Very classy!

Of course they do. Handy for when you suddenly find yourself in a joust, too.

I’m leery of wearing a backpack/purse because it’s vulnerable to theft i.e. the zipper is right there for someone to open. No? Seems like Travelon has secure zipper locks. All should have anti-theft features IMO.

I have adored my white gauze shirts this summer.

Have you ordered anything from that company (CINO)? They seem to have some cute stuff. On the expensive side but very cute.

I’ve worn only a backpack purse for like 20+ years. I’m sure to close it. I don’t put anything of value in an out facing pocket/zipper. They’d have to take me down to get to the top or front enclosure ! AND they are less able to grab it and run like a purse carried on a shoulder or hand.

Hands free is AMAZING while
Shopping!

Agree, but I get the same benefit from wearing my bag cross-body and everything’s conveniently in front of me.

This is the purse.

I bought a travel bag and have quite a few reward points burning a hole in my pocket.

Its down to the silver or this black and camel one

Although right now I’m trying to have some restraint and not purchase either and let those dang rewards expire :grimacing:

You do you! I find a crossbody ok but more restricting. If I decide to go for a walk or want to carry a bunch of stuff (both of which happen frequently when out and about - I have no restrictions with my item on my back.

We lead different lifestyles - that is why there are so many choices out there!

Since we’re showing silver purses, this is the Baggallini I bought for my nephew’s wedding during the flash sale last year. It works for me for dress up occasions. I wear it either over my shoulder or cross body depending on how my shoulder feels and how crowded it is.

I now covet the magnet colored hobo bag.
I’d have a hard time with silver as an every day bag, but it is nice looking.

I really like the bag in magnet also.

I’m very torn which bag to pick. Or pick none at all.

I would like a new travel lightweight crossbody big enough for a map, wallet and phone. I will look at this brand. I also use it for sailing trips so want small and lightweight.
My Baggalini is tired and they don’t make the size anymore. I bought a newer one like @Marilyn linked but I’d prefer smaller. This last Europe trip I used an old Fossil synthetic lightweight bag but it’s also getting worn.

I really like MZ Wallace. They aren’t cheap but well made. Light and durable in my experience.

I bought a travel backpack in the spring that I’ve flown with twice. Which is why I had reward points that I “needed” to use before they expired.

They sell the brand at Nordstrom but I’ve bought mine directly from MZ Wallace. They offer a percentage off for new customers. I’ve had good luck with their customer service also. I can’t say that about every place I’ve dealt with.

The bags have leather trim but I’ve washed them with no issues so I would think they will be ok on a sailboat.

I have the MZ Wallace Mini Metro Tote Deluxe in Magnet that I have had over a year. I don’t always use the strap while home, but always put it on when traveling. It is big enough for a daily bag, and will hold my large wallet, glasses case and such, but small enough to drag around when traveling; I don’t use my big wallet to save weight.

TJMaxx always has a good selection of Baggallini bags in lots of styles and sizes for $20. If you’re in the market for a medium or largish one, make sure to check the area where the luggage and travel accessories are located. There are usually a few there too.
