I traded for this wristlet without bothering to look at the measurements. It’s too small for what I wanted. But after looking at it, I realized that if you took off the strap it would be a perfect cosmetic bag or for all the other small little things like pillboxes that we carry in our purses, that get lost in the bottom. However, since I can’t carry a bag anymore even that doesn’t do me any good, but I thought someone else would love it for that reason. It could definitely be used as a wristlet, it just doesn’t hold a cell phone unless it’s a small flip.
