baggallini Elena Tote 

"I thought the outside pockets were bigger. I haven't yet gotten it organized to where I feel at home with it. I think I may like it better once I use it more. This is my fist trip with it. The color wasn't what I thought it would be. It was more purple. I have two other baggalini bags which I absolutely love so I am surprised I am not crazy about this one."

"This is a very nice bag. It looks nice and is perfect as an everyday work bag or as a travel bag. It is also roomy and can hold my everyday items plus lunch, sweater, a book, etc. I love the back pocket that converts into a sleeve to fit over the handle of a rolling suitcase! The included wristlet is also great. However, I do have a couple of complaints. First, the zippers sometimes stick, which minimizes the bag's value as a convenient bag for travelers who have lots of things in their hands; if you are walking and carrying a bunch of stuff, you can't mess with a sticking zipper. Also, one of the zipper pulls fell off the moment I took the bag out of the packaging. It was an easy fix to tighten it with pliers, but I shouldn't have had to do that! Additionally, I am disappointed with the low number of pockets inside the bag. The bag is very deep and roomy, which is great, but my stuff just gets lost in there because there aren't enough pockets and dividers. One whole side of the bag is filled with very shallow business-card sized pockets, which are of limited usefulness. For a bag that is advertised as being very helpful in organizing, I find this odd and disappointing."

"I LOVE this bag. The price was steep and kept me from buying it for awhile but I couldn't find a comparable bag, especially one that wasn't mostly leather. I did buy this bag on sale eventually. It's light, flexible, holds a little or a lot while retaining a nice shape and fits over the shoulder so my hands are free. I have the fuchsia/berry color that seems to fit well for spring/summer or winter months."

"The zippers are very hard to open with one hand, and the teeth are sharp,thick and spaced too far apart. I keep breaking my nails when they get caught in the teeth of the zipper. (And I have short nails.)"

"I am a great fan of Baggallini and this tote is simply great for travel. For me it replaces carry-on luggage, hand bag and tote bag. Since I also use a cane the cross body feature is very convenient. As all Baggallinis, the colors are bright and true, very well made and I expect will last in good shape for many,many years."

"Fits an 11 inch macbook air, regular purse stuff, two cell phones and file folders."

"ebags, I've been sitting, on a decision whether to order this bag or not for a while. Finally, I gave in and bought it. I was pleasantly surprised when I got this bag. It's perfect for traveling, daily use, storing of ipad, and other essentials. Baggallini has improved their product in style appearence, weight, hmmmmm NOT PRICE POINT... One thing for sure I always go back to Baggallini, they get it right as far as weight performance goes. By the time you load what you need for the day, the weight of the bag is still okay. That for me is a BIG SELLING POINT when looking to purchase a handbag (weight). Baggallini, you got the other handbag producers beat!!!!"

"The card slots in this item do not secure cards - - improvement needed in this area"

"Beautifully designed. Great pockets. Cross body weight balanced so not too heavy"

"This is a beautiful satin finish bag with tons of room for laptop/ipad, lunch, ereader, and easily accommodates a small interior purse. This has become one of my favorite totes. Use it daily for work. Have carried it in Michigan rain, snow and sleet and the fabric is pretty water repellent and quick to dry. Wish they had included an additional key ring as with other baggllini totes since it is so deep but I just use the hook that comes attached to the included wallet."
