Baggallini Modern Everywhere Small Wristlet with Crossbody Handbag

I bought a blue bag a few months ago and became so well organized that I bought a black one about a week later. As winter approaches, I will switch to my black bag. Can't wait.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the bag especially the purple color, the material, number of compartments, and the size is perfect. Got so much compliments. Been recommending Baggillini. My daughter gave it to me as my travel bag.

This bag is the closest I have found to the perfect crossbody travel bag, but it falls short of its potential. I have travelled internationally for work and service for 35 years, so I know what I need in a bag. I have happily used several Baggallini bags over the years, and I reviewed dozens of bags last year before choosing the Modern Everywhere Bagg as my primary purse while living abroad in Europe for 9 months. Here are the good parts: I love all the different compartments to organize my things by category, the wide base that allows it to stand up by itself, the soft sleeve for sunglasses, the separate sleeve for my phone, the smooth zippers, the firm metal zipper pulls, the durable good-looking material, the detachable strap (which I exchanged for a wider one), the wallet that's included, and especially the little vertical side zipper pocket for hand sanitizer or other little bottles. It served me well and I plan to use it for years of travel. However, there are several downsides that were consistently annoying: the phone sleeve is not attached so it slides inside out every time you pull out your phone (and it's too narrow to accommodate a phone case); the small zipper pocket on the front is too narrow for your hand to fit through, making it difficult to get to the small items stored there; the wider zipper pocket on the front doesn't have the clip to attach the wallet, which is the most logical place to put it; the water bottle holder is too tight to fit even a slender bottle (and there is no flexibility), so it takes up interior space when you shove one into the holder; the curved top zipper is just about an inch too low, so a regular folder or magazine can't easily fit inside (for an academic, this is a deal breaker); and the external magnetic fasteners in 3 places are that annoying kind that you have to fit together just right, and that interfere with access by catching on things, rather than the nice smooth magnets that are sewn inside the fabric to allow easy in and out access. I would be happy to work with Baggallini designers to develop a better bag for sophisticated professional travelers! And to promote the outcome.

This bag has been everywhere with me for the last four years. Still looks new after machine washing and is perfect for travel around the world.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 2 different styles of this bag, However, I have purchased 2 of this particular bag because it has the luggage sleeve lock. This allows the luggage sleeve to double as another pocket without worrying that the zippered bottom could possibly unzip/open and stored items slip out or are lost. And I believe it’s obvious that if I own 3, it must meet all my expectations of a good quality, functional, and appropriately priced product. I recommend this versatile bag to anyone who may need those extra but essential items while on the go.

Bought for my mom's birthday. Its absolutely beautiful with gold hardware.

I just came back from 3 weeks in Europe and used my Modern Everywhere Crossbody Bag and the Carryall Packable Backpack. They were amazing! When we had a day full of walking the backpack added extra room for a jacket or souvenirs. The backpack was great as an extra carryon for the plane ride home. Fantastic quality!

Love all the bags. They are beautiful & easy to use. Fantastic colors. Hard to choose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly as shown in pictures. Shipping and checkout was easy. Quality is unbelievable. I have used this brand for years.

I bought this bag to use in Europe and tested it in a short trip to North Carolina. Excellent bag--kept my wallet, phone, keys and additional items--well organized and easily accessible. Cannot wait to use it in Europe!
