Review on Travelon Anti Theft Signature Slim Smoke by Rachel Riley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Outside pockets and straps are a terrible design for my right hander

It's a real shame because the inside is great and it's a cute bag. When I carry a bag on my right hip, I have to use my left hand to pull the zippers from back to front. As a right-hander, I find it difficult to use my left hand. With all the other bags I have, I unzip with my right hand when the bag is placed on the right thigh. And what's the point of having security zippers to the back? It seems much more reasonable that someone would have to hug me to get to the zippers. When carrying a bag on my left hip, I still have to use my left hand to open my bags. It's less cumbersome, but still cumbersome. At least zippers in the front. Unfortunately, the end of the strap with the clasp is pointing towards my back when worn this way. Again, how is it considered safe if it's easier for someone to undo the clasp from behind rather than being dragged around me? Above the non-closing strap is a small D-ring through which I now attach the clasp. It looks a bit odd wearing it like that, but at least everything is where I think it should be. I am upset that I was made to do this. If there was another bag with the desired layout, I would send it back immediately. Unfortunately, all Travelon bags seem to be designed this way. I'm moving to a town notorious for pickpockets, so maybe I'll keep it.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Sad hardware
