Large Carryall Weekender Tote Bag

I really wanted to love this bag. I am planning a trip overseas and it looked like the perfect carry on and excursion bag. However, once it came, I noticed that it only had one zipper and no safety locking feature and no partner it was RFID secure. It is just a simple old style tote. I called and spoke to the wonderful folks at the call center but the only suggestion provided was to return it. It had great potential. Perhaps, maybe they could add a cord or something to make securing it easier.

I love Baggallinis -- they are so well-designed and purposeful. And it is difficult to wear one out. I have quite a few of them, and I have given away all the leather bags I once owned (for the sake of the animals that they are made of). This bag is a lot bigger than I expected it to be. I was afraid it would not hold my 15" MacBook Pro, but there is a ton of room in it, and two LARGE holders for upright drink containers (holds the 40 oz steel bottles). I can even toss in my small Baggallini purse, and more. It has an attachable cross-body strap to make it hands-free. I go to meetings where I need to carry my laptop, water bottle, protein shake, and several batches of handouts, and this is perfect.
