I have the sydney bagg for day to day use Baggallini Sydney Bagg W/Silver Hardware and like it but it is too big to quickly stuff into a carry-on when traveling so I got this and I LOVE it! It is really flat and holds my iphone (even in its case), passport, keys, credit cards and receipts and lipstick. What else could I need. I can cram more in in a pinch but then it is no longer flat. It lays flat across the body or can be carried over one shoulder and it is easy to get stuff out. The clasp on the front is a magnet disguised as a buckle that looks nice but the magnet could be stronger. I don't think it has ever come open but it is sometimes hard to close with one hand because you have to line it up perfectly before it will grab. I got used to this though and since it does not pop open I am ok with that. It has a little pouch connected on a clip/strap and a second strap for your keys like all baggalini bags I have had. I found that the bag was too crowded with these two straps stuffed in so I removed the longer one and clipped the wallet to the shorter one intended for keys and it works fine. The bag is so small there is no digging for Keys any way so it is fine.

I bought this bag a month ago. I like the styling and size of the bag but have a HUGE issue with the magnetic closures. These magnets scramble the magnetic strip found on credit cards, hotel keys, really anything that has that strip. HUGE HUGE HUGE problem. I travel a lot and finding out over the last month that this is the cause for room keys not working, credit cards not being read is unacceptable.

I saw this bag at a gift shop for $15 more than what I paid at Amazon.com! I bought it for travel and it is awesome. It has places for credit cards, a clip-in coin purse, a phone sleeve and lots more so I can carry everything in a virtually flat cross-body bag on the plane and tuck it into one of my carry ons when boarding. All of my valuable info stays safe and secure.

I have tried several Baggallinis. This one does have a nice zipper and clasp but i found you can't stuff all that much in this design and if you don't zip, items can fall out. Lost a pair of glasses from this bag from trying to overstuff.

My other displeasure was I found things would go to the bottom and harder to find. This didn't seem like a long length bag but i found it to act like one. I now use Baggallini's "Everyday" bag for my work days. Sometimes on the weekends i switch to a smaller one for the lighter weight.

I also have the small and large wallet bags. I found they have too many individual compartments so cut out the interior ones.

I have been looking for a purse that is not too big or too small. I found it! It fits everything that I need. I am very happy with it!
