BaggalliniWomen's Essential Mini Crossbody Bag

Perfect! Tiny bit bigger than the Bryant Pouch which I LOVED but it was just too small (the pouch doesn’t hold more than a phone inside & lipstick/keys in outer pocket.) I don’t like carrying a full size purse. This is still small and flat but it holds my phone, powder, lipstick, small wallet, etc. It has an RFID pocket and is perfect to use on a cruise when you want hands free but a few things with you. The strap is thin but when I travel I put a heavier strap on it which I purchased at a “Hobby” store. 😉 I like the ability to change straps. The photo shows this Essential Mini bag next to the Mini Pouch - both Baggallini.

Bought this for vacation (I don't usually carry a purse) and it easily fit my cell phone, passport and several credit cards in the interior slots. The strap was easy to adjust and the color was true to the photo. Zippers worked smoothly and I definitely will use anytime I need to carry more than my small wallet.

Love all products Baggellini. Well made and lots of storage.

It''s the second Baggallini traveling purse I buy. I wear it as if it were a fanny pack, or a belt, on my waist (though it is a bit loose) and not as a purse.I had a black one before, which was softer and slightly smaller.I prefer the size of the new one. However, the materials are different. The old model was made of a higher, softer and more flexible material. HOWEVER, if I have to believe the company's claims, and, in fact, this new model is made with 100% recycled materials, then I do not care at all about it feeling more plastic and less soft, since it help leave a lesser carbon footprint and creates less demand for new products derived from petrol. In that sense, I will always choose to sacrifice a bit of comfort or relinquish the nicer "feel" of something, if it helps preserve a healthier environment. I only hope the reliability and durability of the material equals or surpasses the original's.My ONLY concern is that the rings holding the strap on the sides ARE NOT as strong and good quality as the rings of the original model. They look and feel cheaper, and I only hope they do not break off. I carry my money and passport in this bag, and I would not want for the strap to be pulled and the rings to break.Will give updates if/when needed.My ONLY concern is that the side

Love the navy blue color. It is perfect for my smart phone and keys. I put it around my neck and off I go.

I have always liked baggallini as a brand and use them as my go to for traveling and everyday. I got this cute little pouch for my everyday school and work-school days. It’s cute, large, convenient and fits in a baggallini tote I carry with me. When I need to run to the store, to the cafe or even to my car I grab it and it’s quick and easy.It has three outer pockets two in the front and one on the back. The back pocket is large enough to hold an iPhone 12 Pro Max with an Otterbox case without issues. The front hold things like lip balm in the zipper area and tissue in the hidden second pocket. The inside has three card slots and a deep slot on the back wall. It’s perfect for cash, extra cards, receipts, and other slim things. Your phone and keys can easily fit on the inside and the zippers are secure.It comes with a crossbody strap that’ just long enough to go over your chest. I had an extra wristlet from a different baggallini I had and I just clipped it on the back instead of the strap. It works perfect and the strap lives inside the pouch for those times I need more hands free movement. It does get a little heavy if you fill everything up so I don’t recommend adding a wristlet if your going to Jam Pack the pouch.It honestly would have gotten five stars if not for this flaw.I didn’t notice at first but after using it I noticed that a thread was sticking out on one of the RFID card slots. I gently wiggled it around and it started unraveling on me. This is the THIRD time I’ve bought a baggallini from Amazon and it’s had loose threads and wayward strands that leave concern. One time was so bad I had to return it immediately. If I had noticed this sooner I probably wouldn’t have kept it.As I said before I’ve been a long time baggallini fan however, if the quality of the products continues to be lacking I’ll have to personally contact them with a complaint and stop buying and recommending them to others.

Cute, compact & usefull

This is a great little bag for concerts, errands, and flying. It is SMALL and it's supposed to be-check measurements if you are in doubt. I love the 'cadet blue' color, it's a nice bright navy. This bag is not, however, the "regular" baggallini fabric, which is TruNylon. This little gem is part of the Essential collection and is similar in style and fabric to the Baggallinil BG line. It is different in that it is polyester and made from recycled plastic bottles. It wipes clean and can be handwashed. The logo is slightly different and the weight is still light. The lining fabric is good, but I would say slightly cheaper feeling than the regular line. The strap is super thin, but has metal hardware that has nice features like spinning clasps to keep it straight on the body. It has a slim profile due to the thin but strong and fully-adjustable crossbody strap that is also completely removeable. Overall, this is a great little bag and the price point is indicative of the different quality. I think most people not happy with the "quality" are comparing it to the regular line, but Baggallini has several lines out now and not all are created equal, with price points to match. I am using this as my everyday bag for running errands in and out of stores and love that it holds iphone, keys, lipstick, pen, small moleskine, and small wallet. Would highly recommend this little bag!
