Customer Reviews Baggallini Big Sydney Bagg

Great color and perfect size for work or travel. iPad fit well in its case along with everyday essentials. Too big for casual everyday use, but looking forward to using it on my next trip.

The Baggalllini Sydney is a good product and serves the purpose that I purchased it for: to carry lunch, iPad, iPhone, and water. It's not too large and the adjustable strap is great to carry over the shoulder or cross-body. I did, however put WD40 on the zippers as they do not glide as well as I would have liked. Overall its a great work bag.

Perfect size for travel or a girl on the go. Plenty of room for organized storage. Comfortable, adjustable strap. One downside - the zippers on the smaller pockets are sometimes difficult to close.

I like this bag. I downsized from quite a bigger everyday crossbody bag and the majority still fits into this smaller bag. My gripe is that when you're out and about, the 3 large zipper pulls clang against other metal bits on the bag. I like to be incognito and that's not going to happen with this bag since you're clanging everywhere you go. Other than that, I like it!

My primary requirements in a pocketbook are mostly met by this bag: 1. It's crossbody, 2. It has a zip-top closure, and 3 - It has lots of convenient inner and outer pockets for organization. The bag is also stylish and looks great. My primary disappointment is the weight. I tend to avoid leather bags due to the weight and thought this bag would be more light weight than leather, but I was wrong. I do 40-minutes of walking every day, getting to and from public transportation to get to work and this bag is really too heavy, probably due to all the snazzy hardware, for me to lug around all that way. I plan to use it until I find something lighter that will satisfy my rather stringent requirements. If weight is not an issue, this is probably the perfect bag for you!

Zappos sent me someone's USED bag, which was dirty on the inside, smelled bad, and had someone's scratch paper inside. Returning it, of course.

This bag holds a lot so it is good for traveling but beware --it is surprisingly heavy because of the hardware, so a day of walking with it crossbody and you wind up with a neck ache.

I like my smaller Sydney bag, but can't fit my Kindle, sun glasses and wallet without it being overstuffed, so I thought the large Sydney might be the answer--but it was not. It sags and does not hold it's nice square shape the way the smaller Sydney does. And things get lost in the folds of the fabric. I transferred my stuff and it looked and functioned like a bucket bag but worse. Extra pockets didn't help. Just more fabric to struggle with. (Maybe it needs to be attached to the bag better?)

Love all of my old Baggallini bags, but the new metal zippers are difficult to use. Wish they would go back to the plastic type zippers that worked smoothly.

Let me start off by saying that I love Baggallini. For the past ten years they have been my main handbag. I really like the look of the Sydney bag with its chunky details. However, I had to return the first one because the top zipper on the two-zipper pocket broke. They sent me an entirely new bag - again, much love for that. (I had to prove that the bag was less than a year old by providing a receipt, and send $5 to cover postage, but hey - brand new bag.) Two days ago, one of the tiny screws holding the circle together on the other pocket on the replacement bag fell out. I had no idea there were tiny screws in there (take a look on the inside of the flap). I went into Home Depot to see if there was a small enough screw to jerryrig it, but alas, there was not. I'm probably within the year time frame, but two strikes for the design of this particular is all I feel like dealing with.
