Customer Reviews Baggallini Calais Crossbody Bag

This is my third Calais bag. I was forced to downsize after shoulder surgery and was skeptical at first whether this bag would work but with the built in wallet I find it meets all my needs.

This is my second Calais bag. The Calais, for me, is the almost perfect handbag. It is one of 2 bags that have a slot for paper money. The everyday bag was the first to have that important feature. The Calais is a little larger than the Everyday original bag, which is the next almost perfect bag. But that little bit of extra space is great. And all the different zippered hidey holes are wonderful. I love having the things I don't need to get out often able to be put away. I never have to take my key fob out to start the car and it is always in its place. The cell phone hidden slot is great. The only improvement I might like is if there were credit card slots on both sides of the coin holder instead of the two larger pockets on one side. I have carried the black Calais for a year or so and just got the print for fun. I have over a dozen baggallini handbags and travel bags and love them all but this is my favorite.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my 22 year old niece and she loved it! She is traveling to Europe soon and loved all the compartments and the waterproof feature.

This is my fourth Baggallini handbag. It is my new favorite. It is not large; however, it is big enough for all my essentials and my huge sunglasses too. I especially like the billfold section because all the credit card slots are large enough to hold my credit cards. Others do not have large enough slots for my cards. I love the blue color. It is a great addition to my daily routine!!

I love this bag! Separate section stores my cash and credit cards securely. There's enough space left over to neatly carry my essentials and then some. As always, it's lightweight!

This bag has a place for everything yet is compact enough to be worn as a crossbody. I'm so happy with it that I now have this style in multiple colors.

I bought this 8 months ago and love it! It keeps me organized and happy it has a built in wallet! I'm ordering another one in a dark collar now.

I am a huge fan of Baggallini, and most of all, the Calais. I own 5 colors and hope to get some more. These bags are lightweight, useful, organized, adaptable (change strap length). They can be washed. I can find everything in this bag. Not too big nor too small. Lots of fun colors for the seasons and different outfits. Baggallini, keep making this bagg please!! They last a long time, too!

This is the 5th Calais Crossbody that I own. This color is beautiful and soft and neutral. The Calais is not too big and not too small. The organization options are amazing. I love that I don't need a wallet, I love the key attachment, I love that it's RFID, and I love that I can wear it as a shoulder bag, a crossbody, or with a short handle. Highly recommend!!

I love the colors to choose from. Makes it tough not to buy all. Baggallini is the only "purse" I'll buy. Backpacks and cross bodies are my preferred choices. You cannot go wrong with any style you choose. They last FOREVER!!

This is the first time I have used a baggallini bag. I love this bag! It holds everything I need for everyday with room leftover for the extras. I especially like that this bag even holds my Kindle! The color I chose, the Orchid is very pretty!

I love the front opening wallet. Access to credit cards and cash is easy. My passport and small notepad fit as well. Both reading glasses and sunglasses fit into the main compartment and there is another area for a small hairbrush, lipgloss, etc. The ink hydrangea color is deep blue and lovely. Not too big, not too smalljust right!

I really like this smaller purse, especially the black with gold accents. It is a good size when you don't need to carry a lot of items!

I am a huge Baggallini fan - one might say I have an addiction. I have many styles of Baggallini and this is my favorite. Why, you ask? Well first, I love the built in wallet on the front. Second, it's large enough to fit my sunglasses, phone, keys and lip balm - all the essentials - with room to spare! Lastly, I got it in the color Orchid and it's a vibrant pink and perfect for summer.

Beautiful bag , very organized, holds everything I need. My favorite bag

After many years of searching I finally found the perfect bag. Small but holds everything and then some, organized but not too so that you don't remember where stuff is, light,protected, easy to wear!!!

I have only owned Baggalini baggs for the past, at least, 25 years. My favorite is the Everyday bag although there are times when I need a bit bigger bag. This Calais is the one that offers the Everyday bag with a bit more space. It is now my favorite bag. My favorite thing about these bags is that they have a space for putting dollar bills. I go the Calais in Black Opal and I get compliments on it quite often. it is my new Baggalini go-to bag. I love it!

I bought myself a new Baggallini and realized my daughter needed one too now that she's in high school. She's been using Baggallini waist bags since middle school. I think she's glad to have the extra space for tissues and hygienic products, and of course, her phone. She travels on the bus and the subway to school and to her piano lessons, so I feel secure about her using this Calais Crossbody bag. She loves the Black Opal pattern. She loved deciding which items to place in which pocket!

This bag holds a lot more than I expected. Blue is a beautiful shade that goes with most everything. May have to get it in another color, too!

Bought the black for a change out bag so I could wash my gray one, which I also love! Great buy. No other bag will do.

This is my second Calais bag. My first was the plain black. I like the improved strap. I opted for quilting this time for a change. I like that I am not weighed down by needing a separate wallet. Also, my cards, cash, etc. are more easily accessible this way.

I bought a Take Two RFID Bryant Crossbody a while back and wanted something that could actually carry my stuff for all day. This is the perfect size purse, I can fit a journal in it in a pinch and easily just throw in my stuff in without worrying. At the same time I don't look like I'm lugging a whole pack around with me. I love the phone pocket, I basically keep my phone in there whenever it's not in use.

Absolutely love the style meets function with this purse! Very comfortable. It does need to be "stuffed" to hold depth, or I used a purse insert with additional storage options, to help hold the shape. I assume this is to help with washing the product, because some of their bags are machine washable! Definitely would wipe off easy if needed - fantastic for us mothers! :)) The "wallet pocket" on the front is so neat! For me this size was perfect, others I tried were either too small or too big. I like to carry sanitizer, lots of odds and ends like lip balms, mints, gum, etc. And if you didn't know, this brand does a "hidden" type pocket for the cell phone on edge of the zipper to the main compartment on most bags - it's ingenious! It fit my iPhone 11pro max with a case! I just hope my metal pieces don't tarnish as another review has mentioned!

This is my second Calais, this time its the french navy which I find elegant and youthful. I love the color and how it fits everything I wear. My first was in blush shimmer and I gave it away, somehow the blush and the shimmer and myself did not fit together. But mainly I'd like to say here how perfect the Calais is... It has a true purse in the front pocket that house everything one needs- credit cards- id cards- business cards and two zip pockets for paper money and for change, and it is truely wonderful!!! everything has a place. The only thing I would add here to make it perfect is a see-though ID sling/pocket or even two! Please...The main compartment is well organized, and with enough depth to it that makes it super user friendly. I love the key chain, lipstick holder; and could see the benefit of adding one or two designated slots for pens, somewhere... The secret phone pocket is brilliant! well done Baggalini!!! one last request is to add some padding to the straps since the bag when full could be pretty heavy and make them with material that is less sleek :)

I own this bag in portobello shimmer. It's a great color--goes with everything. I love the size of this bag. It's small, but plenty big enough to hold essentials like my phone and a large eyeglass case. And all the hidden pockets are so handy. This is my everyday go-to bag. You can't go wrong with this one!
