Is the Carey big enough for a full-size wallet?

No. At about 10.5 by 5.6 by 2.4 inches it fits a phone, cardholder, keys and sunglasses. A long wallet crowds it; a compact wallet or cardholder works better.

Can the strap be worn on the shoulder as well as crossbody?

Yes. The strap converts, so you can wear it long across the body or shorter on the shoulder. Check the strap length on the specific listing if you are tall.

Yes, the body is leather with gold-tone hardware. It is a structured leather bag, not coated canvas.

How does it compare with the Kate Spade Staci or Madison crossbodies?

The Carey is smaller and more structured than the roomier Staci domed crossbody, and simpler than the Madison with its chain detail. Choose the Carey for a compact, polished everyday bag.

Does it have interior pockets or card slots?

It has one interior slip pocket and a zip top. There are no card slots, so a small cardholder is worth adding.

Is it a good travel bag?

Yes for light travel days. It sits close to the body and zips shut, but it will not hold a passport, water bottle and camera together.
