Baggallini womens Everywhere Crossbody Bagg

Love love love this bag! As a first time mom to twins, I have been looking for a good crossbody bag that isn't too gigantic but holds a lot of stuff. This bag fits the bill perfectly. I can put a lot of things in this bag and, unlike a tote, it has all sorts of zipper pockets and compartments for various items. I really like the shape of it as well. I got the blue color and it's gorgeous. The strap is adjustable to a lot of different lengths, which is much appreciated. The material is also going to be easy to clean as you can just wipe it down. It's a great price for the value that you get!

I love my new Baggallini Everywhere Bagg Crossbody in the Moss Green color. Please know that the Moss Green color is more of a muted green color and is not as bright green as shown in the advertised photo. That being said, I still love the purse and will wear it for my everyday bag. For fancier occasions, I will use another bag.

I traveled in Italy with this bag and there are so many pockets for all of the things you need. The strap being strong and secure zippers made me feel protected against pick pocketers. I could carry my phone, extra charger, small chargable fan, sunscreen, and umbrella and more with no problems. Love the wristlet too for going out in evening without the whole bag. Buy it for traveling!

My purpose for this bag: Day to Day carry. I don't do much in traveling, but I do like to have a secure, sturdy, well made bag to rely on. This is my second Baggallini, the other being a slim tall cross body purse that is better suited for very minimalist outings. I don't care for it as much for day to day use. Separate review for that.COLOR: Papaya is a gorgeous orange color. It is as gorgeous as I was hoping for. Interior is a very pretty, contrasting but complimentary fushia/hot pink.SIZE: Medium sized. Dimensions as I measure it are different that what is specified in the description (there are two product descriptions, the top portion description is more accurate than lower page description). Take note that I am measuring from specific points on the bag, with stuff in it, making the measurements more relevant for anyone trying to figure out how much space it will take up.My measurements:From bottom as it sits on a table measured to CENTER (lowest point of bag) of closed main zipper the height is 9".The highest point which is just where the zipper ends on each side, and strap begins is roughly 11.5".Width is 11 inches. A little more if you use side pockets, but not by much.Packed with all that I carry, its sitting depth is roughly 5.5".Hope that helps!Pretty good for a day to day carry. I don't want to carry a lot, but I do want to have a few items on me. Main interior is roomy enough to fit my packed wallet (Belfen wristlet wallet 8.1"(W) x 4.3"(H) x 0.8"(D) inches) and a medium sized makeup bag (9"W, 7" H, 3" D) that I use to keep an assortment of items (small first aid kit, travel toothbrush, travel size toothpaste, small container of tooth floss, snack bar, pen, tiny notepad, and a feminine pad). Between the wallet and make up bag, that takes up the majority of the space. There is still room on top of those items, or I could stretch the bag a bit if I want to slip in a book or something else of that size.INTERIOR features and pockets: One large horizontal zipped interior pocked along the back side. Above that zippered area are two elastic loops for either attaching something with a carabiner, or to horizontally slide in a couple of pens or pencils. There are two rows of 4 card slots along the front interior. Those appear shallow, but fit credit cards just fine. I currently have no use for that as I am carrying a wallet. In addition there is a small zipped detachable RFID "wallet" (7"x4") attached inside via a long 14" strap. It is situated a few inches below the opening of the main zipper. If looking at the bag from the front, it would be left side. On the opposite side, situated in same position there is a shorter approximately 6" strap (including hook) for various use. I imagine for keys.EXTERIOR features: front has one center large horizontal zipper pocket (I currently have my Kindle paperwhite with cover in there, with room to spare), then two more pockets divided evenly. One horizontal zippered, one folded snap closure (plus an extra spot behind it with snap closure). In the smaller zipper portion I have a folded pocket knife, and a couple of chargers for phone, tablet, and Kindle. In the snap pocket I keep travel tissue, lip gloss, and travel hand cream. There is a space behind the folded snap closure that is another open pocket with single snap closure. It took me reviewing this and taking pictures to discover it. I haven't anything in there yet. Either compartment can hold a little more than what I described, but not much. At the rear of bag, there is spot that allows for attaching this bag to the handle of a rolling suitcase. The top portion is an open pcoket snap closure, and the bottom is a horizontal zipper. You unsnap the top and unzip the bottom and it becomes roughly a 6"x 9.5"sleeve. There is likely other creative used for this such as slipping a sweater through or tying a bag off of it. It is a large pocket when the zipper is closed along the bottom. I would find it much more useful and secure if there was a locking mechanism for that bottom zipper. My Kindle fits in there perfectly, but until I figure out a way to secure that zipper, I do not want to chance it or anything else accidentally opening and falling out. I am considering using a safety pin, either attached from the inside so it can't be seen or across the front. It would basically provide a barrier to the zipper opening.This worked when I used a vintage decorative pin, but I took it out as I figured I needed something stronger than an old pin.SIDE pockets: Looking at front of bag, the side pocket on left is a slim fairly tight open pocket. It advertises as a cellphone holder. I didn't think it was going to be useful for anything but a pack or gum, but I decided to try slipping my cellphone into it. I have a recently purchased (2017) LG V20 with a smart case. This is a good sized smartphone. The phone and case together measure 6.5" x 3.25" x .5" I was shocked that it slid into this pocket. It's like that pocket and my phone were made for each other. It is a snug fit. The top of the phone and the top of the opening to the pocket is the same height. I can get my fingers in there just enough to pull the phone out. I wouldn't use it if I was planning to take phone in and out multiple times, but then maybe I will. It is a surprisingly good pocket now that I have tried it out. Better if it could close, as a rainy day would not protect your phone. Looking at front of bag, the side pocket on the right is a vertically zipped space that runs about the full height of the bag, 9". Unzipped, there is an elasticized pocket within. This could hold a slim water bottle. I could just barely fit in a 16 ounce bottled water in there. Tight fit. Unfortunately takes up some of the space of the bag itself. It should have been designed to stretch out further to allow for the water bottle to sit bulge out from the bag and not into it.STRAP: Adjustable, secure strap. Make it as short as a longer shoulder bag, or as long as needed for comfort as a cross body bag. I am 5'10, and plus sized, and this strap at max length very comfortably accommodates my body. The strap width is comfortable at 1.25". The top of the bag rests against my hips, and the lower portion of the bag rests against my upper thigh. This allows me to easily get into my bag about where my hands naturally fall. Adjust according to your frame size.CONSTRUCTION and MATERIALS:Made in Cambodia.Outer is 100% Nylon. From my other Baggallini it is sure to be a sturdy, tear resistant, water resistant, hand washable bag.Interior material is 100% Polyester.Zipper and stitching appears secure. Attractive.FINAL THOUGHTS: Since this is a travel bag, I would like to see a little more security go into the construction of the bag such as cut resistant strap, locking zippers (or tuck away zippers, anything to deter people looking to pick pocket), especially the zipper that is part of the "sleeve" mentioned above, and perhaps an outer loop or two to allow for personal customization. It's these last two points that I have taken one star away from the rating. A couple of simple adjustments and it would be a great bag. Some bags and purses automatically have enough space between strap and hardware to accommodate a carabiner d-ring. Many people have these on their key chains. When not traveling but just running errands, I like to hook my keys to the outer portion of the bag so I don't have to search for them inside the bag. The strap on this bag is too wide to quickly hook my keys on. There is a strap with hook latch on the inside, but that will take precious space away from the interior. I did figure out a way to make that strap useful to the outside by feeding it through the main zipper and out the side where there is an opening. But it isn't ideal. I took a picture of having done this.Also, why is there such a gap at either end of the main zipped portion?Overall I like the bag. Full price is a bit steep for this bag, and I happened to get this one for half of that either due to being an unpopular or discontinued color. Then I come back today and it is even cheaper. *sigh*. Anyway, price didn't go into my review as I made the choice to buy it at that price, however I can reflect on price versus quality.

