Perfect size
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018
I travel for work and need a smaller travel purse to get through the airports. I like to stuff it into my backpack to get through security. My normal purse is more like a Mary Poppins bag in that I have a little bit of everything in there to be prepared for all occasions. So it is hard for me to pare down what I normally have with me and still have certain things on hand. I have another small Travelon bag, but it was just a little bit too small. So I scoured the Internet and came across this bag. This one was only a little bit bigger than my other one but has several more pockets. I was able to hold my kindle (which was a great feature my other bag didn't have), a travel wallet, travel pill case, travel hairbrush, sunglasses, keys, hand sanitizer, a few personal hygiene products, a travel pack of facial tissues, a pack of gum, and my phone. It had enough pockets and room to comfortably accommodate all of that. The only thing I don't love, but not enough to reduce by a star, is that the strap only swivels on one end. The other end is connected to the bag so it ends up getting twisted easily. The other features of this bag definitely make up for that, but I wish it swiveled on both ends like my other Travelon bag does. I would still highly recommend this bag and would purchase again.
Good Travel Bag, But Small

If you are looking for a small travel bag, this may be a good option for you. It has more character than a lot of the Travelon anti-theft travel bags. The liner is a bright teal color. The interior light on the key holder is nice and bright. The fabric feels like the fabric you'd expect on a toiletries bag. It seems like it would work well in terms of water resistance and that it would stand up to use. Zippers are smooth -- no catching -- and they latch into metal loops to help prevent theft. The adjustable buckle hit right at my clavicle when adjusted to the right length for me (I am 5'5"), which made it very uncomfortable to wear. This bag was a bit too small for me for travel purposes -- I couldn't fit what I needed into it -- but if you are looking for a small bag, it seemed nice enough.FYI, the seller does not offer free returns, and there are no low-cost shipping options, so if you purchase it and it doesn't work (if, like for me, it is painful to wear with the buckle hitting you right at the collar), expect to lose some of your money in the return to ship it back.
Love Travelon Bags

Very happy with this bag. I have a bag I wear for summer but wanted slightly bigger to out my winter gloves inside without going to a full size bag. Very happy. Organizes well, have plenty of room. Only negative is the zipper loops are right at the end of the zipper. This means you canât pull the zipper all the way and use the locking loop. It needs to be open 1/2 inch to allow the hook to catch the loop. All my other Travelon bags the loop was placed slightly diagonal and to the side of the zipper so this didnât happen. Doesnât compromise the safety but I want perfection so it is slightly annoying.

I really like this crossbody. It is not heavy and holds quite a bit. I saw the measurements and what I liked was that it was 3 inches wide. The purse size is good but without the depth you really can't fit much. I was able to put in a pair of readers, sunglasses and a small makeup bag inside one of the zippers. The other large zipper I used for my wallet, credit cards and passport. The small zipper area is used for my phone so I can grab this quick without opening up the wallet area because I use my phone a lot when traveling for the GPS. It looks nice. A clean, polished look for casual and dress and the strap is sturdy. Glad I bought this one.
Best small-ish purse I've tried

Great size! I have some mini purses for when I want to carry just a credit card and some cash and a lip sunscreen, but if I want to carry regular glasses, sunglasses, travel size tissues, wet wipes for my hands, a tiny paper notepad, pen, and, well you get the idea. When I want to carry all that (without dragging out a big tote), then this purse is the winner.Great organizing feature: I love having three zippered "main" compartments. For example: if I want to get to my tissues, I don't have to show the world my billfold, which is in a different compartment. Plus: all three zippers have the ability to be tethered to a small brass ring. Excellent feature.Bonus: I can carry my Asus zen pad in a zippered compartment. I used to have to carry a separate purse-like carrier for it. (It is 8" x 5 1/2", and about 1/2" thick)I recently used this purse on vacation, and never wished that I was using a bigger purse. Love it!
Recommend 100%

I literally love this bag!!! I think itâs totally worth every penny. If only high end fashion designers can think of multi function just like this. Lol. Security and peace of mind at the same time. Literally went to New York jn the pouring rain and I didnât have to think of my bag getting ruined at all!!!!! Didnât even have to worry anyone someone jacking anything from it because of the fact that I canât lock it into place with the hooks. This is the smartest bag ever. The only thing is the slots for the cards are kind of whack. Itâs a little hard to grab my cards. But the fact that it has a spot for my passport is so clutch! I actually brought my passport on this trip thinking I needed it for something so that was so great to have a spot for it to put it in. The fact that it has separate spots is so great too just so I have access to different things quickly. I put my makeup in the front, important things in the middle, then my chargers and cameras in the back section because I barley reached for the charger. So since it was the closest to me I barley opened it. The otter most pockets like my makeup I opened a lot and since it was smaller, it was easier to open. Whoever designed this bag is so smart, A++++, 100%!!! Definitely would travel with this bag next time!
