Customer Reviews Baggallini New Classic Uptown Bagg with RFID Phone Wristlet

Too small

This is an awesome bagg and a great color. But was too small for my regular sixed wallet. Lots of storage for smaller items. I sent back and bought a different baggalini, and it's perfect

I love this bag. It is a bit smaller than I was expecting but still plenty roomy. Love it!

I love this bag. It's great for a weekend getaway or a night out. I am not fond of the wristlet (that is why only 4 stars). So I have taken it out and use the D tab for my keys. I also love that its is lightweight and is washable.

The bag arrived promptly. It is as nice as I knew it would be. Exactly as described. Evidently the computer I used to order it did not show colors well, I thought it would be more purple. My fault! Purple ones are all sold out now. I will keep this pretty hot pink one.

It's the size I needed and want. Tight fit, but that's my need so I don't carry too much house around with me. Cute pattern, subtle and calm. Lightweight! Over chest for excellent control of back pain. Just right.

It was a little smaller than I expected but overall it is a good bag and (bonus) waterproof! It's easy access to my phone and other regularly-used items, and I love that it is a cross-body.

I've been carrying this for a week, trying to decide if I'm keeping it or not. First the loves: I love that it's light weight, has a light colored interior (light blue) and the strap can be worn two ways. I love that it comes with a matching wristlet. I love that it has outside and inside pockets with the one big empty compartment (no dividers). I wish it was about two inches wider to hold more stuff. I also wish the website had a chat feature where I could ask Baggallini if they make the same bag just slightly larger. I don't think they make a larger bag that looks the same. Also, the wristlet that comes with it would be perfect if it also had an outside zippered pocket for cash and coins. I don't like them mixed up w/my phone, compact and lipstick inside the wristlet. Love the card slots in there. That's it. I haven't cut the tags off it yet. I wish someone made the perfect purse for me.

This purse nearly hits all the marks (e.g. several pockets, sturdy construction, light colored interior). It's an on-the-go purse not fazed by rough handling. The front pocket can store a bulky smart phone, and there is an additional pocket on the back (with magnetic grommet closure) that is ideal for quick stashing/travel. The primary design flaw is that you cannot consistently open and close the purse with one hand. You end up needing to use both hands which kind of defeats the purpose of a crossbody purse. To solve this and other flaws, I made 4 modifications. These elevated this purse from a good one to an excellent one. I was only able to do this by (1) cannibalizing hardware from my previous purse, and by (2) using craft pliers, needle, and thread. 1. It's impossible to close the top zipper with one hand. Why? The free, 2.5 inch long, flappy end of the zipper is *not* secure. I had to hold that edge of the purse with one hand in order to pull the zipper closed with my other hand. To solve this, I sewed down that tab at the free end of the zipper to the inside of the purse. Now it works like a charm. 2. It's nearly impossible to open the top zipper with one hand. Why? The outside metal pull tab is too small, and it easily falls inside the purse I found myself digging to fish it out many a time. After some trial and error, I replaced the original pull tab with a double end swivel keyring connector attached to a leather tassel. That way, I can pull the tassel from any orientation and open the purse. 3. The wristlet attachment design. The strap and lobster clasp are attached to the wristlet, *not* to the inside of the purse itself. As I wasn't planning on using the wristlet, I cut and sewed the strap to make my own inside key hook. This helps secure my keys. 4. Inside metal pull tab is too small. It's too difficult to just find the pull tab by touch and manipulate it. I replaced it with a bigger leather pull tab. With these changes, I have gotten the most out of my purse. I plan to modify future purses in the same manner.

like this bag for travel - cross body, small enough

This particular item is just not quite big enough for me. Otherwise - great!

Uptown

I like this bag, could be slightly larger and I have 4 handbags now. I use one every day and it is perfect. Thank you.

Love the purse I bought, use it everyday.

This purse is very appealing to the eye. It's made very well. A little smaller than I thought I was getting, but still works fine.

I just used it on a trip, and it was great. The outside pockets work well for things you need quickly, like room key, ID, etc. I thought the bag would be a little bigger, but overall, it worked out great.

I like an over the shoulder bag so I can be hands free, and was looking for something a little smaller than my last baggallini which I liked but no longer needed something quite so large. I liked the uptown bag online because of the shape and the pockets inside--my last baggallini had the built in credit card slots which worked OK for me, but I wanted to transition back to a regular wallet to hold my cards--the uptown bag doesn't have the credit card slots, rather some pockets on the inside for lip gloss/lotion/etc. and then a larger center pocket. I also bought the RFID continental wallet to use with it. Overall the design of the bag is functional for me, but unfortunately the bag is a little tight for the wallet. I am using it and making it work, but whenever I take my wallet out I have to first remove my sunglasses and reading glasses and then put them in after replacing my wallet so this is a little inconvenient. So, I wish the bag was a little bit bigger so getting the baggallini wallet in and out wasn't so difficult.

Lovely bag. I like the design and color, but wish it were slightly bigger.

For such compact purse it has a lot of storage. Front zip pocket is a little tight if you have bulky key ring. Snap pocket on back fits 2 phones standing up nicely. Wish the main compartment zipper went straight instead of curving upward at ends. Makes getting items out a little tight if they are on the outer edges of main compartment. Love lighter interior color. Easy to find item quickly.

I really like that it is so roomy. What I would like is more room for credit cards, or a compartment for credit cards and also a place to use in place of a wallet for Bill's and change. Otherwise, I am very happy with my purchase.

Can't wait to use on my trip.

very nice bag

I love the color and the size of this bag. I have a smaller Baggallini bag that I got before traveling abroad earlier this year. I love it - so lightweight and crushable/flexible. But too hard to fit in everything I need. I wanted something a bit bigger and darker (the other is an orange color) for winter. Everything fits, but the fabric itself is very different than the other bag; it is much stiffer - doesn't have much "give". I'm hoping that, over time, it loosens up. The other thing - and this is weird - as I'm walking around, the place where the strap connects to the metal connector makes a rubbing sound, and it drives me crazy! I guess I'll just have to get used to that part.

I really liked the overall size of this bag and the big pocket on th front. But was very disappointed that it was only one inch deep. A bag this size should be 2 to 2.5" deep. There just was enough space (and I don't carry a lot of 'stuff').

Nice bag but much smaller than I thought.
