Really happy with my purchase. Great security features while still looking stylish. Being able to change the straps is a great way to easily change the look of the bag.

I purchased this tote to use as both my carry on item for the plane and to use as a daily bag on an upcoming trip. So happy with it. Lots of pockets for organisation, Tina of security features and it looks so stylish. Customer service was excellent and my parcel arrived in Australia really quickly.

I'm so glad that I purchased this bag for traveling through Europe! It offers lots of space, security and I used it every day. I will also continue using it as my day-to-day bag. It's great!

Received it today, finally..but it kinda small for me. I can fit the card, bills, coins, a tissue, wet tissue, keys. But I am unable to put slim portable charger and phone and I won't be able to zip it. Overall the design is nice, zip is tight due to waterproof zip, definitely need 2 hand to close the wallet.love the bag but kinda small for me. Love the feel of my stuff is being secure.

LOVE this bag for traveling! I bought it originally to bring on trips to areas with more petty crime, but now I just take it on every trip because it is so functional and the peace of mind is great. It is nice enough to wear out to fancy dinners, but plain enough to not attract pickpockets and look good with jeans and a t-shirt.

So Smart! Love the packing compartment, you can fit a ton in here. I like to use the Marie Kondo folding method to get it nice and neatly packed, and when you zipper it closed it all stays in place. I was so happy to just open my backpack flat and be able to access everything - no more digging around to fish for a sock at the bottom of my backpack! You get all the connivence of backpack with the perks of a luggage! + my Kindle fits in the laptop compartment's small pocket perfectly so it's padde...

This is the cutest little bag! I’m 5’4” and went with the 20” chain strap, and kind of wish I had gone with the 22” instead, but it’s not a big deal. These bags are beautifully made, and the mini crossbody is a great addition to my purse collection. It fits all of my necessary day-to-day items, such as my cards, chapstick, hand sanitizer, keys, and even a little compact hairbrush! I can’t wait to travel with it once we are able to safely travel again!

Waiting to be able to travel again. I wanted it for the hip pack feature. Although, I found that if I’m wearing a slim jacket I like wearing it as a sling. Nice for a date night as a small shoulder bag or clutch too!!

Best purse EVER This purse is completely perfect for my lifestyle - every day and travel activities. It is the only purse I now own and it is the last one I will ever buy. Since I viewed it as an investment and saved up for it, (I did not take the price lightly) this bag was well worth the wait. Extremely high quality and a design that clearly a lot of thought went into (from a woman) makes it an undeniably essential part of my life.

Best bag I have ever owned!! I ordered my first one about 2 years ago (blue), thought is was cute and liked the features. This is my go-to bag, it carries everything I need and is compact, I love the compartments and the stylishness of it. I get complements all the time about what a cute bag it is. Like it so much I ordered another one (burgandy) about 6 months ago, for something different, and just ordered a black one for fall and winter. Mind you there is nothing wrong with the other 2, I...

Functionality with Style I have been on a mission to find a wristlet or hip bag with RFID and anti-slash protection for an extremely long time. I've come across many that just weren't my style, or if they were, they were not "safe-traveler friendly". I was pleasantly surprised when I found Arden Cove. They have many different styles and colors that provide everything that I was looking for in a travel bag. I love the versatility in the Marina Grande. I can wear it as a hip bag, cross body, wrist...

Amazing Quality! Gorgeous Style! I received these bags in incredible condition and very good packaging so they were not damaged AT ALL during shipping. There was a little blip during the shipping but Karin fixed it ASAP. She’s incredible. My first impression of this set was WOW. They’re so gorgeous and they’re such good quality. I’m so excited to use these as I’m a frequent traveler because of work’ they’re also so professional looking they go with everything.

The only purse I need! I have been using this bag as my ONLY purse for a full year now. I travel full time and my #1 priority is to keep my belongings and my information safe, so this purse is a game changer for me. I love the cut-proof chain, the slash-proof material, it's waterproof and it keeps RFID readers from stealing my credit card info. I get compliments on it all the time as I wear it through Europe, Asia, Canada and the States! The midi size is perfect for me as it holds all my cards...

Best travel hand bag I love this hand bag! I got the larger size and everything about it is perfect. I don't think there's anything that could be done better. The inbuilt wallet saves so much space. The handle on the chain feels so good, I thought it would be hard and stiff like other ones but it moulds to your shoulder for perfect comfort and is flexible. I use it as my everyday handbag now as well. I got compliments on it straight away. Really good customer service too. Thanks Arden Cove for ...

Great bag, glad I got both sizes. I purchased the full size one in cream and was a little nervous since light colored purses are so hard to keep looking nice. No worries with this one since it is so easy to just use a little soap and water and wash off any marks or dirt. The chain doesn't get tangled either and is very comfortable. It holds everything I need and when I feel like using something smaller I love the mini in navy. It is small and convenient but still very attractive. These are d...

I waited until I actually traveled with my Elise crossbody to write a review. This bag is AMAZING! It is so roomy, elegant looking and well designed - it fits a TON of stuff. My favorite feature is how the zipper goes all the way around to allow the bag to open completely - makes it so easy to see inside and get things out. I actually bought a second color. Cannot recommend the Elise enough!

I have had my bag for about 6 months. I bought it as a travel bag, but I ended up using it as my everyday purse. I am able to fit everything I need for the day in my bag. I was worried about the hardware holding up because it feels like light plastic. I think I was worried for nothing because after six months of daily use it still looks and works great! Overall I am really happy with my purchase!

