Looking for a lightweight crossbody bag to hold my purse & misc.

Depending on the size of your current Baggalini, perhaps just a larger one that the smaller one fits into?

This isn’t my current Baggalini, but it’s this size:

Maybe something like this: Small Sling Crossbody Bag for Women Men, Mini Crescent Bag with Adjustable Strap, 2 Zippers Lightweight Nylon Shoulder Waist Fanny Pack Belt Bag for School Sport Casual Travel Hiking Work https://a.co/d/6mU9jRE

There are any number of Baggalini options that yours would fit into, including:

I find my Baggalini purses at TJ Maxx for much less.

I have a bag similar to this one that I bought in Europe many years ago & it works really well to hold my purse & a snack on the plane.

I use a Civita Shoulder Bag in exactly this manner. Very light weight and easy to stash in my suitcase when I don't need it.

I am picky about my purses and prefer a hobo design that fits crossbody. I have an older version of this Baggallini and it has become my everyday purse, though most likely more space than I need. https://www.amazon.ca/Baggallini-Womens-Essential-Crossbody-Cadet/dp/B0B13B5W3Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?crid=1UI18RFYOTNX0&keywords=baggallini+hobo&qid=1684512682&sprefix=bagalling+hobo%2Caps%2C235&sr=8-6

I like the waterbottle end pockets though they work best with juice sized bottles (keeps the overall weight down). I put sunglasses in one, and bus pass in the other. It has a zipped trolley sleeve and on the other side mine has just an open pocket. This zipped one makes cell phones a bit more secure. The only thing still missing is an inside zipped pocket, but if they kept the clip key lanyard, you can clip a change purse to it.
This is my personal item with a carry on roller bag. I try to keep it to purse items only, but easily holds water, snacks and a sweater.

I use a Kipling tote bag (mine is the Sherpa Bag that is discontinued now called The Shasha) that can be used cross body or with handles or a sleeve over the handle of my carry on suitcase. My "real purse" that I bring from home fits in there and I also pack a smaller "Europe only" cross body bag that is packed and ready to go when we land that stays in there also. I have had this bag for about 7 years and it has been on multiple trips and is my overnight bag also for domestic travel. Black, non-descript.

Jean, here's what I've been doing (which probably sounds a little counterproductive, but it's working for me). I brought the G4free backpack from Amazon as my personal item, and had the same problems as you keeping it on my shoulder. It took me a week or so of struggling with it, before I finally started putting the G4free backpack on my back and carrying the Cotopaxi.

Don't laugh! I know it sounds stupid but it's working for me. My Cotopaxi was around 18 lbs, and I actually got rid of a few things so now it's down to around 16 lbs., so it's easy to carry. But I'm also carrying some of the stuff in the small backpack and use it when I'm out for the day.

Maybe this is bigger than you want, but it looks pretty darned functional to me: https://www.kipling-usa.com/asseni-printed-tote-bag/KI2225.html?dwvar_KI2225_color=219#uuid=01e668c2772aa8158a20df2fa3

I use a Tom Bihn Maker's Bag for exactly this purpose.

https://www.tombihn.com/collections/shoulder-bags/products/the-makers-bag?variant=39386571833533

It holds my smaller everyday bag, plus snacks, airplane items (inflatable pillow, etc,), medications, lightweight sweatshirt, charger cords/batteries, water bottle, whatever I need it to carry -- it is kind of like a Mary Poppins bag, even though it's quite small.

It does not meet your zipper requirement, but it does have a flap that keeps things more secure than it looks like it might. For myself, I pack all smaller items in organizer pouches, then I leash all the pouches to the O-rings that are inside the Maker's Bag. Absolutely nothing has ever fallen out, even when shoved sideways under the airplane seat, but even if it did, the leash would keep whatever fell out from getting lost.

This bag has been on every trip I've ever made since I bought it maybe 8 years ago -- overnights (my one bag for 2/3 days), car trips, international trips... I really love it.

Thanks, everyone, for your responses! I really appreciate them! We were having a family reunion this week, so I’ll look at them in detail this afternoon.

The reason for some of the criteria is I’m taking a couple of Easy Jet flights in Europe during this trip, and generally I travel frequently by train and want to be hands-free when I’m getting on & off trains, metros, etc.

Jean, you might take a peek at the Tom Bihn crossbody bags..several sizes, lightweight. The top openings may not be what you’d like, though.

Thanks so much! Circling around with my end result.

I looked up all of your suggestions. And, Letizia, when you mentioned “Sherpa” it reminded me of the Sherpani brand, so I also looked at their options in sizes that were similar to others everyone mentioned.

I purchased the Sherpani Camden, and it arrived today. I absolutely love it! It’s a great rectangular cube shape, so it will hold plenty. It still is smaller than the Easy Jet personal size dimensions. It comes with nice handles, backpack straps and a strap to carry it crossbody. I don’t need the backpack straps, so even though they tuck in nicely, I cut them at their base and threw that extra bulk away - no need to bring something to Europe I don’t want or need. This will hold my purse inside during transportation, along with some snacks. On the way home, it can hold my souvenirs.

There’s some useful exterior & interior zipper pockets, a couple of water bottle pockets, and a nice interior sleeve for my iPad. And I love the color choices! I bought the Pacific Blue, so it’s black with the blue accent which looks so nice with my Cotopaxi Allpa which is also the same colors.

Dimensions: 16” x 11” x 5.5”
Weight: 1 lb 9 oz (I cut off the backpack straps which weighed 3.5 oz.)
Holds 19 liters

Jean, which fun color did you get? I think it is a cute bag.

Hi Laurie Beth, I bought the Pacific Blue one. It’s black with blue accents.

I chose that color because my Cotopaxi backpack is also named Pacific which is black sides & backpack straps with the Pacific blue color on the face of it.

Jean- I love it! looks nice and roomy. I love a bag with one big compartment.

I use a 40L lightweight backpack as my carry on and I got this duffle bag as my personal item. It weighs almost nothing and I think it's only 22$ right now. I picked up some strap fabric to sew onto it to make it into a cross body bag because, while it wasn't much trouble holding onto it, I'd rather have my hands and arms free. I'll pack my travelon purse inside it for use once I'm settled in.

Hi KRS, your link didn’t work, but I do see a Forestfish bag on Amazon when I searched on that name. I agree; I want my hands to be free when I’m boarding trains and just walking in general to/from train stations.
