Best Anti-Theft Purse For Travel: My Top 9 Travel Bag Picks

The best anti-theft purse is the one that foils pickpockets every time.

And if I’d had one of these clever items when I visited Beijing, I wouldn’t have looked like such an idiot… or worse, a criminal.

That’s exactly how I felt as I tried to convince embassy officials to  please  let me in to get a new passport – because mine had been stolen, along with my money.

But I didn’t have a pickpocket-proof purse, and I had committed the cardinal sin of travel: I had put my passport into an unsecured daypack.

Believe me, this is the kind of mistake you only make once, and I’d love to make sure you don’t have to make it at all!

So I now have not one, but  several  of the best anti-theft travel bags on the market. I never travel without one. And yes, my passport is now snugly secure.

Today I want to focus on day bags designed to  ward off pickpockets . I’ve been testing several of these during my travels and to paraphrase the well-known ad, I would ‘never leave home without one’.

There are two big names in anti-theft travel bags for women: PacSafe and Travelon. The last time I searched for “PacSafe” and “Travelon” on Amazon I found hundreds of results for these brands. While the two giants dominate the market, I’ve also looked at others and have added those further down this page.

These  travel accessories  range from tiny clutches to roomy purses and every color under the sun, so try to narrow down your choices before you shop by asking yourself:

• Are color and style important to you?
• Do you need something ultralight because you have back issues or is heavy fine?
• What do you plan to carry – just a wallet and phone or do you need space for your tablet, paperback book, glasses, keys, tissues, pens and a notebook for quick notes, a small camera… you get the picture!
• Will you be heading into the rainy season? The material could be an issue.
• Do you need oodles of pockets or do you like to have it all mixed up at the bottom of your purse?

Make sure you answer some of these questions before you shop!

Meantime, though, here’s a comparison chart for my top 9 bags. 

Best anti-theft crossbody bag: comparison table

What should i look for in the best anti-theft bags.

Each bag will be different, but each will have specific anti-theft properties that make them attractive.

The best crossbody bags should have as many of these characteristics as possible:

• Slash-resistant or slash-proof fabric (typically wire mesh)
• Strong fabric (canvas, nylon)
• Anti-slash straps (usually wire-reinforced)
• Locking zippers or closures OR hidden zippers
• RFID blocking pockets /compartments
• Multiple interior pockets with separate closures (like zippers)
• Non-flashy design or colors (to blend in rather than attract attention)
• Compact enough to be worn under a cardigan, jacket even a large pashmina, making it hard for thieves to spot.

Daypacks  are also good for use as travel purses, but under certain conditions:

• That they are designed specifically to thwart thieves
• That you wear them on your chest instead of your back (I do dislike that but that’s my personal bias) 
• That you avoid putting anything of value in exterior or unlocked pockets.

Some find that the best anti-theft backpack purse is the one that is versatile enough to act as both a backpack and a handbag in different situations.

Standard Pacsafe purse features

Every Pacsafe bag (or most) shares a few features that set the brand apart from others:

• Stainless steel wire mesh in fabric and wire-reinforced straps
• Locking clips and zippers, turn and lock security hooks.  
• RFID blocking pockets and compartments

My three most highly rated Pacsafe bags are described below.

• Cool detachable shoulder strap (adjusttable, of course) allows you to lock it to something solid while you go to the counter to pay your bill.
• There’s no way anyone is going to cut through the steel mesh surrounding this pack.
• Interlocking zippers make it difficult for thieves to reach into your backpack.
• Like all Pacsafe products, lots of pockets, inside and outside.
• Perfect as a daypack but equally useful as a weekender.
• Water-resistant, of course, you won’t need to fear the r

• Perfect if you want to go out in the evening without returning to your room to change bags. This one converts from a day bag to an evening purse.
• Metal-reinforced strap can be locked to anything - a radiator or table.
• Great if you’re out for the day - will fit your phone, camera, cash and cards, papers, keys and the like.
• Plenty of pockets, including an RFID blocking inside one.
• Plenty of pockets, including an RFID blocking inside on

• One of Pacsafe’s all-time classics. You’ll put in on and forget it’s even there, it’s THAT comfortable.
• Lightweight steel mesh is embedded in the fabric, which makes this purse virtually thief-proof.
• No one will unhook it without your knowing - you can lock the strap in place.
• Will fit your iPad Mini in its padded sleeve.

Standard Travelon purse features

Most Travelon bags are made to foil pickpockets and tend to share certain characteristics:

• Slash-resistant mesh body panels and shoulder straps
• RFID blocking pockets
• Locking zippers and compartments

These two are among the most highly rated Travelon handbags by women who travel with them.

