BaggalliniAnywhere Hobo Crossbody Women 13x9.5 Water-Resistant Travel Purse Handbag Shoulder Bag W/RFID Wristlet

This has become my everyday bag, not just for travel. It looks nice and the exterior pockets are exactly what I need: one for my phone, one for my reading glasses, one on each side for a water bottle and for my sunglasses. And there's an exterior zip compartment where I keep my keys. The interior holds plenty and has two slip pockets for a credit card case and anything else, and a zippered compartment where I keep lip balm, hand cream etc. My only issue is that they designed an exterior pocket with a zipper on the bottom to go over the handles of a suitcase. I don't ever use that because I have a larger bag for travel that I slip over the suitcase handles. And with daily use I find that the zipper can come undone so you could loose whatever you put in that pocket. Otherwise just about perfect!

My husband and I will be traveling abroad in a couple of months, and I want to travel as lightly as possible. Besides my carry-on suitcase, I've been looking for the perfect size travel purse that holds everything I need for the plane ride but won't be too big and unwieldy to carry around. This one fits the bill! It holds my water bottle and umbrella in the side pockets (see my photo), regular purse stuff on the inside plus plenty of room to stash my passport, 3-1-1 liquids bag, and extra grooming and first aid items. Fully packed, it's barely more than four pounds - easy to carry on my shoulder or cross body. The material is sturdy, and it's a nice looking bag. Mine is dark umber; it has an earthy rustic-chic look to it. It has that familiar and very handy Baggallini feature: a big pocket on the back of the bag that can hold an iPad, magazine, etc. yet unzip at the bottom to become a trolley sleeve that slides over the handle of your rolling suitcase if you so choose. Also, there is a hidden slip pocket for your cell phone just underneath the main compartment zipper.I love this bag! If you're looking for an understated but attractive, durable, well-designed bag to hold all your travel essentials, I think you will love it, too.

Baggalini bags are great - very spacious, plenty of pockets and lightweight!

Overall I really like this purse but agree with some of the negative features others noted. Pros - The medium sized interior fits all my items (wallet, small bag with random stuff, saline, Tylenol, lotion). The interior zip pocket is good sized. Bag has lots of outside slip pockets, which is the main reason I like this and my items fit well in them - iPhone 13mini in one side pocket, sunglasses in the other, and iPhone 14 in “hidden” phone compartment. The construction is good but only time will tell if it lasts like my other Baggallinis. Finally, I’m 5’4” and the strap when fully shortened fits me perfectly. My arm rests comfortably right on the top of the bag, which I can’t say for the new model of this bag (the Modern Everywhere) that rests too low even with the strap shortened. Cons - The “red” accents aren’t really red, more of a pinkish/brown/sort of red. The key loop snap didn’t snap into place but I just replaced it as I didn’t see the need to return for that. The side pockets will hold a regular store bought bottle of water but don’t fit my Camelbak bottle; not a dealbreaker for me as this isn’t my travel purse. The side pocket fits my iPhone mini perfectly but is a bit too shallow for the larger phone, which will be a bummer in a couple yrs since manufacturers stopped making smaller smart phones.

Love these handbags! Well made, lots of compartments, and many colors to choose from.

First off, I love purses and handbags. Love them! I have dozens of expensive, leather bags, representing every high-end designer you can think of. I have bought bags in Spain, Italy and other countries known for their superior leather products. But this bag…THIS BAG …is perfection. Unlike my beloved leather bags, this one is lightweight and easy to carry all day long. Unlike my gorgeous fabric bags, this one is durable, and allows me to organize everything I need to carry - including my iPad mini and a flashlight (ladies, never leave home without one!). What this bag lacks in designer cachet and panache, it more than makes up for in practicality and just, plain smarts. I travel a lot, both for work and pleasure, and this bag - THIS BAG! - is the best every day and travel bag ever, with spaces for almost anything you might need on an airplane, strolling the Champs Élysées or just running to your local supermarket. I have stopped my daily switching out of bags to match my outfits, and instead, just carry one of the 3 colors of this bag that live in my closet. Don’t get me wrong - the other handbags in my extensive, international designer collection are works of art, and I love them. But, like art, I think I will be hanging them gallery style on my walls. This bag - THIS BAG - with its lightweight, durable practicality is my go-to forever. I plan to buy every color, eventually. By-the-way: it is a very attractive bag, all on its own. If you can’t make it rock every outfit you own, re-think your outfit.
