I entered the Day Owl realm during a "going out of business" sale event that thank goodness did not foreshadow an actual resolution -- product quality, design, and construction far superior to alternatives. In my case, The Crossbody checked a long sought-after box: a shoulder bag perfectly sized for keeping items securely at hand that are otherwise fumbled for in the airport "hurry up and slow down" lines. In addition, matters of correspondence (including advertisement materials) are handled concisely and forthrightly, a pleasure in the blah-blah-blah marketplace.
