Anti-theft Classic Essential Messenger Bag, Nutmeg

Bought this bag for a trip to Europe. Loved the pockets, handle, fabric and security features. However, 5 days into my trip the front pocket zipper came off track and therefore would not stay closed. This made the front pocket useless. Very disappointing. Tried to fix, but the track of the zipper with the issue was located under end seam and I would have had to take out stitches to get to it.

I ordered my Travelon purse less than one month ago and now it is unwearable. I was putting it around my neck and OUCH something scratched me!!! I carefully took it off and examined the strap and noticed a minuscule piece of metal sticking out of the fabric.

Took this on a trip to Israel. Does what it claims, and it put my mind at rest and my hands free. Usually when Im walking through the market/suk, I have to keep one hand on my bag zipper, but with the locking zippers and RFID shielded compartment, I didnt have to worry. The metal insert in the strap gave me peace of mind.

I bought this purse last-minute for a trip overseas. I wanted something not too big, but not so small that I couldnt carry a water bottle in it. Also, I wanted something that would look nice enough to be taken to a nice restaurant without obviously looking like a travel purse. I really liked the security features, especially the locking outer zippered compartments, as I was going through heavily populated areas known for pick-pockets. The internal zippered compartments and pockets were also really handy. I have had a number of travel purses over the years, and this one is my favorite by far.

I bought this for an extended (4 months) trip to Europe. It held up beautifully. It was just the right size to carry all I needed for a day, and I could even stash my tablet in the back pocket.

Just the right size to hold essentials but not overburden you. Great safety features to ease your mind while traveling

The cost may be low, but it is not worth the hassle. I purchased this for a trip to Italy and within 24 hours it was unusable. The entire top portion of the liner disconnected. By the time I came back to the states I could no longer return the item :( I have purchased other bags from this line before and they have all been great, so Im guessing this one was defective :( Be aware that the bag is a bit on the heavy side with the rigging, etc...

After reading about all of the problems with pickpockets in Paris, I knew I had to take a safe purse. I was travelling alone with my 16 year old daughter and felt a little more vulnerable anyway. I am very glad I had this purse because it provided me peace of mind. Thank goodness I didnt have to test its safety features although I did see the pickpockets. This was the perfect size for me because I dont like really big purses and Ive had shoulder surgery so I use cross-body bags. I carried our two passports, our money (I kept the coins in the outer pocket and the bills in the compartment inside the main part), a pocket camera, a pair of sunglasses and a pair of regular glasses in a case, two cell phones, a pen and small pad of paper, a couple of maps/brochures folded in half. I still had a little more room. I could put a bottle of water in there but with my other stuff I couldnt really zip it all the way closed so I didnt really do that. This purse was well worth the purchase. I looked at every one I could find and Im so glad I got this one because it was perfect.

I bought this as a travel bag but wound up using it everyday. Fits so much! Great compartments, sturdy, fantastic purchase.

Handbag is well made and has good safety features. For travel, I wear it cross body and it is easy to retrieve papers and cash. My only complaint is I wish that the main zipper area was a bit wider.