• It’s comfortable enough to wear all day.
• This is the right purse if all you want to carry are your essentials - a large iPhone, identification, even a camera.
• Slip your identification into the main RFID compartment for a worry-free day.
• You can slip your phone into the outside drop pocket.
• A small LED light is included to help you find what you’re looking for ins

• This is definitely larger than the bag above, if you need to carry more with you.
• It includes inside space for a water bottle or umbrella.
• Plenty of space inside for everything else, including the little iconic LED light so you can find everything.
• The external zippered compartments are convenient if, like me, you’re always reaching for something in your purse.
• This purse has a more designed look than your average travel purse, if you’re looking for something a bit more stylish.
• Of course it has all the usual safety features, from locking zippers to RFID pock

Pacsafe vs Travelon: who wins?

Let’s talk Travelon vs PacSafe. Both PacSafe and Travelon offer a wide range of bag styles from compact backpacks, to wallets, to purses. Both incorporate great anti-theft features like slash-proof fabric/straps, RFID-blocking pockets and ways to lock zippers and closures. Both have highly-rated bags that people swear by.

So what are the biggest differences between PacSafe and Travelon? Price, color options, and overall style.

Pros and cons of Pacsafe

In general, PacSafe bags are more expensive than bags of similar quality (often by $20 or more, depending on the sales and bag in question), and they come with fewer color options. There are exceptions, of course, but PacSafe tends to put safety and practicality before fashion in their bag designs. 

In this case, safe really does equal boring, which can be great if your main priority is to transport your things securely and not be noticed. They are also sturdy and buying one means you may have to stick with it for a long time because it won’t wear out.

✔ Durable and practical ✔ Will not draw unnecessary attention ✔ Highly-rated and trusted by travelers

✖ More expensive than other bags of equal quality ✖ Fewer color choices/More “boring” designs

Pros and cons of Travelon

Travelon isn’t a designer purse but the brand does have a range of handbags with quaint stitching, stylish fasteners, and bolder color choices. 

If you’re budget-conscious, Travelon bags cost less overall. That said, the flashier colors and accessories might attract more attention, which could backfire if the point of buying an anti-theft bag was to deter thieves from snatching your things.

✔ Durable and practical ✔ Budget-conscious option ✔ Highly-rated and trusted by travelers ✔ More color choices/Fancier styles and designs

✖ Could attract unnecessary attention ✖ Sadly, the ‘plainer’ designs have the highest user ratings

It really is up to you. My own personal choice is Pacsafe, which I find the most reliable and neutral, a feature I like for traveling. They’re also well made (mine seem indestructible) and well thought through. If you’re in need of a small and a larger travel anti-theft purse, you could decide to buy one of each (I don’t need much of a nudge to buy an extra bag for travel!)

The next best anti-theft bags

If you aren’t a fan of PacSafe or Travelon, then these are the next best anti-theft bags for travel made by other reputable brands. Whether you’re looking for a stylish anti-theft purse, or a slash-proof purse, these will suit or travel bag needs.

• This is perfect for the woman who doesn’t want to carry a purse or a backpack, or who prefers to have various places to stash valuables
• Its ultra-slim design makes it perfect for wearing under your clothes.
• Mine is beige but it comes in a variety of colors.
• It also has multiple compartments and pockets so you’ll be able to keep your cash, cards, ID, and phone separate.
• The moisture-wicking material means it won’t stick to your skin if you sw

• You’ll be able to choose from a bunch of colors and designs.
• This bag isn’t big - it’s a perfect day bag and you’ll be able to put everything you need into it - your keys, cards, cash and phone - and your glasses, of course.
• You can wear it on your shoulder or as a cross-body.
• Of course the polyester material will keep everything dry in the rain.
• It has lots of little compartments, so you’ll have a place for everythin

• Ideal when you don’t need a large bag!
• This clutch has utterly stylish design, made of soft, beautiful leather in beautiful colors.
• Several compartments and RFID protected credit card slots will keep your valuables safe.

It’s true, we are spoilt for choice. Our tremendous thirst for travel, combined with our need to keep our valuables safe, means that traveling without some kind of anti-theft bag is simply not an option anymore. Whichever bag you choose, make sure it is comfortable on your body because no matter how secure it is, if you don’t enjoy wearing it, you won’t.

The 11 Best Travel Purses of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Keep your belongings at your side with these T+L-approved travel purses.

• Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Reese Herrington

Organization while traveling is key, so we recommend having one designated spot for storing travel essentials like a passport, money, and technology. While you can store these items in a bigger bag en route to your destination, a more portable bag like a purse, mini backpack, or sling bag may be a better option.

We consulted our Travel + Leisure staff as well as other industry experts across our team to get recommendations for travel purses that are tried and true by frequent fliers. We received  submissions from over 30 seasoned travelers for bags they've used anywhere from six months to over four years all around the globe. We selected 11 purses that received the highest praise and broke down why we think you’ll love them, too.

Best Overall

Lo & sons o.g. 2.

Lo & Sons

• Capacity 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5
• Ease of Use 5 /5

The large purse has a pocket for every travel essential you could ever need to pack.

