Great choice for traveling
I got this bag as a gift and it's been my travel companion ever since. Its many compartments keep belongings organized and easily accessible, and I always know where everything is. Since compartments are all zippered, everything is secure. Another advantage is that it's discrete enough to double as a handbag (my sling bag is black), so no need to stuff extra weight in my suitcase. The nylon is rugged and resistant, zippers are good quality. I should know: I've been using this bag a lot and not being exactly kind to it.
I don't have any clanging zippers, but did find that the adjustable strap keeps slipping through the metal holder (I like the bag at waist length, close to the body, and the strap is long), perhaps because the nylon it is made of is so smooth. I solved this by getting a cheap metal barrette and closing it around the strap right below the holder (it works!). Another interesting aspect is that the bag is a lot more comfortable to carry when slung over the right shoulder -- not made for lefties! I'm a lefty, but this doesn't bother me.
LOVE my Baggallini!
I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase a Baggallini messenger bag; I wanted something roomy enough to carry books and various other items, but not as big or cumbersome as a regular messenger bag. The Baggallini fits the bill in both style and function. Like another reviewer of the same bag, I find that the shoulder strap slips, so the bag hangs lower than it should on a petite frame like mine, but this is not really a problem. The Baggallini has a LOT of room for a bag its size; multiple pockets and places to stash things, and I especially love the shoulder strap mobile phone 'pocket'. I can easily carry three medium-sized books and still have plenty of space for my wallet and other sundry items. I really like the mesh interior (a bright orange-red in the espresso bag) because it allows you to find things without having to rummage around. I also like the snap-on key ring holder; a bonus for someone who is continually losing their keys! I don't find that the zipper tabs make much noise; or if they do, I don't notice it. I am so taken with this bag that I will probably order a couple of others in different colours. I feel terribly stylish when I wear it.
A must for theme park travelers
I was thrilled with this messenger bag. We took it to Disney. Passes fit nicely in the strap zippered compartment and were easy to reach at all times. The side compartment fit my cell phone which also was in easy reach but far enough away from the passes not to deactivate them. I did not need to carry a wallet as the inside front compartments held things nicely. I also appreciated the bottled water compartment on the side. It made water a quick reach. I love the main compartment, it is big enough to carry cameras, etc. Going to a theme park sometimes means carrying maps, etc. The zippered compartment to the back of the bag was perfect for this. The best part was that it was light and convenient and I could alternate between carrying it on my shoulder and across my chest for a messenger bag. In the past my neck, shoulder and back is always hurting at the theme parks by the end of the day. Didn't have this happen once during a 8 day trip! Love this bag and highly recommend it!
