Will it fit a large phone and a wallet?

Yes. It is sized for the largest iPhone, cash and a large continental wallet, with an interior zip pocket and an exterior slip pocket for smaller items.

Is satin a good material for everyday use?

It is dressier than leather but less forgiving. Owners say marks show easily, so it suits occasional wear better than daily commuting.

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

Yes. The 11.5-inch strap drop lets most wearers carry it crossbody or on the shoulder.

How does it compare with Kate Spade's leather crossbodies?

The Carey is lighter and dressier, with a turnlock flap and quilting. Leather models resist stains better and hold their shape longer.

What keeps it closed?

A turnlock on the flap. It opens quickly but is not a zip, so small items rely on the interior pocket.

It measures about 8.72 inches wide, 6.2 inches tall and 3 inches deep, so it is a small bag with room for essentials only.
