Baggallini has made its name by putting functionality first. Their purses may never attract celebrity fans or longing gazes, but they’re some of the most practical around.
The design is simple, without buckles or bows to add any aesthetic appeal. The only real individuality comes from the color you choose, and there are plenty of those. Much of the Baggallini range is unisex, and frankly a little drab, with shades like mushroom, pewter, and dark olive. But there are some sunnier options, including tomato, leaf green, and steel blue.
But really, if you’re looking for Baggallini you’re much more interested in substance than style. It’s the lightweight and waterproof crinkle nylon that draws you in, and the convertible strap which takes the Downtown from backpack to sling bag. With your no-fuss lifestyle you don’t want to worry about spills or stains either, so it’s nice to know you can hand wash this bag with a mild detergent or ordinary dish soap.
Then there’s the interior, which offers much more than a couple of token pockets. A cell phone pouch, key fob, and detachable ID/coin purse are some of the handy features. They complement the large side pockets, which can keep your PDA and digital camera at your fingertips. There’s another gusseted pocket up front, which even has built in credit card slots. They’re all secure of course, with zippers ensuring your goodies stay put. The hardest part might be finding your essentials once you’ve packed them away!
The $89.95 retail value won’t buy high-end designer style, but it will buy the sort of practicality girls on the go appreciate.
