Is the Small Charlie big enough for a phone?

Yes. A standard phone fits, along with a cardholder and a lipstick. A wallet, sunglasses case or water bottle will not fit.

Can it be worn crossbody?

It is built as a shoulder bag with a short strap. It does not come with a crossbody-length strap, so it sits at the shoulder rather than across the body.

How does the denim version compare with the leather Charlie?

The denim has the same compact shape and magnetic flap but a softer, more casual look. Leather resists dirt and dye transfer better; denim shows marks sooner.

Does the magnetic closure stay shut?

The magnet holds the flap closed in normal wear, but it is not a secure clasp. It can open if the bag is overfilled or knocked.

What fits in the inner pocket?

The inner pocket is small and suits cards, cash or a key. It is not sized for a phone.

About the Tory Burch Small Charlie Denim Shoulder Bag

The Small Charlie is Tory Burch's compact denim shoulder bag, about 5 inches wide and 4.75 inches tall, with a magnetic flap closure and a small inner pocket. It is a going-out bag: it holds a phone, cardholder and lipstick, not much more. Denim gives it a casual, textured look that stands apart from the leather and chain crossbody bags it sits among. Owners of the Charlie line praise the clean shape and easy magnetic close, but note the small capacity and the light color's tendency to show wear.
