I love the arcade as

"I love the arcade as a grab and go daily bag when I don’t have a lot to carry. I wear it as a sling vs. a belt bag. It could be an issue if you need more length to wear it as a sling. For reference, I am a size 12 in women’s."

Bag is a little to small

"Although this bag looks nice, made well. Its Too small. Can’t get to items when using it. My essentials consist of only a few things. I should have looked at the size before purchasing. Making this item in a larger size so would be great ."
