I ordered the bag in Steel Blue and the color is true to its description and not at all like the color displayed in the thumbnail. On my monitor the color in the thumbnail looked lavender. The fabric is sturdy with just a teeny bit of a sheen to it. I love the bright green interior, which makes things easy to see.

I have a similar cross-body bag at home and the Baggalini London bag's measurements were comparable to it, with the exception of the bag's depth. Even with that knowledge I was taken aback by how much more compact the Baggalini looked when I opened the package it arrived in.

The compartments make it easy to keep your things organized. With its narrower depth, the bag is not really designed for bulky items. One reviewer reported being able to keep a water bottle in her bag. I'm not sure how she did it. I keep my credit cards in the slots designed for them in the main compartment and also keep the little utility coin/ID purse in there too. If you fill that compartment up too much, you won't have easy access to your credit cards. The elastic pen holders are inconvenient -- too large for pens. Perhaps they're meant to hold lipstick instead? I wouldn't risk keeping lipstick in them in the event it should come apart. But those elastic pen holders are not a show stopper. My iPhone fits perfectly into one of the front pockets and my lipstick and eye drops fit fine into the other.

I uploaded photos of my bag so you can see how things fit into it.

I don't want a cluttered, bulky purse nor do I want one that has the potential to become one. The Baggalini London bag fits the bill perfectly because all I want is to have my essentials on hand. If you're someone who likes to carry everything but the kitchen sink in your bag, you're going to want a different option.

This definitely will not be my last Baggalini purchase.
