Customer Reviews Baggallini International Gold Helsinki Bag

love that it is light weight,giving up on leather bags due to shoulder problems. There is plenty of room in this bad. I hav become a huge Baggallini lover.

Using my Helsinki bag for the first time on a trip to New York. Perfect size and holds so much. Very pleased with my purchase! Thank you!!

This is the perfect "Bagg" for both travel and everyday use - not too large and not too small. It's just right! I especially love the 2 side pockets - one for sun glasses and one for keys. I was especially pleased to be able to purchase my 2nd Helsinki on sale.

I was looking for a new travel bag that could hold a water bottle. The description does not say there are zipper sections on both sides of the bag where a water bottle slips right in. I like that the bag is cute and doesn't scream "I'm a tourist!" The only thing that would make it slightly better would be if it had the RFID features that some Baggalini bags have.

This is the third baggallini bag that I have purchased. I love the thoughtful design with pockets and compartments for everything. It is easy to keep track and separate items and it is versatile enough for any occasion. I also love the light weight (1 lb.) as I have neck issues and try to avoid carrying overloaded, heavy bags. This bag allows me to carry what I need without worry of the excess weight of the bag itself.

I have searched my life (several decades long!) for The Perfect Purse. This is it. Not too many pockets, but just the right ones for my keys, wallet, phone, journal, etc. And it is cross body which I love. It is larger than most baggallinies I've had, and I've had dozens, but I love being able to fit my book and a snack for my grandsons inside!

Trying to find a bag that can hold everything I need to carry yet not be the size of a small suitcase has been an extremely futile search. Until now. I truly love everything about this bag. Easy to find things, lightweight, water resistant, I even have pockets I don't use. That is a first for me. I bought the hibiscus thinking it would be red red. It's more deep coral, which I actually prefer now that I see it in person. I will be buying another one, probably in black.

Am a big fan of the brand and this latest bag cements my fandom. Great styling, plenty of room inside and with extra pockets on the outside for keys, phone, my ebook reader, and travel documents. Bag has more structure than the hobo style and looks a bit more uptown.

Champagne shimmer is neutral but vibrant. Bag has lots of capacity without looking utilitarian.

This is my second one I love it! I like to carry it over my shoulder. It's very durable last forever.

I'm pleased with this Helsinki bag, which I bought for international traveling. It is slightly smaller than I expected from the pictures and other reviews, but that's good, as my main concern was that it was too big for a short woman to carry comfortably. I like the many pockets and compartments, inside and out, including the two roomy side pockets (zippered). The strap is comfortably wide and adjustable. The bag fits a book, phone, mini iPad, the included pouch which I fill with toiletries, wallet, passport, credit cards, a small water bottle, and keys attached to the long included cord. I still have plenty of room for the myriad other things one stuffs into a purse for a day of sightseeing and travel. For reference, a light cardigan fills the entire bag, but you can easily fit a compact umbrella inside. The blue striped fabric is casual but suitable for work, city tourism, and modest restaurants, and the overall feeling is sturdy yet light, a hybrid of satchel and pouch.

I love this bag - I have a black and white one and was looking for a red one. Sadly the hibiscus color was a little too orange for what I was looking for.

This is a very classy bag! Not only is it good looking, it has plenty of room and lots of compartments to organize your belongings. I think it will travel well. I am taking it to Vienna.

Great bag!

Just enough packets to hold the right things.

Love the gray! This bag looks better for dressier occasions. Great pockets inside and out.

This is my second bagg. Love the first so much, I had to have another in a different color. Great style, size and weight.

Love the fabric; stylish and functional. Able to hold tablet, wallet and other essentials without being bulky.

Beautiful purse. Perfect size, lovely material, extremely well made. Light but very durable and easy to keep clean. I LOVE Bagallini purses!!!

This is my 4th Helsinki gold bag. I like all the pockets, I know where to find things in my purse.

Light weight and tons of pockets to keep you organized.

Excellent producy

I bought this style a year ago & the zipper literally fell apart!! after a year. I just bought another because I like the style & features. Hoping it wears better for the $$$. Thanks

I used my bag for the first time on a weekend trip & found it to be what I wanted, w/room for everything I needed.

That's how much I love the Helsinki purse. For starters, it's a perfect size. I put a lot in it and still find what I'm looking for thanks to two outside pockets that are big enough to stick my hand in, and the nice big zipper pocket inside (floss, emery board, aspirin, etc). Then there are the attached cash pouch and the credit card slots (the person in front of you in the checkout line hunting for wallet or grocery club card or coupons? NOT ME) And I may be flustered and leave my cash pouch on the counter, but it's ATTACHED. The iPad compartment? No iPad, but because the divider is stiff, whatever I do put there is once again easy to find. The main body of the purse is roomy and can fit small camera, paperback, umbrella. Bandolier-style strap is comfortable (not scratchy or too wide) and leaves both hands free. The small zippered side pockets are useless except for maybe Kleenex because the zips don't stay up, but the rest of the purse is perfect.
