I spent MANY hours trying to find the right purse online before buying this, and Im so glad I picked this one! Im searching for a magical purse that holds everything without getting heavy, but this Everywhere Travel bag will have to do for now. I no longer change handbags to match outfits, but after a couple of months I realized, who cares!? I thought it would be too casual for work, but my chiropractors pleas for me to use a crossbody instead of shoulder bags finally convinced me; I could have purchased several bags for the cost of those extra adjustments and I think it has helped my neck and shoulders. It holds exactly what I need, but not one thing more, so I cant move in. I initially ordered a smaller Baggallini (the Criss Cross) and laughed out loud when it arrived - it was barely bigger than my cosmetics bag! I wanted to downsize, but really!? While Ive generally frowned on boring Whats in my bag? lists in online reviews, I have to admit they were helpful in my purse quest... so here it is: small wallet, the little RFID wristlet on a strap that came with the bag, personal keys, huge ring of work keys, medium-large cosmetic bag with a gazillion small items, glasses, sunglasses in a large hard case, pens, pepper spray, iPhone in a huge indestructible case (not the Plus, fits in rear slide pocket for easy access), earbuds, granola bar, and gum. Wow, this feels more personal than I expected... Heres what does NOT fit: iPad (regular, unless you leave it unzipped), books, lunch, 20 oz. water bottle, or all the crap my other half used to put in my bag when I carried The Big One. Im pleased with the material (no fake-leather cheap-looking plasticy stuff and no real leather), zippers, hardware, and strap. The pocket on the back zips open to slide over a suitcase and the bag travels well. I have not used the side water bottle holder yet since my reusable bottles are too large; theres room for improvement on that feature but its unobtrusive when zipped. Maybe it would hold a mini umbrella? I bought a matching tote bag for work since I travel tons throughout the day, but that does get VERY heavy. Since I decided to prioritize my bodily wellbeing over cute handbags, I also switched to a ladies rolling briefcase, which is life altering! Hmmmm.... might have to think about more comfortable footwear...
