the middle.

I love the new medium Koala sling!! Seems I was waiting for just this size for a long time! It's big enough to carry more than just the essentials, yet not at all bulky. It's a perfect on the go silhouette with lots of cool style! I own it in the color Naples. Great purchase!

Thirsty minimalist uses Osprey Daylite Sling for most settings desired a nicer leather non-backpack non-tote non-trad purse option for my 40 oz hydroflask. W the flip top lid it’s a bit too big but w the regular flat lid it fits just fine! Still plenty of room for smaller items around it. Easily fits my 40 oz narrow neck non-insulated Kleen Kanteen. Also very well made and looks like it will easily stand the test of time. Thanks Portland Leather!! (Photo w closed top contains the hydroflask)

Ordered a large chili red first, it was a beautiful color, but the large was too big and did not lay against my body well (5’10-140lbs). It just looked weird. It stuck out on the ends instead of laying nicely like a sling bag should. Returned and bought the medium in Bacalar which is absolutely beautiful in size and color. It’s a whole different purse in medium. Will be ordering another today!! This truly is one of my favorite carries now. And the strap length is actually perfect as a sling or crossbody on me. Know we are all different, and really like how some have been able to modify it to fit their style with longer straps. It probably should just be made a little longer for everyone.

Purchased this Large Koala bag to see what all the hype was about it. Bag is a great size to hold all my necessary goodies, keeps them safe and secure and lets me look very stylish when carrying it. Magnets are strong, hung this bag upside down for 5 minutes and they never gave way. Highly recommend this bag!!

I LOVE IT! It is the perfect size. The closure is unique. I love being able to open and reach in it with one hand. It’s fits my glasses, my taco pouch, 2 daisy minis, a rancher, a brush, my pepper spray and STILL have room for more! It is definitely a bag that catches people’s attention and is stunning in Honey!

thank you plg for mastering the magnetic closure around your gorgeous orchid hide! the size and shape and structure is exactly what i have been looking for. lightweight enough to not weigh my down, but too, substantial in feel and function.

I really hesitated to try this bag because I’m an Apple shape, carrying my extra fluff in the middle. I was worried that this would make me look that much bigger. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how this Medium Koala in Pebbled Black forms right to me and doesn’t look huge. It also holds a lot more than I thought. Perfect for errands and shopping. Also the magnetic closure is quite secure. No fear that stuff is going to fall out if it gets turned upside down. Now I want more colors!!!

Love this bag. It is plenty large enough to carry all my everyday necessities and then some. The leather is beautiful with the stamped on print. This is the first bag I have gotten with a magnetic closure like this. I was afraid it wouldn't work very well but it is a very secure closure. This purse is very easy to grab and go. The Seesaw fits in it perfectly with the small bifold wallet. Wish the seesaw came in meadow. I attached a picture of my order.

I got the large koala in molino blue and absolutely love it on my 5'5", 170lb frame. I wear it as a crossbody and a sling depending on my outfit. The blue is bright and bold and pebbly; and the magnetic closure is the perfect blend of secure and accessible. I usually prefer a zipper, but this is so easy to move in & out of. My only complaint is the thickness of the strap which should be a bit thicker to match the overal quality and weight of the bag, but it's not a deal breaker for me.Planning to get another koala in the smaller size for spring.

This beauty is just waiting for the cold Minnesota winter to end spring to begin! Love the color, size (I have the large) and feel of this gorgeous bag! And, I love the versatility of how I can wear this bag! So happy with my purchase!

The Koala Sling in Molino blue is the squishiest, softest, most perfect shade of blue to transition from winter to spring. The shape is perfectly on trend. Love the adjustable strap so I can wear it different ways! Only problem is now I want one in every color.

I have one Koala bag in each size and I love both! The large holds a lot. It's the perfect mom bag when you need to be able to hold snacks + a few toys, it even fits my mittens which is convenient. The medium size is a great handbag size, I think it's similar to my large circle bag in capacity. The Bone color is more stiff, Bacalar is softer and has some texture. I am 5'6" for reference and the strap is great for wearing as a sling bag.

Got the medium orchid koala. Oh my! The color is so luxurious and the leather smells sooo good. The large camera bag was my fav bag but now it’s the koala. Love that you can wear 3 ways: sling, crossbody and shoulder. The magnets are strong and very easy to get in/out of. I will be ordering more colors.

Why did I wait so long to take the plunge? I LOVE this bag! It’s beautiful and the perfect size for me. I may have another color already on the way!

I ordered this for a vacation to Europe and it was perfect for all the things I needed — including a water bottle and guide — while slinging securely in front or on the side. The magnets kept it closed but easy to get into. Plus I liked how it looked so I felt a little more stylish. Glad I got it, and the small wallet that matched. Worked great as a system.
