Customer Reviews Baggallini Everyday Bagg

I was a big fan of the now discontinued wallet purse. I had every color. I reluctantly bought this as a replacement. I was used to putting things in particular places and I have had to relearn. But this replicates the old style in acceptable ways (i.e. room for my cell phone in a separate compartment & two zippered insets, one for important, not everyday use cards (eg. medical ins) and another for important things to be kept separately (eg. hearing aids) I still think the old style was superior but ...

This bag is everything I had hoped for, but the outside pocket is a bit small to store a phone with a case on it.

Love this bag but interior is not as deep as my previous bag exactly like it.

This is a great little bag. Looks nice and has good organizational features for such a small bag. I wanted something small so as not to end up with a heavy, bulky bag. This fits nicely but a little too small. Would be perfect if it were a half inch taller. That would earn it five stars from me.

This is my 4th Everyday Crossbodyl. I love these little organizers! Very roomy and allows me to carry all I need with little pressure to my back. And, a new color as the season changes!

I liked everything about this bag; it was just too small.

I was having problems getting at my credit cards so I tried the horizontal design. It works wonderfully and is lightweight.

I have had the Everyday Bagg for over 12 years getting a new one in different colors every 4 years or so. Was just getting ready to put this on my Christmas List, but now thanks to everyone's input on the new design I will not. The old bag was just perfect and perfectly named Everyday because that is how I have used it. Only changed purses once in awhile if going out where I needed a dressier bag. I agree that they need to go back to the old style and make it just a little bigger, maybe about 1.5 inches in each dimension. Hopefully they read all these reviews and pay attention to what most people are saying. I won't be buying another one until they do. :(

This is my favorite bag, but I'm disappointed with the changes since the last time I purchased one: material for strap, loss of swivel option for strap attaching to purse, and the front pocket isn't as useful as the older version.

I've bought earlier versions of this purse, but like that the front pocket is now big enough (just barely) for my I phone. I also love its internal organization so I don't need to have a separate wallet. I don't like the new flat strap with rectangular guides. I liked the previous round guides and could swap out straps I liked better. I wish the bag were available in more fabric. Black is ok, but boring. And I didn't want red or Navy. I got another bag in a black/gray material that I wish were available for this model. Still, the suits my preferences - & I now never change purses. Everything that's crucial is in it!

Great Bag!

This is a really nice bag with a few flaws. First, I agree with other reviewers who are longtime Baggallini customers that Baggallini has gone downhill. I don't know if it is cost-cutting or chasing the fast-fashion market or both, but Baggallini seems to be moving away from its roots that brought it so many devoted fans in the first place: making high quality, very practical bags that are lightweight, durable, and have great organizational features, all while being stylish and attractive. It seems in recent years they have moved toward more flashy patterns and gaudy gold hardware, while cutting quality and paying less attention to functionality. Baggallini has been my go to for years for both purses and tote bags, but recently I have started to research other brands. Baggallini, ARE YOU LISTENING? I for one would rather pay a little more, if necessary, to ensure the high quality bags I had come to expect. Re this bag in particular: Pluses: It is very cute, generally a nice size for a crossbody (small but big enough to carry sunglasses, my bottom line criteria), and has a good selection of pockets and other organization features, such as room for cards, cash, and change. Minuses: The biggest one is the bag is not deep enough. As others have mentioned, adding another half inch to the depth would make a world of difference. As it is, some of the pockets, flaps etc are not really usable, or only marginally usable, because they each compete for the same space, essentially. If you completely fill the main compartment, it will bulge out so much that the bag flap and the zipper pocket inside the main compartment essentially become unusable. Also, the front flap pocket has so little depth that I could not even fit a car key fob in there without it creating a bulge on the front of the purse. So I am only going to use that pocket for very thin things like a few receipts or business cards. Baggallini should take a look at how this purse functions when full and add the 1/2" or so depth needed to make all the pockets usable. It would not change the look or weight of the purse much but would make a big difference in terms of functionality. That being said, here is what I was able to put in the purse without it feeling overloaded: In the front pocket: 10 cards, bills, change, and a few receipts in the zipper pocket. In the main compartment: 2 pens, keys, lip gloss, a small (purse size) brush, a tube of electrolyte tablets, a Samsung Galaxy 7 phone, and sunglasses in a soft case. In the back flop: my car key fob. In the front flap: a few business cards (not in a card - this flap is super shallow). The color I ordered, Portobello, is nice and will go with everything. If I decide a like the bag enough, I will probably get another one in black for winter.

