Customer Reviews Baggallini New Classic "Heritage" Anywhere Large Hobo with RFID Phone Wristlet

This is my first purchase of a Baggallini bag, and it won't be my last. I prefer these types of bags, because I don't care to lug around a heavy bag. However, some of them have very little structure or the straps have too much structure. This one is perfect! It is lightweight, but large enough to carry more then I ever need. Thank you Baggallini - I will be back for more!

Love this bag

A pocket for everything. Sturdy and washable. Protects my cards from theft.

Better than expected

have not used yet but like bagallini purses have several.

This is the perfect size for everyday or for travel with lots of organization.

I love that this bag is big enough for everything I need, and can be worn crossbody. The only thing I would change is give it padded straps, which are more comfortable on the shoulder.

I have owned this bag for over 5 years, it serves me well, it's roomy, lots of compartments that help keep me organized and I can reach for everything I need because everything pretty much has a place. The luggage sleeve is a convenient feature when I need to be somewhat hands free when traveling.

I just got this bag and I love almost all its features. The only things I don't like are the edges of the material of the strap, they are very sharp and hurt my neck.

I bought this a few years ago in a khaki green. It looks brand after I hand wash it . I love the end pockets. I keep glasses and most often car keys in the other on a lanyard I attached or otherwise a small water bottle. It has a lot of pockets so it took me awhile to organize. My main problem is the long slippery shoulder strap, I had to cut it, resew and pin to be able to get it right. Its a true midsize bag.

I bought this bag to replace a similar grey one. I wish that that outside, side pockets were a bit wider to better accommodate a water bottle.

I'm organizing my new purchase now in preparation for a 3 week trip, and it looks like it will hold everything I need -- passport, wallet, glasses, sunglasses, iPad, phone, water, etc. The color and texture of the fabric are attractuve, and I like the fact that it has no interior dividers (I can fit in a sweater or shawl or light jacket). The only thing I don't like is the side pockets, which stick out too far and spoil the line, but aren't deep enough to hold an umbrella or water bottle securely. (When I bought the bag on the basis of the picture, I didn't realize the side pockets would stick out so much)

I love the features but I wish it had another pocket or divider inside. The color is great! But I've noticed that it spots very easily and I can't clean the spots off which makes it unattractive. Also, the phone wristlet isn't big enough for today's phones, so I use it as a wallet. Other than that, it's a great lightweight bag.

I loved this bag, but it just wasn’t exactly what I needed to travel to Europe. Ended up returning this bag and using a bookbag.

This purse has the perfect size strap to carry your bag over your shoulder, it's also an organization dream. I honestly love everything about it, except.for the color.

I was looking for a bag with pockets that wasn't too large and this is it. There are several pockets of different sizes that can hold phone, keys and anything else that needs to be readily accessible. The only thing I would add would be a latch of some sort for the zipper pull on the bottom of the large outside pocket so it doesn't accidentally pull open causing items to fall out.

I have bought the same Baggallini Everywhere Bag for years. When I went to buy a new one this year, I saw that they switched the exterior pockets on the design. I really like having the two open end pockets, where I have kept my Zojirushi coffee mug on one side and shopping bag on the other. Since that had changed, I ordered this one. Its sturdy and well made, and has the nice fabric of the other bags. However, surprisingly, The Anywhere Large Hobo tote does not seem to have the interior capacity of the Everywhere bag that I had (must have been a large,) does not expand as much, and the top zipper width is much smaller (only10.5 vs 14) , so harder to get my ipad in. Given the published measurements, this was a surprise to me. Its not really a hobo. The end pockets 2 inches are smaller so my coffee mug barely barely fits. That is a definite negative. Also does not have the interior D ring which was opposite the key leash. I am probably going to keep the bag, and because I have no idea if the new Everywhere bag single pocket is as it was before or if it has the extra D ring. But not sure. It's the little things that can make a big difference.

Depending on how you fill it, this bag deflates or inflates to my need. Really keeps me organized and I need that. I know where everything is because there's a place for everything! Thanks Bagalini

My only criticism is that the bag is too wide...making it look cumbersome on my shoulder, possibly because I am petite and slender. If it were 9" W, it would have been better. Fedex did a terrible delivery job - took 13 days to get from CA to PHX and just sat in PHX for about a week.

Baggalini products last forever! I bought this bag earlier this year and just bought another identical one. I keep my Bagallini wallet secure in the center zippered compartment, my face masks in the back snap-shut compartment for aeration, my phone in the easy-access front zippered compartment, a small notebook and pens in the front open compartment, and my keys secure in the small front zippered compartment. I was keeping my sunglasses in a side compartment until I discovered the "hidden" compartment designed to hold glasses just last week. Finally, I take the wristlet on my walks because it perfectly holds my phone, car key, tissues, ID and chapstick. I love the red embellishments. Wish Baggalini did more color contrasts. It's like the bag was designed just for my stuff. The downside (and here's where the bag gets only 4 stars) is that baggalini's handles are too slippery and slide off my shoulder, so I switched out handles on the bag from a much older Baggalini. Another downside is that the side pockets are too small to hold a water bottle, so I just use them as quick placeholders for my glasses and keys.

The bag is sturdy, holds a lot (I tend to really stuff my handbags!), maintains its shape and looks great. I love the casual denim look and all the pockets, inside and out. The only reason the bag doesn't warrant five stars is this caveat: the side pockets are angled more widely from the body of the bag than is shown in the photographs, and if the bag should fall over, whatever is in those pockets (cell phone, glasses, water bottle) will fall out. Beware of this and you're good to go.

Lots of pockets for organizing. But the outside end pockets are useless and just stock out. Since the pockes are narrower at the bottom than the top, items work their way to the top and fall out.

I own 2 Helsinki model bags. It is the first bag that has more pockets than I need. It's perfect. So, of course that model has been discontinued. The closest bag to the Helsinki I could find is this one. It is lighter weight than the Helsinki, I can fit all the things I need to carry(medical supplies) with me but it just isn't as roomy. It has multiple pockets with small openings that are difficult to reach into. I'm using it but I'm really hoping Baggallini brings back the Helsinki model. I do like the olive green color. I clicked on YES I would recommend to a friend but with reservations. I did NOT receive any incentive for this review.