It can get heavy when it’s packed full.

Lo & Sons makes some of our favorite travel bags, so it’s no surprise that this one came highly recommended for its spacious capacity and superior organizational features. The large shoulder bag comes with a padded laptop pocket that can store and protect devices up to 13 inches long, or you can place a laptop up to 16 inches in the main compartment, but it won’t be in the padded section.

For any other travel essentials, this bag has you covered with plenty of small pockets in the main section of the bag for phone chargers and snacks, and there’s a water bottle pocket to stay hydrated on the go. The front zippered pocket has smaller pockets inside to store grab-and-go items like a phone, wallet, and passport. Best of all, the bag has a discrete side pocket for a pair of shoes when you're using it as an overnight bag. And, of course, the more you pack the nylon bag, the heavier it will get, but it does have a trolley sleeve for securing it to a suitcase if it feels cumbersome to carry.

The Details: 16.5 x 13.75 x 6.75 inches | Nylon, Nappa leather | Water resistant | 13-inch laptop pocket

Best Overall, Runner-up

Cheruty backpack purse.

The stylish backpack has a modular design so you can carry it three ways.

The anti-theft design makes it less convenient to grab items.

Versatility is key with a travel purse, so we love that this backpack purse can be carried in multiple ways. While the purse is designed for use as a backpack with the built-in backpack straps, it also has a top handle and removable crossbody strap to convert the style as desired. Our favorite part of the backpack is the anti-theft design featuring a main compartment that is only accessible from the back zipper. There is a front zippered pocket to store small items like lip balm or a phone charger and the interior has four zippered and slip pockets for staying organized. The anti-theft design makes it a little less convenient to grab items quickly, but it offers peace of mind in crowded spaces since it’s much more difficult for pickpocketing to occur. This bag also earned praise for being effortlessly stylish thanks to the sleek faux leather look over two dozen color options.

The Details: 12.6 x 5.9 x 12.6 inches | PU leather | Convertible | 9.7-inch laptop pocket

Travel + Leisure / Tamara Staples

Quince Revive Nylon Large Tote

The nylon material is super lightweight and easy to wipe-clean on the go.

It doesn’t have a top zipper.

Looking for a purse that’s easy to pack? Quince’s nylon tote bag is impressively lightweight whether you’re toting it around while sightseeing or packing it away in a bigger suitcase. While we love a leather bag, nylon material can be a safer option for travel since it’s easy to spot-clean with some soap and water on the go, and is typically lighter so it won’t weigh down your shoulder when packed full of the essentials. This tote’s interior has designated pockets for a laptop and water bottle, and various slip and zippered pockets to organize smaller items. For security reasons, it would be nice if the bag had a zip-top instead of a magnetic closure, but the slim design of the bag makes it easy to keep it close to you while traveling. The tote also has two exterior slip pockets and it comes in Oxford blue, olive, and black color options.

The Details: 17 x 13 x 7 inches | Recycled nylon | Water resistant | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Shoulder Bag

Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag.

• Capacity 2 /5

The nylon bag is easy to compress and pack down for excellent portability.

It’s not big enough to store tablets or laptops.

Crescent bags are a bit more stylish than a traditional fanny pack, but the style offers similar security to a sling bag that rests on the upper body. The simplicity of this Uniqlo shoulder bag makes it an excellent choice for travelers in search of a packable bag to store the essentials. It’s big enough to carry a phone, wallet, passport, or other smaller items, but it isn’t large enough to hold laptops or tablets. If you need to consolidate your personal belongings before getting on an airplane, this nylon bag compresses down and can be folded up to seamlessly fit in a backpack or carry-on. The water-resistant bag is also machine washable and comes in seven earthy colors. And, the purse is the most affordable option on this list if you can’t choose just one color.

The Details: 11 x 7 x 3.9 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Fanny Pack

Dagne dover ace fanny pack.

Dagne Dover

• Quality 5 /5
• Capacity 4 /5

The spacious fanny pack is made with durable and waterproof neoprene fabric.

Dirt and dust are easily attracted to the fabric.

If you’re traveling somewhere damp or rainy, you’ll want a purse made of waterproof materials to protect your belongings. This Dagne Dover fanny pack is made with the brand’s signature neoprene material that wards off inclement weather and rough handling thanks to the thick cushion of the fabric. While we love the protective material, it is prone to catching dust and dirt, but it can be easily spot-cleaned so it isn’t a deal-breaker by any means. The interior is big enough to fit phones, wallets, eReaders, and sunglasses with plenty of room to spare, but it isn’t so large that it feels bulky to wear. The nylon strap can be adjusted to wear the fanny pack comfortably around the waist and shoulder or as a crossbody sling bag, which is ideal for versatility while traveling or running errands. There are several slip pockets and a zippered one in the front to store and organize small items and the fanny pack comes in six color options.

