I was a little worried about it being smaller than expected because of the previous review but it was the perfect size. It is a smaller purse but I prefer that especially for a purse I intend to use more when traveling. It's very cute and I like the added little security features.

UPDATE: After going on my European trip, I can report that this purse was what I needed! The crossbody strap and the locking zipper were perfect in the countries where pickpockets were all over the place. Never did I have to worry about my purse being picked (I still was vigilant about my surroundings at all times). I might've gotten the slightly bigger size, as this one "just" fit my needs, but the quality of the purse lived up to my expectations!--------------------------------------I got this purse for my upcoming international trip. I was attracted to the anti-theft zipper and the anti-slash strap as thereâs a lot of petty theft where we are traveling to. I thought initially he purse was going to be a bit small for what I needed. However, I was able to transfer all the contents of my purse into this little gem! Granted, I donât carry a lot to start with when Iâm traveling, so those who like to carry more than the essentials may find this purse to be too small for them (Travelon does sell a larger size). The strap feels sturdy and I was able to extend it to a crossbody-length strap and still have about 6-7â to spare on the length (Iâm 5â9â so I needed the extra length). The fabric feels solid and I like the pen light attached to the key lanyard inside. Nice little touch! The denim is stylish and doesnât look or feel cheap. I had another Travelon purse that Iâve used for travel since 2000. Iâm looking forward to this one lasting just as long.

Although this purse states itâs small in the description, itâs still bigger than I expected. I was expecting something the size of a larger wallet/clutch. Pros-It will fit a few phones and a wallet, it has a clip on inside to attach keys so theyâre easily found. It also washable. The Cons-I didnât like the strap, itâs material itâs made of looks like the belt found on menâs cargo pants. If wearing as a crossbody, I think the strap would rub against the neck and eventually cause discomfort.

Took this to Spain for spring break and used the locking zipper. Somehow the lock got caught up on the teeth of the zipper and I had to put a hole in the fabric to release it in order to open the purse. Also, there is something caught in between two of the fabrics in the front about an inch long that is imprinting on the outside fabric.

I like the size of the purse, but the strap only comes off on one side. Also, after having it for less than a week the strap that has the hook portion on it, the hook part fell off. So I had to go crawling around looking for the spring (while out of town so I couldn't change back to my other purse) so that I could possibly fix it later. I shouldn't have to worry about my purse falling apart since I have only had it for a week. And I was not in any way rough on this purse.

I purchased this for an international trip and love it. The fabric is durable and high quality. We are a family of 4 and all of our passports fit nicely inside. The rfid lining was great for protection. Several little pockets inside keep money, credit cards, and other papers separate. An adjustable strap made it easy to west cross body. Great find!

two things. First, there is flaw in the lining fabric in the inside pocket. Iâll attach a picture. How did that get past inspection? Iâm not sure if itâs worth hassling with sending it back. Two, the god awful ugly Travelon tag on the front of the bag. All that care to make it a nice retro style and then they slapped an ugly tag on it. If I keep this, Iâm taking it off.On the plus side, itâs lighter than I expected, well constructed, and a great small bag. I love the look of it. I checked all the attachments, hardware, and seams and it all looks good, which is why Iâm hesitant to exchange it. The price is good, so Iâm leaning toward just keeping it since no one but me will see the flawed fabric. Disappointed to receive a product that obviously was not checked after manufacturing, though.

Wore this bag while traveling in Europe and it was great! Both outside pockets fit our passports perfectly, and the locking zipper on top made me feel really secure. It's small, but it's great for essentials.. i had my phone in one outer pocket, wallet, meds like rolaids and tums [hey, its Italy.. you're ALWAYS eating], and our vouchers in there at all times, along with occasionally carrying our passports. The little flashlight inside made it great for nights when we were getting gelato or found a fun street vendor, I could see what money i was taking out without having to take out my whole wallet. Yes some nights it wasn't as fancy and pretty as I'd like, but it was very useful and that was most important. We've been home for some weeks now and I've still been using it!

Purse is slightly smaller than anticipated. Outside front pocket is a tight fit for cell phone.

Super cute purse, not just for traveling. Great size to fit the basics, and looks great with casual attire. The added security features are a bonus no matter where you go. For traveling, it is discreet rather than flashy and being able to wear it cross body means you can be more aware of it.

This small bag holds my slimline wallet, sunglasses in a soft, flat case, iPhone Xr, battery pack, keys, passport, and a few items such as pens, a small mirror, and dental floss. When filled, the purse still looks neat and compact, which is what I prefer since I'm quite short. I bought it to take with me to France. The canvas strap is thick, so it couldn't be cut or slashed easily, and the safety clip on it and on the main zipper for the purse seems sturdy and just finicky enough to stop (or slow down) someone who isn't familiar with it). I took off the Travelon label as it looked kind of tacky (and advertised that I'm traveling). Once the purse wears a bit, I'm hoping that the space where the label was won't be obvious at all. I'm happy with the purchase and look forward to using the purse.

All the features of the larger sized bags. Nice black and white striped lining. Easy to find stuff inside. Small size that I wanted to be able to not have to lug all the stuff in my big bag when I went out for dinner. Very pleased with this purchase.

This is my favorite purse of all time! I love that there are organizing feature but it isnât overly organized so you can do what you want with it. I can even put my iPad mini (which has a case on it) in it. I love that there are the security features. I use it for everyday and for traveling. Also the length of the crossbody strap is great since Iâve tried other crossbody bags and since I am heavier these other bags just didnât fit. I will definitely be getting again! I do wish there was a black version though.

The fabric and stitching are of good quality.The strap is ok- it's made from same fabric as the bag, but the one side attaching it to the bag has no hook, so the strap tangles VERY easily and needs to be constantly adjusted. Plus, the adjustment part of the strap is on the front of the bag if it's worn on the right side.The bag itself is made well and the size is perfect. Fits a book, phone, wallet, keys and a bit more. RFD pocket should be way larger though.

Purchased for a trip to France and found it perfect for exploring. The bag is very small, so not for someone looking to carry a water bottle or large tablet. It does hold a lot, I was able to carry my phone, camera, a small wallet, all my passes and metro cards, the purse has convenient internal pockets so everything I need was very accessible. When travelling at night or in high traffic tourist areas, the security features added more protection for my belongings. It was also light weight and was unobtrusive. It was an excellent purchase.

Really liked this bag, was well made and handy. The two things that were disappointing, which is that it was smaller than I thought (my own fault, should have payed more attention to the dimensions. Secondly, for crossovers, and for carrying for long periods of time the strap should be a little wider to spread out the weight on your shoulders.Overall great little purse, would just buy a little bigger purse for next time.

A very sturdy, well made travel bag. The holding capacity is not ample but is perfect for outings in the evening when one doesnât need to carry a lot of excess items. Wish the strap was a little wider, but am pleased with this bag overall.

I like the purse very much. The colour, size and texture of the material was what I was looking for in a purse. The safety features were an added bonus.I immediately removed the silver patch on the suede as it detracts from the purse in my opinion.

I was travelling through Europe and needed a purse that was lightweight and was able to prevent any attempts at pick pocketing. This bag was perfect. Just the right size for a wallet, phone, map and sunglasses. Multiple pockets, RFID blocker and cut proof straps. I don't know if anyone *tried* to pickpocket me while I was there, but nothing was stolen, and the bag gave me real peace of mind.

This is a great little bag! It's so much cuter than all the other travel bags I've seen. Lightweight, extremely sturdy and well made. It fits my extra large sized phone, a pair of glasses, and the other usual items needed in a bag. (Although my big sunglasses would be a tight squeeze).
