Baggallini Everywhere Travel Cross-Body Bag - poor quality, not the bag shown - be sure to check out my photos
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016
The bag I received is not the bag shown in the photos included in the listing for the Baggalini Everywhere Travel Crossbody Bag. The close up photos show a zippered pocket on each end of the bag and reasonably good construction â seams are straight without huge puckers and it stands up nicely. The bag I received has all kinds of Baggalini tags that appear to be legit, but the quality sure looks like a counterfeit bag..This is the bag I received â (see my photos)- One end is a 6 ½â flat pocket with no room to hold anything. They just laid the pocket on the end of the bag and sewed it in with all the seams except the top.- The other end has a vertical zipper from bottom of the bag almost to the top. Inside this is a pouch with an elastic top pocket. This extends into the interior of the bag, so takes away from the space inside the bag. It appears to be intended to hold a bottle of water, which would take up quite a bit of the interior space.- Construction quality is deplorable â seams are not straight, big puckers in the seams, the bag will not stand up straight. It looks like it comes from Wal-Mart or some other discount store. At the very least it must be a quality control reject. The color is very dull and boring, not worthy of the name âPacific.â It is â in a word â ugly!!- Zipper at top â extends more than 2â at one end and does not even close properly at the other end.This is not an $85 bag any way you look at it. What a letdown because the bag with zippered pockets received glowing reviews on many sites. This is not that bag.Needless to say I am returning the bag. What a disappointment because I thought it would be the perfect solution for ,u upcoming corss country trip
Let's clear up some questions

Just received my Baggalini Everywhere bag and I love it! There were many questions and different answers here about the bag. I wasn't sure what to expect. I just received the Black Cheeta bag and hope you will find this info useful.First off the color is gorgeous!. I was worried that the "cheeta" would be to obvious. It is not! If you are on the fence, don't worry. It is so subtle, at first I thought they sent me the solid black (which would have been fine, but it was almost double the price). I am very happy with the color. You really have to be looking carefully to see the cheeta. It just looks lightly embossed.The coin purse which is attached inside, DOES have RFID. Many people said it didn't. Maybe these were older versions. See the photos of the tags.Many people stated that is would not fit a Galaxy Tablet. One of the photos shows my Galaxy Tab A which measures 6.5 by 10.5 inches in the case and it fits easily into the main compartment. My Galaxy S6 phone in a flip case just fits in the front small left zipper compartment and still zips up.There are no visible grommets of rivets on the bag or straps. It is all stitched for reinforcement. The interior is tan/khaki.The side pockets: One is open and 7 inches tall. It does not fit a Kirkland water bottle, but fits eyeglasses nicely. It will fit a narrow bottle like those Crystal Ice drinks. It is tight but doable. The other side pocket has a zipper and a small elastic pouch inside. Too small for a water bottle, but good for sunglasses. It is 8 inches tall.I am so happy with this bag. Can't wait to use it on a 3.5 week trip to France and England this spring!
Gushing over my new Baggallini!

I think I've finally found the perfect purse. I admit, I have a bag obsession, and this is the 6th Baggallini product I own, but these are awesome! I purchased the charcoal with the fuchsia interior, and it's a beautiful, classy combination. The purse is both functional and stylish, with well organized pockets. The depth of the purse is ideal, so I'm not searching so hard for something at the bottom. There's even a surprise pocket tucked behind the flap pocket on the front--it's a great spot for my phone. I have an iPhone 5 in an Otterbox case, which fits perfectly in the front zipper pocket as well. Wearing the bag crossbody or on my shoulder is comfortable. It stands up on its own when filled, and can carry a 16.9 oz water bottle in the side pocket. The other side zip pocket is a nice, protected spot for my sunglasses. The new strap material is much prettier than the original design. My previous favorites were the Sydney and the Avenue tote. This bag is smaller than both of those, but I'm not missing the extra size. As a mom who has downsized from diaper bags and still carries everything we (or she!) might possibly need, this bag accommodates--without being too bulky!
Disappointed the item shown was not what was received.

