Modern, stylish, practical, vegan, and the perfect size.
Size: One Size
Color: Charcoal
Great bag! This is the second time we have purchased it. It’s well constructed, it’s “vegan”, and it’s the perfect size. It does not overwhelm a smaller person as many full-size bags do, and it fits a full-size checkbook. It’s very light weight yet sturdy with lots of pockets. The “drop” or distance
from the top of the strap to the top of the bag is long enough to allow one to put it on one shoulder using only one hand. We are puzzled over the grommet, however, we find it useful as a pass-through opening for wired headphones, or as an extra place to clip on something like a small bag or hand sanitizer. The charcoal version that arrived is much darker than depicted in the first picture, and slightly darker than the bag in the second picture, however, we were pleased with the color, and we think this darker gray is a mature and elegant shade that will hide stains better and look great year round.

The best travel purse I found
Size: One Size
Color: Charcoal
I just returned from a 3-week trip to Europe when I used trains, subways, trams, and buses and also did a lot of city walking. I bought this purse before going because of its anti-theft features, and I was very pleased with how this purse worked during the trip. It met my needs. After reading all rev
iews about it on this website and others, I had been uncertain given some mixed ratings. But I had also tried to find a good travel purse for over a year, had looked at MANY different types from many different companies, and all of them had drawbacks in one way or the other. This was the best one I found and bought it. Because which purse one takes on a trip is such an important decision, I'm taking the time to explain why this one worked so well. One of my pet peeves with anti-theft purses is that the opening to the main compartment is narrower and smaller than typically found because of extra padding and slash-proof material, so it's harder to fit or find things inside. For an earlier trip, I had bought one from another well-known anti-theft purse manufacturer, and I got so frustrated with it during that trip, I never used it again. Even though this Baggallini purse has the extra padding and material, and the opening is smaller than my normal everyday purse, it still worked well and I had no complaints. In fact, I loved this purse for travel. The main compartment has an interior wall zippered pocket, slots for cards and a passport (all RFID protected) plus a pocket that fit my iPhone 15. It was also roomy enough for me to include a small mesh bag (containing some pills, chapstick, lipstick, sanitizer, a Tide stain remover stick, a few bandaids, etc.), a pair of prescription glasses, a pair of sunglasses, tissues, a coin purse for local cash, and gloves for when it was cold. The locking mechanism to secure the main compartment was easy to use and I regularly used it. The exterior zippered pocket on the front (not secured with a latch) was useful for many small items that were not valuable, like a pen, small notebook, cough drops, etc. I used the second small zippered pocket on the front, that is secured, for door card keys, train tickets, etc. Many people complained about the pocket on the back side of the purse, which is closed with a magnetic snap at the top with a zipper along the bottom. It's intended to let you slide the purse over the handlebar of your carry-on. I also found it handy, with the closed zipper, for easy access to maps or other sight-seeing info. Many others complained about the 2 vertical pockets at both ends of the purse, that they don't hold a bottle of water, for instance. That complaint didn't hold water. (Sorry--couldn't resist that pun!) I was pleasantly surprised to find, during my Europe trip, that both were useful to hold a HALF-LITER bottle of water found in many European shops. If you're trying to carry a larger bottle, well--no, that won't work. Most of the time the half-liter bottles fit perfectly, but on the few occasions the half-liter bottle was shaped in a way that it did not fit easily into one of those end pockets, I opened the bottle, drank a few gulps, and then squeezed the bottle smaller while twisting the bottle cap back on, and voila, it also fit! The end pockets also fit a small, compact umbrella that I regularly carried and my sunglasses. They were great! Last, the strap was made of a thick sturdy material and was comfortable to use in a cross-body manner. I really liked the locking mechanism so I could unhook the strap and wrap it around a chair leg at a restaurant where I was sitting to deter would-be thieves. It was convenient and gave me more peace of mind that my purse would stay with me. I did not expect this purse (or any purse) to be completely pickpocket- or theft-proof. My goal was to discourage pickpockets or thieves and make it more difficult for them to steal anything valuable from my purse, or to steal the whole purse altogether, and I think this purse worked great for that purpose. I was also careful, aware of my circumstances, held it close to my body when in crowded areas (even wearing it under a jacket at times), etc. But this purse carried what I needed on a daily basis, and it was also comfortable and convenient to use. The only thing I wish it had had, but it didn't, was a keychain strap sewn inside with a clasp. Since most hotels use door cards now for door locks, I would not have used it for keys, but I would have found it helpful to, for instance, attach my small coin purse or some other small item that I wanted to securely store inside the purse. But all in all, it's a great travel purse and I look forward to using it again.