The Details: 9.25 x 5.5 x 2.75 inches | Neoprene | Water resistant

Travel + Leisure / Anna Popp

Best Crossbody

Baggallini everywhere bagg.

The lightweight materials and adjustable crossbody strap offer all-day comfort.

The interior could benefit from a divider to separate the spacious compartment.

The Baggallini Everywhere Bag is travel expert-endorsed largely due to the fact that it offers superior comfort compared to other crossbody bags on the market. The entire bag and strap are made of a lightweight nylon fabric that won’t rub or dig when it’s being worn across the body or as a shoulder bag. Large enough to fit an iPad or tablet, the purse has an impressive capacity for storing everything from the bare necessities like a wallet and keys to tech gadgets for air travel. The medium-size purse is chock full of pockets on the inside and outside, and there’s even a discrete side pocket for easy access to phones or wallets. The main compartment has a pocket for tablets and a few small slip pockets, but we wish there was a divider or more pockets to prevent items from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. We also love that there is a trolley sleeve in the back and the bag comes with an RFID-blocking removable wristlet as a thoughtful touch.

The Details: 11 x 9 x 5 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Clutch

Radley london sundown avenue weave medium flapover clutch.

Radley London

• Capacity 3 /5
• Comfort 5 /5

The compact purse can be worn as a crossbody bag or carried as a clutch.

The chain strap is not adjustable.

For travel looks that require a chic purse to complete the outfit, we recommend this convertible clutch from Radley London. It’s made with high-quality genuine leather with a woven design and elegant gold hardware that gives the purse a truly elevated design. And for the best part: it comes with a removable chain to style the purse as a crossbody or carry it as a clutch for upscale events like weddings or fancy dinners. The chain strap is effortlessly chic, but we wish it was adjustable or slightly longer since the shorter chain is a bit awkward to use with the bag. The size is small enough to fit in a backpack or suitcase, and the magnetic-closing bag can fit various small items like lipstick, credit cards, and a phone.

The Details: 11 x 6 x 4 inches | Leather | Detachable chain strap

Best Packable

Longchamp le pliage original backpack.

The backpack can fold up to a fraction of its original size.

It doesn’t offer any pockets for organization.

If you don’t want your travel purse to count as a personal item or carry-on for flying, Longchamp’s packable mini backpack is a game-changer for saving space. While the bag is already smaller in size, it can fold up with the help of built-in snap-closures to compress the backpack into a small rectangle that packs flat. The bag can then be placed into a large piece of luggage for travel and unfolded to create the perfect purse for a day of sightseeing. It can hold bulkier items like a tablet, camera, water bottle, and wallet without feeling heavy or weighed down. One thing to note is that the bag doesn’t offer organizational features like pockets, so you may want to use a small pouch to organize smaller items. The recycled polyamide canvas backpack looks elegant and it comes in seven color options, but if backpacks aren’t your preferred way of carrying items, the brand also carries a similar packable Le Pliage Original Tote Bag that came highly recommended by T+L travel experts, too.

The Details: 11 x 10.2 x 3.9 inches | Recycled polyamide canvas

Best Machine Washable

Baggu nylon crescent bag.

• Value 4.8 /5

You can toss this nylon bag in a washing machine after a trip for hassle-free upkeep.

Consider air-drying the bag to prevent pilling or shrinkage.

Traveling can speed up the typical wear and tear on a purse, especially for frequent fliers, so this machine-washable bag from Baggu makes it easy to breathe new life into it after trips. Baggu bags are notorious for being easy to pack and this larger crescent purse is no exception thanks to the flexible nylon material that can easily be compressed and folded. The medium size is surprisingly spacious with a large main section for water bottles, snacks, wallets, and a travel tablet , and two slip pockets for lip balm and keys. Plus, the nylon strap is adjustable for the most comfortable fit whether the bag is packed to the brim or with just a few items. Since all travelers have different styles, we love that the bag comes in various solid colors and bold prints to please everyone. While the bag is machine washable, we recommend hanging it up to air dry to prevent any shrinking or damage from a dryer.

The Details: 13.75 x 8 x 4 inches | Recycled heavyweight nylon

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag

The material has plenty of stretch so it can hold bigger items like beach towels and jackets.

You’ll want to store keys and lip balm in a separate pouch since smaller items can fall through the mesh.

Whether vacationing somewhere tropical or swinging by the farmer’s market, this Longchamp mesh bag is a must-pack. Compact and easy to store in a bigger purse, the bag turns into a Mary Poppins bag once you begin packing it. From jean jackets to beach towels, the cotton mesh material has the slightest bit of stretch to hold bulkier items without anything falling through the perforated design. It can also store fruit, veggies, and flowers if you come across an unexpected farmer’s market while traveling. For smaller items, we recommend using a smaller pouch to keep keys, lip balm, and other skinny items safeguarded from the netting. Depending on your personal style, the bag comes in six color options featuring neutrals like white and brown or bolder colors like pink and green.

