Big Bag

They know their merchandise and carry a nice selection from domestic and foreign labels.
I found them very helpful and quick with assistance. I’ve referred friends to the store and they were all satisfied.

I’ve bought two handbags here over the past two years and am both incredibly happy with the bags and very satisfied with their service. There’s no pressure at all and they work with you to find the bag you want. I’ve yet to find such an incredible selection and literally every time I wear one of their bags I get comments — in fact, if I had money for all the great comments I get, I’d be in Europe traveling for a year! Unique handbags, fair prices and great service — I won’t shop for handbags anywhere else.

I was walking by this store today and a gorgeous (red) purse in the window caught my eye. I went inside and the price confirmed my fears; too rich for my blood, as they say. The store had a *great* selection of beautiful purses & wallets and I could easily have bought several of each, except for that pesky price problem for each item. The owner couple — or at least I think that’s who they were — never approached me (which was fine), but a nice young man asked if I needed any help.

I’ve visited this store before and always loved browsing for various bags. Today I went in with the intention of buying a bag but I left empty-​handed. Talk about pushy sales. This lady refused to leave me alone; that’s until the very end.
As customary, she came by and asked what I was looking for. I told her that I’m extremely picky when choosing a bag and that I prefer to just browse to get a sense of everything they had. So, she came by within a few seconds to recommend some bags. I liked them, she had me try them out and look in the mirror. I wasn’t too keen on them. She then continuously kept on recommending me bags and I nixed all her recommendations. I had mentioned I was interested in sturdy nylon bags earlier but I got side-​tracked as I really loved a leather bag they had. The salewoman proceeded to tell me, «well, that’s not nylon,» to suggest that it was too expensive for me. Funny, cause I never mentioned price range.
She then proceeded to tell me that they just don’t have anything for me and that I should come back. Didn’t I say I was picky about choosing a bag and that I’d rather browse? I asked her if they’re closing right that second. She said no. So I continued to browse. She finally got the hint and started helping another woman; someone who she didn’t even bother to address until the woman went to her. I guess this sales lady had it out for me. I took a good browse, saw some bags I liked, and got the brand names and will buy them elsewhere.

This is about their luggage… I don’t have the right parts to carry a purse. That said, their luggage selections are fairly lackluster if you want anything other than Tumi. Store is good, staff is friendly, prices weren’t within my range.

Loved this place when it was on 8^th St; purchased a couple of things from them. Even when I didn’t need a bag, I’d love to browse their well-​edited selection of chic totes, clutches, toiletry cases, wallets, etc. Lots of good stuff from bag specialists like Orla Kiely, Marimekko, Tano, Tumi, etc.

I bought a Hobo wallet from Big Bag about a year ago. But after continuous use, the coin purse clasp stopped closing shut. I took it in and told them what happened, and it took one of the men working there 5 seconds to fix it. So glad I stopped in to ask!

Marimekko galore! That’s why I love this place so much. Stopped by yesterday and almost walked out with a couple of bags… Good thing I didn’t. My wallet would have hated me afterwards! But someday I WILL spend money here and a lovely bold Marimekko bag will be hanging off my shoulder!
Friendly salespeople. Great selection of purses, backpacks, laptop bags, wallets, make-​up bags, etc.

if you like pretty things (and pretty people, but that goes unsaid), this is a refreshing little oasis… walk in and be welcomed by the soothing sight of bags, bags, everywhere… in all stripes, dots, and shapes cute and pretty. funny how you never realized you needed so many things until now… like an infusion of orla kiely… and hobo… and other shiny objects you just can’t stop reaching out for. and if your laptop needs a cute new outfit too, well, it won’t feel left out now.

This is a huge, huge store, with one of the best selections of midpriced bags I have ever seen. The brands are excellent. You’re not going to find a Marc Jacobs purse here, but you can find great backpacks, luggage, overnight totes, cute evening purses, and they also carry a small but chic line of accessories like earrings. I really enjoyed discovering this shop. I bought a Baggolini small backpack for schlepping around the city last fall that was the best investment I ever made. Well, actually, my Merrell sandals I got to bring to Paris in April were the best investment I ever made, but this is a close second.
