i bought this bag for Europe based on the reviews, it fits so much in a small space I was constantly amazed-at one point i had two extra phones, four wallets, plus all my own things, and more space available-it was like a never-ending source of space. I felt very secure with the strap, wore it across my body in open markets, crowded streets, you name it. I am very glad I had it with me.

I love this bag, I carry it everyday. shopping is nice to have hands free, I don't have to worry about where is my purse.. I am wearing it. One thing they don't tell you is it has a lot of compartments in the bag and a place for cards. I was surprised as to how much room this bag has. I all so have the Travelon Black Anti-theft Travel Bag. I love that bag all so, it is a bigger bag, i use it when i need to carry more stuff, like traveling.. I am looking to buy more Travelon. they are the best bags i have ever had

This is a nice lightweight shoulder bag that is excellent for travel. I like all the compartments. Means I can keep things I need, like my glasses, keys, and "tour book" in the handy open compartment, while my wallet and checkbook are secure in a zip compartment.

The color was just as shown and it hold a lot of "stuff" in a compact shoulder bag. I would have given it five stars if it didn't have two zippers that are difficult to open and close back up. I kept the shoulder bag as it is warrantied through Travelon so if the zippers stop functioning I will need to send it to them for repair. I am hoping this won't be necessary. I have owned a different Travelon shoulder bag (all leather) and never had a problem with any zippers or the bag itself. I used it so much the leather was looking shabby so I decided to try this one. It is a bit bigger than my last one and I am happy about that as it holds everything I need without being bulky.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. I have been using the shoulder bag for about a week or more and everything is fine except I had trouble from the first day with a couple of the zipper getting stuck and hard to open and close mostly it is the one on the front of the bag and I don't put much in there so kept the bag.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Some issues with the front pocket zipper hard to open and close.

Delighted to find another Travelon hit had arrived when I returned home today....this bag has places for all the small items I hoped to carry--and in a very organized way so no mad searching for particular item/.fast retrieval and a great size for across the body, mostly underarm travel in areas where you question some purse or fanny pack safety....I am so pleased and can't wait...next stop: Peru!

• How accurate was the sizing? as expected

I ordered this to cart around my7" Samsung Galaxy Tab, cell phone, credit cards etc. I really liked the padded compartment that fit my Tab perfectly. I have so many options on where to put my other items that I keep moving them around trying to find the perfect place. This is a great product. Well constructed. I don't have a problem with the shoulder strap that some people report. Probably because I keep moving it depending on what I am doing while carrying it. I use it both on my shoulder and cross shoulder depending on where I am and what I have in my hands.

This purse will safely carry you through crowds at the Eiffel Tower, the baseball park, the county fair or the local mall. It's incredibly roomy and will warehouse your keys, sunglasses, cell phone, cash & credit cards, tissues, makeup and quite a few other things. The bag has a small "footprint" and is very unremarkable. It won't brand you as a "tourist" and therefore vulnerable. You can carry it as a handbag, or lengthen the strap and wear it over the shoulder and/or across your body. If you are having back problems because of carrying a purse, you need this bag! Every woman on my gift list is getting one of these for her birthday this year.

• Did the product fit true to size? Very long strap, highly adjustable
• How is the quality of the product? The quality appears to be excellent
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No defects

This travelon travel bag exceeded my expectations--it's even better than it looks in the photo. The NUMEROUS compartments, expansions, and zippers make organization easy..and the bag looks great as well. My eggplant-colored bag is going everywhere with me from now on.

Great purse, just the right size; love all the pockets!!

I am new to Travelon but am impressed by this bag. I managed to fit my things in it very nicely and for my plane trip, I will use the center section for my Kindle which fits very nicely., I like the gusset that expands the center section. I put a cardboard cut to size in the bottom of that section which could be easily removed and stored if I so chose. I like the way the center section closes only partially at the top with magnets on the side, making it easily accessible but protected. I am partial to the long and narrow configuration in a bag as I seem to be able to accommodate the things I carry (comb,wallet,nail file) The adjustable shoulder strap is great making it possible to use cross body or off the shoulder. I think the fabric is functional, passably attractive and I'm guessing waterproof. I only wish I could order another in black.

I used this compact, durable bag when going into each port on a cruise. It holds alot more than you would think. You are able to get everything you need into it, but it is very light. It is also quite handy because it is a cross shoulder bag which allows your hands to be free. I would highly recommend this bag for travel or even for everyday use. I have mentioned it to many friends.

I like the bag-have found Travelon to hold up very well. The color is as advertised. I was not as happy with this bag because one of the sides does not zip down on both sides far enough.. so is more difficult to access. The one feature that was the deciding factor in my keeping the bag was the easy open center-without that I would have returned the bag. The back zipper portion in not as easily accessed when worn because it is a vertical zipper- I have found the diagonal zippers work best. That is the pocket I put my keys in. It was a good value for the product. Will buy Travelon again.

finally - a compact bag that holds alot. Still room after the glasses and wallet. Organized but not fussy.

Excellent turnaround time, and I love the purse! It is great for everyday use or for traveling.

Got this bag for vacation. It is great! Just large enough but not too big. Lots of zippered compartments so nothing is lost. Strap long enough to be carried cross-shoulder for safety reasons. Went on hikes and not too cumbersome. Good quality. Seems like it will last a long time. Would definitely buy again.

Have purchased this bag for a trip to Branson, MO but am very pleased with it now - will be able to further review it usefullness after the trip.

I love Travelon, and this bag is no exception - I love this one. I am using it as my every day bag and it's working out great - love the egg plant color too!

I have taken a liking to cross shoulder bags. Hands free no worries, no bags slipping off my shoulder etc. This purse is the perfect size and holds many items. The price right now is a STEAL! Highly recommend...I'm thinking of getting another! Enjoy!

I originally purchased this bag for a trip to Disney. It is probably not the right bag for that job, as it is much smaller than I anticipated. However, I am continually amazed at the amount of items this bag holds. It literally swallows belongings. There are many pockets, credit card slots, and zippered areas. It easily holds: credit cards, glasses, keys, receipts, water bottle and many other small items. Still not the Disney bag as it is too small to carry a guidebook, poncho and full-sized sunscreen, but I will be taking it on the plane and using it everyday.