The Details: 15 x 12.2 inches | Cotton, gold hardware

Best for Laptops

John fluevog shoes nashua laptop bag.

John Fluevog Shoes

• Value 4.5 /5

This compact laptop bag comes with tote handles and a crossbody strap that offers both a comfortable and convertible design.

Larger laptops might be a tighter fit.

This recommended John Fluvog leather laptop purse offers protection for your technology while traveling. It’s basically a laptop case with straps to carry it as a crossbody or tote bag, so we love that it’s specifically designed for computers. The removable crossbody strap is made with the same soft leather material and it boasts two little pockets to store small items like lip balm or earbuds that are easy to access from the strap. The interior has a designated slip pocket that can store laptops up to 15 inches long, but anything bigger might be a tight squeeze or not fit at all. Aside from a laptop, travelers can store small water bottles, snacks, notebooks, headphones, or any other essentials in the spacious main compartment. There is a front zippered pocket to conveniently access boarding passes or a phone while traveling. With several color and texture options, shoppers have the choice between black and blue color options made with soft pebbled leather and a brown color made with sleek smooth leather.

The Details: 15 x 11.25 x 2.25 inches | Pebbled leather

Other Travel Purses We Liked

Several travel purses still came highly recommended, but didn’t have as much praise compared to our winner’s list.

Madewell The Transport Saddlebag : The crossbody bag has lots of space to hold travel essentials, but the leather strap isn’t the most comfortable for long periods of time.

Senreve Midi Maestra Bag : We love that the modular design makes it easy to carry the bag in three different ways, but the medium size is a bit awkward for travel since it’s too small to hold a laptop and too bulky to pack in a suitcase.

With recommendations from T+L editors and other trusted travel experts on our team, we compiled this of tried-and-true travel purses. While we accepted all submissions, we narrowed the list down to 11 options that stood out for quality, capacity, and portability. Each bag recommended has been used for at least six months (some have been tested for over four years) and has traveled all around the world with us on various trip types.

Tips for Buying a Travel Purse

Know your storage and organization needs.

Whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist packer, there’s a travel purse out there to fit your needs. For travelers in need of extra space for larger wallets or laptops, we recommend a tote bag or medium-size backpack that often have designated pockets for items of different sizes. Crossbody, sling, and shoulder bags are best for storing just the essentials like phones, credit cards, earbuds, or a small wallet. For an even more streamlined option, a phone purse could be a good choice.

Prioritize comfort

Comfort while traveling is essential, so if you know you’re an over-packer, opt for a backpack or purse with thick, padded straps to help distribute the weight and provide cushioning. In general, you want to look for bags that don't have thin straps (often crossbody bags) since this can often cause discomfort or rubbing.

Think about anti-theft protection

Pickpocketing is a very real threat when traveling and the best way to avoid it is by making sure all of your valuables aren’t easily accessible. Anti-theft protection in travel purses can vary, but the common traits include discrete pockets in the back or interior of the purse, lockable zippers, and cut-resistant fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

A personal item is anything (allowed on an airplane, of course) that can fit underneath the seat. That means that purses, backpacks, totes, shopping bags, or laptop cases can count as your allotted personal item. If the airline is strict about personal items, you can always stick your purse inside of a backpack or carry-on to consolidate the number of items.

It depends on the material the purse is made out of and the type of fabric lining. In general, purses should come with manufacturing cleaning instructions, but if not, you can always opt for some soap and water to gently spot clean until you can get the bag professionally cleaned or into a washing machine if allowed.

6 Best Anti-Theft Travel Bags (with Travelon & Pacsafe)

When you’re traveling, one of the most important things is keeping your belongings safe from pickpockets and other types of theft. Losing your passport or money while traveling overseas is a fear we all have. But the threat of theft from pickpockets and drive-by snatchings is high, so you must take the necessary precautions to protect yourself. An anti-theft bag can help ward off would-be slash and grab thieves.

Having traveled to over 70 countries, many of which have a not so great track record for travel scams and theft, I’ve tried out many anti-theft bags and I’ve narrowed the choices down to just two brands: Travelon and Pacsafe . These top two brands make some of the very best anti-theft backpacks and anti-theft purses you’ll find anywhere.

I’ve listed these and six bags (backpacks and purses) below for you to see and read more about. We’ve got full reviews of each bag, plus links to additional reviews on Amazon, and quick links you can use to purchase the bag you think is right for you.

Quick Pick List – Best Anti Theft Bags

In case you don’t have time to read of the reviews and debate over which anti theft bag is the perfect one for you, I’ve put together a chart below to my top picks for best anti-theft bags to help you make a quick choice.

Rest assured, we haven’t included any bag that doesn’t meet our stringent quality standards, so no matter which bag you pick, it’s already been vetted and approved by us.

