Anti-theft crossbody bag
In my book, an anti-theft crossbody bag is an absolute travel essential for women.
This is my favorite travel purse. I’ve been using the same one since 2018. It’s held up incredibly well. It’s traveled with me for thousands of miles, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
This Travelon bag has zippers that lock shut, so that you know that nobody can just slip the zipper open while you’re not paying attention. An RFID-blocking compartment also protects your credit cards from electronic identity theft.
The bag body and strap are slash-resistant, making it far less likely that a purse snatcher will be able to easily cut the strap and get away with your bag. It’s also very lightweight and surprisingly roomy, holding all the essentials you’ll need for your day of exploring.

It’s hand-washable and comes in a ton of fun colors and patterns to match your personality.
