Customer Reviews Baggallini International Calais Crossbody Bag

This has solved so many purse problems. I love the special hidden phone pocket, I love the wallet feature (although the extra clasp seems like overkill. A magnet would have been fine. I love the Pewter style. It is very comfortable, light weight, keeps me so organized and is attractive. One of the best purchases I have made in a while.

Usually, my favorite style is the everyday bag. But with Covid, I was looking for something a little bit bigger to hold my hand sanitizer, my mask, with a separate spot for my credit cards and cash. This purse is perfect. I keep my mask in the middle spot when I dont need it, my phone is the secret phone pocket, keys in the outside zipper pouch and hand sanitizer in the outside side slip pocket. Its the perfect purse for these tough times. I have the silver, and its gorgeous.

I bought this bag in a Summer print a few months ago. I love it so much that I bought one in a neutral gray print for Fall/Winter.

My new Calais crossbody arrived today and it's perfect. I've been using the small triple-zip and Everyday bags for years. The built-in wallets keep me organized and Ithe smaller size keeps me from lugging too many things around. They're lightweight but sturdy, and it's great to be able to machine-wash them when the coin pocket starts to get that ugly metallic change smell. However, they've never been QUITE big enough. My Kindle doesn't fit at all, and neither do my sunglasses or a pair of gloves, unless I take something else out. Now, with the need to carry masks and sanitizer, space is at even more of a premium. I've kept looking at medium-size bags -- but until recently, none of them had those nifty built-in wallets. Now comes the Calais crossbody. There's the wallet, along with all the slots and zip pockets I could possibly want to keep myself organized -- including that discreet but easy-to-reach little slip pocket on top of the bag for my phone. It's small enough that stuff won't get lost in the bottom, but big enough so that my Kindle and sunglasses fit perfectly, with room for my notebook and the few other things I carry daily. I bought the "sterling shimmer" color, which is a nice neutral with just enough shine to dress it up a bit without being glitzy. My only complaint is having to undo the latch, lift up the flap AND unzip the zipper to get at the wallet. It's a bit of a pain, but the flap does look stylish, and it's a small matter. If this bag shows up in more colors, I'll probably acquire another one in a print or a dark winter shade sooner or later. Very well-designed bag!

Love this bag! I usually carry a larger bag, but I have everything in this bag with no problem. Built in wallet section is much bigger than an actual wallet. Several compartments for everything else.... phone, sunglasses, cosmetics, pepper spray.... you name it. Good quality zippers and that great Baggallini fabric in a cute print. Love that they are doing more prints lately. Also, it was delivered in just a few days.

Have had nothing but Baggalinis for years, but this is my favorite of all!

I always buy leather bags, but this is such great quality: I have changed my mind

I purchased this bag a month ago and I'm so thrilled with it. It's the perfect size, not too big or too small. It has lots of compartments to securely hold everything I need without being too heavy. And love the color too!

Everything is easily accessible. Perfect size for everyday or for travel.

I are very pleased with the Calais Crossbody. Just the right size for everything I need.

I have at least a half-dozen different Baggs but there was always something not quite right for an every day bag - usually too big. The Calais Bagg is just 7" tall & 3" deep with 3 sections to organize all my "stuff", plus a "pocket" large enough for my iPad Mini & a hidden pocket that I use for my phone. I am short, 5'1", & I wear my new Bagg crossbody. The 3" depth is a nice size & allows me to carry my wallet with all my cards. I am hoping to start carrying just a couple cards, money & license in the front section which is set up just like a wallet with RFID & very secure. All in all it works for me. My Bagg is silver which is a pretty grey shade - good for any season.

This is such a great bag, with lots of pockets. Lovely colors. Just right for late summer and early fall! Love it!

I liked the new color and that is is all RFID. Also I like the different divided sections and can't have too many credit card slots in each section. Coin purse section??

Very happy with size and style - love the built in wallet - plenty of pockets and room -

I really love my new bag. It is so light and it really helps reduce shoulder pain. All the pockets make it easy to organize and find items quickly. It is also very attractive! The size is perfect!

I bought this bag for my sister's birthday and she loves it. She loves mid-size bags and the pattern is so joyful. If my favorite Baggalini, the Everywhere bag came in this pattern I would buy one for myself. I love a bigger size and have 5 of them.

This is the second Calais Crossbody bag I have bought. It is one of only two baggallini bags that have the organization I love. In the billfold organizer, it has a long slot for dollar bills and six credit card slots. My other favorite is the Original Everyday bag but the Calais is just a little deeper. I love the ability to wash the bag and I often spray the outside after I have been out. Love the one inch width of the double, adjustable straps. They have moved the pen holder to the non zipper side which is so much better. Still looking for the secret cell phone pocket someone mentioned in another review.

I bought this bag about three or four weeks ago, but I haven't carried it yet, thanks to the Pendemic. It's a cool bag! For being a small bag, it has some good sized pockets. The zipped compartment in the front is REALLY nice. It has all sorts of places to put things we need in an rfid compartment. I've read peoples' comments on other styles about not enough card slots; this one has eight card slots. Also, I love the Fuchsia color, and just now I discovered there is a secretive phone slot. The quality looks good. I like everything about it.

This bag holds everything I need. Built in wallet is perfect so I don't need a separate wallet. Love the hidden cell phone pocket. You can't see it and you can't see when my phone is in it keeping it safe. This is my new favorite Baggallini. **Please make this in grape or violet. I need a new purple Baggallini bag. Thanks!

I ordered this in sterling shimmer, and it is a lovely looking bag. The shimmer isn't too shimmery, and looks good with everything. The RFID pocket is handy for a driver's license and credit card so nobody can steal your info without you knowing, and the clasp holding the pocket closed looks nice while being functional. As far as carrying the purse, the strap is adjustable so is the perfect length for both cross body and over the shoulder. I do find it slips off my shoulder quite easily if I don't wear it cross body. The material for the strap is satiny, so I have some concern that it will snag on velcro or other rough surfaces, but I hope to be proven wrong. The purse is lightweight and the material feels durable. There are enough zippered pockets to fit necessities. If you are a person who likes or needs to carry a lot of items, or if you're a mom whose kids throw things in your purse all the time for you to carry, you may want to go with a larger bag. As much as I love the way this looks and is set up, it did not fit everything I carry, so I had to send it back to get a slightly larger bag. If you are good with a smaller sized purse, you will be incredibly happy with this purchase.

I recently purchased this purse and I just love it! The colors are so pretty and looks like a summer purse. It has lots of storage room. I am so happy I ordered this purse.

I love the color and the size. It's perfect, not too big, not too small.

I love this bag even better than the original everyday bag. These 2 bags are the only ones I've found that have a long slot for paper money. This bag could have an additional slot for credit cards since it is deeper than the everyday and should. The only thing I would change is instead of the two large slots on the other side of the coin purse insert, put 6 (or 8) credit card slots. This would be much more useful. I love all the separate compartments and will order in black and other colors. I love the additional security of the clasp over the zippered wallet section. I have at least a dozen or more baggallini's and I love this bag most of all. It's a little deeper than the original everyday bag and that is great! This particular color is a little wild but nice for the summer.

Not too big, not too small; it's just right. Nice features with a secure RFID wallet included on the front panel of the bag. Would definitely purchase again.