*My Top Picks

• Front slash-resistant pocket

Pacsafe Metrosafe LS200 Anti-Theft Shoulder Bag

What is an Anti-Theft Bag?

If this is your first time hearing about an anti-theft bag, you might be wondering what it is exactly. These bags are designed with special features that make them more difficult to gain access to and harder to steal. They have technology that other bags don’t have.

While we never advocate carrying around valuables or irreplaceable items while traveling, we know it’s impossible to go somewhere without a passport, credit cards, ID, and at least some cash. All of those things are vulnerable to theft. That is where an anti-theft bag comes in. These bags protect you from a lot of typical scams performed by thieves in major touristy areas.

Typical Theft Scams

• Cutting through the strap of a shoulder purse to snatch it
• Snatching a shoulder bag from a motorcycle or bike
• Scanning ID or credit cards inside of a purse that is unprotected
• Slashing through the material of the bag to dump the contents out the bottom
• Pick-pocketing a bag that has been left unzipped or is easy to unzip without detection

A typical purse or backpack does not provide any protection from these attempts to steal your belongings. But an anti-theft bag does.

What Are the Special Features of an Anti-Theft Bag?

Most anti-theft handbags include a long list of features that will protect you against covert theft attempts, like slashing the bag or cutting the strap.  Make sure the following features are present in any anti-theft bag you intend to purchase.

» Slash-resistant mesh body panel

To protect against slash-n-grab thieves who speed by in crowds and on motorbikes, the panels of the bag should have a stainless-steel or chain-link mesh that fits between the outer layer and the fabric lining on all sides of the bag. This makes it impossible to cut through quickly.

» RFID blocking

You may not even have thought that thieves have the technology to just pass by you on the street with an RFID reader to scan the cards and passport in your bag, but they do. Almost all of the cards you carry contain RFID chips with personal information.

Make sure you purchase a bag that has RFID blocking technology. There should be protected slots where you can put your cards to keep them safe.

» Slash-resistant shoulder strap

One of the easiest ways for a thief to steal your bag is to quickly cut the strap when you’re not paying attention and swipe the bag away from you. To protect against these thieves, your anti-theft bag should have stainless steel cables or chain that run within the straps to make them impossible to cut through easily.

» Locking straps

The #1 rules for ladies in a restaurant is to never place your bag over the back of the chair, because it’s just too easy for a thief to grab it away before you know it. One of the top features of an anti-theft bag is locking straps that allow you to attach your bag to a chair or stable object in a way that prevents it from being taken.

» Locking compartments and zippers

Thieves are trained at being stealthy. They can unzip your purse or backpack without you even knowing it, to extract everything without your knowledge. A good anti-theft bag has locking compartments to protect you against pickpockets.

Top Anti-Theft Bag Brands

As I mentioned already, there are two main brands that make some of the best anti-theft bags on the market today. They are Travelon and Pacsafe. I personally have carried the Classic Light Travelon anti-theft bag for many years and I love it so much I’ll probably cry if it ever breaks.

Why are these two brands the best? It’s because they are committed to providing the best technology to keep your belongings safe.

» Pacsafe Bags

Pacsafe started making their bags in 1998. Being travelers themselves, they set out to make a better bag that would make traveling a bit easier – so you didn’t have to worry so much about losing important items, being robbed of all your cash, or having to protect your luggage with utmost vigilance at all times.

Their bags have really great security features like Turn & Lock security hooks, Pop and Lock security clips, and locking cables. With this technology, you can lock your bag to something like an airport chair and know it’ll still be there when you wake up.

» Travelon Bags

Travelon is leading brand in anti-theft luggage, including Anti-theft travel purse, crossbody bags and backpacks. They’ve been making bags for over 30 years, and their entire product collection contains over 400 items. You can trust that they are at the forefront of anti-theft technology.

Their products are really well designed and manufactured. You know you’re getting quality with Travelon and they’ve seemingly thought of everything.

Anti-Theft Travel Bag Reviews

★ our top pick:  travelon anti-theft cross-body bucket bag.

There are a lot of different Travelon anti theft bags to choose from, but the Travelon Crossbody Bag is one of the best. It’s a rather large bag, so it fits the most situations for the majority of people.

The size of this bag is 10″ x 14″ x 4″.  It’s one of the largest crossbody bags you can find, particularly keeping in mind that you don’t want to be carrying around a lot of weight all day. If you pack this bag full, it will be quite heavy. They also have a very similar crossbody bag that you might be interested in as well that is slightly taller and has more exterior pockets.

Organizational Features:

• The large interior pocket has plenty of room for your larger items. There’s also a smaller zippered pocket inside for change, cash or smaller items. Along the side is a row of card slots that are RFID blocking.
• There’s a second zippered pocket on the outside that has larger, padded slots for things like your phone and passport.
• On either side of the bag, there are water-bottle holders, which also work nicely as umbrella holders.

