Baggallini Horizon Crossbody

Purchased this bag in apple red -- its a beautiful true red color but not too bright. Unfortunately, Im having to return for 3 reasons: 1. The front pockets are very nice and hold either my Galaxy S5 with Otterbox case or my compact digital camera. Unfortunately, the pockets are too shallow to hold even the smallest eyeglass case. 2. The strap design causes its own problems -- they are attached along the top of the rear side of the bag so it is designed with a half-twist in the strap. I think this is what causes other reviewers to complain about subsequent twisting of the strap. Baggallini needs to include a sliding loop that will keep the strap together near the sewn on metal loop to avoid this problem. When using it crossbody, the fairly wide strap migrates quickly (and uncomfortably) against your neck -- no matter how much I adjusted it. Theres not enough surface tension in the nylon webbing strap to keep it where you want it. 3. Absolutely no depth to the bag -- its basically an assortment of pockets sewn flatly together. I dont need much depth in a bag because I dont carry around a wallet, but I need SOME depth to accommodate an occasional bulky item. Wish I could find another Baggallini crossbody about this same size, only 1 to 2 inches in depth, with straps sewn to the opposite sides of the bag.

I have been a fan of Baggallini for years. But this bag has some design problems. First, it did not match the picture on the Amazon site, It has an additional pocket on the front, full width, secured by a magnetic button. But the bag is very slim, like an envelope, so just a wallet will make it bulge, and that pocket was always popping open. It was impossible to keep it closed. It also had a contrasting fabric inside, so when it was open it was noticeably sloppy looking. Beware this bag is not like the pictures.
