- Is the Blakely Marlee big enough for a large smartphone?
- It depends on the phone. The bag is 8.25 inches long and 7 inches high, but the curved shape and pockets reduce usable space. Many owners say a large phone fits in the dedicated pocket, but some find it tight.
- Can the strap be adjusted for crossbody wear?
- Yes, the strap adjusts from a 26- to 30-inch drop, which is long enough for most to wear crossbody. However, taller users may find it too short for a comfortable crossbody fit.
- How does the Blakely Marlee compare to the Dooney & Bourke Pebble Grain crossbody?
- The Blakely line uses textured leather that is more scratch-resistant, while Pebble Grain is softer and more supple. The Marlee is slightly smaller and more structured than some Pebble Grain crossbodies.
- What fits inside the Blakely Marlee?
- It holds essentials like a phone, small wallet, keys, and sunglasses. The interior has a zip pocket, two slip pockets, a phone pocket, and a key hook to keep things organized.
- Is the leather stiff when new?
