Travelon Anti-Theft Courier Saddle Crossbody

I receive many complements on this bag. It was small but fit all my essentials. I have used it beyond my trip.

My first smaller size bag and I love it. It's well made and great color. I was surprised that I could fit a small wallet, checkbook, compact, kleenex, lip gloss, inhaler, cough drops, small flashlight. There is a nice size pocket on the back I use for masks and cell phone. The strap is highly adjustable and very well made. Never thought I could adjust to a all bag but this one is perfect. The usual excellent Travelon hardware.

Great size for day travel, trip excursions and shopping.Enough room for small wallet, sunglasses and phone.

TL:DRThis purse is super cute and preppy looking. The fabric however is canvas and when I took it out of the poly bag it instantly attracted 2 cat hairs from the ether which I promptly plucked off. I am on the fence about keeping this and I'm definitely not taking it on my upcoming trip to Portugal and Spain (Barcelona! Ack! Pickpockets!!) because it's teeny. It's currently back in it's poly bag with the tags waiting for when I get home and can decide.ConsThe fabric is a cotton canvas. I doubt it's as waterproof as the Travelon nylon bags. I'm not testing it because I may return it. For some reason I thought it would be more nylon-like. And as I mentioned the fabric welcomes fur with open arms. Take note, pet owners.It's so small. Shame on me for not getting a ruler out before ordering and understanding it in person. They give the dimensions and it's up to us consumers to vet these things. But what is so misleading and another reviewer mentioned, is it looks so much bigger in the picture with the lady. They picked a 95 pound 4'11" model to photograph the bag with. (Ok, I don't know this for sure, but it sure seems that way.) For me when I travel to places, I'm out all day. I may need to stuff a jacket in my bag or a sweater. You definitely can't put either in there. It would fit some standard purse essentials and that's about it. A guidebook, tablet (Fire, iPad, etc.) or water bottle probably wouldn't fit and definitely not a spare layer for evening. It's a cute purse for going to dinner, but not for touring all day.The interior organization is weird. There are two interior zipped pockets which is great! But there is this funny flap-like open pocket across one of them. It is floppy too. Like no organization for cards or anything there and I feel like stuff would get stuck in it and it would just get in the way when you want to put things into the main interior space of the bag because it doesn't lay flat against the side of the interior.I don't think it has those metal cables in the strap... I think it's advertised as "slash resistant," but it appears just to be thick cotton/poly webbing. I may be wrong, but I'm not going to cut the strap to find out for sure.ProsCute as a button. The saddle bag is a classic look and the navy and brown leather trim are so nice. It's a lovely-to-look-at bag.The slip pocket on the back/exterior is great for your phone or bus pass (when you are not around pickpockets.)TWO! interior zip pockets. This is great for sketchy travel destinations. You not only can have valuables in your locked zipper main compartment but behind yet another "door" of an interior zippered pocket! No one is getting their hands in there without you knowing. Perfect to put your money, cards and passport. Just don't purse snatched.ConclusionI'm probably returning this one. I don't want to have to lint roll my purse every time I leave the house. Seems weird. I also own A LOT of purses. Including a tan leather saddle bag about the same size. Do I really need one more?Anyhow I ordered a bigger, nylon Travelon bag for my trip that I will use. And when I get back we shall see.

I took this purse on a two week trip abroad and it worked and looked great. It was light weight, cute and had several zippers on the inside. The main zipper could be locked and strap was cut proof. These features gave me piece of mind while out and about.

This was a perfect travel purse - I bought it specifically for a trip to Rio, but I didn't get mugged, so I can't comment on whether or not it is truly slashproof. That being said, it has 2 inner zippered pockets where you can stash your passport and money, as well as a smaller pocket for your phone, so even if someone slashed the bottom of the bag nothing would really fall out. It is smaller than the average purse but I could fit my iphone, sunglasses, and a disposable camera without any difficulty. The above items filled it up, but that's overall a great travel size.

This is the perfect size purse for me! I don’t cram a lot of things into my purse, so this is just right. I did have to invest in a smaller wallet, but that wasn’t a big deal. I used some Scotch-guard on my purse to help prevent stains. I would highly recommend this purse. If there are other colors or designs by this brand, I will definitely get another bag!

I bought this to take on a trip this summer so I thought I’d use it a few times to get used to it. It broke after 3 uses!! And now I’m 3 days past the return window and stuck with this broken purse! I wanted to love it. The rfid blocking was great, but the parts are flimsy. As you can see in the photo the part to connect the strap to the purse is very thin so the material may be anti-slash…but the metal prices will simply break apart.I cannot recommend it because it will break right after it’s too late to return.
