Songmont Luna Bag: An Unsponsored Review

Last updated on April 8th, 2026 at 09:44 pm

Yet again, I have been influenced. After seeing Songmont’s ads for their versatile Luna crescent bag, I caved and purchased one in Jade, a perfect pastel spring green. There are not very many reviews out there, so I hope this post helps any curious shoppers like myself!

Overview

Songmont was founded in 2013 by an ex-Google UX designer, who teamed up with her mom to design and make the perfect lightweight laptop tote. Soon after, they expanded with a small team in Song’s hometown, producing quality leather goods with intentional designs.

The Songmont Luna now comes in three sizes: the original is $389, with a larger version at $570 and small version at $329.

Form

Luna’s shape reminds me of one of my Polene favorites, the Numero Dix (reviewed here). It plays on currently popular crescent silhouettes like the Celine Ava bag. However, it has a nice puffiness to the look that makes it a softer style overall, with its own unique take.

What’s drew me to this bag is its versatility. It comes with two straps (one long, one short) and a unique clasp system to be worn four different ways.

Capacity

For reference, I’ve compared the Luna side-by-side with my Polene Numero Dix below. While similar in shape, the Luna can hold more given its depth of 3”+. It’s spacious enough to hold all the essentials and more – I can easily fit a small notebook, sunscreen, sunglasses when worn as a shoulder or crossbody bag.

Function

I’m usually a little wary when items boast about versatility – nine times out of ten, they can only really do a fraction of the marketed features well. I’m happy to report that the Luna bag is the elusive one in ten. I tested out the different carrying options, and have found all four to be functional and usable. 

The straps are very easy to swap out, which was a pleasant surprise to me. A complaint I have with the Polene Dix is how difficult it is to actually swap straps – so I never do. That’s not an issue with the Luna. The leather is a little softer and malleable, and easier to press (or remove) from the little notches.

Songmont’s use of a magenetic top closure makes it useable even with the straps pinched into a Bottega Jodie-esque shape. Sure, it’s slightly finicky to place or remove items in this variation. But it’s still very much possible with smaller items like a small wallet or card case. For reference, I can’t say the same about the Mlouye Flex bag (reviewed here) when worn in this way.

Quality

The regular Luna uses a milled fine calf leather with a very matte, almost powdery handfeel, and the leather and construction looks decent to my untrained eye. To give a comparison, it’s a similar feel to Hermes’ togo leather – though certainly not the same exact leather, considering how much true Togo costs. The Icon line uses a full-grain cowhide leather, which likely will feel more substantial and have a slight sheen.

After several months of owning and using the Luna, the hardware and different connectors continue to work just fine. I try to keep the bag stored in its “natural” shape, ie. if I wear it as a wristlet, I will disconnect the two ends after I use it for the day. This helps prevent any additional creasing.

Shipping

If I had to choose one area of improvement, it would have to be shipping. Not the speed, as it only took 2 days to travel across California. But rather, the shipping packaging – they shipped the bag directly in its (pretty!) box with no cardboard outer. Now, I’m all for reduced and sustainable shipping materaials – but if that were the case, I would prefer they use a sturdier, regular cardboard box and forego the decorative one.

Verdict

I’m pleasantly surprised and quite impressed with this little bag! I love how easy it is to wear in a variety of ways, with all of the thoughtful design elements. The overall quality of the leather and construction itself is well worth its $349 price tag. Ultimately, if you’re looking for a bag that can cover casual and fancier outings, this is a great option.

2024 Update: I ultimately ended up selling the bag, but not because I didn’t enjoy it. In fact, the opposite. While the Jade green is beautiful, and perfect for spring / summer, I had a hard time matching my outfits accordingly. So instead, I’m planning to replace it with a different color – trying to decide between the small ivory and regular chocolate!
