Baggallini never creates handbags which follow the trends or turn heads, but let’s remember that most of us aren’t all about arm candy. When your day demands substance over style, look to a purse like this Around Town Bagg.
It’s perhaps a bit harsh to suggest this bag is all about functionality. There’s nothing wrong with its styling; it’s just that there’s nothing too inspiring either. It’s got classic looks to suit any daytime situation, particularly if you opt for one of the neutral color options like mushroom or black. Personally though, I’d assert my individuality with a more playful shade like lime green or tomato red. These colors might seem too much on a more elaborate bag, but here they give the purse some flair.
The real drawcard about this bag is the way it’s put together. Nylon might not be an envied material, but it’s lightweight, resistant to tearing and stains, and appropriate for all weather conditions. The exterior pockets offer easy access to your cell phone, iPod, and keys, while the interior packs a real organizational wallop. A coin purse, pen slips, and credit card slots are just some of the extra perks.
My only real misgiving is the buckle closure. It’s definitely secure, but it’s also very fiddly for day-to-day use. The Around Town is also on the small side, but that can be both a blessing and a curse. It should be able to handle everything you really need, although if you’re a pack rat you might need to leave some of your favorite items behind. On the bright side though, it definitely won’t weigh you down.
At $74.95 this Around Town Bagg is an affordable way to carry the essentials you need when you’re on the go.
