Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag, Black, 8.5" x 8.5" x 2.25", Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag

I bought this to feel more secure when travelling but also with the intention of using it daily around my local shops just for ease of use. In the main I tend to prefer these smaller cross body bags as they can hold cards, small purses with cash/coins and other things like small hand sanitiser, tissues, tiny packable carry bag that I can open up when I pick up few items at shops or to carry a cardigan or light jacket on a variable warm/cool day. Right now I have those items in this Travelon bag as well as a packet of paracetamol, make up compact, lipstick/chapstick, chewing gum, keys, wipes for my glasses. It still feels light to carry all this and there seems room to comfortably fit more flat things like passport, tickets etc. There are 3 extra pockets outside where you can have easy access to things and one is a deeper pocket with the locking system - holds loads of stuff. These features are great and the rfid lining a bonus. I've been using it daily for local activities for abput a week (not travel) and have had no problems with zips or locks. Having read some reviews reporting some trouble with these things breaking has made me take extra care not to yank or struggle with the zips and I'm not pulling hard at the magnetic button on outside flap. The slash proof fabric and straps feel like good quality, bag does not look cheap or stiff, looks like any other handbag. I was disappointed to discover that I could not register the product from outside the US (in the UK). A tag on the bag invited me to do so but wouldn't accept my UK post code. I emailed them and got a reply saying it wasn't possible. This means if the zip or other features break after my Amazon return policy then I won't be able to get a refund as I would through a normal warranty. Hoping this won't be an issue.

I really like this bag. Excellent product and communication. Plenty of spacious pockets to hold what you need when travelling, made of material that does not cut and zips have safety attachments for peace of mind. Not too bulky. I did return however as I actually wanted a cross the body bag and this is just a shoulder bag which doesn't extend.

Just got this, arrived on time. Seems exactly what I want. Wanted something small which would carry all essentials and still be light, and anti-theft. Doesn't feel too heavy, and can carry all my essentials.Have got travel card, small note wallet and small purse, phone, kindle, pen, small notebook. Still has room for more but may then be too heavy or bulging. Will be using it for every day, and when travelling.Can lock zips for safety, and has a decent length of strap, which goes across my body over a coat. Seems quite sturdy and hopefully anti-theft! Feels quite comfortable. Bought the olive green, which has an orange-pink lining, so easy to find things inside. has several pockets inside, and has 3 other outside compartments, one of which takes 2 small purses and another has my phone. Also has small flashlight attached to inside bag, which works!

I bought this for travel to Europe and was worried about pickpockets.The bag is a good size and easily holds passport, documents and travel essentials. I got extra clips to secure the zips as only one zip had a clip to secure.The bag is strong and well made.Only grump is that the shoulder strap is hard and uncomfortable when wearing light clothing.

This is a great little bag with enough pockets to hold a remarkable amount of stuff. The black version passes as an acceptable manbag and the locking clasps on the zips are fiddly enough that I felt confident that it would dissuade most pickpockets from trying. The bag is still vulnerable to being snatched off your shoulder, but you can actually use the locking clasp to attach it to a trouser belt loop if you're that concerned. However, that's less likely anyway given the anti-slash protection.I spent a week with this in March in Barcelona (pickpocket capital of the world, supposedly) and as far as I'm aware nobody even tried. I paired this with my walking trousers that have zippable pockets as this provided quicker access to my phone and small change. The card holders in the bag can eliminate the need for a wallet, mine spent the whole week in the hotel room safe. I also had two small cameras, the rest of my cash, Metro passes and lots of misc leaflets and other stuff you pick up while touristing. When we needed bigger low-value items (e.g. coats, water etc), these went in a rucksack. The bag is not cheap but it bought me peace of mind and was actually more useful than my other satchel bag.

Like the quality, the security measures and it looks good.

Really good plain looking handbag. Plenty of organisation and good to have the added security features.

Very compact and easy to organise, making it perfect for travel. The security features are great, but the cable inside the strap pokes out and scratches me (really not ideal when out walking and there's nothing you can do - it even drew blood!) so that's been a big let down, as it's not a cheap item.
