    • Light and sleek, but strong. Secure, slim, good looking, lots of pockets!
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Black
Sleek and good looking, seems secure and strong so far. Narrow and deep, but that’s good since it’s harder to pickpocket. Light and easy to carry. Water bottle holders seem quite small at first, but they actually unzip to fit two small bottles. This clever design keeps the purse slim and nice looking. Seems like it could be waterproof and easy to spot clean too. Very pleased, may get in more colors for additional travelers! ... show more

Great purse love the extra protection for cards. Both the color and size is perfect. Can adjust the strap zipper closures lock so that is just to help. Ensure your items remain safe. Material is great and it is perfect to carry.

    • Compact yet spacious travel purse
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Black
Review Image by Milena Milena
Love this purse. At first I thought it was too small, but like a TARDIS it is bigger on the inside. There are two side bottle pockets and at first I thought they were too small, but they fit my Owala bottle perfectly with a snug and secure fit. All of the zippers have a little clip for a loop that keeps closed zippers securely closed. The material is thick and sturdy, while still being lightweight. It fits everything I need for walking around all day. Sits comfortably on my shoulder or as a crossbody. ... show more

    • Well made! Highly recommend!
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Black
It's a sturdy, deep bag. There were some reviews mentioning how it was hard to fit a water bottle on the side pocket. I am able to fit a standard 16 oz plastic water bottle. It does, however, require a little finagling to get in though. Other than that, I do love the roominess and the pockets in the inside. There is also a good size pocket in the front and a back wallet pocket. Both the front, back and main zippers have the ability to latch/lock, which is a nice feature as well. The purse overall seems to be well made too. It is a bit heavy, but I think it's due to the wire strap and the material in general is fairly thick. I am glad I purchased this and would recommend it to others who are looking for a deep purse that holds a lot. ... show more

    • Great travel and everyday bag.
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Nutmeg
I travelled in Europe with this bag and felt safe knowing the contents of my bag were secure. I loved all the locking clips and I could unhook the strap and hook it to a chair. The long strap allowed me to carry it like a crossbody. I also liked the side pockets. It fit a slim water bottle and I could easily stick my sunglasses in the side pockets. I continue to use it in my everyday life. ... show more

    • Roomy but the strap starts to hurt after a few hours
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Black
I purchased two bags for our 5 day trip to Washington, D.C - one for Mom & one for me. I was very excited to try it out after reading the reviews. We both used our bags for a week prior to the trip, to get use to them and do any adjustments that were needed. The most I wore mine at one time was for an hour and it felt fine. For the plane trip to DC (almost 9 hours from start to finish) the bag was great. It fit my wallet, kindle, and other odds and ends. I was amazed at how roomy it really is and how much could really fit inside it. The next 4 days went fast, we were with a school tour - we started our day on the bus at 7:45 am and ended at 10:00 pm. The first day I took everything out of the bag that I wouldn't need...so I only had my wallet, a small digital camera, chap stick and a 20 oz. bottle of water. Really not much at all. My mom did the same. After the first 4 hours of walking, the bag started to feel like a brick and was cutting into the top of my shoulder. I started to switch the bag from one side to the other. I noticed my mother was having the same problem. We ditched our water bottles on the tour bus and had lunch. At the end of the next 6 hours, I had both my mother's bag and mine. I was wearing one on each shoulder crisscrossing over me. The straps were very uncomfortable and cutting into my shoulders. By the end of the first day,14 hours later, I had pulled both straps over my shoulders so that the straps were about halfway between my shoulder and elbow. That was the only way I could carry them. Putting them up on my shoulders was way to painful. That day we walked a total of 10 miles. The next 2 days I switched it all to a backpack - I had everything that was in my bag and moms plus the two 20 oz. waters and did just fine. We walked 10 to 15 miles each day. On the last day my mom and I switched back to the bag. The first 8 hours of touring and then to the plane ride home. We took our bags with us ONLY when we had to other wise we left them on the tour bus and carried our wallets and cameras. This worked but seamed to be a waste of the reason we got the bags to begin with. 4 years ago I carried my purse through Disneyland for 5 full days from 9 am to 10 pm. I carried my purse with all sorts of STUFF. I carried it over my shoulder and across my. I NEVER had this much shoulder pain. So I know it has to be the bag. My mother has gone back to using the bag for short runs to the store ( where she will not carry it for very long) and she is going to get a cushion shoulder strap to help as she can not return hers. I am going to try to return mine. I will never use it for another trip. I gave it a 3 because I love the anti-theft idea and the fact that you can't scan any cards through the bag. It is also a great bag if you do not intend to wear it for a long extended time. I will look for a travel backpack with the same features as I am sure that will be a lot more comfortable. ... show more

    • Great purse!
Size: 9" x 12.5" x 3.5" Center Height:9.5" Color: Black
I love this purse! It has great features, it's stylish and versatile. Wonderful value for your money. It has a pocket on each side that unzips to hold a water bottle on each side, it's mesh so take care what you put into it other than a water bottle, keys etc can rip the mesh. When we go on the motorcycle, its great to take with us quickly and easily. I didn't have to worry about the strap breaking because it has wire in the strap so won't easily break. There is a key clasp built in, it holds my aldi quarter holder so I always have a quarter within reach. Didn't get me started on all the other great security features like the slash resistance, water proof, thick material, locking compartments, RFID blocking on some pockets. I bought one of these purses at least 2 or 3 years ago, and I love it, it hasn't fell apart yet but I anticipate some day it might so I purchased this back up, I don't want to use any other purse after using this purse. ... show more

FANTASTIC QUALITY, great for city/travel/tight or busy locals/daily use and theft deterrence. Love that it not only keeps pick pockets away, but also people trying to scan or clone devices.
