Versatile, practical, great for scootering : )
Purchased this for a trip to Vienna this summer for two main reasons:1. To use as a personal size item on the flights (Austrian Airlines has some pretty stringent size requirements)2. For use during my trip. The versatility of the smaller, fold-over size, or the larger tote size was very convenient. Easily held multiple items including a travel size umbrella and water bottle along with the “usual” purse items.The quality of construction, design and safety features makes this purchase well worth the reasonable price. I felt very comfortable keeping my passport, credit cards and cash with me. I can also see using this as a day-to-day purse, not just for travel.

Versatile anti-theft bag for travel
Loved this bag as soon as I opened the package. Pros: color choices, lighter color fabric inside so you can find stuff, easy to fit essentials and, when unfolded, can fit water bottle, has slash-proof bag/strap. The Vale is unique in that it has RFID protection on both sides of the bag so I felt safe storing my passport in one of the external pockets. The number of pockets and ability to secure external pockets was perfect. You could easily use this as a personal size bag for under the seat, but I used a larger backpack and fit the Vale (folded in half) into the backpack’s laptop sleeve. The Vale is casual but looks nice enough to take into a restaurant.Cons: No external water bottle pocket, not a deal breaker for me – I brought a reusable bottle that didn’t sweat so it didn’t matter if I put it inside the bag. No padding on the crossbody strap, so I bought a set of 2 removable strap pads from Amazon (advertised for backpacks and guitar straps) and put one on the crossbody strap. I used my smallest compression cube to fit a sweater and rain jacket in the Vale, which made it heavy, so in addition to wearing it crossbody, I would sometimes give that shoulder a rest by using the short strap on my other shoulder at the same time. The small red clasp that secures the main zipper was a little bit hard to open, so I used a small Nite Ize hook to connect it to the zipper.One of the photos shows the Soliel (left), the Vale, and the Geo (right) for size comparison. I loved the Soleil but it looked overwhelmingly huge on me when full, so I returned it. Kept the Geo to use as an everyday bag.The Vale was an excellent bag to take on a recent summer trip to England; it’s the most versatile travel bag that gives peace of mind – highly recommend!

Perfect in every way!
The Vale is even better than I hoped! I wanted a travel bag that was unobtrusive and not too large, yet could hold maps, a guidebook, water bottle, phone, iPad mini, charging cables, snack, wallet, and the day’s smaller purchases. The Vale fits the bill and more — plus looks great too.This bag holds far more than I expected. It is light yet incredibly durable; even cute — and surprisingly classy in a modern way. No bulk! Sleek enough to roll up or lie flat in luggage or a tote, my bag is carbon black with a cheerful bright lime green lining that makes it easy to find items deep inside, even in poor lighting. It offers LOTS of invisible and unobtrusive security features! These include integral RFID blocking, slash-proof bottom and strap, a security cable to allow locking to a chair, and clever zipper loops that if utilized, help deter would-be pickpockets. The two straps can be reconfigured so the Vale can be carried as a shoulder or crossbody bag, or as a tote. It can be flapped over if not carrying much, or the straps easily reconfigured in seconds to convert it to full size.Like the other reviewers, I can’t say enough good things about this incredibly versatile bag, which works for everyday as well as travel. The Vale offers so many features — it must be used to fully appreciate. It is absolutely perfect and I love-love-love it!

exactly as expected
I was looking for a purse that had style and functionality – I wanted something large enough to shove all my travel carry on stuff for travel but still function as a purse when I got to my destination. I love that I can do exactly that. The large middle pocket fits magazines and snacks, hairbrush, everything I need for travel – the inside zipper pocket works perfectly for my wallet during travel when I’m getting stuff out on the plane – 1 of the outer pockets had my travel ID which I kept zipped and next to my body, the other outside pocket had everything else including motion sick pills, hand sanitizer and lip balm. When I got to my destination I took all the big stuff out of the middle pocket, put the long strap in the bottom of the bag, and had a stylish handbag without having to bring an extra bag in my suitcase. The large pocket carried most of what I need but was pretty empty and stylish folded over and zipped up – nice clean lines and not floppy even folded over – until I stopped at the store and was able to put the long strap back on fill the purse with my purchases and not have a separate shopping bag! I love that the outside pockets are big enough to carry keys and essentials in one pocket I keep zipped, and there is yet another easily accessed outer pocket that fits a small water bottle. I am extremely happy with this purse – especially knowing that it has security features that give me peace of mind when I’m traveling.FYI the smaller outside pockets actually are big enough to carry a small handgun though I have not yet put velcro in it for a travel holster, but probably will do so – no worry about printing because of the thickness and drape of the material. And I was glad to find there was no problem getting through airport security xray even though the purse is slash resistant. Excellent purchase for me!

Nice bag.
This bag is very lightweight and well made with good security features but it’s very small and I had to return it. I think someone who needed a smaller bag would like it.

Great Purse
Love this bag. It looks stylish and has enough interior and exterior pockets to make it easy to organize. Love the clip for the keys. The size is perfect as it is roomy but not a large abyss where you loose everything.

It’s beautiful and stylish, with a lot of pockets, in time delivery as I have a short trip ahead.

Felt very secure traveling around with this bag. Lots of zips and locks and the fold-over top made it feel even more secure. 10/10

デザインも良く、A4サイズのファイルも余裕で入りました。荷物をたくさん入れるのでバッグが軽くて良かったです。ベルトの接続部がプラスチックの様でしたので金具でしたら破損の心配がないと思います。

Love this bag. It’s so cute. Just missing blocking clip on the top zipper.

Ordered the black and grey and love the lime green interior. I ordered this for a trip 8 months ago and love it so much I haven’t transitioned back to my other purse. It’s water resistant, easy to clean, wears well and I love the added security measures.