I love the Baggalini Everywhere Bag show in the picture. Unfortunately, what I received is evidently a revised version. I have had the one pictured for approx. 3 years and love it. The compartments are perfectly sized and I love the zip compartments on each end. The one I received had bigger front compartments and one of the side pockets had a vertical zip with a pouch within - not appealing, and on the other end an open pocket - again, not appealing. I returned the one I received. In the process of the return, I reviewed my order history and found that the picture initially shown was for the bag I wanted, but when I clicked on the picture, it turned into the version I received. Someone needs to take down the incorrect picture on-line if the original version is no longer available.
Quality Purse with Oodles of Pockets
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017
This is a quality purse with SEVEN pockets on the outside (see my photos). It also has a large snap pocket on the back that you can unzip at the bottom and use it as a sleeve to slide the purse on top of your luggage handle to make it easy to carry through the airport.The only thing that doesn't make sense is that it has multiple credit card slots inside, but a separate RFID-blocking mini-purse inside connected by a tether. Why isn't the RFID-blocking in the credit card area? This doesn't make sense.It is made with quality construction, tough handle (but not cut-proof) that's wide enough to be comfortable on one's shoulders. It provides lots of space and has a silky, quality feel to the fabric and well as the handle. It also has a lovely magenta-colored lining inside the center of the purse and all the other pockets on the outside.

I did a lot of research, asked questions and read every review and finally took a chance and ordered this bag in portobello colour. This is the first review I've ever written with such enthusiasm. It is the perfect size, the colour is exactly what I wanted and is exactly what is pictured and the measurements were accurate too. I love the smaller attachable zippered extra bag for makeup or whatever. The purse is light as a feather, hangs lovely as a crossbody, shoulder or hand bag. The side zipper fits and securely holds my stubby (333 ml) water bottle almost out of sight. The zipper on the back opens so you can securely slide it onto a luggage handle and closes for an extra large open pocket which holds my iPad with 1/2" showing at the top. I read that this pocket zipper opens too easily but if that's a problem you can just run a thread over it to make sure it's secure. I love the credit card slots (10), easy access, very handy. The inside bottom either lies flat or expands to hold even a big sweater. Definitely not oversized and yet my iPad has plenty of room. My iPhone 5c fits in either of the front pockets with room to spare. It's such a well made, secure, durable feeling and looking bag that it should last a long time I use the slot side pocket for pens, it's too deep and narrow for much else. I paid full price for this purse so this review is completely unbiased. It's worth every cent and I couldn't be more pleased! Never had a bag I liked more and as far as I can see, it's the only bag I'll order in the future.

This bag was perfect. I have used a bagallini bag for 6 years and it was getting a bit shabby. This replacement was excellent. All the specs that I expect from these bags !

I now have 5 Baggallini bags, all different colours, and although I primarily use them for when Iâm travelling because they are light and have plenty of pockets/compartments to put items in; I also bought one for daily use after I had an operation so my handbag was not so heavy. Iâve been very pleased with every one & would thoroughly recommend.

Ordered the Pewter Floral - Was advertised as having pink lining as well as some reviews say they got pink lining.. however I received purple lining 3 times in a row. They donât make it with the pink lining anymore so buyer beware false advertising, if thatâs what youâre expecting. You get purple lining now.I'll still give 4/5 stars because the wrong color lining.. but its still nice a shade of purple and really nice bag. The material is top quality and feels nice and easy to clean and looks really cool. I love the outer floral design. I like this bag fro many reasons mainly being that Its replacing my old diaper bag and thereâs plenty of room in this to fit my large clutch wallet and other stuff. the pouches are roomy and can fit a diaper and some wipes in themâ¦. or things if similar sizes. I recommend this bag. Just dont waste your time returning the pewter floral one 3 times a row like I did trying to get the pink lining. They make it in purple now.

I bought this bag for travelling. It is the perfect size for money, passports and tickets and is waterproof. There is a small side pocket for umbrella or water bottle, lots of other pockets. A small attached wallet was perfect and secure for cards and money. The strap does not slide and was comfortable on my shoulders. My only regret was not buying a brighter colour - the beige is practical but bland. Iâm glad I bought it. There are cheaper versions but Iâm happy with it.

I love this purse! I bought it to take on our family vacation. It is large enough to hold my SLR camera in its camera bag, as well as glasses, a wallet, cell phone, etc. It has 8 credit card slots sewn right into the inside of the bag, which is very handy and they stay in there securely. There is an attached matching change purse inside, a cell phone pocket on the outside, a pocket perfect for glasses and a secret side pocket, perfect for holding a small water bottle, or anything else that size. There are several other pockets. The largest is great for holding maps and papers and closes by a magnetic button, so it is fast to open and close. The purse material is water resistant and the strap length is adjustable. The pattern on the bag is very attractive. It is the most useful purse I have ever had and it is not heavy. I love that the material inside the bag is purple (and not black) so I can easily see objects and find my keys, etc. I highly recommend this bag for both trips and daily use.

