I used my first Baggallini every day, so I wanted a different one to trade off with. This one is as much a favorite as the other. It has plenty of storage for daily errand trips, and it has a cross-body strap, which I love. My cell phone fits on an outside pocket, which I also need and like. It never feels too heavy when I carry it, but I'm not one to stuff a purse--however I do carry quite a bit.
