Why I Don’t Take Many Trips Without These 3 Essential Baggallini Bags 

• News and Tips
• Travel Products

If you travel, you know how important the right bag (or bags) is. That’s why I often reach for my essential Baggallini bags — a crossbody purse and a durable, rightly sized tote bag. They’re great for everything from an international adventure to a road trip to an overnight trip.

I took a Baggallini crossbody purse and tote bag on the biking trip my husband Dean and I took to Slovenia, Austria, and Italy . I also took the bags on our biking trip to Ireland, where we traveled from southern Cork to the Cliffs of Moher , then to the Aran Islands , and the lovely northwestern Connemara Region . 

I reached for my Baggallini bags again when Dean and I headed out on road trips across the United States, and they were with me as we were strolling Joe Riley Waterfront Park in Charleston; touring the Continental Divide in Wyoming; grabbing lunch at the Crab Shack on Tybee Island , Georgia; exploring Grand Prismatic Spring (my favorite) in Yellowstone National Park, traipsing across America’s highest suspension footbridge at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina; hiking Patapsco Valley State Park near Ellicott City, Maryland , and more.

I purchased my first Baggallini bag years ago and have been adding it to my collection ever since. I own three Baggallini purses (black, tan, and black print) and a gray tote bag. Guess you could say I’m a fan!

Here are the bags I use and enjoy.

Criss Cross Bagg

The Baggallini Criss Cross Bagg  is aptly named because the purse has two primary compartments that visually cross each other. There’s also a third place for storage between the compartments.

Key Features

• Lightweight, water-resistant nylon or printed fabric
• Interior organization and multifunctional pockets
• Quick access phone pocket
• Four credit card slots
• 52 inch adjustable crossbody strap
• Exterior dimensions: 11 inches wide x 10 inches high x 3 inches deep
• Weight: 9 ounces

I purchased my other Baggallini bags years ago (they last!) and the exact bags I have are no longer available, but here is a similar style.

Cross Over Crossbody

This Cross Over Crossbody  purse is like the tan and black print bags I have. This updated design w idens at the bottom to maximize storage capability, which is a smart idea.

• Removable wristlet included
• RFID Protection
• Exterior dimensions: 11 inches wide x 8.5 inches high x 4.5 inches deep
• Weight: 14 ounces

Last but not least, here is the tote bag that is closest to the one I have.

Avenue Tote Bag

This Avenue Tote Bag  is a great size. I use my tote bag often, including my carry-on bag on international flights, and it’s perfect for that.

• Quick access phone pocket and padded laptop pocket
• Sleeve for luggage handle
• 52 inch removable, adjustable crossbody strap
• Exterior dimensions: 18 inches wide x 12 inches high x 5.5 inches deep
• Weight: 1 pound, 4 ounces

Here are 13 reasons why I love my Baggallini bags.

1. Travel-Friendly Sizes

These bags are sized to hold everything I need without being too bulky. That means I can get what I need into and out of my crossbody purse and tote bag without a struggle.  

2. Lightweight

The fabric is lightweight, so I’m not weighed down when we are on the go. Dean and I like to “see what there is to see” when we travel, and I need a bag that keeps up. Of course, I can’t blame Baggallini for what these bags weigh once I’ve filled them, but that’s another story for another day.

3. Great Design

These bags are well-designed. Numerous exterior compartments help me stay organized. Inside, there’s a standard zippered pocket for items I want to keep more secure. I think these bags are practical, functional, and beautiful.

4. Durability

These bags are durable. In all our travels , they hold up to being tossed around and/or on the car floor and/or squished in the back of the car when someone (who shall remain nameless, but it’s not Dean) overpacks. Since Dean “sees in cubes,” he can pack a car to maximize square footage and the soft-sided tote bag sometimes ends up pressed in between more rigid things.

5. RFID Assurance

The inside, zippered pocket on the Cross Over Crossbody bag is RFID protected, which sounds like a good idea when I read the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) description from the Department of Homeland Security . Plus, extra assurance against credit card theft never hurts. 

6. Water-Resistant Nylon Fabric

Sometimes weather forecasters don’t get it right and you get stuck in a surprise rain shower. The nylon fabric of these bags repels water. They are not waterproof, but they are water resistant, and that helps when the weather is a surprise.

7. Easy Care

With a Baggallini bag, you don’t have to worry about every spill. The Cross Over Crossbody Bag needs to be spot cleaned; the Criss Cross Bag and Avenue Tote are machine washable. Find details on both methods here . Either way, these bags are easy to care for and clean.

