Travelon - Messenger Shoulder Bag

Comments about Travelon Messenger Shoulder Bag:

I bought this for my trip to Europe last year and it was great. I went all over Paris and Rome with this bag and it was comfortable, allowed me to carry everything I needed and I felt safe with it since the design allowed me to wear it without fear that I would be robbed. I used it again when we went to Disney World earlier this year and I will be using it again when I go to Toronto in a couple of weeks.

Comments about Travelon Messenger Shoulder Bag:

I was looking for a hands-free purse and found this one. I read the great reviews and decided to try it. It is wonderful. I love the over-the-shoulder strap because I have such narrow shoulders and other purses just slide right off; I also am the mother of two toddlers (that speaks for itself!). However, I only gave it four stars because the top opening of the big compartment inside is narrow, making it difficult to open the purse and see what's inside. It also does not have very sturdy inner pockets or a good place to put your keys. I attached a small carabiner to the outside of the purse to hang my keys on for quick and easy access (I was sick of digging through the purse). This makes a great, hands-free "mommy purse." Despite the negatives I've listed, I really like this purse, and would definitely buy it again.

This is the best type of purse, with the way the design lays across your frame. Perfect for International Travel. This one is great, and I am going to order the Leather one.

I specifically bought this item for a trip to Disney World and I loved it. It carried what I needed and allowed me to enjoy all the rides without to much bulk. I will be using it when my husband and I go on our anniversary cruise in May. I like the cell phone pocket right on the strap. It was easily accessible. Great bag.

The top of the interior compartment was narrower than the bottom of the bag, making it difficult to reach into the bag when it was full.

The height of the main compartment was almost enough to fit in 8 1/2" x 11" paper folded and put in sideways. It would have been helpful if it had been just a bit taller. When traveling I tend to carry a lot of print-outs with me (directions, itinerary, etc) and it would have made life easier if the main compartment was that much taller.

Overall, I made it work while on vacation, but when I returned home I switched to a different purse.

I used this bag when I traveled in Europe and it was great for day and night. I felt more safe with the crossover strap and the hidden pockets. I bought this same bag for my elderly mother who wanted a simple purse when she went out. She loved it and I ended up buying one for her two caregivers as well.

My sister in law was concerned about carrying a purse when she was going to watch a professional golf tournament. I loaned her the bag and she loved it. All the compartments allowed her to carry all the bare essentials including a water bottle. I ended up buying her one as a gift because she is going on a cruise and it will be perfect for all the sightseeing trips.

Comments about Travelon Messenger Shoulder Bag:

It holds all I need to carry and is a great organizer, with a place for everything and everything in its place. I very much like the bag and have had many positive comments about it. Only one detail I would like to see improved. The soft material of the inner pockets make it difficult to slide items into. A firmer, stiffer material that doesn't collapse when probed would make access easier.

needs more velcro to hold cell phone in better. I added a piece to lengthen the bottom part, so my phone stays secure.

I am using it everyday but I really bought it to take on vacation to Europe.
I like having my hands free to carry other things. This bag is very comfortable to use and my back and shoulders are feeling much better since I started using it. It is not very big but holds all I need to have on a daily basis.