Anti-Theft Features:

• Lockable main compartment with RFID-blocking card and passport slots
• Slash-resistant body
• Adjustable, slash-resistant shoulder strap that can be locked to a stationary object
• Zippered rear pocket with removable LED light

Pros:   Large and versatile. Plenty of space for everything to be neatly packed away. Can be carried crossbody for added protection. Cons:  The lining isn’t as high quality as expected and can tear away from the bag if carrying heavy items often.

Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Small Crossbody Bag

If you’re looking for a small anti-theft crossbody bag to carry only the essentials and keep it streamlined, the Travelon Classic Small Crossbody bag will suit you well. This bag has many of the same features as the bucket bag (featured above), but without the extra space.

The size is  10.5” x 8.5” x 2.5” with an adjustable 13”- 25” strap.  For me, this is the perfect size for travel. Not too big, not too small. They also have a very similar crossbody bag that you might be interested in as well that is even smaller (8.8″ x 6″ x 1.5″) and is perfect for someone who carries just the basics and nothing bulky.

• The main interior pocket has room for your bigger items, like sunglasses and wallet. Along the side is a row of non-zippered card slots that are RFID blocking and a larger pocket for your cell phone. The main compartment has plenty of room for a Kindle or iPad mini.
• There’s a zippered pocket on the inside to hold loose items, like cash and coins. There’s a small LED light in the pocket.
• On either side of the bag, there are zippered pockets.
• Size: 10.5″ x 8.5″ x 2.5″

Pros:   The material is easy to clean and is water-resistant. It’s perfect size for those who don’t like to carry a lot of stuff, which leads to it not being overly heavy. Cons:  No water bottle pocket. The credit card slots are not tight, so cards don’t feel securely fastened in.

I like the Pacsafe messenger bag because it looks more like a generic travel bag, rather than a purse. I travel often with Nick, who doesn’t really want to carry around a purse, so I end up carrying the stuff all the time. This bag is more masculine and doesn’t look like a purse, so we can share the responsibility of carrying it. You can buy this bag in 5 different colors.

The size is 11.4 x 9.3 x 2.8 in. I’ve found that it can be very slim if you don’t pack it full of bulky items, but it has plenty of space to expand in case you do have a lot of things to pack in it. All in, this bag can hold 7 liters. If you’re looking for a slightly smaller version, check out the  Metrosafe LS140 , which holds 5 liters. It’s also a popular choice from Pacsafe.

• This bag is practically made of pockets. There are 3 interior slip pockets, 2 interior zippered pockets and 4 exterior pockets.
• It has an internal protective and padded sleeve that can hold a full-sized iPad tablet or small laptop computer.
• For added security, there is a velcro flap that covers the front panel, behind which you’ll find a zippered compartment for your cards, cell phone and keys.
• The shoulder strap is expandable from 13.4 to 29.5 inches.
• Two side water bottle or umbrella holders
• RFID-safe blocking material built into a pocket in the main compartment
• Turn & Lock Security Hook attaches the bag to a fixture
• Lightweight, hidden eXomesh Slashguard stainless steel wire mesh embedded into fabric
• Lockabout Security Clip
• Smart Zipper Security

Pros:   Love the turn & lock security hook to attach the bag to the chair in a restaurant for added security. Well made, high-quality fabric. Cons: Can be tedious to get into the front zippered compartment with the overlaying flap. The water bottle holders aren’t large enough for 20 oz bottle.

Pacsafe Cruise 8l Anti Theft All Day Crossbody

Unlike the larger Pacsafe LS200, this bag looks more like a travel purse. It’s also smaller than the LS200, so is suited more for people who don’t wish to pack a lot of stuff inside.

The main compartment provides plenty of space for smaller items like sunglasses and wallet, with lots of organizational pockets in the interior. It has a lockable zippered main compartment with 1 zippered RFID blocking pocket on one side and 1 regular zippered pocket, plus a phone pocket, card slots and key clip. There are also two side slip pockets for a small water bottle or sunglasses. I don’t find that a water bottle actually fits well there, though.

The thing I like most about this bag is how sleek and simple it is. The pockets are all very discreet and the zipper is hidden inside the seam so it’s kept safe from would-be thieves.

The size of the bag is 8. 7″H x 11. 8″W x 4″D with an adjustable shoulder strap. It weighs just 0.93 pounds thanks to the lightweight recycled Polyester material it’s made with.

• This bag has a zippered main compartment with an RFID zippered pocket.
• A zippered front pocket provides space to slip a phone or passport.
• Smart zippers fasteners that can’t easily be accessed by thieves
• Cut-proof material (made with a lightweight steel mesh) 
• Adjustable wire-reinforced strap
• RFID-safe blocking material that keeps your cards safe.

