Baggallini Crossbody Travel Bag 11×8.5 Lightweight Water-resistant Nylon Handbag

Wish I bought one years ago!
This has been a great purchase! For years I’ve had difficulty finding a purse I liked because like a crazy woman, I wanted pockets! When I first found this one I was a little apprehensive. I’ve only ever bought cheap purses before, but I was also super tired of them wearing out in about a year or so if I were lucky. I was so fed up I was finally willing to spend more to have a purse that lasted.What did I want besides pockets? I wanted it to look nice. It didn’t have to be the latest fashion, but I wanted a bit of a timeless quality that would mean it looked good several years from now and not just in the moment. I wanted good, solid construction and quality materials that would hold up to use and occasional abuse. It also needed to be able to carry a lot without looking like it carried a lot.For me, this purse checked all of those boxes! With so many pockets I had no problem organizing the purse to hold what I wanted where I wanted so I could always find it quickly and easily. The material used surprised me the most because it looks really nice, but it’s also very sturdy and I don’t feel I have to worry about it if I need to set the purse down on the floor or ground. I was able to fit an amazing amount of meds and first aid items in here, along with other everyday essentials easily, and the purse doesn’t appear to be bulging at the seams at all.I can’t say that a mother of a small child could fit everything she needs into the purse because that would depend on what that mother carries. I think however most women could fit everything they want or need in this purse and be fine.My only regret is I didn’t find Baggallini purses sooner!

Lots of pockets. Lightweight
When buying a purse, I always want more info. If you agree, here is the description from front to back.Front has 2 zipper pockets. Great for carrying lipstick, small mirror, gum, etc.Behind the zipper pockets are 2 slip pockets. Great for carrying glasses and small kleenex. My phone (Galaxy S23 with otterbox case) does not fit, though.Next – the full sized, zipped narrow compartment. It has a zipped interior compartment and key leash.Next – the main compartment. Closes with a snap. This is my only beef: the snap is barely magnetized. I would be loathe to carry something of value, e.g., wallet, cell phone etc. It is very deep and wide, however.Next – the full sized narrow compartment. This has one interior slip pockets & pen/lipstick holder. Otherwise, it is identical to the other zipped compartment.Last, a large slip pocket with a magnetic snap. This is perfect for a large phone. No zipper makes it easy to retrieve quickly. The magnetic snap insures that it won’t fall out if you forget to snap it shut. This snap seems to have more magnetization.The strap is similar to a grosgrain ribbon but thicker and more pliable. It is very comfortable to wear as a cross bag. I’m 5’3″ and don’t find the width, 1.5 inches, to be a problem.Although it is a larger cross body purse, the weight makes it easy to carry. I love that the cell phone is quickly accessible. Obviously, this isn’t “high fashion” but it is a daily workhorse. If the main compartment had a more solid closure, it would be perfect.

Lightweight and holds everything
This bag really fits my needs. It replaces a heavy leather Coach purse, which became too cumbersome. I use it either as a shoulder bag or crossbody. The many compartments are well thought out and hold everything, but is so lightweight.The stylish grey color and pattern works well with my wardrobe.

Love this company. The bag has so many pockets and I carry a lot of bits and each has a place. Well worth the money.

I own two Baggallini bags now. I will be ordering more. The quality is excellent.
