Review on 👜 Secure Your Essentials on-the-go with Travelon Anti Theft Active Women's Crossbody Messenger Bags & Wallets by Brooke Parker

After trying several Travelon bags (just the brand I use) the third time was delightful. Love this bag - roomy enough for everything I need to take with me and a few extras. Previous bags were too small, lacked storage/organization space so I was kept to a minimum and couldn't even keep my receipts in my purse. This case has plenty of room for a wallet, keys, cell phone (I keep mine in a HUGE zipped pocket on the back so I know if it's vibrating in a noisy public place), cards, nail clippers, etc. In its case, even Space for my Kindle Fire 8! The strap is long enough to be worn over the shoulder or shortened and is comparable in materials and finish to other Travelon bags. I really like zippers! That's why I won't use any other bag. I like that I can slide the bag back and not have to worry about someone getting in. I also really appreciate that it's worth it. I need to be able to put my bag on the counter to get my wallet etc. My previous Travelon bag was a bucket/tramp bag that tipped over and became so annoying I had to look for a different style. I really like that it lies flat against the body and doesn't stick out like a lot of pockets, which is very important when maneuvering in narrow aisles with lots of shops where the purse can knock things over. The only real downside is that the size of the zippered "water bottle" compartment is too small for all water bottles I'm aware of, so I use that space for my sunglasses instead. I wish the internal compartments were upside down, ie the one on the opposite side, as that's the position in pretty much every other Travelon bag I've looked at, but it's a small point that I tend to dig into trying to get used to it.Overall I LOVE this bag!I'm so glad I have it One thing I've learned is to pay attention to size or you might end up with a bag that's smaller or bigger than you intended. It's just perfect for me the bag quickly looks frayed. If only Travelon had used a slightly higher quality material this could have been avoided. Oh, the bag is starting to look like a used thing pretty quickly. I've tried hiding it with a black marker but it still looks very gaudy and makes the bag cheaper.
