Will this work as a camera bag?
The Chica makes for a handy digital camera bag. If you own an SLR camera, we recommend the Gator.
Is this a purse for women?
While designed as a travel purse, we prefer to think of the Chica as a minimalist messenger bag for both women and men. Both sexes can enjoy its many useful features. See our Chica reviews for suggestions of many uses from our loyal customers.
Is the shoulder strap removable?
The shoulder strap is attached to the bag via metal rings which are stitched directly onto the bag using double box stitching. For greater flexibility, some customers have converted their bags on their own to use The Claw shoulder strap.
Is this a messenger style bag?
Sure. Albeit smaller, and more compact than your typical messenger bags.
Can you ship USPS?
Yes, Red Oxx will ship USPS upon request. Simply state, "Please ship USPS" in the cart comments during checkout and we will adjust your billing accordingly.
Is there a way to securely lock my bag?
Sure, you can use any TSA approved bag lock or try our Cable Lock for a simple, semi-secure solution. Watch this video where CEO Jim Markel demonstrates how you can use the cable that comes with the product Dog Tag price tag to secure your bag. Keep in mind, any determined thief can still cut open a soft-sided bag with a sharp knife.
How do I use or store my bag to keep it's original upright padded shape and prevent it from slouching?
When using your bag, pack heavy items in the bottom of the bag. When storing your bag, remove any items and press flat. You can stack your bags in your closet in this manner or better yet, use a compression strap (sold separately) to hang your bag.
Nice size. This bag lays nice and flat when I have it lightly loaded with my daily carry... I like that I can also load it down when I'm going to a festival or the lake. Fits sunscreen, tickets, water bottle, hat, small snack and maybe a purchase or two. It's the only bag I need most of the time.
Man Bag. Top notch quality, nice design, I carry it all the time. Big enough for a travel-size laptop.
This is really the one! This is a fantastic bag. It's comfortable to carry, holds everything I need for doing errands or taking day trips. I am using it to replace an expensive designer bag I've had for several years and I like the Chica much better...
