Baggallini Large Wallet Bag

These bags are really heavy duty. I first purchased a baggallini cross body bag smaller than this one to wear to hold my junk when walking 3 dogs. I loved it but when summer came I needed a slightly larger one so it could hold dogs water in addition to poo pickup bags, wipes, mace, house key, treats and either phone or tablet as I almost always listen to books on tape. I loved that one also.As I was caring filled poo bags home each day the bag eventually got stinky. I hadn't read the care instructions which recommend hand washing but I figured anything this tough could take machine washing as long as I put it in a mesh bag like I do my bras to protect the hardware. The first bag was yellow and it was stinky and dirty when I washed it. It came out looking brand new. I did hang it to dry because I thought even inside a mesh bag banging around in the dryer would cause damage to the hardware.The second bag had more external pockets which was handy for keeping everything easy to locate. These zippers are just fantastic and have held up better than ones I have had on really expensive purses. All of the different pockets make organizing your contents so much easier.Before Christmas I purchased a purse, again it is a hit. These bags are light weight while still being capable of holding heavy things. I have herniated discs in my neck and all my expensive purses large enough to hold all my junk always leave me with severe neck pain after an hour.So often I am just running into a store or the library and really just need my wallet and keys but than I risk credit cards, cash falling out of my wallet and/or my keys falling out of my pocket. Plus I have to forego my phone. This bag has literally solved all my issues. It holds everything in a zipped safe manner.It is now my wallet, cell phone and key case. There are ample card slots to hold my cards. I designated one of the zipped pouches inside for currency and the other for reciepts and or coupons. The interior wall zipped pocket holds my check book and register. My keys go in the front exterior zip pocket with ths strap in storage. I literally just pick this up and put it in whichever purse I am using. If I run in some where out comes the strap and I turn it into a cross body bag.The additional benefits of the cross body bag are security and comfort. It is easy for a thief to take your purse off your shoulder or out of your cart and run. With the bag cross body they would be hard pressed to do so and now I no longer worry about my bag in the shopping cart being ripped off while I am not paying attention.I had another baggallini bag which came with a smaller change purse type bag inside. It was attached with an 8 inch strap with hooks on each end. I put it inside this wallet as a change purse. I took the strap off of the change purse and by hooking both ends to one of the outer hooks I now can use it as a wristlet as well. In my opinion that was the only thing missing from this particular item. But once you start using these bags you will inevitably purchase one which has this wristlet strap and small matching interior bag and can swap it over.There are loops on the back which turn this into a fanny back also. As I am using this as a wallet I may not use that feature but I am certainly glad to have it should my neck require surgery down the road.25+ years ago when I purchased my first Kipling bag, I did so for reasons of function plus I had small kids and I needed something light weight. I am still using those bags today and they are still in great shape. These are like Kiplings in the quality of materials but they beat them hands down in terms of function and organizational capacity.I can see this bag being used for many other purposes. It would be a great camera bag. You could use it for short hikes and with a carabiner you could attach your water bottle. It is perfect for a small tablet. I can see it being filled up to use as a kids travel bag. There is plenty of room for a book, some snacks and small toys, a hand held video game device or a personal dvd player and several dvds. I wish I would have had it for long plane and car rides when my kids were little. They always wanted to have bags just like Mom and this one is light enough for a child to carry.One of the other great features is there are two loops to hold your pens, or in my case a pen and a stylus. How often did I have to dig to find an ink pen which had made its way to the bottom of my purse? Almost every time and when I would stick one in my wallet it inevitably fell out.The numerous color choices make this even better. I selected red. The brightly colored interiors add a touch of fashion frequently absent in other more utilitarian organizers.You won't want this for formal occasions perhaps but if you are looking for a large combo wallet, phone and key bag to use on its own or to make changing purses a snap, then I strongly recomend this one.