After an enormous amount of time researching crossbody anti-theft purses, I came across Arden Cove. I purchased the classic with a locking strap and chain strap. It is such a cute purse and pickpocket proof. I traveled across Europe for three weeks and no one even attempted to pickpocket me. In fact sometimes it was hard for me to open the purse myself. I was worried it would be too big, but it was the perfect size. In hindsight I would not have purchased the chain strap since I hardly used...

So perfect for my work trips! I got tired of carrying the rolly bag everywhere and a backpack is just so much faster and easier for me to hop off the plane into a cab. No more lifting up and down stairs or kicking suitcases around. I fit 3 days of work clothes and work laptop easily. It looks professional and beautiful. They really thought out everything so well!

Absolutely stunning and spacious! I'm teacher I have to be carrying my laptop as well as all my papers for grading, and this tote is absolutely perfect choice for work! Worth the money! I am very happy with it and highly recommend it. I love that I can use it for my travel as well this summer.

This tote fit a LOT and it's easy to opens wide to see everything. I love how it looks, very pretty yet classy. Front pocket has lots of pockets to stay organized and fits my phone (Pixel XL) in the wall pocket with my case. But it is snug incase you have a large otterbox case it might not fit in the same pocket, there is a larger wall pocket inside the large compartment which will fit larger phone cases. The laptop sleeve fits my 13" laptop well, and i love how there is another padded sleeve fo...

This super wallet has all the things I've been searching for in a bag/wallet: practical function (LOVE all the pockets/dividers!), RFID & locking features, stylish (because, DUH), and Arden Cove also has a short strap option for us shorties! I've used the Grande Marina while traveling as well as everyday and it fits the essentials when I don't want to lug around a bigger handbag. Can't recommend this enough!!

Love the confidence it gave my mom while traveling to Mexico City; however, the clip for the small zipper came off when she was in her vehicle (here in socal) trying to adjust the seat belt. She feels she can't use it anymore and feels like the cost is too high in relation to the use she gave it before breaking. I think it is still usable as the zipper still works but there is no clip so the safety feature is gone and the little bit of chain is still too short to use with her fingers.

The Elise crossbody is a wonderful and sturdy bag! It was shipped well secured and expeditiously. It’s a great lightweight bag to pack just a few of my necessities that doesn’t weigh me down.

Was planning a trip to Paris and all the blogs and people were talking about the pickpockets so I wanted a small stylish purse that was waterproof and anti-theft without looking anti-theft. The Crissy crossbody fit my requirements so I figured why not. It was smaller then I thought but I was able to fit A LOT in here: cash, 3 credit cards, hotel key, passport, travel card, chapstick, small bottle of sunblock, mini toiletry bags of tampons/pads, airbuds, 2 power banks, collapsible shopping bag an...

I am planning on using this for my trip to visit my best friend in New Mexico. It is so great I love all the features with it and hope to be a bit more organized than with my previous travel backpack. Thank you so much for the prizes inside my backpack as well Carmen. Really sweet and thoughtful. I love all of my purchases from Arden Cove. Great company and really well thought out designs for travel or everyday.

If Mary Poppins had a travel purse, this would be it! I used the Carmel backpack purse for a 7 day trip to Ireland that included 6 plane rides. It's so versatile, I was able to pack it specifically with the items I needed for the plane, then re-pack it for walking around rainy Dublin. At one point, I fit 2 passports, 8 cards, 2 phones, 2 packable raincoats (YES! - 2), a pill organizer, 2 pens, chapstick, lotion, and probably something else I can't remember. I love the RFID protection and felt su...

NOT an old lady travel bag! Love how I can fit everything in it. Wish it came in a brown colour, my fav neutral. And wish they would make a purse, not a backpack, in new sizes for personal item on airlines ie 13”h x 6”w x17”l. Please! Worth every $.

Very happy with this strap! I own the other straps from arden cove, I would say this is the most comfortable since it is wide yet flexible. It doesn't have the wire like the faux leather straps but since it is wide I am fine with that. The locking clasps looks great. Note they do not stop, you just twist until the opening is closed and stop. It doesn't move or slide, stays put. The logo is subtle and the strap feels very luxe comparable to my luxury brand jacquard straps. I would wear this for l...

Brought this to Italy October 2019 pre Covid. Loved the bag and the 2 straps, one for day and the chain for night. Unfortunately a clasp broke. Pulled it out last month and decided to inquire about a new clasp. Immediate response from Karin and my new clasp is now on my bag waiting patiently for my next trip. Thank you so much Arden Cove. Truly committed to their product.

I used the bag for a trip to Rome. It’s very good-looking and I felt much more secure having a bag that was itself secure. I also want to say that Arden Cove has the best customer service I have ever experienced! I had an unusual question about the bag and Carmen spent considerable time figuring out the answer, including a follow-up email to provide me with additional information. She went way beyond the call of duty and I really appreciated it! Thanks!

The backpack is exactly as advertised. It's not the largest bag, but if you're concerned about using it as a personal item on planes, from what I've seen you shouldn't have a problem on any airline. I feel so much better traveling without having to be worried about security of my most valuable and mission critical items

I brought my bag on my trip to Paris last week and never felt insecure on the Métro or in crowds. The chain link strap can't be cut, and the locking zippers make it pretty much impossible for pickpockets to get inside. Additionally, customer service is amazing. My bag was an older model, and while it was waterproof, the binding had run into the lighter main fabric. Arden Cove replaced it immediately! I cannot love this bag, or this company, enough.

I put the black/gold locking strap onto my black/gold nylon Mina Baie fanny and it looks good. The gold of the strap is a slightly lighter color than the Mina Baie but it's not a huge difference that bothers me because I care more about the safety aspect. It also fits easily into the slot to turn it into a fanny pack.
