I needed something that I could wear across my body so I was not having to constantly catch my purse falling off my shoulder since I am having to tote around two small children these days. This purse is perfect for that. Stays on me and easily accessible when having to pay and hold children. Also very spacious and has plenty of pockets to organize. Would defiantly buy another if needed.

This Overland bag is great. It's well made. It organizes everything I need and it eliminates carrying a wallet. It's smaller than you think, but as you put your stuff in, you'll be amazed what all fits. So make sure you try it before you decide it's too small. The Bayliss bag is made so much better than a similar Baggalini bag I bought. I love organizer bags, and I actually bought another Bayliss bag in brown for the fall season as well. I lover Overland! If I could aford it,I would get one in every color!

A coworker reported her purse being snatched at the grocery store, distracted by an accomplice while the thief made the grab. I became obsessed with finding a crossbody bag that I could wear securely while shopping. While it's not exactly a fashionable handbag, it has some great benefits:

(1) It made me pare down my necessities.
(2) The three compartments are wonderful--first is a flapover section that I use for pens and slips of paper (magnetic closure); then there's a middle compartment that has the credit card slots (double zip closure and opens down the sides); and the third section is a larger pocket (single zip closure).
(3) Crossbody allows you freedom of movement.
(4) I gave up my wallet!

It rides on my hip and I can wear it over or under my winter coat, and I'm a plus size person.

I gave up my wallet and put my cards in the slots. The back pocket has two checkbooks in it, and a small hairbrush can be squeezed in on top of those. The front sections holds a couple of pens, shopping lists and the travel-size pain reliever capsules. I also have lip balm in one slot.

I feel more at ease when my hands are free and my Bayliss riding towards the front. This is one of those bags that you might want in several colors. I have the rust color.

I've tried to find something a little "dressier", but it's hard to live up to the organization this great little bag has.

I have had this little guy for about 2 years now and I am still loving it. It's big enough to carry the essentials. The nylon material is not dressy by any means but if you like the sporty outdoorsy look than this is the bag for you! After 2 years it is only showing minor wear and I have carried it the full 2 years. If you want a small bag that is not cumbersome to carry a cell phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses, pens and a small note pad then look no farther.

A few years ago I was leaving on a trip to Africa and needed something small, but versatile and durable and stumbled upon the Bayliss bag. It worked great not only for that trip, but for several trips since then. It's the perfect size to hold and organize my point and shoot camera, phone, passport, wallet, mp3 player, as well as all the other little things I seem to need. It's also the bag I take while running around town and shopping. Somebody always seems to stop me and ask where I got it because it is the perfect size. It's about 3 years old and still going strong.