Though not a pack rat, I do have a few collections - flashlights, gadgets, and bags bags bags! :D I've got tons of bags, purses, backpacks, you name it. For every purpose and occasion. But I never seemed to find exactly what I wanted (and believe me, after buying so many bags I knew EXACTLY what I wanted and had an incredible list going of all the necessary features that would have to be included in my "dream bag"). Finally, this is it!I'm an ultralight (Quickie GTi) wheelchair user and I use this bag as my "pouch" under my seat, just behind my legs. It's the perfect size to carry all the essentials plus a few fun items. I'm always amazed at how much I can stuff in there comfortably! I use the outside zippered pocket to hold my small wallet and I do put my cell phone in the cell pocket too. Both are perfectly sized for my needs. The inside is so wonderfully organized. When my girlfriends start talking about purses, I am quick to start bragging about this Baggallini and I usually tell them that although the rest of my life may not be organized, I can breathe a sigh of relief in knowing that my Baggallini ALWAYS is! :DThe clip attachments to the bag and strap make taking the bag off my wheelchair easy so that I can wear it as a purse if I want to use my forearm crutches rather than taking my wheelchair somewhere or I'm running a super-short errand. Sometimes I do wonder if the strap or attachments could be easily compromised by someone with ill intentions to steal the purse, however. I love how adjustable the length of the strap is too because it's short enough to fit around my wheelchair just right and not hang too low, but it can be lengthened when I want to wear it either over one shoulder (rarely) or (more likely) crossways. Finding purses that fit my small frame seems so difficult because they're usually too long in the strap.The ONLY complaint I can even think of regarding this bag is that the credit card holder slots are just too shallow and don't hold cards well. So I don't usually use them (problem solved!). I love the elastic loops. Of course I use one to hold a flashlight, another a pen. The internal zipper pockets remove the need for me to separate my stuff into little pouches (which was what I was doing with my previous purses). Having so many intelligently-placed pockets on this purse is a dream come true!Being that this bag is on my wheelchair 24/7, goes with me EVERYWHERE, and takes a licking but keep on ticking, I'd say it looks fantastic and looks almost as good as the day I bought it! I've not bought another purse since I bought the Baggallini, and I believe I'll be using it for many years to come. I should probably buy another! ;)If you're considering this purse, don't look back! It's worth every penny and then some!

I LOVE this purse. It seems very well made and I have had no problem with material, hardware or stitching. It is just the right size for me. Holds everything I need and then some, without bulk or weight. The outside phone pocket hold my iphone 5 with protective case easily. (not sure how some of the larger phone would fit). The magnetic closure makes it easy access. The outside zipper pocket is convenient and ample to hold a tissue pack and a granola bar without bulging. The way the zipper is sewn on allows a wider opening given the length of the zipper. Same with the zipper to the main compartment of the bag. It zips all the way down the sides, so the purse can open wide, but the fabric sides sewn inside the zipper keep the contents secure. Credit cards easily slip into the 10 provided slots. I even slipped a stack of about 10 of my business cards into one. I keep currency (bills and coins) in one of the larger zippered compartment. My Kindle (with case) fits into the center section between the 2 interior zippered sections. I think an ipad mini would fit as well, but I don't have one to try. The dividers (zippered pockets) are not secured to the bottom of the purse, so coins, pens, etc that slip down are loose at the bottom. The shoulder strap is detachable, and offers a sizable range of lengths that adjust easily. The strap clips on to d-rings sewn into the back of the purse. Both clips are on one side, making it easy to unzip, access contents, and close without removing from the cross body position. I have not had to wash it yet (the red canvas fabric hide dirt well, so I cannot yet report how it holds up in the washing machine. Definitely an easy, efficient purse to carry, might even order in another color...although I really like the red, hard to misplace.

sturdy well made little bag idea for travelling separate pockets for all my needs,phone pocket is a good size tooonly qualm I have is it would be better if the inner pockets were attached to the bottom of the bag

Nice bag but not sure worth it's price but handy for keeping money and docs on you when travelling. Very light, well made and nice material

Very pretty with lots of pockets

Good little organiser bag, idea for travelling. Great value at sale price.

Sono ben contenta di non aver acquistato l'articolo quando era a prezzo pieno, perché l'immagine proposta è migliore rispetto all'oggetto dal vivo. Innanzitutto il colore: mi aspettavo un bel rosso vivo, quando il colore reale è più vicino ad un bordeaux. La taschina frontale apribile con calamita è più adatta ad un pacchetto di fazzoletti che agli smartphone di nuova generazione che sono più grandi. Il tessuto è molto simile al nylon delle borse più famose (k...g), ma pare piuttosto resistente. L'interno è ben organizzato e di un bel colore giallo/arancio. Può essere utilizzata come marsupio facendo passare la tracolla (piuttosto lunga) attraverso i passanti.
