Review on 👜 Baggallini Everywhere Crossbody Bags & Wallets: Lightweight, Water Resistant and Ideal for Women by Los Bizness

This is my third travel bag and first purchase from the Baggallini brand. I read countless reviews and checked and re-checked the specs so I clearly understood the features of this bag and I'm glad I did. Here's what I found after using this wallet on a recent 6 week trip. Inside it is very roomy, has lots of storage compartments, 8 debit/credit card slots, large zip pocket, two lipstick/lipstick loops. and an attached lanyard and detachable zip pouch/coin holder. Outside: pocket at both ends; an open slip pocket that easily fits an iPhone XS, and the other end has a zip pocket that fits a short (6 oz) bottle fully closed in a stretch pouch and zip, or an 8 oz bottle with an open top Zipper. Front: The bag has a flap pocket with magnetic closure and a zip pocket. Behind the flap pocket there is another slip pocket with magnetic closure for storing items. Above the two front pockets is a large full-length zip pocket. On the back of the bag there is a slip pocket with magnetic closure, the bottom of which can be zipped closed and opened to allow the bag to slide over the suitcase handle. Ease of travel...which can be an issue (more on that in a moment). Pros: This bag holds a lot of stuff, which is perfect for road trips, but might be a bit too spacious for air travel or traveling with a lot of stuff. Stroll. The pockets are well placed and easily accessible and with the exception of a patch pocket at the end they keep items safe. Internal card slots eliminate the need for a separate wallet as each slot can hold more than one card. Cons: The shoulder strap cannot be removed to attach to the back of a chair or table leg, so it must be held/fastened to ensure safety. The internal lip/lipstick holders are only suitable for this type of item as the pens/sticks do not attach to these loops. The back vent zip/magnetic snap/bottom pocket zip are unreliable...it will open and if you have something important (phone etc) it can easily be lost without your knowledge. To the manufacturer: 1) providing locking clips for all external zippers, 2) providing a shoulder strap with a detachable/lockable end for attaching the bag to a fixed object, and 3) providing an internal vertical pen/pencil loop(s) that will do so can be located at one or both ends of the card slots. Bottom Line: The bag held up great, held everything I needed (and more!), and was comfortable to wear as a crossbody or crossbody bag.
