Customer Reviews Pacsafe CitySafe™ 200 Travel Handbag

Perfect traveler - This Pacsafe was perfect for a two week trip to Italy. The feature I liked most was the security from slashing and theft. Secondly, even though it was packed full with guide books, water and personals, it rode comfortably on the body and the strap distributed the weight so well, I wasn't tugging all the time. Not chic, but practical. The outer pocket held the tiny folding umbrella, then a water bottle. It had two inner pockets to keep passport, cash and credit cards safe and other pockets for smalls. The outer pocket on the other end is a perfect fit for a cell phone, or in my case, a bottle of sun block. No more trips without it.

CitySafe 200 - I feel totally secure when carrying this bag. Nobody is going to be filching my stuff while I'm sightseeing! I bought the black and its low key and attractive, although it is definitely a casual bag. A smaller size in the same material would be ok as a more "evening" bag, but this one has too much of a school bag feel for that. I love all of the pockets, my stuff is completely organized and I can find everything. I agree with some of the other reviews about the strap being a little bit rough on my neck after a while, but wear a collared shirt or jacket, and this problem is eliminated. Overall, this is a great bag, and I'm looking forward to carrying it around the UK this Fall.

My second one. I love this bag for travel and daily use. It's the perfect size for me at 5'9" while not being big enough to carry too much which hurts my back. Easy to wipe clean. I will buy additional PacSafe products.

Great travel purse - This is a terrific travel purse - lightweight, roomy enough for bottle of water, small wallet, collapsible umbrella, lightweight sweater or pashmina, camera, travel docs, some snacks and a few cosmetics. And very safe! Could be used for a small carry-on, but really a purse. Good looking enough to use everyday too, and material will stay clean. Also - I can fit my small laptop in it and will use it for school too.

Great bag! I ordered this bag for a trip to London later this summer. I put my usual "stuff" in it for a trial run last month, and I am still carrying this as my everyday bag. After carrying rather heavy leather bags for years, this bag is VERY light weight which has had the unexpected bonus of being helpful for a slightly bad back condition. Plus, it has lots of organizational features. I have it in the dark taupe color (like a chocolate brown) which has a black stripe on the strap, black zippers and hardware, so I carry it for both black and brown outfits. Love this bag, and am definitely on the lookout for other Pacsafe products.

Pros: lots of zipped pockets/compartments, the safety clip is a neat idea. Cons: looks too tacky to use for work (would be fine for casual/tourists), the shoulder strap is too thin.

Pacsafe CitySafe 200 handbag - Overall the purse was great. I used it on vacation in New York and felt very safe. There are 2 additional features I wish the purse had: 1) instead of 2 small pouches in the back of the purse, replace it with 1 large pouch. I needed to carry maps, brochures, etc and they would have been more accessible on the outside of the purse instead of opening the purse each time to get to them. Also, a light padded shoulder rest on the strap would make the purse much more comfortable. Since the purse is large enough to put a lot of things in it, it can get a little heavy. I put a shoulder rest from another duffle bag on it and it was so much more comfortable and the shoulder rest stays in place on your shoulder, which allows the strap to move/slide as you walk, especially when you wear the strap across your chest.

CitySafe 200 - This bag was perfect for traveling. The only complaint I have is that the strap is uncomfortable. It could use padding. There is plenty of room and almost enough compartments for my taste. It has lots of room. I like the feeling of security that I got when traveling because of the slash proof bottom and strap. The look is more function than style. All in all it's a great purse for travel

Great travel bag - I purchased this bag for overseas travel. The size is perfect. Some reviews here say it's too small, but if you can’t fit everything you need in this bag, you are packing WAY too much for travel. If you want to use it for a laptop, Pacsafe have a heap of bags designed for this purpose which would be better. This is a great day bag alternative to a backpack for urban travel and is super secure with a great organization system inside. The downside: straps are a bit thin with no shoulder cushion, but the fact that its lightweight and that you cant fit too much unnecessary rubbish in it makes up for that a little.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The bag holds a great deal, but when it has the usual stuff in it, it loses its shape. I\'ll probably use it for travel but I don\'t see it becoming an everyday bag. On the other hand I\'m notoriously tough on the looks of a bag. These days your bag is a personal statement as well as a reliable means of carrying all your personal effects safely and comfortably.

