baggallini Melbourne Satchel  (Discontinued Colors)

"I have tons of Baggallini bags and the one I love the best is the Berlin Bagg. I wanted something similar but just a tad smaller, so, after much research, I bought this bag. The price was excellent b/c I had $28.00 in points plus it went on sale, so the cost was good - $41.00 & free shipping. If it wasn't so reasonable, I would return it. It is far smaller than the measurements show and the usual wonderful organization of Baggallini just is not there. There is a small zippered compartment on the outside of the bag until the flap which makes no sense. You could put your iPhone in there, but it would be a dig to get it out. Inside there is another slip pocket behind the slots of credit cards (something I have never used in any bag), but not much would fit in that slip back. The flap has just an open compartment in it, where I would have thought some organization would be. The drop on the handles is shorter than my Berlin Bagg and I was told via email that it was longer - by both Ebags AND Baggallini. And when I put all the stuff I have in my Berlin Bagg in the Melbourne, it is MUCH heavier to carry. All in all, I will use it for travel with my mini travel wallet and not much else."

"Great bag. Love the big pocket in front and the overall style. Good size. Great quality."

"I was using the Prague bag which I liked very much but it was slightly too small for me. This bag is just the right size. It holds two pair of glasses and a large wallet. I really like the hidden zipped pocket behind the front flap. It is just the right size for a phone. I prefer these stationary handles. The adjustable shoulder straps of the Prague were always slipping. The bag seems very well constructed, is very comfortable, and everything inside is easy to find."

"Even though this bag is described as medium that is should be described as small. To me it is not that strong. I wish in that I had not taken the tags off the bag because this is one that I would have to send back."

"This is a great bag. It is well constructed, the nylon is slightly shiny, and the pockets and compartments are very useful wthout being obvious."