Pros: The part about this bag is that it is slim and small. If you’re a light packer but want to have some space in a lightweight bag to carry important items, this bag is perfect. Water-repellent. Cons:   Not a large bag, so you might find that some items you need just won’t fit. Not a lot of interior organization.

Best Anti-Theft Backpacks

When looking for the right theft-proof backpack, there are a few things to consider. Generally you won’t be purchasing an anti-theft backpack to use in place of luggage on a trip. So you don’t need it to be exceptionally large. Instead, you’re looking for an alternative to a purse or cross-body bag, in which to carry your important items while traveling, like electronics, jacket, umbrella, water bottle.

The two backpacks on our list are just the right size for carrying around as a day bag, which is around a 15L – 28L. If you’re a light packer, you could use either of these backpacks as a weekend bag with no problems.

Travelon Anti Theft Classic Backpack

It’s called the Classic for a reason. This Travelon anti-theft backpack has all the features you need in a backpack, plus the uncomplicated and reliable anti-theft features.

The size of the bag is  16 x 12 x 6 inches, which gives plenty of space for everything you’d need on a day trip. One of the things I like the most about this backpack is the large main compartment. That makes it versatile for anything from packing a picnic for the beach or packing for a 3-4 day trip.

• The main compartment is large enough to fit a fully packed medium packing cube , plus a toiletry bag , a lightweight rain jacket and a few more odds and ends.
• Also inside the main pocket is a sleeve where you can fit a small (13″ or smaller) travel laptop , or an iPad , and there’s a zippered pocket in the back for storing paperwork or documents.
• In the front pocket, there’s room for a book or Kindle , plus all of your smaller items (cell phone, passport, credit cards, sunglasses, etc.
• The bag also has a side pouch where you can store a water bottle, thermos or umbrella.

Pros:   Perfect for carrying whatever you need – from day trip to a full weekend away. Lots of great organizational features. Cons:  This bag is for light packers. If you have a lot of items to pack, you may find it too small. Also better suited for a smaller framed person, as the straps are not incredibly long.

Pacsafe Metrosafe LS350 Anti-Theft 15L Backpack

For a slim and lightweight backpack with fantastic security features, you can’t find one better than the Pacsafe LS350. While it’s quite a small backpack – the size is 16.5 x 11.6 x 5.1 inches – I’ve found that it holds everything I could need for a day out as a tourist.

Nick and I often only take one bag and we can put 2 jackets, a water bottle, 2 umbrellas, my small travel purse, any documents we need and sunglasses inside and still have plenty of room for thing we pick up throughout the day.  All in, this bag can hold 15 liters.

• The roomy main compartment offers enough space to put a medium-size packing cube, or a couple days’ clothing and a rain jacket.
• The backpack has an internal protective sleeve for up to a 13-inch laptop or tablet.
• There’s a front zippered pocket with organization sleeves in which to tuck away all of your loose items. There’s also an extra zippered pocket in the front pocket flap.
• Two side water bottle or umbrella holders.
• Adjustable wire-reinforced Carrysafe Slashguard Strap
• Turn & Lock Security Hook attaches strap to secure fixture
• RFID-safe Blocking Material built into a pocket in the main compartment

Pros:   Comfortable and adjustable shoulder straps Cons: The back is not ventilated and there is no sternum strap. Not as big as the Travelon backpack. Don’t expect to fit a ton in there!

With these 6 anti-theft bags to choose from, your travels will never be safer. Take it from us – we’ve been traveling for over 20 years – it’s important to take extra care of your belongings while on the road.

Nothing will ruin your travels faster than falling victim to a slash and grab thief. Protect yourself by purchasing one of the best anti-theft handbags on the market.

Don't let your holiday be ruined by a nicked wallet - invest in a crossbody bag

• 01 May 2024

While a trusty suitcase or weekender bag come with their own long lists of merits, when you're out and about hitting the pavement in a foreign place, you're going to want to have a crossbody bag across your shoulder.

Marrying function with style, the crossbody bag lets you roam the streets hand-free while keeping your valuables near to your body.

Harder to pull off one's shoulder than a regular handbag and much harder to pickpocket undetected than a backpack, it's an ideal safeguard against petty thieves and just the general annoyances of carrying weight over one shoulder (like with a tote).

So that you can explore Europe, another Aussie state or even your hometown with ease, we've rounded up some of the best crossbody bags for travel . Read on for our top picks and get adventuring!

Way safer than most any large city on the planet...certainly way safer than any US city. Of course, if one decided to walk down dark alleys off the beaten path waving a fistful of currency around, then maybe you would have an issue. But, during post-sunset hours, things still well lit, lot of cops and other security folks around, and common folk out walking, etc.

Very safe just came back from Russia . Felt safe day time and at night.

Please, let it be the last "safety concern" I need to read about on this forum. At some point they just stop being funny.

Very wise of me to keep a record of people's travel reports, or one would have to tell the same story over and over again...
