Great bag for travel. I like having multiple compartments with zippers. The credit card slots can be a little tight if the seam is off, so I exchanged my first one. Love the second one! (Zappos is awesome.) I also found the strap a little big if you wear it around your waist, but I prefer it over the shoulder anyway.

I ended up returning my Bayliss because even though I did measure before purchasing, it still seemed smaller than I had planned on. Putting a pair of eyeglasses in a hard case inside proved impossible, which is unfortunate because I loved the bag otherwise. Cute, well made, very handy. As another reviewer stated, I did find the credit card slots very tight.

I finally bought this bag and I wish I hadn't waited. I don't carry much at all and everything fit great. I did have the same problem as the last person in their review - my eye glass case wouldn't fit. I loved the bag so much I went bought a slimmer and smaller eyeglass case; now it fits just right. I think I might buy another one of these for the fall season.

Perfect bag for carrying essentials and nice compartments to stay organized. Took it on vacation and found it so convenient to strap it around my waist and forget about it. Highly recommend it.

This bag is well made; however, it is very small. I ordered even though I could see it was small, but thought because it had so many compartments, I could still get a lot of stuff into it. But I could not! I agree with the other people who also remarked about the credit card slots. One side fit them well, but the other side was sewn so tight, that I could not even use the other side. The small front pocket with the leather name tag is useless. I was thinking maybe I could store my phone in there, but it just kept falling out. The zippers are also tight, so you have to hold the bag with one hand and zipper with the other. At the price I paid this bag is not worth it. I will say that it does carry well as a handbag, but not a fanny-pack as advertised. It is quite floppy as a fanny-pack. Overall for me, there were more negatives than positives, so I am returning the bag.

Brands I'd also recommend: I prefer the Sherpani bags to this brand.

This bag can hold just about everything even though it is small. It's perfect for traveling. One reviewer complained her phone fell out of the front pocket...you don't store your phone there - there's a fleece lined pocket specifically for your phone in the zippered area! My sunglasses case does not fit in the bigger pocket, but I've adapted by not using the case. I love not having to carry a wallet. The credit card slots are on the small side, but if you work with it, you can fit all of your necessary cards in. It's sturdy and great quality. Very comfortable on the cross shoulder. I'm now shopping for a winter color to add to my summer bag!

I just love this purse. Have had the brown version for a couple of years. Had to order this nice dark blue one. They are my 'go-to' bags when on a trip or am just tired of my larger leather bags.

It is pretty spacious for such a small bag but you have to wear it as a cross-body bag. I want a bag that can also be worn as a shoulder purse. I think it is a good bag so long as you only want to wear it cross-body.

This is my favorite bag. With the Bayliss I can carry just what I need. I use it when I'm out geocaching or at the grocery store. The credit cards fit perfectly. There are three pen holders. I use two for pens and one for my chapstick. The zippered pocket is great for change. The front pocket stays closed with two magnets for convenient access. The first zippered area holds my checkbook, jimi wallett, and phone. It sits at your hip very nicely. I love that you can use it as a hip purse or a crossover purse. I find that using it as a hip purse when I am more active and bending down is nice because it stays next to me and doesn't get in the way. The key holder is great so that you always know where your keys are instead on having to search in a big purse for them. The Bayliss seems to have been designed with organization in mind. I never have to wonder where I put this or that. Everything goes in its own pocket and I always know exactly where to go for anything I want. It has been one of my best investments.

Loved the bag but the slots for credit cards was too narrow on one side. The second one was just the same. I'm disappointed.

I just got this bag and I am already wondering how I lived my life without it. It is the perfect size. It is big enough for a phone, sunglasses, wallet, and the other small stuff. You will never lose your keys again after you clip them into the handy stretchy clip thing. Five stars.