Glorified purse - This might make a good purse to travel with, but is nowhere nearly big enough for a carry-on. Even an 8 x 10 notebook makes it difficult to zip up. Nice bag, but WAY too small. Needs more vertical height and much more depth.

I bought this purse at my daughters recommendation. She has a tan one, so I ordered the red one. However, I just don\'t like it like she does. It seems to be stiff and too wide from side to side for me. The pockets and organization is great, but the zipper pulls are hard to get a hold of. You end up breaking your nails trying to get them. I sent it back.

I love this purse! I bought this for a trip to Mexico earlier this year. I was really worried about safety and theft so I started looking into safe purses. I love the protection this provides, all the added security features, and the material. Now it's serving me as an everyday purse.

I was very happy with this bag while in Europe. It looks smart and gave me an extra sense of security. It helped me to relax about all the scary stories you hear about pick pocketing, etc. It's also a very nice size, not too big yet roomy.

I bought this to replace an identical one I've had for 3 or 4 years now. It meets my requirements for an ideal travel handbag: adjustable shoulder strap, zippable interior pocket, and can fit a magazine/paperback, umbrella, packable rain jacket, and water bottle. I've really come to appreciate the slashproof and other security features too - when I'm on the Mexico City metro, for example, I'll just take the extra time to lock the zipper. Now that I have a Macbook Air, it also easily fits in this bag, making it a reasonable briefcase replacement for work trips as well. The red color is key for me, as the other colors look super boring for my tastes. I won't say that this is a stylish bag, particularly not for everyday use when not traveling. But considering how functional it is, I think it's pretty close to perfect.

I bought this bag in black in 2010 for a trip to Italy. It held everything and is light, although I really loaded it up. I did clip it to my chair at outdoor cafes and that worked well. We saw pickpockets casing the crowds from time to time so it was nice to feel safe. I agree with other reviews that it only holds small water bottles, but a travel umbrella fits well. Funniest thing is that in our tour group, three other women had identical bags! We all loved it.

This bag is exactly what I wanted for travel. It is lightweight, roomy, and well organized. Its neutral color goes with everything. Best of all is that your belongings are safe!

I bought these purse in burgundy for my mom and black for myself. We both love it! Perfect size for a road trip - enough room for a wallet, camera, make up, water bottle and a small umbrella. Just perfect!

I love this purse. I bought it in black last year for my trip to Spain and it was perfect - plenty of room for everything and the safety features cannot be beat. So, this year I bought one in tan for another European trip this year. Again, I love this purse. Cannot say enough great things about it!

Love this bag! Great pockets inside and out and the extra long strap is wonderful and super simple to adjust. Roomy on the inside, with zipper pockets to keep my valuables safe. This bag will go on every trip I take!

Got this for my daughter who was traveling in Europe. She loved it. Lots of pockets and storage for your items. She is an organizer and this was the bag for her!

This is a great purse: good size, light weight, the brown color goes with almost anything (well, maybe not for summer), well made. There is what looks like double stitching on the strap; but close inspection revealed it was where some loops on the backside were stitched on. I use this for my everyday bag; room to carry all the necessities and more.

This is a fabulous bag for traveling. I purchased this for a trip to Europe and it is just the right size. I opted for Black and my boyfriend didn't even mind carrying it on our day trips. There are plenty of pockets to easily organize your phone, camera, water bottle, travel books, etc.

Fabulous bag for travel, with all the safety features. Lots of room for books, travel guides, a bottle of water, etc. Inside compartments make it easy to find your MP3 player, phone, credit cards, a small camera or keys.

This is exactly what I wanted for my trip abroad. Not too big but roomy enough to hold all that I'll need. As always, Zappos' service is excellent. I order something and it's here within 36 hours. No joke. The few things I've had to return have been without any trouble. The staff is always polite and helpful. I will be shopping with Zappos well into the future.
