Customer Reviews Baggallini New Classic 3-in-1 Convertible Backpack with RFID Phone Wristlet

Finally a bag designer got it right! Thank you for a bag that is lined in a LIGHT color (instead of needing to shuffle blindly through a black hole) I can see the inside of my purse! Thank you for TWO outside Slots for water bottles! Is it really too much to ask (Gucci, LV, Prada and all the other useless designer dummies!!) ? Thank you for making it lightweight and WIDER instead of tall. Wider is easier to carry and find things, trust me! While Ultimately leather would have made it perfect it's the next best thing to perfection. I've wasted so much money on convertible backpacks that met one of my criteria but not the others, always compromising but NEVER SATISFIED with the bag and soon on the search for the right one. I never thought it would be Baggallini but glad I found you!!!!

I just got this bag and I love it. It's large without being too big, great as a mom bag to throw diapers and bottles in. I love it has many pouches and I really like the extra wristlet. The only downside is that when you make it into a backpack (which is why I bought it) you only have one strap and when you take it off the whole slides down and flips over and items can come out of your bag. So, I just bought 2 new straps so I can attach them like a regular backpack. 2 straps should be included with this bag. Also, black straps are not sold separately so I had to get patterned straps. I would prefer black. This could also be fixed by the company by changing the loop that makes it into a backpack into an actual metal clip on.

Think I've had mine for two years and it's a great bag... fits everything I want for any occasion... but.. the backpack strap concept needs to be redesigned. I end up tying the strap in the middle so it works.. but, then it's not so easy to convert back to a crossbody so I just use it as a backpack or carry with the handles. Also, the handles get in the way of opening the main area which is just a little annoying... but probably good so no one can quickly open the bag.

Purchased for trip to Ireland. As in previous reviews unless it's completely zippered it Stays open. The straps for backpack with raincoat on were not long enough.

I used this bag a lot. It's great for travel with outside pockets for my phone/passport/kindle that are super convenient. But the end of the zipper popped off after 6 months of use and I can't close it. It can't work as a backpack hanging open!

What I love about this bag: 1. It is convertible from a cross body to a backpack, and it has grab handles. 2. It is water resistant--I took this to Niagara Falls and it rained lightly, but everything inside was dry. 3. Good assortment of pockets and organization. I love the phone pocket. 4. I like that it comes with the little wristlet/pouch. 5. I love that it has two bottle pockets, one for my water bottle and one for my coffee mug! A few issues:1. I wish this bag was just an inch or two taller and wider. I wanted to use it as a work bag/purse but you cannot put a regular size folder in the bag--it almost fits but not quite. 2. I wish the bottle pockets were a little bigger or elasticized so you can get your bottles in and out a little more easily. 3. The bag is not as big as it looks in the picture. Overall, I really like this bag and would recommend it. I would love it if they had a slightly bigger version of this bag, maybe one with a laptop sleeve, but still convertible to a backpack.

The versatility of this bag is exactly what I was looking for. I love the ability to carry it as a purse, and when I need to, I can quickly throw it on my back to free up my hands. The bottle pockets are a must for me. Unfortunately, the zipper pull on one of the front pockets was missing. ( the reason I could not give this purchase a 5 rating. ) This is my 5th Baggallini purchase. I am quite sure it will not be my last.

I love Baggallini in general because they're lightweight and thoughtfully designed.I had to take a star off because (1) the strap needs to be about 6-9" longer - when used as a backpack, if you're wearing a coat and/or weigh more than 150 lbs. the circulation under your armpits is cut off. (2) The fabric loop for the backpack strap needs to be replaced with a means of keeping the strap in one place after it's inserted - once you get one arm into the strap, it slides so that it's very difficult to find the other strap, get your arm into it, and then readjust the strap and weight evenly. Plus the backpack loop is now shredding from use. Maybe TWO straps to attach to the ring at the top back? Other than the strap issues, I'd give it a 10.

