baggallini Women's Securtex Anti-Theft Activity Small Crossbody Bag - Portobello

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this bag for travel. It is the perfect size to carry essentials such as I.D. card, credit cards, passport and phone. Love the anti-theft security.

It's exactly what I was looking for. Large enough for my phone to fit without it partially hanging out. Love the pockets

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one can be very discreet under a jacket or shirt. Can also be worn on the outside and in front without having to worry about security.

This is a great travel bag that I carried with me on a trip to Spain. It fit under my jacket without feeling bulky. Nice adjustable straps, good number of pockets, and holds just enough to get through a day of sightseeing without tempting me to carry too much extra weight. I especially love that the zipper to the main compartment has an easy locking feature on it. Highly recommend!

I just returned from a 16-day trip to Italy. I used this bag in conjunction with the Secure-Tex Vacation backpack and also by itself and found it highly functional 24/7 for my trip. I purchased the Vacation backpack because I needed an anti-theft day-long bag to hold water bottle, jacket, camera, sunblock, umbrella, maps, etc. That backpack has a GREAT feature whereby money, passport, and other important materials can be placed in a back compartment that sits right up against your back. But, I know from prior experience traveling with (non-Baggallini) backpacks that I hate having to put the pack on and off constantly to access phone, credit card, paper/pencil etc. So, I tried a new strategy: using the Vacation backpack in conjunction with the Activity Crossbody bag so that I could carry everything I needed for the day while also having ready access to the things I needed frequently. Yes, the bag is small/compact, but that's exactly why I liked it -- I never felt like I was carrying two bags! Then, in the evening, when I went for dinner, it was a small unobtrusive purse that carried what I needed. See pictures for how I used this bag. I kept a small notepad in the front slip pocket and a pen in the rear slip pocket. In the front zippered compartment, I kept a small change purse with coins for the public toilets. In the main compartment, I kept my credit card and room key, a chap stick, and my phone. (BTW, the front zippered compartment isn't doesn't have an anti-theft clip, but you can easily attach the pull to the pull with the clip and both compartments are anti-theft. There's also room for your passport, but I kept that -- and an extra credit card and cash in the rear compartment of the Vacation backpack. It's true that it would be nice if the bag had a bit more depth, but it worked great given that the backpack could take all the overflow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my small, crossbody Securtex bag and I am pleased. It seems well built and has very well thought-out pockets. It can carry my keys, phone, sunglasses, license and credits cards. The strap is substantial, comfortable and does not hurt my shoulder. We are leaving on an international trip and appreciate the added security features - slash proof and the information protection features. I will certainly be buying another bag - probably a Securtex backpack. I would have given it a 5 star rating but have only had it a short time so I cannot judge its wearability over time.

I purchased this bag for an upcoming trip to Italy. I have several Baggalini purses that I love! Great color and well made but WAY TOO SMALL for anything that isn’t flat—just fits money, cards, passport—no sunglasses or phone. Too narrow with no side guide gusset for expansion. So for me it was useless.
