I bought this purse 5 years ago in red and used it almost exclusively. Lightweight yet I can cram in a ton and keep it organized. On cool days I've been able to put a lightweight sweater in the center section. I bought another one now in purple only because my red one was looking a little dirty despite my washing it. Love that I can put in my water bottle, travel umbrella and kindle. Adjustable strap length is great. My friend liked mine so much that she also ordered one for our 1 month vacation.

I have a couple of these Travelon bags, in different sizes. I got them because I had two vacations clmkng up this year - one domestic and one overseas. I took this bag in my luggage on my overseas trip, while I used a smaller bag on the plane. Once I got to my destination, this was my daily bag, large enough for my painting aupplies, if needed, and a waterbottle, with locking sections for my personal ID, money, passport, etc. I was particularly pleased with the length of the strap as I am rather fluffy and wanted to be able to use it as cross-body bag. While we were mostly based at a single secure venue, we did have a couple of tours that took us into towns and I was confident of the bag’s secure zippers, reinforced strap and bottom to keep my belonging safe. It was comfortable to carry, even weighed downwith water bottle and other paraphernalia. Some reciews I eead before purchasing it said the top was narrow which made it difficult to use. Yes, it is narrower than the rest of the bag - it is something of a security feature, I believe. I really had no trouble with it. It does have two side zipper mesh pockets for water bottle or small umbrella. I used one side for water and the other side to hold my clip on sunglasses case from dangling while I walked. For my phone, I have it on a lanyard and looped it through the bag’s strap then tucked the phone in the easy-reach open back pocket of the bag. It was against my body so my phone was doubly secured. Purple is my color and it is a beautiful rich purple! I definitely recommend it.

I had already thrown all the wrapping paper and cardboard package it came in, ready to proudly wear my new anti-theft bag, when I noticed, even before my trip even started, that one of the zipper/locks had broken. Let me remind you that these are the main features of that kind of bag. There is a little spring in the locker mechanism that is supposed to open the lock and also to keep it closed. Without the spring, the little latch is gaping open, unable to hold its grip onto the opposing ring to lock the bag. So, it is no longer an anti-theft bag. So, not worth the money.

Well made as expected, many qualities like anti theft and rfid built in. Many interior and exterior pockets, roomy enough to hold necessary travel needs but small enough to be easily manageable. Would definitely refer to purchase. I’d purchase again if needed.

This is the purse I ended up getting for an overseas trip after hearing so much about pickpocketing. I returned a couple of styles that were just too small before finding this one. It took me a while to get used to it and to wearing it across the front as a messenger bag since I mostly use a waistpack and tote bag these days. However, my phone doesn't fit in my waistpack with all my glasses and other stuff, so that was really the reason I started looking. This was as small as I could get and still carry everything I wanted to for a trip! It has lots of pockets. I used an outer end pocket for a tissue pack rather than a water bottle because my small REI water bottle fit inside. Felt very safe carrying this, and the purple color is a great neutral.

The bag itself is lightweight, it is roomy with plenty of pockets, sensible organisation, RFID shielding and secure able zip tags. The only thing I would have preferred was a padded and non slip sleeve over the shoulder strap, as when the bag was full it dug in, and bags have a tendency to slide off my shoulders.

This bag arrived very quickly, even though it came from the US. It seems very sturdily made, holds a ton of stuff and the additional side pockets are very unobtrusive, whether open or closed (with a zip). I particularly like the colour, which means that it can be used all year round. The discount on the full price was very good too!

This is my second purse I’ve bought from Travelon. My 1st one is smaller & used for when I travel. This one I use everyday. I love the feeling of being safe, no worries that someone is going to scan it for my credit card info or try to cut it off me or snatch it. The adjustable strap makes it easy to wear crossbody. It also has these nice sturdy little safety clips that you can use to prevent anyone from trying to unzip your compartments & a safety clip that locks the strap into place. My 1st purse (which is smaller & by Travelon) is the same way. The main reason I went with this brand is the fact that it is RFID secure, which brings an incredible amount of relief that your bankcards are safe! Another feature of this purse I really like is that it has 2 side zipper compartments to put either a water bottle or a small foldable umbrella in! There’s a nice size pocket on the back of the purse too! Doesn’t lack pockets inside or out for your stuff! Which is very helpful since I carry everything from bandaids, neosporin, wipes, tissue & so on in my purse! I work as a Nanny & my children have deemed my bag, “The Mary Poppins bag”!! 🤣 They also have a nice selection of great looking purses, backpacks (my next purchase) & other things! Hope this was helpful! Not a great picture, it’s actually a darker purple, flash makes it look lighter than it is! I tried to get the big security clip & one of the smaller ones in the pic. Hope this was helpful!

I looked a long time for a travel bag and I really thought I would love this one. I liked the safety features, the zip pockets, and the size. What I really wanted was a bag that would hold a water bottle, was lightweight, and had a cross strap as I was tired of a backpack. By the time I tucked in a full water bottle into the side pocket, wallet, coin purse, passport, tissues, hand wipes, small notebook and pen, a couple of first aid items, and various other items, then picked up brochures and maps throughout the day, it became very heavy and uncomfortable. I was constantly shifting it from shoulder to shoulder. I did like the outside zip pocket for subway passes and "hop on" buses that I needed to access quickly. I didn't have any problems with the zippers as other reviewers commented and I used it daily for 6 weeks. It is a very sturdy bag, the cross strap is wide enough to carry weight and not cut into your shoulder, and if you don't need to carry as many items as I did, I suspect you will like it a lot better. If you are using it as a travel bag with similar requirements as mine you might want to order it and test it out for a day at home. I might go back to a backpack.

Three reasons to buy this purse:- want a good sturdy bag that looks pretty good and has built in security features- you want to fit your wallet, phone, a small umbrella, a small camera plus other small items (eg pens, lip balm, etc)- I was able fit all this plus my small day towel to handle the Asian summer humidity.- you want to be able to carry a bottle of water and juice. I managed small bottles easily and also my larger metal water bottle.Bonus reason:- you love lots of pocketsThings I noticed:- other reviewers commented about the stitching on the strap coming undone. This did not happen to my bag and I was pretty tough with it. They must’ve fixed this issue.- I wanted to buy a grey bag but it was sold out so I picked this colour instead. The colour is better than I expected. On my laptop screen the bag looked like olive brown but in real life it is a nicer shade of brown than what appeared on the screen, I was pleasantly surprised.- the RFID slots for cards are a bit problematic because the cards fit loosely and come out easily. I just resolved this by carrying an RFID card wallet.

Es una bolsa que además de bonita, es cómoda para cargar, muy práctica para viajar y para el uso diario. Me gusta mucho que es súper ligera pero a la vez es muy resistente. Ya la usé durante la lluvia y efectivamente es impermeable. También es resistente a las manchas, ya que con un trapito húmedo son muy fáciles de quitar. Me ha resultado muy práctico el compartimiento lateral para llevar mi thermo de café el cual no interfiere con el espacio interior de la bolsa, está muy bien diseñada. Además de todo lo anterior tiene la parte anti-thief lo que da una sensación de mucha tranquilidad. La recomiendo mucho, estoy muy contenta con mi compra.
