Perfection. I love this bag and already planning on another color. It’s lightweight, plenty of pockets, secure and great for around town or trips. It also cleans up easily.
I agree with another reviewer...this bag is cuuuute, love the Swallowtail print and crossbody and other storage conveniences but dang just a bit too small, wish TUMI'd up the dimensions a bit to accommodate laptop...please TUMI!
I agree with the comment from AFlower. I wish the Tyler crossbody was a few inches larger so that I could carry my Ipad mini, my journal, wallet, and perhaps a travel guide, and still have a little room left over. But I kept it anyway and will make do. I bought the Tumi charm pouch as well in order to give myself a little more space for incidentals. (The swallowtail print looks cute on the gunmetal bag.) It would also be nice if it had some subtle security features like Traveleon zippers to make it more difficult for a pickpocket to unzip the main compartment in a crowd. I guess I will forever be in search of the perfect travel crossbody that is both utilitarian and attractive.
I recently purchased a Tumi Tyler crossbody bag and was initially concerned because it was slightly smaller than my previous Tumi bag that I loved and used on many international trips. I found that the new bag is well organized and very functional for travel. All my essential things fit in the bag and it feels lighter in weight than my old bag. I especially like the outer vertical zip pockets which provide easy access to my cell phone, tickets , hotel key, etc. It's easy to clean, has a comfortable, adjustable strap and is very stylish. I took it on two trips and found it to be a great travel purse.
I have a Tumi crossbody bag from many years ago, which I love. Thought to replace it with the Tyler Crossbody. Although the quality is the same, the capacity is not close. The Tyler is too small to be functional for everyday use. The original bag is approximately 14-inches high by 9 to 10- inches wide. Perfect. I hope Tumi makes the Tyler bag in a larger size. I have read this same request on other sites:
