Customer Reviews Pacsafe CitySafe™ 200 Travel Handbag

I love this bag and plan to use it on an upcoming month long trip to Europe. I have the smaller bag, the "100", in black that I used last year to Alaska and Europe and it was perfect then. Now however, I needed something a little bigger due to the colder climate. It can hold two eyeglass cases, a camera, umbrella, water bottle, gloves, and makeup like lipstick, mirror, comb, blush in one big inside pocket, and there is another even bigger inside side pocket that I plan to put my passport, wallet, etc in. Even with all of this stuff inside it, it still looks sleek and not obnoxious tourist. This bag I got in the brown color and it looks great. I love that it is so light, yet cannot cut it with knife. When I was in Rome several years ago, I did see young teen girls in packs try to rip off tourists. This bag is about the size of a messenger bag. There is a very large zipper pocket that I will probably use for maps and souvenirs. So much room yet looks sleek.

Well designed -- love it! This bag is awesome -- attractive, nice neutral color, and perfect for trips and everyday use. This size is perfect for my 5'8" frame. The security features are so well thought out that even the inside zippers lie flat, making them concealed. I can find everything, and my bag stays neat. You can use or choose not to use all the neat features that would make it very difficult or impossible for pickpockets. I use this bag every day, and am glad it is made to last!

Best bag I ever purchased. Lightweight, durable, attractive, safe. I wear it crossbody. The compartments are ideal and safe.

I loved the bag, but it was just too large for me. will order the 100 model. Wish there was a size in between with an outside pouch large enough for a water bottle. Zappo's, as always, is wonderful. I don't live near large shopping areas, so Zappos is great---and you never argue with me!

Best bag ever! I read all the reviews before I ordered this bag. It is everything that all the reviewers said it is: great size, plenty of compartments to keep things in order and it's light and attractive. I'd love to see a leather version of this bag.

This is fantastic - I am a purse hound. I own lots and lots of pretty, high end, name brand purses but always find the really pretty purses to not have any functionality to them. This one not only looks nice but has great organizational function as well. I love all of the compartments and it is very comfortable to carry.

I ordered the deep taupe. I was kind of hesitant at first because I thought it looked a bit shiny online, but once it arrived, it looks great! It's a bit darker, too, but it looks good with both black and brown. I think it's a good size and has lots of inside organization, but I agree there could be more outside pockets.

Great travel bag - I took this with me for a week long trip to London and Paris. It’s lightweight and very secure. The strap is easily adjustable and I was able to wear it overhead and across the body. The top zipper can be secured with a small clip located on the inside of the strap making it impenetrable to pick pockets. There are two interior zipped pockets for travel documents, tickets, etc. plus two zipped exterior as well perfect for cell phones and metro cards. It’s the perfect size, not to small and not too large. I only did one night and two days in Paris and decided to leave my suitcase in London. I packed my pajamas, under garments, a scarf and toiletries in the bag to travel lightly. I usually go shopping for a bag each time I take a major trip but I won't bother anymore. This is the bag I wish I’d found ten years ago, it's perfect.

Wonderful travel purse - I really put this purse through a test. I just got back from 8 day tour and it held up beautifully, hard rain, etc. It is very easy to find things in it. I am totally satisfied with it.

Great travel bag - I spent 2 weeks traveling in England and found this bag very useful. The outside pockets on the end held my sunglasses and either a water bottle or my travel umbrella (yes, it rained!). The outside front pocket was great for my tube pass and train tickets. The inside was spacious, with room for my travel guide and small things I bought. My only complaint is that I would have liked another compartment for travel papers. Although large, the bag isn't cumbersome and the fabric is waterproof and easy to wipe clean. I'm still using it and may buy the smaller version for home. I thought it was a great value.

I bought this for a trip to France. Very pleased with it. Good size to carry all I needed without overloading it. Ability to carry it across the body was very helpful. It is now my new essential for any trip (including domestic travel).

This is exactly what I've been looking for and is exactly as pictured and described online. It's light weight, roomy, comfortable on my shoulder, and I love the outside pockets. It is also well priced.

