Better than I thought, thank you Taehyung!
This bag is way better than I thought. I love it!!! If I'm honest, I saw BTS Kim Taehyung with two of the original Ona Soft Bag in brown (Chocolate) and Blue. The original is too big for my everyday needs, and I saw there was a Micro. I bought the small one and a matching pouch to go inside of it/can hang outside, to see if I'd like the bag/brand AND if I did, I wouldn't need the little extra pouch because I'd already have one. One of the things I really wanted was something smaller, and also I liked that this converted into a bookbag. That's amazing!!! I've used it as a crossbody a few times, and I also have a lipgloss keychain (that Laneige one that clips on to your bag and has the cap for your lipgloss itself) and it clips easily to the pouch. I also added two of my THV Artist Made brooches to the bag just for style and being cute, and it's gorgeous. OMGGGG. I know I might sound like a THV Girl, but the bag legit is great!! It's the best if you don't want to carry a lot of stuff and be more "hands-free," and while it snaps together to close, there IS a zipper compartment inside that fits my ID, credit card and some cash. Then in the bag itself, I fit my iPhone 17 Pro Max, the Olend pouch, hand sanitizer, the lipgloss keychain if I want it inside rather than outside, and I still have space.
I got this bag in Chocolate and the pouch in Blue -- that's my legit THV Girl moment, lol. I admit it.
Where I am for this Fall/Winter season is cold, rainy and snows -- so I don't have to worry about anyway because the bag is water resistant, and I like that a lot!!
It also has this minimalist vibe to it, which I like, too. Something about it screams casual and chic at the same time.
It's also pre-trend because only NOW do I see other brands here and there trying to copy it, so I'm pretty sure come 2027 Spring Summer, lots of brands are doing to imitate Olend and the Ona. That's super obvious to me as someone who works in beauty/fashion marketing.
Also with the Micro -- the strap isn't super long. I'm 5'1 and it sits directly on my hip. Take that information however you wish, but I REALLY appreciate that for short girls like me.
It's also not overwhelming as a bag, I'm petite in frame, so it doesn't feel bulky either. I really like that.
All that said I saw there are also peach and wine colours. I think I'm going to get another Ona bag as well. I don't think I'm going to get the original, but likely one of the smaller one, probably the second largest one, so it can hold a water bottle and stuff like that.
Definitely worth the buy.
It exceeded my expectations and I genuinely LOVE it!!!!
