This is my second Baggallini Helsinki bag.  The size  and multiple compartments make it big enough to use daily or for travel.  I particularly like the two outside zipped compartments that allow storage of ones smart phone  in a safe and accessible location.  The interior includes a padded compartment which I use when I carry my tablet.  The design is both sleek and efficient;  I prefer the gold hardware, but am sure the choice is an individual one and does not take away from the bag's versatility.  I have carried my black Helsinki bag through the winter.  It is not too heavy.  Straps don't slip off one's shoulder.  I look forward to switching to my Beach ( light tan) color bag for spring.  I have carried Baggallini bags for several years.  All consistent with good quality and style.  I recommend any Baggallini bag.  So many choices!
