This bag works so well for travel. it is light, but tons fits in it. The quality is amazing.
Over two years ago I bought a red bag which I wore almost daily. It is still perfect, but I wanted a change and decided to buy a black bag just like it for my own Christmas present. I love
how light weight it is and holds many items.
Great bag! Love that it looks like leather but isn’t! Very durable.
Just bought myself a third color of this Bossa Nova-grey this time. This is really a perfect sized bag for me to carry everyday -wallet, keys, reading and sunglasses, an eReader and my phone all fit perfectly inside. It’s such a gorgeous bag and I love the fact that it has an outer zippered pocket for quick access to items-work ID -house keys. Thanks for making such great bags!!
I slept on this fabric for a year! Finally, I ordered it and I absolutely love it more than I thought I would. The fabric design is so fun and the colors go with everything I wear. I love the pleather (with zipper pouch) on the back side so if I do lay it on anything, there is a more durable side that will be easier to clean. I can usually fit a lot of things in my bags, but with this, I fit snacks for both kids during their hockey practice, along with phone, wallet, keys, chapstick...and have room for my husbands wallet and keys if necessary. The size is sleek and medium, but goodness, can I fit a lot into it! Perfect for an all-around, everyday bag.

Woman-owned. Ethically made. Designed for decades of daily use.
Very high quality all around!! I have used this tote regularly throughout the past 8 years and it looks the same with zero effort. It can hold a lot of weight comfortably with the wide straps. The shape of it when buttoned up gets many compliments. I have the black one and it really does look like genuine leather. If anything ever happens to it I’ll buy another.
I spotted this adorable bag at the NWGS, but I couldn’t resist the urge to walk away. I kept thinking about how cute it was and how much I regretted not getting it. So, I reached out to Crystalynkae’s business chat and asked if the bag was still available. To my surprise, they were kind enough to invoice and ship it right to me! The quality is amazing, and it’s definitely my favorite bag for everyday use. It’s light, roomy, and one-of-a-kind. I’m definitely adding more of her bags to my collection.
After more than 10 years of almost daily use, here is my tribute to one tough bag! It's held up beautifully to trips across the world and through the washing machine. It's been sat on, spilled on, jumped on by pets, stuffed to the max or crammed into other luggage with no issues at all, and is still lovely, soft and shiny, zero problems with zippers and hardware. I'm retiring my bag (discontinued style) bc it's earned it and has finally started to show minor wear...after all this time. Signed, a happy (and now much older) customer.
We purchased the Chacha bundle, it includes a black chacha bag, a purple card case and a black wrap belt! They are all carefully designed and made in great quality we can feel, I especially like the adjustable lenth then hide inside detail for the bag, YKK zipper ,lightweight and water proof etc.
Nice customer service too!😉🥰
This is a super well made bag with great pockets and zipper! I love that I can carry my large cell phone in one of the inside slip pockets, it fits horizontally. This bag carries all of my daily necessities comfortably, but has plenty of extra space for other things, too. I'm sad I'm just now discovering this great company. I've searched for years for an American made, non-leather, washable, stylish, big enough, bag and finally found Crystalyn Kae! :-)

This is a super well made bag with great pockets and zipper! Personally, I would say this is more of a "small" bag for me (not "mini" by any means). It carries all of my daily necessities comfortably, but without much extra space. It's nice to have a bag with a smaller silhouette, while not having to pair down any of my necessities. Great bag!
Well made, nice zipper, very useful! These would be a great way to gift some cash or gift card to someone. Really nice!
Beautiful, and well made! I plan to use this as a clutch. It will be perfect for either a dressy or casual occasion. Great size to hold my phone, glasses, keys, and small wallet or card case.
