I'm an organizational nut and looked for YEARS to get a good, durable, practical, pragmatic purse/hand bag. I finally saw Baggallini bags at a botique and have been hooked by them ever since.

Having owned several, I will say that this one - the Metro Bagg - is my favorite. Sunglasses, keys, phone, cosmetics, pens, change, insurance cards, etc. all have their place. I also like that there is a back side panel (with strong magnet) to place papers in. This is really handy when I have receipts, maps, hand outs, programs, etc. that I don't want to carry. I also like the adjustable shoulder strap, which allows me to carry this slung over my shoulder.

This is not your "bling bag"...but cute for us professional mommy or nerdy types. I have had so many women say, "Oh, I like your bag - I wish I could give up my big one for something like that..." and I say, "You can - and your shoulders will thank you!" :)

So, if you're worried about what your friends, neighbors, and sisters-in-law will think of your purse, this is not the one. If you like to step out of the house ultra-organized, this is THE bag.

Oh, and it's washable on cold delicate. Nice.