I bought this bag but realized it did not have a strap for the backpack. Is there anyway I can order one

It is a great bag and I will use it but am disappointed that it will not fit my 15" mac. It was the reason I bought it. But for the rest of my stuff, it's perfect

I bought this a little over a month ago and I am pleased. I wish though it had more pockets on the inside. It does have the two slip pockets and a zipper pocket but I feel it needs at least two more pockets. Phone pocket needs to be about 3/4 of an inch bigger. It does hold my phone by my phone sticks up about 1/4 inch so I don't feel like it is secure enough. It is just the right size to be used as an everyday bag. I wear it a lot like a backpack in stores to free up my hands while shopping. Took it to the theme park and it was just right. It held two bottles of water and 2 rain poncho's plus all my everyday items. Pretty functional purse.

I love Baggallini bags and wanted to add a larger tote to my collection that I could use on commutes to work and long weekend trips. As usual, there's all the bells and whistles of pocket organization but, what appealed to me in particular about this bag are the side pockets for a water bottle and umbrella. I also love the three different ways that it can be worn and slipped over my luggage handle. Small issue was the Baggallini tag was imprinted crooked on the smaller bag insert that goes inside the larger tote. Finally I love this shimmer blush color!

I am a backpack purse person only. Pocket storage is great as is access to main interior of purse. Zipper works well as some backpack purses the zipper can't be zipped unless you have three hands. The 3 in 1 is really great. My only draw back is the back back strap. Buckle gets stuck in either side of loop and makes getting bag on back and through arms difficult.

I'm a Hospice nurse who goes to peoples homes or care facilities. I bought this bag as my nursing bag because it's sturdy, not too big, easy to clean and lots of compartments to place my necessary items for work. It has been perfect for this purpose. I would have given five stars, but unfortunately there is a front pocket, which I access frequently, where the lining constantly gets caught in the zipper. I'm afraid at some point the zipper going to get completely stuck or the lining is going to rip. I'm sure it's a fluke in this one bag.

I am enjoying the use of my new bag. It has plenty of pockets to hold all the stuff that I want when I am traveling. One problem that I have encountered is difficulty in putting on the bag as a backpack. The strap adjustment gets caught as you try to put it on.

I modified from a back pack, taking strap so that one hook on opposite sides of bag. Now it is adjustable to my shoulder or over my head to shoulder. It's a bit big for a purse- 3 inches less in length & only 3 inches wide would be a perfect Purse! I did by in Navy & Black I have their purses disappointed by the time you use all of the great pockets there is no room for in the middle of the purse. Instead of 1 inch needs to be 3 inches wide. on side add 2 water bottle pouches, Please.

Used this for recent trip to Paris and it worked great. Only complaint is that the backpack feature isn't ideal. It slides on the center tab so when you take off and on it tips a lot in one direction and that makes it clumsy. It also dug a bit into the top front of my arms when I was sleeveless. I do love the look and its function was great, lots of zippered pockets.

Good looking Convertible backpack/tote. It's a keeper. I purchased "Navy". However it's not a true Navy - it's more of a Royal Blue. So if you are looking for the normal deep dark Navy, this isn't it. Because it was my first purchase I received a discount, so it was worth it.

Love the bag other than the RFID wristlet was missing and Baggalini would not send me one. They said I had to jump through hoops to file a claim and it could take weeks.

I thought it would be bigger....I am using it as a work bag...thinking I would consolidate everything into one bag but.....NO...not enough room !!! While I really do love it, I may have to get another one!!!

I bought this bag because of the color. When I received it, its not a bright or true red like the picture. It's more burgundy.

Well-made, good materials, and good features, but I had to return it because it's too small for a gym or a computer bag. I wish it had enough room for a pair of sneakers and a towel.

The width of this bag is perfect from side to side. From front to back, it's a little thin, though. If it were just an inch or two wider, it would hold everything I need it to. I suppose, however, it prevents you from overloading the bag and killing your back. Otherwise, it's typical wonderful Baggallini with must-have features and lovely, durable fabrics.

The bag is more of a maroon than red. Other than that, how can you not love a baggallini?
