Baggallini Big Zipper Crossbody Bag

I was hesitant about this bag because of the strange trapezoid shape, but that seems to be distorted in the pictures somehow.I was looking for a lightweight purse, but not one so small that I couldn't carry anything. I thought that all the zippers and metal would make the bag heavy, but they don't. The metal seems to be hollow/aluminum, so it is still strong, but light.I love this bag!Not only is there room for everything, I eliminated all the extra stuff I used to carry: wallet, credit card case, etc. There are pockets/slots for everything. I only added a slide case for my phone, but only because Blackberry phones need a magnetic case. I didn't realize how all my wallets and cases added to the overall weight.I am organized for the first time in my life and I think I'm carrying more stuff than I used to. I was the kind of person who had to dump my purse contents to find anything. Not anymore.There is even room for my e-reader and a (small) concealed carry holster, all at the same time!All my purses will be Baggallini from now on.

Nearly every day I think about what a great product this is! I do a lot of traveling on my job, and the organization of the bag is a fabulous feature for me. When I am driving in the car, even after dark, I can reach in and know exactly where everything is. It is also great for shopping because the postioning of the card slots is convenient, and the attachments of cash coin purse and my keys are a real plus. Again, I can find them in the dark. The long handle lends itself to easy change for accommodating different needs. For example, I may want cross-body for some chores, but I may need it to be shorter for other tasks. I bought the lighter blue and then returned and bought the black for use in different situations and for winter. I want a green one next!

I received a second Big Zipper bag, in mushroom, for Christmas. The color is a deep, warm taupe with a light blue-gray interior, and it looks very nice. I was disappointed to see design changes that make the bag less useful than my first one. The clear plastic ID card holder has been removed from the outside of the coin purse. And some of the bag's interior pockets have also been removed, eliminating storage space I really liked. As a result of these changes that probably lower the cost for the manufacturer but take away usefulness, I changed my review to 4 stars instead of 5.Here's my original review:I bought this bag in olive. Love the color and the orange interior, which makes it easy to find items. The bag is very easy to wear either cross-body or over the shoulder, and it holds and organizes an amazing amount of stuff without getting bulky--it stays sleekly against the body and is very easy to wear. There are 7+ places to put items of various sizes--mobile phone, glasses, sunglasses, checkbook, makeup, etc.--so everything is easy to find. No more rummaging around! This makes it perfect for travel and everyday use. And despite the manufacturer's suggestion to spot-clean only, I wash my Big Zipper in the washing machine. I put it in a mesh laundry bag for protection and always use cold water. I never put it in the dryer, just hang it to air dry overnight. Sleek style, great organization and easy to clean--it's really the perfect bag.

I purchased this bag because I have the smaller zipper bag by Bagallini and just love it. I like that this one is big enough to accomodate a full size wallet, I am actually using it as my every day bag right now. The bag is very comfortable to carry. My only complaint is that it was not exactly as pictured, the inside pouch was missing the clear plastic on the outside which I used in my other bag to keep my driver's license. I contacted Amazon customer service who offered me options. I decided to keep the bag with some of the price refunded. It made me wonder if these are overstocks or factory seconds but I still feel at the price it was a great purchase. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this issue.

I ordered the mushroom Big Zipper Bag. It is a fabulous color, and the light blue lining highlights the contents of the bag making everything easy to find.I have eliminated a wallet, as this bag has card slots, the change purse, and so many zippered compartments. My handbag is neat, organized with everything I need and still lies flat.I got a great price and as with all my Amazon orders, everything goes smooth!

I bought this purse for Disney, but I love it so much I am using it for everyday! The organization is great. I got rid of my bulky wallet, put everything I need in there and it is still sleek for crossing over your body. You have hands free shopping, it is comfortable, and hold everything. I still have comparments that I have not used. I am always telling my family I love my baggallini!

This is my second Baggallini Big Zipper Shoulder Bag. I have two great neutral colors; black and grey. I wouldn't mind if Baggallini would make one a bit roomier inside, but until then I will continue loving this bag.

I love this purse. Flat sleek but the room of a giant purse! I'm a total baggalini fan. This one also has the longest cross body strap ever seen!
