Review on 👜 Baggallini QCH608 Hobo Black: The Perfect Women's Handbag & Wallet Combo from Hobo Bags by Lauren Smith

I love the quilted look that is trending right now and I bought a Vera Bradley handbag. While the design was good, the fabric was poor and there were many mis-stitched seams and places where the pattern was incomplete. I love Baggallini so this was my second try to find this type of handbag. This bag has fantastic quilting. It is made of typical windbreaker fabric. I was surprised to see on the label that it was made from recyclable materials. One of the main things that Baggallini does well is the anti-theft features. This wallet doesn't have the clips and pull tabs that my others have, but it does have RFID protection on the card holder. Which will surely come in handy someday, but for now my information has only been stolen by companies and not by me personally, so it's more of a hype than a necessity. The size of the bag is slightly larger than my normal wallet, but I would still classify it as a medium wallet. Where I feel this is not the case is organizationally. The second best thing about Baggallini is the pockets and integrated wallet. It has a large pocket on the outside of the wallet, one with a magnetic closure and the other with a zip closure. Inside there is a large zip pocket on one side and a phone sized pocket and two credit card slots on the other side. It doesn't really work for me - can I bring ID and card? Ouch. No coin pocket? No pen loop or lanyard? All the best that was missing in my previous Baggallini. That means I have to carry a wallet even with pockets built in. Sadness. The workmanship of the bag is still high quality. The zippers all work smoothly and don't bind. There are two straps - a typical wide nylon strap with adjustable buckles and twist locks and a second, shorter, quilted handle. I like it a lot and would like the long handle to be quilted as well. The metal on the wallet gives it weight even when empty. I couldn't find any manufacturing defects. Made in Cambodia. 100% polyester. Machine wash cold, line dry
