I love everything about this bag except it's size, and the size of the side pockets.  If it was just a few inches larger, it would be perfect.  I wanted a bag that held a water bottle.  These side pockets are too small for a water bottle.  I keep my glasses in the one side pocket.  The inside of the bag is too small.  I always carry a book with me, and if I have a book in there, plus my wallet, it is too crowded.  I have been looking for a Baggallini bag that would suit my needs,  but I can't seem to find anything in between this bag and the Avenue Tote, which looks too big.  This bag would be PERFECT, if  there was a larger option also available.  I understand this bag would suit some needs, but just wasn't what I was looking for, apparently.  I like all the other outside pockets.  The inside " credit card " slots I would not use.  They are not tight enough to hold a card securely.  I would rather have another zipper pocket there, or something.  Iin summary, pretty great bag, but too small for what I needed.
