Customer Reviews Pacsafe CitySafe™ 100 Travel Handbag

On the whole, this is an excellent handbag for traveling. It is large enough to carry essentials for trips but small enough that I don\'t have to check it at Art Museums. I like the pocket arrangement. On the outside I can put my cell phone and glasses case. On the inside there are two roomy zippered pockets and an small open pocket with a velcro strap where I put medication. There are three pen slots at one end. At the other end there is a small open pocket that would fit a few lipsticks or other small things. There are five credit card slots that each can hold multiple cards. It is a little difficult to see the credit cards inside the purse so I put the essential ones at the top. I can either fit a paperback book or my large camera but not both. A small camera would probably fit with a book but I have a digital camera with removable lenses that measures about 6 inches by 5 inches. For added protection, there is a latch on the strap that can be used to lock the external zipper shut. The latch goes through a loop and hooks onto the zipper pull making it hard to unlock the zipper. The style is a little more casual than I would like but for travel and shopping it\'s great.

I bought this bag for a weekend trip to NYC because I wanted something secure and lightweight that I could wear across my body. It was the perfect size for my wallet, phone, camera, sunglasses, and would even hold a scarf for chilly days. The inside zip pockets were great for medications and the cardholders were great for a room key. I would suggest the 100 for someone who wants to carry just the basics. If you would like a bag that would also hold a book or a couple of small packages, go for the 200 instead.

I love this purse. The strap is extra long. There are two outside pockets on either side. Multiple places to clip your keys, which I love since mine are heavy & sink to the bottom. Also, this is genius but the inside of the bag is a lighter color than outside so you can actually see what's in your purse. I have plenty of leftover room for extras after all my items are loaded. Worth the price. Note this is purse size bag; not laptop or book bag size. If you want that size, that's Pacsafe 200.

Bought this for a Med. cruise and it was wonderful. I was able to securely carry everything I needed for a day of sightseeing, including a camera. I would have preferred an outside pocket for maps and papers, but not the end of the world. I use it as an everyday purse. Ordering from Zappos was easy and QUICK.

The Pacsafe's features are exactly as promised in the product description. The locking zipper – GREAT. The slim pockets on the interior side panel are perfect for pens and you don't have to empty the bag to find something to write with. I'm very pleased with the materials and construction of this bag. The pockets on the interior make organization easy.

Fantastic bag - This great bag is just the right size, not too big and not too small. I have traveled extensively in the past few months: Paris, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Atlanta, all without incident. Nicely organized on the inside too, with cell phone area that fits the blackberry nicely, zippered pockets, key holder and side openings for easy to find items. Thanks for making this product!

Functional Bag - I got this bag for a recent trip. I carried the Pacsafe Tote 100 on the plane and had this packed to use after I arrived. It worked out perfectly. The bag goes across the body and I love not having to worry about safety because it makes the travel more enjoyable. Don't hesitate on this one. Also, the Tote is Wonderful too.

Pacsafe CitySafe 100 - Outside pockets could be larger, maybe elastized so something could be fit in them, otherwise very pleased with product.

Pac Safe Recommendation - This is a great bag for travel. I lengthened the strap to wear crosswise across my shoulder. It's a comfortable fit and roomy. There's a clever clip on the zipper to prevent someone from unknowingly slipping it open. The cut proof materials on the bag and strap... brilliant.

City Safe 100 - I like the overall size, materials and safety features but the shape isn't quite right. I wish it was a little shorter and wider. Things fall to the bottom and are hard to find. The outside pockets on the sides just barely hold a cell phone and for a travel bag it would be nice to have a water bottle pocket. The key clip inside is inside a zipper pocket so it is hard to access.

I bought this bag to use on a trip to Italy after being warned of pickpockets there. The bag had plenty of handy compartments inside with zippers. Lot of room for wallet, maps makeup, etc. The outside zippers hooks closed. I love the cross body strap. It is very roomy and stylish.

What a wonderful bag! The taupe color is a great match for most of my clothing. Extra holders keep all of my belongings in place. I have yet to figure out how to keep the strap the length I want, but I'll figure it. Also, it falls over at the slightest excuse, but I'm learning to take the extra second to place it where it won't fall. Otherwise, I love it.

This is a perfect travel bag. All the safety features make it super-safe to carry around. The size is a little smaller than it looks online, but I am actually happy that it is. It is large enough to carry all your documents, wallet, some make up, and a bottle of water without being awkwardly heavy or uncomfortable. I had no problems with the strap, once you adjust it to the perfect length its fine. Overall the quality and safety features make it well worth buying.