I ADORE my new Baggalini bag! It has so many storage areas that by the time I got all my stuff offloaded into the new bag, the only things floating in the big main compartment were my sunglasses and my readers. A-mazing! Everything else from lipstick to keys to office fob to two car keys, all the stuff from my wallet (no longer need to carry a wallet!) to lots of other things found its own pocket. I have been a Vera Bradley and Brighton fan over the years but this blows them away for space and organization.

I’m the kind of person who needs lots of separate compartments.(Having everything tossed into the bottom of a purse is my worst nightmare.)I appreciate all the attention to detail.The zippers are top-notch.All of the compartments are great.I also love how it is light gray on the inside, which makes it so much easier to find things.I like how the large back compartment has a zipper on the bottom, so when I travel, I can just slip it over the tall handle of my carry-on, and I won’t have to worry about where my purse is.There is a key ring clip inside the bag, so you always know where your keys are.Baggallini has always made quality bags. It’s nice to discover that the quality has not decreased over the years. I got my first Baggallini at least twenty years ago.Another good feature… it is much more lightweight than the leather bags I’ve been carrying in the last decade. This one is also water resistant, as well.If you’ve never had a Baggallini, you are in for a treat. Especially with this particular model.Pic 1/ My cell phone goes in that left hand zippered slot there, but I was taking photos. My phone case is neon yellow, so really easy to see it against the black and gray. The zipper above those two compartments opens up a handy compartment for whatever you want. I use it for stuff I want on the go, without having to dig into the main compartment.Pic 2/ The back. Right now that’s a nice big pocket with a magnet closure… until you unzip the bottom. Then you can slide it on your luggage handle, when traveling.Pic 3/ Secret stash for anything. On the opposite side, there is an open pocket.Pic 4/ shows the key ring clip from inside the bag.Pic 5/ shows the interior. You can see extra pockets, places for cards, and loops for pens. (And it is NOT a dark interior, which always makes it hard for me to find anything.)

This is the second Baggallini bag I’ve purchased. My first has lasted over 5 years. Easy to carry, simple to clean with a toss into the wash machine on gentle. I’ll be buying Baggallini for every day use for years in the future.
