## Description

TIMELESS CLASSIC STYLE WITH EVERYDAY DEPENDABILITY — Classic is the original Travelon Anti-Theft collection that shaped the category. Loved for its reliability, sleek silhouettes, and smart design, these bags weather countless journeys while staying versatile enough for everyday life. Each bag carries more than your essentials — it carries 100% peace of mind

Review: Great travel purse - I really like this bag for travel. I mostly carry smaller purses (slightly bigger than a wallet) but for travel I also bring this bag for the days I want to carry my camera. It holds my prosumer DSLR style camera in its cover, plus the usual items, and organizes everything nicely. The side pocket for a water bottle definitely works for a normal sized bottle. The other side pocket with velcro flap is perfect for a travel size pack of tissues or such. Always need some tissues handy when traveling! It looks good enough to carry for most purposes and is durable enough to hold up for years. The zippers all have security buckles to help avoid pickpockets digging into your purse. It’s not 100% secure of course, but pickpockets typically rely on easy access, and the zipper buckles do stop any easy access. The shoulder strap can be used as a crossbody, and is super strong, will not cut or break easily.
Review: Nice bag, Well made - This bag worked great for travel to Europe. Have also been carrying day to day. Plenty of room for lots of items, with a nice selection of pockets. Only two downsides, it is a bit heavy (although I have to carry an epi pen) and the "water bottle" pouch does not fit mist water bottles.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the side pockets large enough to carry a collapsible umbrella in the pocket?**
A: I always do a little trick when an umbrella or water bottle has a loop on it. You slide the bottle or umbrella into the side pocket and then in this case you can unhook the crossbody strap Simply pull the crossbody strap through that umbrella loop and reattach. It's safe until you need that umbrella!

**Q: Is tis bag really 8" high and 10" wide?  It looks taller than it is wide.**
A: Thank you for your interest in this item. It is just the opposite. It is 10” high by 8” wide with a depth of 3.5.

**Q: Where is the bag made?**
A: Hello.  Travelon here.  Thank you for reaching out to us.  Our bags are made in China.  If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us again.

**Q: Does anyone else have trouble with the zipper on the main compartment? This is my second one and it catches every time I unzip it.**
A: No, have had no problems with it, neither has my sister who got the bag at the same time.  I presume no thread or anything is stuck in the zipper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second time buying this bag!
*by A***. on March 2, 2024*

I love this bag -- it's the second time I've bought it! Had an earlier model of the same bag that I used regularly for years, but had to retire it recently after two of the zippers finally gave out. There have been some changes and improvements to the current model being sold. 1) Magnet closure on side pocket replaced with Velcro closure. This is a good improvement as magnets have no place on handbags (and the earlier version erased my bus pass on one occasion). 2) Lobster-claw security clasps have been replaced with rectangular hinge clasps. This is a mixed change. The new clasps are easier to use, but may be slightly less secure. The new clasps are probably less likely to break, but due to how they are attached, they'd be harder to replace if they do break. 3) Two interior mesh pockets in main compartment have been removed. Generally this is a positive. The mesh tended to catch on things, and there are still two cloth pockets that hold my phone and glasses. This frees up more space in the main compartment. 4) A sturdy ribbon with clasp has been installed in the main compartment -- great for easily finding your keys. 5) Middle wallet compartment now has a interior zip pocket, similar to the larger one in the main compartment. This seems more secure and more functional than the earlier model's small open pocket. 6) Credit card slots have been moved to the other side of the middle wallet compartment, outside of the cash pocket. This works fine. 7) Cash pocket is slightly smaller than the one on the earlier model. Works OK for dollars, but might be harder for some foreign currencies or placing a bank envelope. 8) Gusset added to wallet compartment. This makes it easier to open this compartment and access your items. 9) All three zippers seem to have been upgraded to stronger, sturdier ones. Bodes well for preventing the main reason I had to give up my earlier bag! If I could make one suggestion for improving this bag, it would be to re-think the side pockets. The one with the Velcro closure is really too small for securely holding a phone, and the zippered one on the other side, allegedly for holding a water bottle, is really not functional for holding anything other than a mini water bottle, which most people don't bother to use or carry in a bag. I think it's OK to have at least one side pocket for holding small items you want to access quickly, but I think an open envelope pocket on the back side of the bag, for holding papers or realistically stashing a phone, would be more useful. Although I've made a lot of critiques here, I have to say that I love this bag and do highly recommend it. I originally bought it before travelling abroad, but ended up using it as an "every day" bag. The security features help me feel more protected wherever I go, and it's just the right size for holding the things I need to have with me. I look forward to more years of using this bag!
