Women Criss Cross Crossbody Bag

This bag is an organizer's dream!! I really wanted a purse that would allow me to find everything easily instead of digging at the bottom for it. I was a little nervous about buying this bag because it is on the smaller side. I have a decent amount of "essential" items and really needed a purse big enough to hold everything while keeping me organized. This bag ended up being exactly what I needed. I had a hard time finding reviews about the exact items that people were able to fit into it. So I'll describe everything that fits into my bag: 1. front zipper on the wallet: holds a pack of gum 2. Inside of wallet compartment: I have my checkbook, two pens, and 4 credit cards/gift cards in the credit card slots. Inside the middle wallet zipper compartment, I have about 15 store cards. In the zipper pouch (behind the credit card slots), I have a few business cards. There is still plenty of room and is the perfect space for holding tickets, passport, etc. It is also very deep which is nice. 3. First zipper compartment: Holds a Thirty-One Everyday Wristlet with all of my money/important credit cards/license in it. It also holds my VERY large set of bulky keys that have a canister of pepper spray attached to them. In the pocket, I have lip gloss and chap stick. This pocket is very deep and could easily fit a cell phone. In the zipper compartment I have feminine products. I have a pen in the pen loop but have put an eyeliner pencil and chapstick in it. 4. Hidden Middle Section: I have sunglasses and my cell phone (iphone 5 with a battery pack). Since my first zipper compartment holds some bulkier items, I have to guide the magnetic closure together. If you manually close it together, it will stay shut while you are carrying the purse around. Everything fits snuggly in this compartment so I don’t worry about it falling out. I love that my cell phone is easily reachable. 5. 2nd Zipper compartment in the back: I have a 2 oz bottle of hand sanitizer and a 1 oz bottle of poo-pourri (Just in case ;) haha). In the pocket I have a small pair of scissors, a tide to go stick, and a nail file. There is still plenty of room for more items. 6. The back magnetic closure compartment holds my coupons and any receipts that I get. Even after holding all of those items, my bag is not bulky at all. It is still very lightweight and works perfect as a cross body. I love the material that it is made out of and it seems like it will be very easy to clean. I also love that it is water resistant especially since I live in the Northeast and we get a lot of snow and rain. I bought the Espresso/Cheetah print and love it!!! I have received a lot of compliments on this purse. It works beautifully for a day or evening look. The criss cross design is very stylish and not boring like some other organizing bags that I have seen. My only complaint would be that I wish this bag came in the pewter/cheetah print that they have for some of the other bags. I'm obsessed with cheetah print and a gray color would be nice to match some of my outfits. My one piece of advice with this bag would be to play around with fitting everything in it. I rearranged items a couple of times before I found the right fit for everything. It really does a fantastic job keeping you organized and finding everything a breeze. This really makes the perfect everyday bag, and would also be wonderful for traveling. I would definitely buy another Baggallini bag!!

love love love love love this bag. I mean, I really love it. Okay, here's the thing.... The last "pocketbook" I bought and use is about 20 years old. I rarely carry pocketbooks. Most everything either goes in my pockets or else I am toting some form of a camera bag. The pocketbook I purchased twenty years ago is very small. How small? My cell phone doesn't fit in it and if I put my keys in it the bag is almost full (admittedly my key chains holds a lot of keys). Now I am sure this is more information that you wanted but I've been summoned to jury duty and my 20 year old bag is too small to hold things and my camera bag wont be allowed in the courthouse so I figured it was time for something new. My requirements? A relatively small bag with lots of zippered pockets. Well the website hardly does this bag justice. It is brilliantly designed. Seriously BRILLIANT. I don't often gush and I certainly don't gush over pocketbooks (If I did I probably would have purchased more of them in the past 20 years, no?) but this bag is gushworthy. Small and lightweight yet loaded with pockets and compartments and even a sense of design..... There are three main zippered sections one of which has open pocket inside, one which has an open pocket, a zippered pocket and a pen holding elastic inside, and the last one which has open credit card slots (I find these useless.... I would never put my credit cards in an open pocket like this) and two zippered pockets/pouches. The zippers are all smooth with sturdy and reasonably attractive titular zipper pulls. On top of all this zippered wonderfulness, there are three magnetic closure pockets as well. And easy large center magnetic compartment to quickly store keys or sunglass cases quickly without having to fuss with zippers. Honestly, the designers at baggallini managed to crawl inside my head and come up with everything I could imagine wanting in a pocketbook. Perhaps the only thing they left off is a hook for securing my keys when in the bag. Lots of bag manufacturers seem to fancy those hooks these days. BOTTOM LINE: If you are a small bag multipocket freak like me you will love love love love this bag as I do. It is well designed and incredibly well made (I think all baggallini's that I've see ARE well made) and I think the price around forty dollars is very reasonable for what you are getting

Okay, first I'd like to say that this is the first time I've bothered to review a product. I only received it yesterday, but I LOVE my new hand bag! I love the size (perfect for me), the color, the fabric, and the many pockets. I am always looking for a bag that allows me to keep my things organized and is not just an empty sack. However, I gave it only four stars instead of five because I agree with other reviewers that all of the pockets are not useful because the bag gets 'plump' really quick and then the sections won't close. I had to downsize, get rid of my wallet and transfer everything to the pockets of the handbag (not that this is a bad thing). I like the fact that because it isn't so plump it stays close to my body and hangs well from the strap. I was worried that the strap would be too long for me (I'm 4' 9" tall), but it is perfect and I can lengthen it, if needed, to be a cross body bag. I was also worried that the bag was fabric and not leather, but it looks gorgeous, clean, and sturdy, too. I have had problems with leather bags getting dirtied up really quickly and with (more expensive) faux-leather bags cracking and falling apart. I am looking forward to seeing how this wears. It looks well made and I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Love my new purse. Holds all my items with its multi pockets. Built-in credit card holder allows me to get rid of my heavy wallet.

No le doy las cinco estrellas porque me hubiese gustado que fuera un poco mas grande,por lo demas excelente bolso con infinidad de bolsillos.Totalmente recomendable

Perfecta para el día a día. A pesar de ser Muy compacta le cabe bastante! Llena de compartimientos muy útiles para organizar las cosas. Además luce muy moderna y casual, el estampado de leopardo le da un toque fashion con discreción. Tanto el tejido como las cremalleras son de calidad. El asa tiene bastante longitud para ajustarla y se siente muy cómoda en el hombro aún cuando la bolsa está cargada. Un detalle que me encantó es que me permite prescindir de llevar billetera pues sus porta tarjetas y monedero interiores son suficientes para llevar todo lo que normalmente llevo en la billetera y así puedo ahorrar espacio y peso. En resumen, un bolso funcional, bonito y cómodo. Estoy encantada con él!

Good Quality Purse with lots of zipper pouches - I'd suggest getting one a little bigger than this as when i fill up one of the pouches the others aren't as usable as I thought they would be - nice adjustable shoulder strap and fits nicely in front of you without too much bulk and you can easily add your own security clips to the zippers

Good bag for travelling

Love the red colour, true to picture. Lots of different pockets and compartments, which will be ideal for at airport and on holidays. Long strap so can be worn in several ways. The fabric is excellent, which is expected of Baggallini, and will be long lasting. Delighted with purchase.
