Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Essential Messenger Bag, Black

Went on across Europe tour, was recommended by a friend, love this bag!! Not too big, not too small! Was able to carry all my necessities plus souvenirs. It felt light weight and very secure.We went to pick pocket capitals and never felt like anyone would be able to tamper with it.It’s stylish and now my new go to cross body!

Love the purple color, it so awesome. I wanted something that my small grandkids could spot and know it was me.Just the right size for a few days out of town.Also the RFID blocking is a plus.The shoulder length adjustment is just right for someone under 5 feet.

I bought 3 other Travelon bags for my trip to Europe and returned them all for a refund because they were too small. I couldn't fit my wallet, phone, a small umbrella, my prescription sunglasses, kleenex, chapstick and a few other minor items in the other Travelon bags I returned. What I like about the Essential Messenger Bag is that is can hold all the items I just listed and is not large or bulky. What I don't like about it is what many have said, which is the narrowness of the opening of the bag. Its very awkward, tight and small. I wish they increased the width of the bag by an inch and widened the opening of this bag by an inch. Despite its flaws, I am keeping this bag. This is the third Travelon bag I've bought and kept. The first one I bought is my favorite, which I bought in 2017 and Travelon no longer makes. It was horizontal in its configuration, is 8 inches tall, 12 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep and holds a ton of stuff, including my Kindle, phone, wallet, 2 pairs of glasses, cash, pens, and a bunch of other stuff yet isn't bulky. If I could find that bag from 2017, I'd buy 3 of them.

It’s a very good sized bag which many pockets. Strap can be adjusted. Easy to clean and machine washable.

This bag sits tight to the body, has a front, back and main compartment to keep everything from a phone or camera to credit cards, cash and a spare light sweater or jacket if they can fold up small. Let’s face it, you don’t need to carry every single thing that you own when you go out for a day in a new city. What do you want is to have your phone, cash and credit cards secure. You can lock the zipper on the top and front pockets. The back pocket will be against your body. This is an absolutely perfect day purse to wear over one shoulder and have it rest against the other hip. I think it’s a great investment and I’m glad I purchased it.

LOVE this purse! I need a travel purse that was thin enough to pack on during the plane flight but held enough stuff when used for daily excursions. This one fits the bill! I can hold my beanie and gloves, a water bottle, a notebook, my wallet and phone. It's high quality material with metal throughout the bottom and handles to ward off pursecutters. There are clips at the zippers that ward off pickpockets and can be clipped and unclipped quickly and smoothly.I typically wear this across my body under my coat. I wear a lot of natural colors so this beigey-gray-brown blended nicely with every outfit.

Really like the different compartments and it is well made!

I love this purse. Very deep, lots of pockets, comfortable. It's now fav everyday purse.Edit: one major drawback: not waterproof at all. Everything got wet quickly