8. Lots Of Colors

Sometimes, you want a basic, classic color that pairs effortlessly with everything. Sometimes, you want a bag that makes more of a statement. Perhaps that’s why I find myself with three Baggallini crossbody purses!

In any case, Baggallini has got you covered. As of this writing, the crossbody purses come in at least six colors and the tote bag has a dozen colors and patterns to choose from. There’s sure to be one that’s just right for you.

9. High Quality

The quality of these bags is obvious. The hardware is made of metal, the zippers are fluid and smooth open-and-close, the seams are sturdy, and the bags can hold up to the rigors of travel.

10. Baggallini’s One-Year Warranty

Baggallini backs their quality with a one-year warranty . I’ve never had to take them up on this, but it’s reassuring to know they stand behind their products.

11. Free Replacement Strap And Hardware Policy

Baggallini has a generous replacement strap and hardware policy. “If the style is still available, we can provide replacement straps for products that have a detachable strap, missing or lost screws from the turn toggle, or missing or lost buckles, at no extra charge.” See the website for full details.  

12. Baggallini’s Sale Section

What’s better than buying a beautiful, quality Baggallini bagg? Buying one on sale. Check the sale section of their website and see what’s being offered, because it changes from time to time. Who doesn’t love a deal?  

13. The Baggallini Story

The Baggallini story is unique. “Our entrepreneurial female founders were two global travelers who leveraged insights from around the world to create bags that help women feel organized, confident, and prepared for anything, whether it be a trip around the block or the globe.” 

Note: “Baggs” is not a typo. This is how Baggallini refers to their bags, or should I say baggs?

Those are the 13 reasons why I consider my Baggallini crossbody purses and tote bags my travel essentials, and I don’t take many trips without them.

When you travel across town or the world, an important part of travel is having the right gear and staying organized. A trip loses its luster when you are constantly misplacing things and digging through your bags to try to find something you need. That’s where Baggallini comes in.

To me, the Baggallini name represents well-designed, quality bags. The next time you plan to set out to explore new destinations, discover new experiences, and savor the journey along the way, make sure your bags are working for you. With a bag from Baggallini (or several), you’ll be ready to go the distance.

The Best Room At... The Fifth Avenue Hotel

This hotspot is everyone's favorite new Manhattan hotel. Come for the martini, stay for the pleated silk ceilings.

Perhaps you fell deeper in delight with the place when that martini prompted you to order the "hot dog au poivre" from the bar snacks menu, or when you strolled down the hall to your reservation at Cafe Carmellini and had your first encounter with the "Duck-Duck-Duck Tortellini."

But what really seals the deal, what makes it the hotel you will begin to recommend most consistently to visiting friends, is an overnight stay among the seemingly bottomless trove of whimsical Martin Brudnizki design details, from pleated silk ceilings to peacock emblazoned wallpapers to cheeky brass sconces. (Don't sleep on the olfactory delights either -- you can buy the hotel's intoxicating scent in candle form at the front desk). There is no bad room—not even a boring corner—of this hotel but, nevertheless, we forced the hotel's founder, Alex Ohebshalom, to pick his favorite.

What do you consider to be the best room at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and why?

This is like asking me which of my children I like best! If I had to choose I’d say The Fifth Avenue Suite. This is such a special suite, located in the historic mansion building of the hotel. It occupies an entire wing of the building with views overlooking Fifth Avenue and down towards Madison Square Park. It has a truly residential layout, with the living room and interior hallway connecting to the grand bathroom and corner bedroom; it is a quintessential NY pied-à-terre.

How much does it cost per night?

$3,500++ how would you describe the vibe at the hotel.

Residential, warm and whimsical. One often feels that they’ve been transported to somewhere beautifully familiar and inviting…where home meets fantasy.

What was the genesis of this hotel?

Ten years ago, feeling distracted and disconnected, I set off for Southeast Asia, which forced me to immerse myself into a foreign culture, where I learned to savor experiences—the smell, the feel, the taste of, say, a home cooked meal—hearing the story of a family: their past, their present and their dreams. Learning to be fully in the moment provoked a kind of nostalgia in me. I recalled my childhood when I was wide-eyed and curious, taking everything in with the child-like openness of discovery. Reading Baudelaire at the time, I discovered the ‘flâneur’ character—an observer fully immersed in his surroundings. I became fascinated with the idea of translating this living, breathing notion into an experience. It’s what I believe is missing from luxury hospitality. At The Fifth, our intention is to create the luxury of an atmosphere where guests can slow down and enjoy themselves, using all five senses, for their own enrichment and enchantment.