The organization of this bag is amazing and smartly laid out. The material is pretty and durable, as are all Baggallini bags. I haven't found another small purse that works better for organizing all of the things I carry daily. Two things would make this perfect for me: make it a little bigger and go back to the old style of detachable / swiveling straps. Mainly, I want the option of bringing a small tablet or kindle, but the current style doesn't zip with the tablet in its case - and mostly it's the dip in the middle that makes it too small for that. Well, maybe 3 things - I really like having the key leashes on my other baggs but this one is small enough that It's not as necessary!

Cute but too small for me to be an every day bag. Need a purse that has room for all my wallet stuff and this wasn't it.

My wife has used one of these daily for quite a few years and has been very happy with it but it's starting to show its age. This latest version has definitely been cheapened (slightly smaller, lower quality zippers, looser stitching, one less zipped sub-compartment, lower quality strap, and possibly more). It's disappointing but probably still functional. Her iPhone 5S still fits easily in the side pocket (which now has a flap instead of the more secure zipper). It's always disheartening when a company chooses cheaper production over a better product.

After using the 3 zippier Baggalini (a 5 star bag) for travel, I thought I would ditch my wallet and get a smaller Baggalini for daily use. My stuff, including sunglasses and checkbook, as well as my iPhone, fits in here but I still have not become used to which pocket or compartment has the thing I am looking for. It is just a bit too small and tight. If it were just a little larger, I would rate it a 5.

Loved the bag! Could have been just a bit larger but I made it work. Nice color (black), elegant enough for church but works well with casual.

I have owned and have used this purse for over four years and I love it....almost completely. I love the way it is designed with the wallet on the front, plus other storage areas toward the back. Perfect size! I do not use this as a cross body bag as I only use a fanny pack (daily). I had to cut the strap, shorten it a little and sew it back together to use it this way. ATTENTION BAGGALLINI COMPANY: with simply shortening the strap a little bit this bag could be used either way. So simple a solution!!

I was looking for a bag that was big enough to accommodate the essentials not a bulky bag where those essentials have way too many places for those essentials to hide. This Baggallini bag stood up to the challenge. It is compact - not everyone's cup of tea - but it has enough room to handle the stuff I need. It is a great grab-and-go bag and since I can no longer carry my entire life in this purse my shoulders and back are much happier.

This is my third Everyday Bagg. I was disappointed that the magnetic closure on the back pocket wasn't there. Also, one of the zipper compartments had been deleted also. I like the elastic loop, great place for a pen, don't have to dig for it. I LOVE the front compartment, coins go in the zippered section, credit card slots are great, and a place for folding money, I don't have to have a wallet!!! Please make more styles with this front compartment. I ordered a cris cross, but returned it because the magnet in the middle wasn't strong enough to keep it closed...please redesign that! I am a Baggallini lady now, won't carry anything else!!!

I have 3 other Everyday Baggs and absolutely love them! However, my most recent purchase - graphite with fuschia - did not have a second zipper pocket in main section and the magnetic closure on outside pocket was not there. I do not like those changes and wish you hadn't done that. I kept the bag but I miss those features. Get rid of that lipstick holder or whatever it is - I don't ever use it. Please, please, please reinstate the original design!

This isn't the same Everyday Bagg of past years. The difference is that a zippered portion inside the main compartment is missing. There are two zippered pockets in my old Everyday Baggs. I've bought two new Baggs and both are missing the second zippered compartment. I'm disappointed and won't buy another because I really liked having two zippered compartments but if you are just buying this bag for the first time you will love the organization....especially the wallet portion. This bag will hold all your necessities thanks to having a built in wallet.

I compared this bag with the Paris Bagg and ultimately chose this one. Though, after 4 months of use the strap broke off on one side. It was only attached by a small 1/2 tab and it looked like it had only been stitched once. The design of the bag was good. I really like the built in wallet in the front. I like the look of the design, though it would be a little more user friendly if the top wasn't so much more narrow than the bottom. Overall, it's been a good bag, up until now. Now I have to decide if I want to have someone reinforce the strap and keep it, or send it back for another one, which I will feel compelled to have someone reinforce. Either way, Zappos is being great about it!

Very nice. Thought I would try using a small bag, but it is not going to work. I do like the organization. But I would still have to carry a tote for my iPad, nourishment, bigger items, etc.
