I've been looking for the perfect travel purse for a long time and have tried quite a few, some designed for travel and some not. I've just returned from a month-long trip with this Baggallini purse, and it is a great fit for me. It holds much more than it looks like it will, including a half-liter bottle of water. The front pocket holds multiple lip balms, an Altoids tin that I keep meds in, hand sanitizer, Kleenex, etc. The upper pocket on the front panel is perfect for passport, cell phone, receipts, hotel keys, a thin paperback, and so forth. My cell phone (iPhone XR) will fit in it vertically, leaving half the pocket for other things. The large inside pocket has a great shape, with the bottom being about 2.5-3" deep. I just had a water bottle, a bottle of cough medicine, sunglasses, reading glasses, some candies, headband, ink pen, hand fan, and still have a bit more room. There a slots for credit cards/license, as well as a separate thin clutch that is attached by a clip and is removable, perfect for cards, cash, change, receipts, etc. There is also another zipper pocket inside. The large pocket on the outside back panel is also great, sized for cell phone, passport, etc. My only compliant with the bag is the zipper of this back pocket. I haven't had any trouble with it, but it seems it would be safer if the zipper had to pull up to open, rather than down. However, when I'm traveling in crowded areas, I put cell phone and passport in another pocket, and use the back pocket for Kleenex, lip balm, etc, just to be on the safe side. We travel extensively and this is by far the best travel purse I've used. I've taken it on 3 trips now. Construction is excellent, sturdy. It looks great, very classy. It's big enough for what I need, but small enough to take in crowded areas. I can't say enough good things about it. Read more

I bought this and a larger one (to replace existing version 1:1), thinking I'd choose one. These are so great, I'm keeping both sizes! I don't love purses, and like to be uncumbered. My larger baggallini holds everything extra when I need it for work (2 call phones, ipad mini, etc). But this one, small enough to fit *inside* the slightly larger model, will be great for non-work travel, summer in dresses, etc. It'll fit all the basics, including pens and sketchbook. The RFID wristlet fits my cell and wallet if I want to slim down further. I can toss out older, never-quite-right purses now. My prior baggalini lasted years as my only handbag, and is only now showing wear. The nylon fabric is lightweight but strong and water resistant. I hope they never change this brand. Read more

Edited review after using this purse for daily use and travel. I still love it. The size and organization work well for me. I tend to change things around a lot, sometimes used the zippered pouch for cash / credit cards sometimes not but no matter where I put things there is always adequate room for what I normally carry. It worked well on a four day trip last year too. I bought the charcoal grey first and after using it I ordered the Pacific blue. Update 6/21: Still have these bags although I don't use them continuously. I normally never liked the north/south style handbags but this one is an exception. I recently began using the Pacific Blue one again and everything is so easy to access, especially my sunglasses. I stopped using the pouch for cash and credit cards because it takes up too much room. Instead I have a slightly smaller and more flexible travel pouch that has two zipper pockets so I can separate the cash from credit cards that slides into the main compartment nicely. Using this bag has helped me eliminate things I don't need to carry all the time making it so lightweight and comfortable. I still do not like the ribbon straps Baggalini uses and am thinking of making my own if I can find the right fabric. Out of all the Baggalini purses I have bought over the years this crossbody style is the only one I have kept so far. Still recommend this bag. 5/23/23: I recently purchased this bag in black at a reduced price. It is essentially the same as my other one except for the strap. This one is actually a a bit narrower which surprised me and the material is different. It is not the thick shiny material as my other bags have but I like it better because it doesn't slide off my shoulder so easily. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that the smallest front pocket has a large wrinkle in it; not sure it will come out. Read more

Love this little purse. Bought it for a trip and it fit all my needs. Not too big but enough space to fit phone, wallet, small med pack, tissues and more. Love that it isn’t bulky Read more

Very cute well made small travel bag. The green color is so pretty and the size is perfect. I wanted a smaller bag to take on a cruise that would hold all the essentials. It has a couple pockets for your phone and a secure wristlet for your ID and credit card. Read more

Love the design, material, and grey color. However, it is way too small to fit all my things in it. Read more

Very pretty black Baggalini, with a little bit of pattern to it so it’s not just flat black. I have this same purse in blue, so I know where everything is organized when I change over to the new purse. Love the several compartments- keeps things separated and organized. Holds a ton of stuff in this small purse without being messy or heavy. Love it. Read more
