I bought this because the clasp on one of the straps to my previous Baggalini bag broke after 6 months of daily use.  I thought I loved that purse, but I love this one even more.  Assuming that the clasp does not break so early again, I highly recommend this bag.  It's roomier than the one I had before, with plenty of room for all my stuff and a few extras if I need them (the other one had just enough room for my daily items).  There are also more pockets and the ones in the front are easily accessible for items you do not want to get lost at the bottom of your bag.  I have to wear suits to work, and I think it looks a little funny with them, but otherwise, the bag is stylish enough to wear with any outfit.  (Unfortunately, funny-looking or not, I still use this as my purse every day because I developed painful shoulder spasms from a regular purse, but the backbag purse fixed this right up!)