I bought this for a trip to Italy that we just returned from. This bag was perfect for traveling. It is especially stylish. While it is not super big it does carry a lot and is safe, durable and travels well.

This is my second Pacsafe. I really like them. knowing that the construction of these bags make for better security I feel safer using these bags for everyday use as well as traveling.

This is a great bag for travel! It really holds a lot, and does not look big. Spills wipe right off. Originally I was worried it would be too big, and looked at a smaller bag. I am glad that I got the larger one. Since it is a soft, flexible material, it does compress a bit if needed. Good srap length to wear as cross-body or shoulder bag. I wish it came in more colors.

I just returned from a week in Nepal and I had this handbag with me every minute of the way. It's great. Someone put a lot of thought into its design; perfect size and capacity, lightweight, durable, attractive, and versatile, fabulous compartments; all this AND secure. Really, I cannot think of a single way to improve it. I have one in black and one in brown.

I like this bag, but it's a little bulky for an everyday bag (which is what I needed). It has all the great features of the Pacsafe tote, which is a little larger and perfect for travel. Very well designed and sturdy.

This bag is great -- well made and practical. Inside, there are organizational pockets to hold everything I need plus a roomy main compartment that is large enough for books and magazines. The outside zippered pocket is well designed and roomy as well. The bag appears to be well-made. The fabric is durable and the strap stays on my shoulder. In addition, the strap is long enough to adjust to wear across my chest for security and is comfortable worn that way. I expect to be using this bag for many years. The description written on Zappos seems to be very accurate! I would recommend this bag highly.

I purchased this bag in red for a trip to Barcelona (known for its pickpockets) and Paris. The bag was perfect for travel. It has many useful pockets on both its interior and exterior (I used the exterior pockets for an umbrella, sunglasses, fan and water bottle.) It was also roomy and light enough to carry my iPad along with all of my other paraphernalia without feeling weighted down. The cross body strap was easily adjusted. The fabric is durable, water resistant.

I have this bag in red and black. It's fantastic. I love it for traveling and for every day use. I can fit my video camera, digital camera, iPod, phone, notepad, sunglasses, and so much more all in this bag and it doesn't feel too heavy. Plus my umbrella fits on the side (though I think I'm using the water bottle pocket for my umbrella since I don't have a flat umbrella). I highly recommend this bag!

I bought it for an upcoming trip & haven't used it yet but it looks sturdy and the right size for me. I'm glad I got it.

Love the bag. I bought it to go on travel and keep safe from pesky pickpocketers. The compartments are convenient; the bottle holder snaps away so it doesn't bulge out when not in use; it's a good size. The pockets for cards is the only one that seems useless. I wish they'd put either another large pocket or pockets for pens. Sometimes I wish it were a little wider, but I think any bigger and it would just get too heavy for me. The padding very thick, so I feel it's secure with their slash resistant technology. However, it's really thick padding and I sometimes wish it could be thinner/lighter.

Will use this bag for my upcoming trip. I will be able to fit my purse inside for the actual travel on the plane to condense how much I carry on the plane and on to the hotel, etc. This bag provides a compact way to carry all my personal items including papers, snacks and a book and has 2 side pouches to hold a water bottle and a small umbrella. Fairly lightweight and comfortable worn across the body or as a shoulder bag.

I just used this handbag for a trip to Europe and highly recommend it. I was able to fit all my everyday purse essentials plus a jacket and more inside, and the two exterior pockets on each end were perfect for a travel umbrella and water. I bought this bag because I was going to be using the Paris metro, where I have witnessed more than one pickpocketing episode. The crossbody strap, zippered top that can be clipped shut, and all the other safety features of PacSafe bags made it the perfect worry-free bag. The messenger-bag styling has clean lines and is one of the more attractive travel handbags I've found, but is a bit casual for me to use as an everyday bag.

I had bought this product about a year ago to travel to Europe. During my trip the hook in the handle broke and the bag fell to the ground. My husband somehow fixed it but the handle was twisted. I called Zappos to ask about the possibility of repairing it, but the lady who helped me offered to replace the bag free of charge! So now I have a new bag plus the old one (because I was told I didn't need to return it). I am more than pleased with Zappos' service and I would recommend it to anyone.
