Baggallini Everyday Bagg

First of all, I found the many dozens of reviews that I read on this bag to be incredibly confusing. There was a main reoccurring theme though...that nearly everyone liked the prior version of this bag much better than this one and that this bag was too small. People listed vast differences in what all they could (or could not) put in the bag. And this left my head nearly spinning. (BTW, Baggallini has yet a newer version of this bag than this, which has gone back to many of the same design elements that the bag you all miss has. Meanwhile, I'll review THIS version, as it's the only one I've ever had).I am a small bag person. I carry primarily five things. 1: My reading glasses in a hard (but slim) case, 2: My iPhone 11 (in an Otterbox case), 3: a Chapstic 4: my car key fob and 5: My credit cards, grocery cards, etc (the same stuff everyone else caries). I want a bag that can carry these things and not much more. I want a light weight, small cross body bag that I barely know is there. And in this bag, I found it.In the numerous reviews I read, there was a lot of discrepancy about glasses cases fitting in the main compartment. Some said "yes" to this and many said "no". Since this is a must for me, I fully expected to have this bag arrive in the mail, only to boomerang back to the seller the next day because it is too small. Some things you just have to find out for yourself. Not only is it NOT too small, I could fit THREE glasses cases in the main compartment, which means that my one glasses case fits easily and leaves room for my iPhone in there too and tissues and a chapstick and that compartment is not even full yet. So if you want to know if your glasses or sunglasses will fit, the answer is "YES!" if you get the pewter floral color (see the photo of my bag with the glasses case in it). I am now wondering if the different colors of this bag are slightly different sizes. Perhaps some colors are slightly smaller? What else could explain this discrepancy?The fabric is stiff (which generated a lot of complaints). I like it this way, because if it is too supple, the bag will fold in on itself when you put it over your shoulder.The back pocket has a snap closure and it easily fits my iPhone 11 in an Otterbox case in it, but I prefer my phone inside of a zipped compartment (just a preference). The front snap pocket with a flap might work for movie or concert tickets but won't accommodate much more. This would be more useful as the zip pocket that it used to be.The purse strap is unremarkable...not great, not bad. It adjusts to be pretty long to function as a cross body, so I'm happy. And the color of the strap looks good with the color of the bag. Good enough for me.I won't comment on the wallet part of the bag because everyone else has said plenty. It's very nice and works great.I've come to believe over the years that crusty old suit-clad men in boardrooms deign handbags for women. Most purses are ridiculous in how they function (or in most cases don't function). Let's face it most phones are similar in size these days. Most classes cases are similar in size. Most of the things that women carry are predictable sizes. These bags that come short by half an inch just show the complete and utter lack of research that bag designers are doing. If Baggallini used that formula for this bag, those men at least consulted with their wives and girlfriends, OR...maybe...just MAYBE...women designed it? Based on the incredible functionality of this bag I feel certain that it must be the latter. At any rate, this bag is designed for how a women lives and functions in this world. What a refreshing change!

I’ve owned this for almost 2 years - using this exclusively as my purse. I wish I could give my review 7 stars!It is soooo well made, nothing is coming apart, absolutely everything is holding together well! I love it so much I needed to rave in a review; which I never do.I have definitely put it through a lot and I’m SO impressed with the quality. I have 5 kids and am out and about a lot with this in tow. It’s not a stranger from being tugged on by small hands. Yet, it’s held together with no signs of falling apart.The strap is still silky smooth, nothing fraying. It’s the perfect length for crossbody holding, allowing you 2 free hands. All clasps, zippers, and metal parts are intact and holding firm.The lining is in perfect shape. Often that’s the part that wears first since it’s a lighter weight fabric. However, the stitching is holding fast and no wear or holes anywhere in sight. It’s a perfect lighter weight fabric, yet thick and heavy duty enough that it’s in perfect shape.The nylon outer fabric must be made from magic. No holes, no fraying, nothing at all is showing wear. Including the most abused places like the ends of the main zipper pocket where the straps are sewn and is pulled when zipping open or closed. This is where all my other purses have met their demise, yet this bag is still holding strong!I slide my smart phone down the back with the button- it’s a perfect size and holds it snuggly enough I don’t worry about it falling.With it being made from fabric, when it gets dirty you can wash it without worry.I love the size, it’s perfect for someone who doesn’t want to haul everything and the kitchen sink. With that being said, it’s amazing how much I CAN fit! There are so many pockets I surprise myself often marveling that I can fit as much as I do, almost like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag.Right now I have 33 cards: library, rewards, debit, membership etc. 10 reciepts, Cash and coins, 7 bandaids, 4 hair elastics, finger nail clippers and file, 5 safety pins, a sewing kit, folding scissors, 5 large tampons, box of mints, small tube of lotion, 4 pens, my keys, cuticle cream, 3 tubes of chapstick, 1 lip gloss, small mirror, keychain tape measure, 1 pacifier, and a few more odds and ends.I’ll be back for more of this exact bag even if it never wears out! LOVE it!!!

I like Bagalinni, its one of my favorite brand names for its quality and looks. I like light weight bags due to my shoulder arthritis. They are washable and well designed. However, I returned this bag because it was too small to fit all my "stuff". I was able to put all of it in the bag but it was too snug and difficult to find what I would be looking for. I wanted it for everyday use and it just didn't work well for that. If you are a true minimalist it would be perfect. I do have a tinier version of that bag which I use for waking my dog. In the smaller version there is room for tissues, a mask, my phone, and a baggy of dog treats. I will keep looking for the perfect size for everyday use since the one i have now is beginning to show some wear. Thank you bagalinni!!!

I have 2 larger Bagalini that are my constant cross shoulder daily bags. Washable, lots of pockets, brightly colored. This one is not as colorful, but will work as semi dressy, with enough space for necessities.

This bag is the perfect size for containing all necessary belongings without being too heavy or hurting your shoulder. There was a learning curve - had to ditch my wallet, which was tough, but once accomplished, I was so glad I did. Bank notes, change, credit cards, phone and glasses - - - perfect for what I need.

Excelente materiales, para uso diario me gusta mucho mi bolsa , mi compraría otra !!

This is a perfect bag for daily use. Baggalinni products are very well made and always look classy. Their efficient use of space makes them the only choice for me - not to mention their light weight. You won't regret your purchase.

Jag älskar Baggallini axelväskor som är så lätta och bekväma att ha som vardagsväska. Svårt att hitta i Sverige så blev så glad när jag kunde beställa den här. Många fack och tyget är lätt att tvätta eller torka av. Trots sin storlek så rymmer den en hel del.

Je l’adore!