Great bag design and quality
Size: One Size
Color: Charcoal
This is my third bag of the same basic style in different colors. I love having the exterior pockets for water bottle. Sunglasses, phone and keys! And the interior is roomy and has good pockets. The bag material is more supple than other travel bags and doesn’t feel stiff.

Very nice but could use a couple improvements that would earn it a 5 star
Size: One Size
Color: Midnight Blossom Print
I'm leaving for a European trip in 2 weeks and this bag was my first choice. I love the design and fabric and the fact that it is anti theft. Nevertheless, it could use a couple improvements that would make it a 5 star bag for traveling. First, there is only one zipper that locks and this really defe
ats the usefulness of the bag being marketed as antitheft. Many of the other bags I looked at had 3 or 4 locking zippers. I will have to put all my most valuable items (phone, passport, money, tickets, and credit card) in the section with the locking zipper. The second design flaw is the two end pockets that are meant to carry a water bottle. I was going to put my umbrella in one pocket and a water bottle in the other. They are so narrow it's really hard to shove the umbrella in, and 99% of reusable water bottles will not fit. The diameter of the water bottle needs to be no wider than 2". The pocket will also fit a skinny size soda can, but not a regular can. I searched for a long time on Amazon and did finally find a skinny 2" wide stainless water bottle. For that reason I kept this purse. You can go here for the bottle that will fit - Insulated Water Bottle, 18/8 (304) Stainless Steel, Super Slim Skinny Mini, Portable, Leak Proof, 10oz

Great Everyday Bag to Keep Organized Great Everyday Bag to Keep Organized
Size: One Size
Color: Charcoal
This is the best bag. It's large enough to carry everything I need for the day, (phone, wallet, keys, glasses etc.) with pockets for everything. It can fit a small book. The fabric is sturdy and the color stays true over time. The safety features are great (thick strap, sturdy locking zippers, RFID p
rotection, grommet for phone charger cord). The side pockets can fit a small water bottle. With lots of everyday use the stiching has come apart at the side pocket and is out of warrantee after a year and a half. I will replace with the same bag.

Pros and Cons
Size: One Size
Color: Midnight Blossom Print
PROS: It's attractive and a good size for carrying the necessities when traveling. Plenty of pockets, including a large zippered one inside. The main zipper at the top of the purse has a carabiner on it, which you can hook onto a metal ring for security. CONS: There's a large outer pocket that zips o
n the *bottom*. The zipper can't be locked in place, so it could be opened when you don't want it to be. Also, there's a 3/4" grommet on the outside of the purse. Some might find that useful, but a hole in your purse will let dust, debris, and liquid in. I bought this in the midnight blossom print. It would've been my 2nd Baggallini bag, but I returned it because of the cons, and because I received a used purse (there was stuff in it).

Travel purse with built in protection
Size: One Size
Color: Black
This is an update of my first product review. I purchased this bag for its anti-theft properties, including the cut-resistant material and strap and RFID-blocking material inside to protect my things while in New York and Times Square on a trip. I was hesitant about this purse due to other reviews co
mplaining of stabs from the cables in the shoulder strap, but Amazon’s ease of merchandise returns convinced me to give this bag a try. I have been using it daily for a couple of months and find It a little heavier than my usual fabric bag but it fits me well in the cross-body configuration and is comfortable to wear. The water resistant material protected my things on a couple of rainy outings and I have not felt a need to lock the zippers because when closed, the zipper lays near my hand on the bag and I would notice if anyone tried to move it. The purse is roomy with one big zippered pouch in the main part, a pocket for cell phone adjacent to a grommet hole for the charging cable, and four RFID-blocking slots for cards. The outside front of the purse has a zippered pouch and a zippered pocket. Behind the main purse is a dual purpose pouch or hang strap with magnetic clasp above and zipper below. The purse holds all my stuff including keyes, car fob, wallet, phone, sunglasses, tissues, lip balm, nail file, etc. I like the option to fasten the main zipper closed in crowds. The cables in the straps have not been a problem: nothing is poking out or poking me. I am pleased with this bag for both daily and travel use.

Lightweight, comfortable crossbody bag, feels secure

I bought these for a trip I went on. Very comfortable to wear as a cross-body bag. The complicated zipper tabs and slash-proof shoulder strap gave me some peace of mind. Compartments for my phone and other stuff. Very lightweight.
