baggallini All Day Large Duffel Weekender Bag with Crossbody Strap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it!!! My Christmas present “from my husband” 😏😉.. the color is rich and I love this fabric!

Bought this as a weekend bag and used recently on a 4 day trip. The Mulberry color is GORGEOUS! I am not a fan of the "colored" bags and prefer black, gray and navy, but this color is fantastic! Rich and dark enough to work with all my neutrals-so a big win in the color department. It was large enough for a 4 day trip and I am a pretty minimalist packer. I did like the amount of pockets inside and out, but wish the luggage "pocket" zipped on the bottom as in other styles. This makes it easy to put things in and have them fall out if you're not careful. My biggest complaint, however, is the strap. It is simply too thin for even a half packed bag of this size. It also attaches at the zipper sides-not a good idea for long-term use since I already filled this bag and had to use the handles instead of the strap due to the weight and the pulling of a too-thin strap on the main zipper of the bag. Tried to order a wider strap, but there is no strap offering in the Mulberry and the current prints also don't match. All in all, a vey well-made bag and beautiful color and layout, but the luggage sleeve not zipping and the thin strap were a fail for me. Please, Baggallini, take this one back to the drawing board and you'd have a perfect bag!

I have purchased other Baggallini bags and have not been disappointed. This is roomy and expands. I like the compartments. I saw some reviews where people have said they use it as a carry on bag in planes. I prefer to use suitcase locks when traveling but there is no space add a lock.
