Customer Reviews Baggallini Anti Theft Cross Over Crossbody

The quality and features of this bag are really good. If it was just about an inch longer I would given it 5 stars. I like to carry my own billfold and I struggle to getting it in and out.

A great little bag for travel. Big enough to hold the essentials without being overly large.

I bought this bag for travel because it had several compartments that zipped shut securely my iPadN kindle, and phone fit nicely. There is a small rfid "wallet" tethered inside the center of the purse, an area that only closes with a magnetic snap and therefore IS NOT secure. I wanted to eliminate my bulky wallet with the one that came with the purse, I will unfasten the tethered wallet and place it in another compartment. That leaves a dangling leash that I find annoying. If only the center part ZIPPED or if one of the zippered compartments had a loop to hook the wallet to. Then this purse would be perfect!

I ordered this purse after my friend told me about hers and showed me all the safety features. I love the separate pockets and the adjustable strap. One thing I would mention is the magnetic closure for the main pocket could be stronger. It takes two hands to line up the magnets to close the pocket, but it comes apart easily leaving a gaping pocket. I'm just careful to close it before stepping away from a store counter.

Love the security features of this bag and the many compartments. The one negative that I miss from my previous baggalini's is there is no place to secure a couple of pens. Hence I am always searching for a pen.

A little heavier than I thought but I like all of the safety features

I looked at the web page many times trying to see the top and middle of the purse. It has a snap middle closure that surprised me when it arrived in the mail. The purse is made up of three pockets, two on the outside that zip and a middle pocket that snaps shut. For a "security purse" a snap middle seems odd. The two tone bag is fine but the black and white non-rip, mixed fabric is a little cheep looking and a busy weave. I'm getting use to the two tone. I'm not sure about the snap middle.

The fabric & design of this bag are very nice. I like the size as well as the layout of the compartments. The zippers for the 2 main compartments are a little stiff. I would prefer smoother opening/closing zippers.

I was disappointed that the snap isn't strong enough. It keeps popping open. The concept is what I was looking for but overall it is heaver than I had hoped and because of the curved pieces at the to attached to the handles are forever flopping over while trying to get inside. I'm sorry to complain as I do have several different styles of Baggallinis and love them all.

Bottom zipper on the two zipper back side of bag spontaneously opened with my losing a few items. Otherwise, happy with my purchase.

I would have liked it in all black. Thanks for asking.

I am very pleased with this bag. I would just like Baggallini to work on the strap. The strap twists awkwardly. Otherwise, this is a great bag!!

Zippers are good, but too many can be time consuming.

Would love even more if it was just slightly larger

Made purchase online based on dimensions- quite roomy- but neglected to note that there was no cell phone pocket. I'm sure that many others would also appreciate that addition in all bags. I'll check for it in my next Baggalini.

I bought this bag for a trip over seas last year. The strap that goes across your shoulders etc was a bit rough. Then about a few months later one of the security wires started poking out, I can not get it back in and it's very annoying. Will have to get some wire cutters to remove it.

I wanted a larger base so the purse would actually hold my things. The wider base is only in one compartment. That compartment would hold my wallet and credit cards. That same compartment has only a single snap with wide spaces for things to fall out, or for someone to reach in and steal things. Only three slots in the zippered coin purse for plastic cards. Wow. This purse looked so promising. It is completely not as advertised. Perhaps let real working women contribute to design of items.

I loved everything about the bag, the color pattern, the anti-theft properties, the length of the strap. However, it was just too large for international travel. I have used Baggalini bags for three trips abroad, and never had trouble with theft (thank goodness) and when walking in Venice, Prague, or St. Peters burg, I carried the bag on my left shoulder, cross-body, and under my right arm. Despite my loving this bag, I cannot tuck it under my arm. I had to return it only because of the size. I am sorry.

Too big for easy use.

I have been using my bag for about 8 months. Liked it very much for everyday use. Now I have metal wires poking through the strap. Two of the cut resistant wires that make up the strap have sharp ends and have worked their way out of the fabric covering. I have used duct tape to stop them from scratching me for now, until I get a different purse. It won't be a Baggallini!

Bought for a trip to Peru for daily use. Slash resistant strap became permanently twisted. Posted review on the actual bag, but that bag was removed the next day. Baggalini does not see this as a manufacturer defect under their 1 year warranty. I have about 5 of their bags. No more.

I was thrilled aat first, but like other reviewers I have had problems with this bag. The wire is coming out of the strap. It is sticking out and I got cut by it. Sadly, I am just over the 1 year warranty. For what I paid, it should have lasted better.

I bought this purse for my first trip to Italy. We went for 3 1/2 weeks and on within the first week the wire started to come out of the purse strap. We tried hard to push it back in but it would not go and continued to poke further and further out throughout the trip. By the time we got home it was approximately 8 inches of wire sticking out. Additionally, while traveling, we had no way to cut it so it was poking and snagging things the entire trip. We did try to wrap it around to avoid that as much as possible. It is a very cute bag, but failed badly in use.
