TravelonAnti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag

Well organized purse with lots of zippered pockets. Felt more secure walking around crowded areas known for pickpockets because of the slash-proof material and zipper locks.Great travel purse, but also great for everyday use because it’s a neutral color and a perfect size, even for a petite woman.I highly recommend.

Just received this purse after a lot of research. I wanted a smaller, lighter bag that I could use for a European trip. But I still needed storage for sun/glasses, Invisalign case/ phone/passport/CC wallet/lip balm/hand lotion. My ideal bag would be flat enough to slide in my carry-on luggage if needed.(airlines are getting strict about the1 carrry on and 1 personal item thing)When I opened my Amazon box I was surprised at the pretty color (midnight is a handsome blue with greenish tint) and it is indeed very slim. Bigger than I imagined but so well designed that it doesn't look bulky while wearing. Being able to lock the zipppers will be handy while moving through the airports or exploring towns. The slash resistant strap seems like it wouldn't slide of my shoulder if I want to wear it as a regular shoulder purse (my beloved Baggalini does). There are enough pockets but not too many to where I would forget what's where. And the nifty little light on a cord helps to see in your bag while in the dark (overnight in the plane!). So far I'm very much looking forward to using this cool and cute bag on our trip(s)

I had a different lighter-colored sling style last year and decided to replace it as things only fit one way. While this purse was a bit more expensive than I wanted to spend, I am really happy with it. It has quality travel safety features and multiple and different zippered and/or snapped pockets. They are thoughtfully sized and are perfect for my phone, a passport, a slim card wallet and small travel sized items for pills and sunscreen. I could also fit keys, sunglasses in a small case, and even my kindle in the largest pocket! The slim cross-body design fits closely and comfortably and is lightweight. I dont find the strap super comfortable but it is because of the safety stitching that is supposed to prevent it from being sliced.

I got this purse to use in Italy. I'd initially bought a larger one, which, when filled, was way too heavy. The larger bag itself was heavy and I overpacked it. Before going I tried out each bag for a week. The first one was uncomfortable just going to the grocery. (I put in it a pair of mini binoculars, a small camera, my wallet, my sunglasses, my checkbook, a small makeup bag with powder and lipstick and a coin purse and my smartphone). When I switched to this one, I could not fit the checkbook and sunglasses -- but realized I would not be bringing the checkbook overseas and so the newer size was fine -- without the checkbook, the sunglasses fit.I put the binoculars and the camera in the zipper part under the flap. I kept tissues in the visible zipper part (bathrooms don't always have them -- seemed more of a problem in Rome than in Venice...). I also put 3x5 cards with notes and folded pages of the Rick Steves travel guides in that front zippered area (and in Venice, the tickets we used for the boats). The back of the bag also has a zippered pocket that rests against the body -- good for the powder and lipgloss or sunscreen. The top zipper has a loop that holds a mini flashlight -- nice when returning to our room with the hall lights on a timer. The top zipper has a clasp that locks on to the side. I put my sunglasses, phone, wallet and our passports in this main compartment along with the change purse. There are slots for credit cards in the purse but I did not use them. I liked having the added protection of the wallet being at the bottom of the purse.A few caveats: My wallet is a mini one... it holds 3 cards and ID. The change purse I used was a bit larger and had 3 compartments (a kiss lock bag). I used one for coins, one for dollars and one for euros. The bulk of our money I kept in a hidden waist belt bag (which I never showed in public -- if I needed more, I would excuse myself to the restroom and would transfer money). I kept the credit cards in RFD sleeves and our 4 passports were kept together in an RFD bag. Before leaving I made sure to latch the bag. I always wore it as a cross body bag, not a shoulder bag (though it could be worn that way). It felt more secure, especially in places like the Trevi fountain where it is wall-to-wall people. When we would eat, I generally left the bag on me. FYI -- if you use a smart phone do not set it out on the table like we do in the US. LOTS of tourists shared that people in their tour groups were getting phones taken that way. My phone was either in the locked part of the bag or in my hand when I was using it for directions or Tripadvisor.Wearing it all day, it did feel heavy. That said, it also felt secure. The chocolate color, while not the prettiest, is nondescript which is really what you want when traveling. You don't want it to catch the eye of a pickpocket. It is also a gender neutral color and so my husband and sons did not mind carrying it if I was taking pictures. It more resembled a camera bag or messenger bag than a purse (and they certainly preferred carrying it to the bright pink tote I also had with me (tote was used ONLY for a scarf, an umbrella, any postcards or trinkets we would buy -- things that if taken could be replaced).

Perfect size for all my stuff. The fabric and strap are very durable. All the safety features are wonderful, locks for the zippers and the RFD protection are a plus. Love all the compartments and card slots. Very comfortable to wear, I do crossbody. It is slim and close to the body. I ordered the purple, it is very dark, when I opened it I thought it was black.