This bag is everything. I used to be a Kate Spade girl, but I got tired of lugging around a heavy leather bag. I'm an on-the-go kind of gal and prize durability and practicality. This bag offers both! There's a pocket for everything so I can stay super organized, and with the built-in card slots, I've ditched my big heavy wallet. This bag wears so well as a cross-body and is made of strong, durable canvas. The strap is akin to a seat belt in a car -- does not snag or pill. I love the pop of pink lining on the interior. So fun! Overall, I highly recommend this bag!

Looking for a replacement for a beloved but fraying nylon cross-body bag, I was a little hesitant to pay so much for a fabric bag but I'm delighted. It's lightweight and fits comfortably cross-body. The size, exactly as described, is roomy and perfect for all my gear but not overly large. Extremely well thought-out and attractive design with useful and easily accessible pockets and compartments - so many I can't fill them all. There's still enough room for a rolled up sweater, a small umbrella or a water bottle, or maybe even all. Even my tablet fits. The light interior and key hasp means no more rummaging through a dark interior to find my keys! I bought black for winter but will definitely be buying another color for spring and summer. It's just too practical to pass up.

I was looking for a travel purse with a sleeve trolley. I researched online for quite a while before deciding on this purse. I love that it is lightweight with a bright interior. What a great design feature. There are many pockets and I'm not using the zippered water bottle pocket yet. The cell phone pocket fits my large iphone just fine. I bought this months before I'll be flying anywhere so I use the trolley sleeve as another pocket. For years I've had a knapsack style purse as I don't like heavy purses on one shoulder. I'm now a lover of the cross body purse (or use comfortably on one shoulder)!

Me encanta esta bolsa! El espacio, el tamaño, los compartimientos, todo es justo lo que buscaba!La compré especialmente para viajar con ella y es impresionante todo lo que le cabe! En alguna ocasión alcancé a meter en el compartimiento principal, mi cartera (grande), celular, monedero chico, lentes de sol, botella de agua de 600 ml, guantes, un bálsamo para labios, una botellita de gel antibacterial, una baterÃa portátil de tamaño mediano y hasta un paraguas de los plegables! Todo esto, además de las cosas que llevaba en los otros compartimientos.La usé en dÃas muy lluviosos asà que le tocó su buena mojada, sólo se humedecieron un poco las cosas que estaban pegadas a la tela que estaba más expuesta a la lluvia y una vez fuera de la lluvia se secó rápido.El único defecto que le veo es que la bolsa de atrás, que se puede abrir por la parte de abajo para ponerla en la maleta, se abre al ir rozando con el cuerpo mientras vas caminando, en varias ocasiones me tocó encontarla abierta a más de la mitad, afortunadamente no metÃa nada de importancia ahà y solo una o dos ocasiones se me llegó a caer algo. DeberÃan de ponerle un seguro o algo para que no se abra tan fácilmente.Aún asà me gustó tanto que la agarré para uso diario y por el color no se notan las manchas, se ensucia poco y se limpia fácil. Además de que se ve durable, de buena calidad.

I bought this purse to take with me on a trip to Japan, and for future travels. It had a lot of features I was looking for (water resistant, organized, simple, and not too expensive), and I have to say this bag exceeded my needs. I wore it comfortably for the most part, for 2 weeks. The strap is a soft nylon, but after the amount of walking that I did, it did start to become uncomfortable close to my neck after extended periods of walking (as any purse probably would), but very comfortable apart from that. It has an adjustable strap so you can wear it as a shoulder bag to switch it up. The material is pretty durable and wipes clean. Zippers are good quality too.I over-packed the bag several times on day excursions, on flights, on trains, and out shopping and it held up great!. I bought it in black (sandy colored inside). I didn't use the card slots in the purse, but the little rfid pouch that it comes with was handy. The slots on the side of the bag fit both compact umbrellas and most standard size water bottles. At it's max, I was carrying an umbrella, a waterbottle, wallet, a 10inch samsung table (in a case), souvenirs, phone, random purse junk, and sometimes snacks. as well as other odd's and ends. The front pockets were good for documents, kleenex, and other things you need quick access too. The back open-pocket also unzips so it can go over a luggage handle was also a nice feature for my travels.After my trip, I loved it so much that it's become my everyday purse. It's easy to find things in it and the 2 clips for keys, or a pouch or whatever are handy when I'm rushing. I'll most likely get another one in the future, should I need one.Cheers.
