I've had this bag for a few years now (sorry late review) and I still love this bag. I only need one or two bags that I can use for many different occasions and this is the bag I use for a day out to run errands or to have fun. It's a smaller bag, which is what I wanted because I no longer have shoulder pain when carrying a bag for too long. It's very practical, has all the pockets and slots I need and has all the safety features, waterproof. It really is well made with high quality materials an...

Crissy Full Crossbody with Faux Leather Strap

I have both the Crissy Full and Elise. I wanted to get this because I love the look, and I think it will be very pretty for a more elegant dinner. There is one bigger compartment and it fits much more than you think. The back slip pocket is very convenient which the Crissy does not have. Love and use both my bags regularly.

This has been the most comfortable travel bag. The wide strap is super fit long days walking.

I love this bag. I felt more secure about my cards and money when traveling. Had a question and received excellent customer service. My friend likes the bag too, so I will be buying more as gifts. Thanks for a great product and experience with your company! Janet B

I love this crossbody! I've been using it as my daily purse, as we don't need to travel to ensure our safety.

Very happy with the Crissy Mini, for traveling, stadium, and everyday use. I purchased 3 different straps so that the Crissy Mini can be used with the full length faux leather strap, dressed up with 20” chain, or worn above the hips with the short faux strap. The bag is thus more flexible than a small bag I have from another company and much prettier too! The short strap has a lot of flexibility for waist size and works well on my small waist, which is also unusual. In addition, I wanted to ment...

I accidently discovered this purse on a Google search AFTER buying and returning both a Travelon Classic Small and a PacSaf CitySafe anti-theft purse. Compared to Travelon and PacSaf, this Arden Cove bag is a higher quality and more attractive design. The others had plastic, less secure zipper clips, cheap-looking nylon material, and several reviews indicated zipper and clip breakage. I was also willing to spend big dollars on a designer handbag, but found none with the security features and ...

During the pandemic I've been traveling back and forth to my boyfirend's apartment 2 hours away. I stay a week and vice versa. This backpack allows me to pack for the whole week and I can go without a suitcase. So much easier and convient! While I keep a few larger items at his (some shoes, larger coats, toiletries), I pack a weeks worth of clothes, makeup bag, laptop, and the Elise purse for everyday. The net pockets make it so easy to organize all my work items like mouse, charger, harddrive, ...

I ordered the Crissy Crossover for a trip to Europe later this year. I ordered the black with the Carmel logo and wide vegan strap. It’s a pretty bag and seems to be well-made. I haven’t really used it yet for any substantial length of time to give a full review but it seems that it will do a great job keeping my stuff safe. I wanted a bag that was fashionable and was willing to spend the money. It is expensive. While it’s stylish and seems to do everything that is advertised, I have to be hones...

i am traveling soon and wanted a small bag to carry. This is perfect. It is attractive and easy to keep clean. It has enough room without being bulky.

I've been using it everyday and pretty much fell in love with it. I love how I can use it as a crossbody bag and at times, shorten the strap and change it to a fanny pack.

The security, the look and the room in this purse is second to none! Extremely happy with Arden Cove quality!

Replaced the strap on my crossbody purse which was uncomfortably stiff. The chain feels much better. Ordered the shortest one but it was too long so I tied 3 knots and now it is the right length. Works really well.

Bag is perfect for travel. Wish the zippered opening was a little wider, it’s hard to get access to items inside purse. But definitely the quality is top notch.

I bought this strap to replace the one that came with a compact camera bag I'll be carrying across my torso in Sicily. The camera bag's original strap is not slash resistant, and I hope I never have to find out just how slash resistant this Arden Cove strap is. That said, the Arden Cove strap easily connected with my camera bag's two D rings, and the strap looks like it belongs with the camera bag. My only criticism is that after adjusting the new strap to its full length, there are a couple of ...

Rockin the passport pouch on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii! This has been the handiest thing ever on my trip!

Loved this bag, it looks stylish and functional. I only wish the zipper toggle didn’t come off. It was so disappointing when it came off at the Haneda airport. Took a while for me to put it on, otherwise I couldn’t open the front of my bag that has all my credit card and money. It was my first time using this bag for travel.

This purse is the perfect size, love that it’s waterproof, its security features and organizer in front. I have the black, used on trip to Europe and was so pleased I purchased this color for summer travels.

So attractive and well made. I did have to return it because I could not fit in my travel essentials , but I loved the look. I would like to see longer zippers which would improve access.

I love the wallet & all the features. I originally bought the Chrissy bag, but it was much too large for my needs, so I exchanged for this. It seems great, & I’m excited to travel to Paris with it. My only complaint is I do wish it was just a tad larger, or there was a larger option between this size & the Chrissy. I can fit a couple cards, some cash, my phone & a slim portable charger, but I can’t fit my sunglasses. If it was just a bit larger that would be perfect, but I do love it, & will be ...

Good quality and great length. I used this for my Crissy Full Crossbody for a wider strap and it was an excellent fit for my needs.

The bag is light and holds everything you need. The strap is easy to adjust and fits comfortably over shoulder or cross body.

I really love the design of the bag and I do feel it is well made. Unfortunately, the black on the strap of the bag comes off onto clothes. The shoulder of every shirt I have worn while using this bag now have black splotches all over them. For the price that I paid there should be no way that it is staining my clothing.

Purchased for use as a stadium bag in the fall. Security at the gate looks for bags that are too large - actually stop you from entering if it is. I wear prescription glasses & sunnies -this little bag is tight, but there's just enough room for a glasses case and my phone, & my credit card is safe in the rfid slot. I wish the zipper went down a little further on each side of the bag, so it would open a bit wider, but it's perfect for my needs, and cute besides.

I love the wide strap...for the backpack aspect. However, when trying to adjust to the crossbody style, it isn't long enough...for me. Granted, for the average gal purchasing this product, it would probably work out perfectly for you. Unfortunately for me, it does not sit in a comfortable spot as I am a larger gal. All that aside, I do have the Crissy crossbody purse and was able to switch to that strap and it works...for the most part. The length of the strap is perfect, but I wish there was a ...

This strap is a great additional to my wife's purse. It is stylish, and you would never know it has the security cable running through it.

So, I researched heavily and was so excited when I found this bag. I picked it out and my mom surprised me with it as a gift. I saved it to use it on our honeymoon and am bummed to say I was very disappointed in a couple things. Despite it being noted as water resistant, we had some mildly rainy days and even though it was completely shut and locked, the inside of my bag and passports became very wet. What bothered me the most though, was that the black strap rubbed off on my white sweater and w...

The travel bag provides safety and peace of mind. I used it traveling to Portugal and Colombia. I felt more comfortable not having to worry about pickpockets or slashers . The bag is classic. I used it for sit down dinners, and casual touring. I have not used the compartment with just cards. The main compartment has room for my iphone and a wallet and car keys. I use it daily now that I have returned to the states. It is a cute casual bag.

Lany F.

I really like the backpack, great quality, however, the zipper does not slide very easy, the straps are too big and stiff for such a small backpack, very uncomfortable to wear and keeps falling off my shoulders. the D-rings, and lock ring are too big which makes this beautiful backpack looks cheap. I had to replace the straps with a chain straps to match the beauty of this handbag, you might want to make the straps a little bit smaller, and maybe you can use a softer kind of leather. I would al...
