The hidden caribeener allows you to secure your bag to a post or chair to prevent passersby from a grab and go. Two zippered expansion pockets hold glasses, a camera, or water bottles.

Review: Sturdy - Well-made. Lots of security options. Not the most stylish option, but definitely the most sturdy and secure. Plenty of storage compartments and places to keep your travel items. Highly recommend for travelers who need that extra sense of security.
Review: A great organizing bag - I bought this for a trip to Europe where I was visiting a number of countries. Also, since I was flying with Ryanair at times, I needed a bag that fit their handbag/small purse requirements. This Travelon bag was almost the right size, cloth so it was 'squash able' if needed. It is a full year since I purchased the bag and I have used it continuously, much to my own surprise. I like: 1. the clips for keys... I got into the habit of clipping my keys to the bag and it has been wonderful. No searching for keys. Handy when parking, running to stores and back. The only downside is when one needs to move quietly. Then the keys need to go inside the bag. Other items could also be clipped to the bag. For instance, I clip my earbud container to the bag when on the road. 2. The zipped pocket at the back where credit cards can be stored. Plenty of room for cards, money and loose change. 3. Front flap pocket - great for carrying easily accessible extras. I am lactose intolerant and can carry digestive tablets there. I also carried my folded ticket printouts or passport there when traveling. 4. The main compartment has loads of room, handy pockets for phones, tissues etc. I even fit my iPad (2) in there when I need to. Also had plenty of room for passports, small snacks etc. when traveling. 5. The strap is long and easily adjustable. I find it comfortable. I usually wear it cross body. I used the inbuilt security feature whereby one can attach the bag to a chair (or other) when traveling, while sitting at street cafes and found that feature very useful. It is also long enough that I can keep on my shoulder and rest the bag in the trolley (seat) when shopping. 6. the expandable mesh sides: ok for a small water bottle when needed. And it does need to be a small (12oz) bottle. I rarely use it for that but do make use of the side pockets for other small items (sunglasses, tissues) I need to have handy. I usually keep the pockets zipped up. These side pockets are probably the feature I use least but they have potential. For instance, a small bottle of prescription meds or similar should fit there quite securely. All in all, it is a great bag. I had intended it only for travel but find it so practical that I am still using it daily. I had thought it may be too small for daily use but not so. The variety of pockets, clips and sturdy strap allow for various subtle expansion options and its inbuilt organizational capacity makes up for what might seem like a small size. You cannot fit a huge amount in there but I was never one for carrying a lot in my bags. iPad, phone (2 when in Europe), money, credit cards, protein bar, chewing gum, daily meds, tissues, passport and tickets all fit when I need. That is enough for me. The only downside is that it is perhaps not the most attractive bag. I used always have nice colored leather bags and a leather purse/money/card holder... that gives you an idea of my tastes. They have sat unused since I got this travelon bag. The black nylon cloth has held up well... it looks as good today as it did the day I bought it... and the organizational advantages to me of this bag far outweigh any minor discomfort I felt with its look. I recommend it highly. It really works for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best travel purse
*by A***R on May 18, 2026*

Amazing. This purse is so comfortable and handy. You can carry everything you need and then some. I felt all my important things were protected. The water bottle holders only hold small bottle, but work well. Even full, it's comfortable to carry. Just the most perfect size.
