Central Park Large Sling Bag

This most recent purchase was my 'second try';, and like another reviewer quoted here, I was VERY relieved the so-called 'phone pocket' on the strap had been jettisoned... Useless - BUT, the number of logical compartments and specific design elements make up for any minor shortcomings. I wanted something compact that would force me to reduce the amount of clutter I tended to carry, and this HOLDS everything I really need in a practical format and accessibility. I'm very happy with my new bag (Large Central Park Sling) and would buy it yet again if I need to do so!

I love the Central Park Sling, and was very happy to see the larger version with water bottle pockets. I bought the first version, which had a weirdly placed zippered phone pocket on the strap. I put my phone in the pocket behind the clip but used the pocket on the strap for small items, but it was awkwardly placed and I was thrilled to see this version without the phone pocket. This large sling is great for traveling, holds a lot, and is well organized. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the the strap is not the self -contained adjustable loop like the regular Central Park Sling. It has a long loose end, which is not the polished look Baggalini has always had. I hoped that this version would have had a corrected strap since the phone pocket was removed. Alas, still a long loose strap to deal with. Baggalini, you can do better, please!
