Review on 👜 Pacsafe Citysafe Cs100 Women's Handbags & Wallets in Black by Tracy Erickson

Pros: Good size, well sized pockets and well placed for organization. I had a slim glasses case, a compact camera, an extra battery, a small tin of breath mints, a compact sanitizer gel, a 1 ounce bottle of lotion, an iPhone, lipstick, eye makeup, keys, brochures and more cards. I liked the bright interior, easy to find the right things. Never get stolen from your pocket when traveling on public transport or in crowded places like local attractions or parades. Love that the outside pocket is secure yet easy to access without having to fiddle with clips and locks. External pockets are good for small, unimportant items like a compact water bottle. Of course I love the mesh idea and the tape running through the strap really prevents cuts and slippage. Quality is above everything. Cons: Not very stylish, but adequate. Depending on the setting or event you're attending, you might feel like a grandma with a handy handbag. I'm not sure if RFID is as secure as they say, when I put my phone in it was still ringing. Couldn't find any more information on testing RFID security. I didn't like the zipper, I found it quite large and chunky for the size of my wallet, but at the same time I can't complain that it's not strong. In addition, the zipper is bidirectional, it can be closed in both directions. I'm not sure why they did it when the mounting method is only on one side. I found no practical use for a two-way zip on such a small bag, and because of the two-way zip I had to zip the wrong way to secure the bag. I don't like the zipper on this bag. Very difficult to use. My other other bag is much lighter. I can remove the clip from the placement strip (so the clip doesn't dangle like it used to) and easily snap the zipper into place. It was still very secure and difficult for a thief to tamper with. With this bag I couldn't remove the latch from the tape to place it and I really had to manipulate it which made you look really silly fumbling with it in line and drew a lot of attention instead of being stealthy and unobtrusive to be. I have no idea how someone with arthritis can handle that. At least they have hope for my other but older model Pacsafe Bag which unfortunately has been discontinued. I have no idea why as this model was very stylish. Overall I like the bag but I won't use it often unless I'm traveling as it's not very stylish. I use my other PacSafe bag quite often for city trips. Unfortunately, this bag is not as big as this one. I bought this bag for a trip.