I decided to buy this bag at the last minute (which you can do with Zappos' awesome customer service and overnight delivery!) for a trip to Italy, and was not at all disappointed! I am not understanding the other reviews that say the strap is too stiff. It is adjustable so you can make it the perfect fit for your body. I wore it as a cross-body and even with a couple of phones, a camera, currency, passports, a map and a small makeup bag, it was very comfortable, not at all cumbersome and I had the benefit of being completely hands-free! I love the various slots and pockets that help keep things separate and organized. It is very durable and still looks brand new. I've even continued to use it since we've been back, instead of my Coach shoulder bag which now feels so bulky! If I were to add one thing, it would be to have a pocket that could accommodate a water bottle, but that might take away from the sleek, streamlined style and intention of the bag. Overall, I would highly recommend it!

The city safe 100 made a compact and lightweight day bag during a recent one-week trip. The light khaki (my first choice) was not available but the dark. Taupe blended in great with a casual wardrobe. I use a big purse everyday but didn't want to carry around a lot of weight so opted for the 100 instead of the 200, and packed other essentials in my carry on during flights (downsized my wallet to a Fossil pop stitch to fit in the purse with the rest of my things). I can see where the 200 city safe bag would have the room needed for a longer or overseas trip, but this purse was very handy & plan on using it for future trips. Hope this helps.

I used this bag for a recent trip to Europe, and I love it! I felt much safer knowing that the zipper was locked to the bag and harder to open. I also love the fact that I could lock it to a chair while eating - and could strap together other bags we were carrying around so they were secure, too!

Great size and design. How about more colors?? I'd buy one if taupe and tomato weren't the only choices.

Bought this bag for a trip to NYC and loved it. I am short, so I was glad that the strap was easily adjustable. It fit everything I needed, including a full size wallet. And I thought it was stylish enough to wear with anything. Highly recommend for traveling.

Just used this bag on a 5 week trip overseas. It was ideal, and I loved being able to clip the Pacsafe wallet to the interior of the bag. The outside zipper clip worked really well, along with the holder for my bottles of water. I am continuing to use it as my daily bag now that I have returned.

I bought this bag because of its perfect shape and size for me, not originally for the security features. I have come to enjoy the organization it offers with key clips and rings inside and have used the strap clip to secure to a chair in a busy pub. I wish the strap had a little bit of "non-slip" as, when worn as a straight shoulder bag, it slips off easily.

Just took this bag to 6 cities in 5 countries in 3 weeks and it was PERFECT. Its features allow for total flexibility, there are tons of pockets, but it is small enough to be unobtrusive. It's great. I love it.

Love this bag! It is just the right size for a small bottle of water, my travel wallet, keys, cellphone and sunglasses. It goes across the body and because it is smaller than a big shoulder bag, I can't fill it up enough to cause shoulder pain. It has various pockets for organizing on the inside. The color goes with everything, too!

This bag was the perfect size for a travel purse. It has space for credit cards, two inside zipper pockets where I kept my passport and miscellaneous stuff. In addition, there's a velcro section that was the perfect size for my Blackberry. I was confused when I purchased this bag. I thought it was possible to lock it up and prevent a thief from opening the bag. This is not possible, but the bag offers great protection from slash and grab thieves. I felt very secure carrying the bag.

I really like this bag. The fact that it looks like a "regular" bag is nice - it doesn't scream "HIDDEN SECURITY FEATURES". If you are thinking of buying it, you need to keep in mind that it isn't huge - I can fit my essentials (cell phone, wallet, keys, camera, etc) with a little extra room to spare - and not having it too full that I am not able to find anything.

We travel a great deal. I previously purchased the Pacsafe CitySafe 200 and love it, but it is a little large for daily travel use (I tend to overfill it & it will hold a lot!). I purchased this CitySafe 100 for day touring around town, and already find it absolutely perfect. My cell fits in one of the outside side pockets and my camera fits in the other. The inside holds wallet, sun glasses, cosmetics, etc., with room for my husband\'s sunglasses as well. I also bought the tote and use it as my airline "personal item" since it has been designed to fit over the handle of a carry-on bag, and the strap can secure bag, tote and arm of chair together in the airport. All the safety features are great, and I use them as designed. The tote fits beautifully on my shoulder, and I am using it when not traveling as a very comfortable book bag. All-in-all a well designed and useful product(s).
