Review on πŸ‘œ Travelpro Luggage Platinum Women's Crossbody: Versatile Handbags & Wallets for Chic Travelers by Larry Cole

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Light as a feather and strong as a tank

I definitely find this bag very useful for frequent travellers. Nylon construction feels like Godzilla couldn't rip it apart, INCREDIBLY durable. I haven't tested it by intentionally trying to pierce or cut it, but it seems super strong to me. Nylon is also very flexible! Doesn't stretch, but you can fold/roll/compress it into a very small shape when empty. It's also great for travel; You can fold up a lot more carry-on luggage and "personal items" with this small bag and put it in a small bag to use when you arrive at your destination. The inner segments and pockets are also made of nylon, while the small top plate and strap are made of a thicker and more durable material (leather?). The nylon also makes it EXTREMELY light! Even when I fill it with my going-out essentials (phone, keys, ID, money, cosmetics, meds), it's so light that I'm constantly paranoid about forgetting something. And because of its lightness, it can slip off your shoulder unnoticed. If one side of the strap was rougher the woven texture would actually help hold it in place so this would be a great upgrade for future design! I give it 4 stars for its target audience: experienced frequent travellers. who needs something small, light, practical and indestructible. For myself I would rate it more like a 2. It's plain and ugly, although I can (and will) spice it up with some cool patches. It's an odd size for me: too small for my everyday stuff, doesn't fit my wallet at all, but even without a thick wallet, I can barely fit all my meds, lip balms, mini notebooks, mints, etc. On the downside, it's a bit big for what I call a "bar bag" (which holds ID/money/phone/lip gloss) and looks a little bulky with most "outdoor" outfits. And I found that while the card-sized inner pockets fit my ID and credit cards, they're actually TOO narrow and very uncomfortable to reach! It won't be quick! Other pockets/sections are too loose and easily lost except for the perfect zipped pocket. My final issue with the belt: I wish it was a little longer, had a slide adjustment instead of a buckle, and was structured on one side to hold it over the shoulder. But I don't think I'm the best. the target market for this bag and it really is perfect for a lot of things I don't normally do. So I give 4 stars for real people who need such bag.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Makes me angry
