Review on πŸ”’ Secure and Stylish: Baggallini Anti-Theft Free Time Crossbody Bag by Jennifer Redmond

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not enough anti-theft/outer pocket protections

Although I liked the size and design (pictured) - bought to replace a smaller Baggalini shoulder bag with no RFID blocker and no duplicate cables in the strap - I had to give it a go return. The zippers on the outer pockets have no anti-theft/security features except for the smallest of the front pockets. If you look closely at the photos in the product listing, some colors are not represented adequately, which I certainly didn't notice, only the smallest outer front pocket has a loop at the end. The zipper goes through this loop when closing, preventing someone from simply reaching the zipper and quickly opening the bag. This case is too small for my iPhone 6s and the lack of such a loop in other external pockets makes it difficult for me to slip my phone into another external pocket (for quick access). Like some other reviewers, I am dismayed at the size of the gaps at the ends (larger on one end than the other) of the (lockable) top zip - a zip that opens inside the bag - because small items such as pens, a pen a phone/tablet, etc. may fall out. The lack of any anti-theft device in the back pocket didn't particularly bother me as I was only planning to use it as a sleeve to slide the luggage handle through, but this could be an issue for those wanting to use this as an actual bag.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • No automatic
