I use a small Travelon crossbody. It has cut proof straps and no slash material on the body of the purse. . It also has locking mechanisms on all the zippered pockets. It has a locking mechanism on the straps so you can lock it to a chair or table. The best $30 I have ever spent on travel accessories. It has been all over the world and in some high pickpocket areas. It has never failed me

I tell at least 10 women a day, that their bag is open and I can actually see their wallet. We have had at least 1 every other month robbed because the bag was wide open.

Thanks again for the tips. Finding that nice, silky Travelon bag for purchase in July was impossible. So, I compromised. We went for a two+ week trip to Ireland and the UK, flying Aer Lingus and Ryan Air, with Carry Ons only. I ended up buying and using a small PacSafe brand Cross Body for my cards, passport and keys. The locks on the zippers are a different design but served the purpose for safety and security. It was essentially my secret 3rd bag to my personal bag (Backpack) and rollaboard. When we were out touring and I needed more capacity, I just kept the valuables in the PacSafe and wore an Addidas string backpack that was easy to fit in my carryon or backpack. They are easy to wear in front, also. The string backpack double-dutied for storing my electronics inside the personal bag. I pulled the 'electronics bag' out for the flight and stored everything else in the overhead. I sat in an aisle seat on an Aer Lingus A-330 that had a metal box at my feet, impeding the under seat storage. It's surprising how strategic one needs to be with accessories when traveling carry on only.

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Sure. SeatGuru provides intel on seats and actually identified the boxes in the row I was seated in. I had to dig a bit to find a picture of the under-seat space. Aer Lingus doesn't give passengers a heads up. They just specify a really small carry on bag size, which few people complied with BTW. The A330 had a 2, 4, 2 configuration and allowed me to sit in an aisle seat next to my son. In the future, I'm going to consult Seat Guru before I choose my seats, especially on the low budget/international carriers.

It holds everything I need (my wallet, emergency med pouch, knitting, as well a number of other things I have in there for no reason 😂) and still doesn’t seem full. I took it to a summer camp and used it as the bag I carried around. The only time I have gotten concerned about it being too full and the zipper popping (thankfully it didn’t) was when I put all of my charging cords, charging blocks, etc in there to travel with. Not doing that again, I’ll probably just pack it in my suitcase and take something different to put my “things to do” in a different bag if I want to use my kavu on vacation. I know there’s a lot of other off brands to the kavu bags that’s probably cheaper than a true Kavu (Vera Bradley also has one but it’s probably more expensive)

Hi, is this it: bit.ly/3OQTYxX

Lululemon festival bag is the one i use

I bought the second purse after watching one of your videos. That crossbody from Amazon broke when I was at Blarney Castle in Ireland. Thank goodness there was a second hand store right there in town. I found a crossbody for four Euros and threw the broken one away.

Oh yay glad you found one! Yep these have all been put through the ringer and have been great quality for travel bags.

Thanks for your support!

I am constantly looking for crossbody bags that can travel well and also waist bags that can also be crossbody bags. Your choices help especially that last one. I have one like it but the zipper sucks. Thank you for this video. Wisconsin is too what now? Didn’t catch the reference. Cheers!

Ahhh we loved Wisconsin! Finding bags with good zippers is so difficult. Yes, these were awesome!

I really enjoyed this. What is the brand of the first one shown with the V shape design on the front slip? How much does it weigh ?

Crossbody bags, one model they call them banana bags because of the shape - are very much in fashion here in Europe now. Very practical.

I still have Fanny packs from the 90’s lol. Never thought they’d come back! Love the black one but I already have too much chest 😂

I would love to work with them.

So many great choices ! So I went to your Amazon store & sent a few suggestions to the hubby. I want the straw clutch in your store, the scissors & the list just goes on. Now I need to find the soft blush (with purple interior) bag. No more fanny packs, but maybe a belly bag or Waist wallet ~ Hello Aullie & Nathan & Laurie (you're almost to 150,000 K 👀 ) And I want to be on that fun girl trip ~ W.

Hi Streamer!! I love all the braided and straw bags, but they are just not practical for me. Soft blush? Was it the champagne colored one I was holding for a while? It is much prettier in person than the site shows: bit.ly/3HNQLg1

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie That one is pretty, but it's the Travelon in sable (smaller) at 2:00. The straw clutch would work here in Charleston and I found a tiny bag yesterday so I'll post on IG. I justified it with the use of birthday $ 😉

I still swear by my Pacsafe anti-theft purses that can be worn cross-body. Both of my purses have been to Europe a few times and they have all I need. Sure, they may not be the prettiest bags you've ever seen, but my peace of mind is worth more than style.

Laurie - is there a link for the backpacks? or the nice blue bag you showed?

Such a wealth of information that I'm overwhelmed. Having trouble figuring out which link is to the purses you are demonstrating. Maybe number the links in order to the purses you are demonstrating. I'm traveling overseas for the first time and am just overwhelmed to figure out which is the best purse/daypack to take. Which backpack/daypack would be good for a few outfits should checked luggage get lost? I think I'll miss the sale for prime day.

Hi Shirley. So sorry that it is confusing. If it helps, you can click on the links while watching or listening to the video. I try to list them in order and will do numbers in the future.

I'm really tall and the only crossbody I could find with a long enough strap is by Kipling. I just bought a belt bag by Calpak and it's nice but your Amazon one has way more pockets and is less than half the cost and it looks dressier too!

Hi Anne, if it has a separate lens, I only like Peak Design, but if it is a small one, this really is the perfect size for camera and essentials: bit.ly/3WfLs00

I am really enjoying your videos as we get ready for our European vacation but I am very disturbed about the thought of someone trying to slash a purse strap off my body!! Wow. I don’t want to go wherever they do that for sure. TY for all the info!

I actually have a question about under the seat personal items. I will be flying to Europe via Aer Lingus and their size limit for a personal item is only 10 x 13 x 8. Has anyone traveled with them who can tell me if they're super strict about the size?

Isn’t it awful strict for bags? I think a backpack would be fine for under the seat but it is just awful not knowing how strict they are.

Baggalinni are my favorite brand6

How heavy/light was the taupe colored crossbody in this video?
