Review on 👜 Baggallini Everyday Bagg: Stylish and Functional Bag for Daily Use by Kim Conner

First of all, I was confused by the dozens of reviews I read about this bag. However, there was a big recurring theme that almost everyone liked the previous version of this bag a lot more than this one and that this bag was too small. People listed big differences in what they could (or couldn't) pack in a bag. And that made my head spin a bit. (By the way, Baggallini has an even newer version of this bag than this one, which draws on many of the same design cues as the bag you're all missing. In the meantime, I'll be checking out THIS version as it's the only one I've ever had would have). I am a person with small pockets. I usually carry five things. 1: my reading glasses in a hard (but thin) case, 2: my iPhone 11 (in an Otterbox case), 3: Chapstic 4: car keys, and 5: my credit cards, grocery cards, etc. (same for everything else cavities). I want a bag that can carry these things and nothing more. I want a lightweight small shoulder bag that I hardly know exists. And in this bag I found it. There have been many inconsistencies in the many reviews I have read about the placement of glasses cases in the main compartment. Some said "yes”, many said "no”. Being necessary for me, I fully expected this bag to arrive in the mail, only to boomerang back to the seller the next day because it's too small. Some things you just have to find out for yourself. Not only is it NOT too small, I could fit THREE glasses cases in the main compartment, which means my glasses case fits in easily, leaving room for my iPhone, wipes, and lip balm, and that compartment isn't even full yet. So if you want to know if your glasses or sunglasses will fit, the answer is YES! if you get a pewter color (see photo of my glasses case bag). Now I'm wondering if the different colors of this bag are slightly different in size. Maybe some colors are a bit smaller? What else can explain this discrepancy? The fabric is stiff (which has caused many complaints). I like it because if it's too flexible, the bag folds on its own when you put it over your shoulder. The back pocket closes with a button and easily fits my iPhone 11 into an Otterbox case, but I prefer to keep my phone in the zipped compartment (just a preference). The front flap pocket might be good for cinema or concert tickets, but not much more. It would be more useful than the zip pocket it used to be. The wallet strap is unobtrusive. Not good, but not bad either. It adjusts to be quite long to act as a shoulder bag so I'm happy. And the color of the strap goes well with the color of the bag. good enough for me I won't comment on the handbag part because everyone else said a lot. It's very pretty and works great. Over the years I've noticed that rude old men in suits in boardrooms condescend to carry women's bags. Most wallets work ridiculously (or mostly not). Let's face it, most phones these days are similar in size. The hulls of most classes are the same size. Most things that women wear are of predictable sizes. Measuring less than half an inch, these bags simply show the utter lack of research that bag designers do. If Baggallini used this formula for this bag, did these men at least consult their wives and girlfriends OR maybe only the women came up with it? Because of the incredible functionality of this bag, I'm sure it should be the last. Anyway, this bag is made for how a woman lives and works in this world. What a refreshing change!