Give us an interesting tidbit about the amazing design throughout the hotel.

Where to start?! The hotel is truly a discovery; you could find something new every time you walk through its trove of beautiful spaces. I’m very proud of the art program at The Fifth Avenue Hotel. We have over 600 unique works of art throughout the hotel, it really is incredibly layered. Working with Martin Brudnizki we created so many bespoke pieces for the hotel and collaborated with exceptional artisans from around the world. We spent two years developing the mother of pearl inlaid bar carts that you will find in guestrooms. For the elevator banks (yes, we truly considered every space in the hotel!), we worked with artisans from Paris to do the pleating of the pink silk walls and ceiling…a very unique and technical process.

What do you think gives the property such a unique identity?

We are independent and truly chart our own course. You feel that when you walk it and you feel it in the exceptional service from our staff who are more like caretakers– there is a distinctly warm and personalized touch that you don’t often find in city hotels.

I think that our food and beverage offering is unmatched and offers some of the most exciting culinary experiences in New York. Our signature restaurant, Café Carmellini is named for Chef Andrew Carmellini and under his outstanding direction, our menu blends his career fostered in kitchens throughout New York City into a modern setting, taking guests on a journey through his rich history and showcasing the essence of traveling with The Fifth. And The Portrait Bar comes to life through Bar Director Darryl Chan’s sophisticated cocktails.

We also offer some of the city’s most unique places to gather – whether that is over a coffee in the light and airy Conservatory, a private dinner in our Cellar (with original bank vaults we preserved during construction) or a more formal affair in our Fifth Avenue-facing ballroom.

What's your perfect Fifth Avenue Hotel-based day?

After you check into the hotel and settle in, have our signature Martini Ritual in your suite. Saunter downstairs for an exceptional culinary experience with your dinner at Café Carmellini and finish off the evening with a night cap at The Portrait Bar. Following a glorious night of sleep and breakfast in the morning, stroll over to the Rizzoli flagship bookstore, take in an exhibition at Fotografiska and walk through the latest artist installation in Madison Square Park.

Poor responsiveness, I have reached out through the client portal twice and still have not heard back from anyone. I work for a high end organization looking to establish a relationship with a travel expert for group travel. so disappointing.

I love the Avenue Two Travel Team. I work with them for all of my travel planning.  Every business trip and every personal/leisure trip.  They always get me room upgrades, better seats on flights, and amenities when I check into hotels.  I highly recommend them for anyone looking to book any travel.  I don't know how they do it but always surprise me with extras that I wouldn't get if I booked on my own. Just a few pictures of a trip they planned for me in Ireland earlier this year!

My wife and I have been working with Marcie Kotler at Avenue Two Travel for many years. These days it's easy to book a trip online but without the experience of a seasoned travel advisor, it's also easy to make a mistake and pick the wrong resort or a flight that has a bad connection at an overly busy airport. We once got a free room upgrade at a hotel in Paris that was the nicest room I've ever stayed in because Marcie had spoken personally to the property manager on our behalf. That is the kind of service that keeps me coming back. Marcie has been an invaluable ally in getting us out of some problem situations. Most recently, Marcie helped us unravel a family trip to Italy that was cancelled as a result of the pandemic. I would have never been able to navigate all the airline and resort cancellation rules to get my money back without an advocate like Avenue Two Travel. There are many great reasons to use a travel agent and many more to use Avenue Two Travel. Ask for Marcie Kotler!

We loved working with this team! Jennifer helped us plan our dream vacation and we we look forward to working with her again!

I want to take the time to thank Avenue Two Travel for an outstanding job during the corvid19 crisis. In particular, travel agent Carissa Cummings always finds a way to get the job done. With cancellations happening right and left, she displayed her experience, knowledge and sound thinking in securing refunds for her clients. This is one of the many reasons why I encourage friends and family to use Avenue Two Travel and in particular Carissa Cummings. We look forward to booking our next adventure with Carissa.

I have to say that I have only dealt with one travel agent here and she is one of the most unpleasant employees I have ever dealt with at a professional establishment. She makes her customers feel stupid and incompetent. Not a pleasure to book here, not recommended.
