 Best Bag Ever! - Baggallini Everyday Bag Jul 28, 2010
By Karen J.
I can't say enough great things about this bag. I needed something very lightweight but durable. I also wanted something that would help me stay organized so I could find/access anything quickly & easily. This bag has exceeded all my hopes.
I keep my keys in the open rear pocket & the cell phone in the zippered front pocket. The double-zippered front pocket is where I was able to toss my wallet, since one is built-in here, further lightening my load. By itself, the wallet pocket has: 1 long open and 2 long zippered pockets sized for cash or coupons, 6 credit card slots, 2 more open pockets sized for ID, plastic/punch/business cards, etc. I filled all these pockets, added a picture holder, and still have space left for more. Nothing has been cut tight as I've seen in many cheaper bags, this one always has spare room. When you unzip the main center compartment you'll find two more zippered pockets, one on each sidewall, and the main compartment is large enough to easily hold sunglasses, gum & checkbook, or 2-3 items sized such as: Kindle, DS, standard paperback book, etc. I was amazed at how easily I was able to fit everything into this modest bag without anything ever feeling cramped, with nearly all the weight from what I stuffed into it, yet it still looked neat & slim and felt lightweight when I was done.
Still, there's more. My first Everyday Baggallini was in the Steel Blue color, which is beautiful and great for summer or winter, and suitable for anything except formal wear. I love it so much I ordered the Khaki next-this was a bit darker than I expected, it looks like a muted goldish-brown rather than the almost off-white color of the picture, but still nice. The hardware on both purses is a brushed silver, classy looking, and of a good size and shape for it's intended uses. The material looks smooth but strong, and can be washed. Finally, the strap is quite versatile. Fully extended, it works as cross-body; doubled, it works as a shoulder bag; adjusted, it can be worn around the waist/hips as a fanny pack.
I only wish I could get one in off-white or light taupe, or one of the colors other Baggallini bags come in such as plum or turquoise, but with this bag being so perfect in every other way, I'm not complaining. If you're thinking about Baggallini, try it - I don't see how this bag could disappoint.
2/3/12 Update: Later I ordered my third color, charcoal. The first one Amazon sent had obvious defective sewing and I sent it back for an identical exchange. It's replacement has now been in use only three months and a couple of days ago the strap came off one side. The stitching connecting bag to the ring that the strap attaches to, failed suddenly. My first two bags are still going strong but it seems the labor quality may have declined. Buyers-inspect carefully and note the warranty. These Everyday Bags are still my favorite purses by FAR.

 Not as big as I thought. Poorly sewn strap hooks. Nov 22, 2010
By A. Hubbard
I purchased this bag because I thought it would be much bigger than the triple zipper bag I already have (and really like) and I could use it for everyday wear. It really isn't much bigger and I can't fit anything more in it than the triple zipper bag, mainly because this bag isn't really box shaped but more like a pyramid and becomes more narrow as you come up to the top zipper. So I left out as many things as I could and wore it for a little over a month. I didn't over stuff it. I don't like bulging bags, which was the reason I had bought it in the first place, trying to find a bigger bag to put things in. Then the little tab (about an inch long) that is sewn into the side seam and hooks one side of the strap to the purse, came out of the seam. I was surprised it was so short and wasn't the full length of the seam since those little tabs carry all the weight and tension of the bag. Not a good design element. Before that happened, I had thought about trying again for the next bigger bag, but if that is how their straps are constructed, I don't think it's worth it. If I could have at that point, I would have returned this one.

a great everyday bag Jul 28, 2010
By NWGal
After a shoulder injury, I wasn't able to carry a large handbag on my shoulder. I purchased this bag for its light weight, but have found that it has a lot of good features. You can transfer your entire wallet to one of the zippered compartments, and somehow there is room for everything you need in the main compartment. This is a great bag for anyone interested in convenience and something that won't weigh you down.

Thoughtful solution May 22, 2010
By M. Staub

This bag is not only good looking, but has well thought out compartments. I can get as much in it as a much bigger bag thanks to the arrangement of space. It's also very light weight, and has an adjustable strap. Better than I expected.

great bad May 24, 2010
By joy
This bag is the perfect size for cross body wear and yet it fits everything I need. Built in wallet, room for two pairs of glasses, checkbook, calendar and make up items.
Will buy another in a different color.
Can't beat the price and quality.
