Considering getting a Baggallini for your DL trip?

[avalon451]

Hey, just wanted to pass this on for all you Baggallini fans out there. I just found a discount code for bagsbuy.com, "save10". I was able to get the periwinkle ripstop nylon messenger bag that I'd been hankering after: http://www.bagsbuy.com/baggallini-mes160-messenger-bagg/121602

It was $31.45, but when you sign up you become a member, allowing you 10% off. So with the $10 off code, plus an extra 10% off, AND free shipping, it came to $19.30. Not bad!

Hound will be glad to know I'm leaving my ugly waist pack at home.

Funny you started this thread, Gail. Just today, I received my brand new - and very first - Baggallini via UPS! It is all because of the DISboards. Had I not read so many things about these bags on this board, I never would have ordered one. Even though mine had a 20% off discount because I ordered it on Sunday, it still ended up costing around forty bucks with shipping included. I got it from eBags. It is the black crinkle nylon messenger kind, and I am trying to get used to it. I usually strap purses across my chest, so I thought I would be used to the way this one is set up, but I can't quite get it to where I am comfortable with how it rests on my body and is convenient to reach. I like having bags resting sort of on the side of my hip, but no matter which way I turn this thing, it is either more on my back or on my stomach, and one corner is always jutting out a little too much because there is no strap on that end, so it will take some getting used to. I extended the strap as well.

Anyway, just as far as compartments go, it has a lot. I practiced shoving a water bottle into the very snug bottle compartment on the side of the bag, and I know if I put anything in there, it will stay put. I put in some glasses and other things in the different pockets just to test the storage capacity! Basically, that is what I have been doing today - putting things in my new Baggallini and taking them out again!

Thank you!!!

I purchased the Uptown Bag just before my trip and I love it; only one issue. The material on the bag made my yoga pants "pill" from rubbing on my hip when I walked. Just FYI, because I too like my bag to sit on my hip. And the Uptown was a perfect fit with loads of compartments inside and out. Soooo, just wear your bag higher if you're wearing yoga type pants.

Thanks! Those bags look so neat!

Really? That's good to know, because I have problems with that sort of thing as a rule. I have bad bag luck! Last year in September, I got a nice-sized purse that was not too big or too small and it had lots of compartments and a long strap which I prefer), and the zipper broke while in DLR! Then, in December, I had a much bigger Disney purse with me that inexplicably had NO zipper anywhere on it, and the main compartment was held together by a flimsy snap that kept coming open! Not only did things keep falling out of my bag, but it also pilled my nice sweater from the rubbing while walking problem. So I got this Baggallini, hoping it would be the answer to my prayers, but I can see I will either not be able to get it to rest on my hip like I want, or it will pill my pants or shirt! Arrrrrgggghhhhh!

Hey, good deal on that bag!

If bagsbuy has the same member discount thing as shoebuy, as a head's up you have to buy every 60 days to keep that current. Otherwise, the next time you order you won't get that 10% off (but the following order you will if it's inside of 60 days).


Sherry, on our last trip, I noticed that I liked my baggallini nicely shored up. Might not have looked lovely, but the weight was pulling on me and hurting me. But as I got it up so my back was happier, it turned out that my left arm was scraping against the velcro on the side pocket. I discovered that a day or so later while showering, and having a sudden burning on my arm from the hot water! I had the nastiest set of scratches on that arm from the velcro!

So I guess that's just a warning. Back pain or arm scrapes. (I do love the bag, but youch!)

Oh, really? I know what you mean about those types of friction rashes, though. You don't necessarily realize you are getting them as they are happening, and then a couple of days later in the shower - OUCH! I can see that I would be one with the Velcro rubbing on my arm if I hoist the bag up my back, and if I keep it low, it will pill my sweater or pants! Oh well. I will just have to get it into a comfortable location ON me first - something I can live with that doesn't feel too weird - and then I will deal with rashes and pilling later. In the past, I have also had certain clasps on bags rip holes in my clothes because they kept poking into the material while I walked! I wish I could go bag-free but I carry too much stuff! I need some sort of bag, but they are a pain! Men never understand that that is why women get so excited when they find a really good bag - one that is roomy, durable, has many compartments, is a good value, good material and quality, and fits just right on your body! We can go through a lot of clunkers before we find a good one!

Thank you!! I was iffy about buying a bag for our trip, but thinking about souvenirs and carrying a bunch of bags was the clincher.

Last trip I used a fanny pack, and the poor thing was just about splitting at the seams. I had it crammed full of everything : camera, cell phone, money, ID, autograph book, etc.

I have a while to get used to this before our trip now. And for less than $20 - wow!

(I got the black so I can toss it to DH if I get tired of lugging it around. Why is it always the woman who carries everything??? LOL)

Hey, DisSarahK, why do you suppose when I go directly to the bagsbuy.com link that avalon451 posted I CAN order a lime green bag, but when I go to ebate.com, and then to bagsbuy, they don't have it in the green? I reaaaaally want the green one! And I also want the extra 8% off!

 

[avalon451]

I'd be kind of surprised if you'd be able to go through e-bags, get 8% off, plus 10% off at bagsbuy, PLUS use the $10 off discount code.

BTW, I ordered my bag on Wednesday. It shipped on Thursday, and I got it on Friday! Amazing! It's awesome.
