This review was submitted by Emily Lessnau. We have recently updated it as the Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch is still a Travelon favorite.
When I decided to travel to Japan for a move, I knew I had to downsize and simplify my life. This included my handbag collection, which had grown quite impressive after working two years at a designer handbag shop.
I wanted something small, versatile, and stylish, but I also wanted some safety features for all my adventures throughout Asia. I happily found one bag that replaced dozens (and sadly I do mean dozens) – Travelon’s Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch.
I’m sharing six reasons why I love it below!
6 Reasons to Love the Travelon Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch
1. The Safety Features
With anti-slash fabric & straps and locking zippers, I feel safe and secure in any location.
There are RFID safe pockets for your passport and three cards, as well as a locking carabiner for your strap so you can secure your bag to armrests, bed posts, or anything nearby to avoid grab and runs.
2. The Pockets
Google anti-theft bags and you’ll run across a collection of frumpy, unfashionable, and boring bags that are SO safe that there are no exterior pockets for quick access to basic items.
This bag has three!
- A slip-in pocket for your phone or shades.
- A latching pocket that I put my personal hygiene items in.
- A zipper pocket on the back that’s perfect for maps, tickets, or tissues!
3. The Style
Far from frumpy, this bag is slim, chic, and totally cute.
It’s got decorative stitching on the front pocket flap and comes in four neutral colors: black, ocean, smoke, and sable.
It’s so discreet you can’t tell it’s an anti-theft bag, which is a huge plus for me.
4. The Size
Though it be but small, it is fierce.
The locking zipper on the main compartment extends down to the bottom of the bag. A folio-style piece of fabric keeps your contents from falling out the side. That means easier storage.
And with four extra pockets, plus a built-in wallet, you can fit more than you can imagine inside!
5. It’s Animal Friendly
No cows were harmed in the making of this bag. I was pretty depressed when I realized how many animal lives my leather bags had claimed.
The Signature Slim Pouch is nylon.
6. The Price Tag
When you’re saving for a trip or move, you don’t want to spend tons of cash on extras. Luckily, this bag is only $45.00.
You don’t have to compromise style for function with the Travelon Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch.
