Arden Cove Reviews

Laura K.

High quality and well designed. It is a perfect small size, yet efficient enough to carry all necessities (including a cell phone) for a day walking in Paris. Very attractive. It has all the anti-theft features, yet it looks nothing like a “touristy” travel purse, making you less of a potential tourist target. I love this bag!

Love this purse! Bought it for a trip overseas, and it fits everything I wanted to have with me while out and about. I feel good about the RFID-blocking feature and that the zippers clip onto the purse so it’s not easily opened. But it wasn’t a hassle to get into when I needed my things. And love the blue color! I’m normally a black-purse kind of gal, but the pop of color is really fun!

Love this bag! Even though it's a "mini" it's big enough to carry the essentials and I won't look like the proverbial "tourist". The company was great...the chat feature activated almost immediately and all of my questions were answered quickly. I needed a different strap, and the exchange was super fast! Traveling on a Viking cruise to Italy around the boot and look forward to using my new crossbody. I'm sure this is the first of several Arden Cove purchases...already recommended the bag t...

We just returned from five days in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. My wonderful little crossbody purse was perfect. I bought the black because it seemed the most versatile. I liked knowing that my credit cards and belongings were safe. I put our passports in the "wallet" compartment and could get to them easily as we went through customs. I was amazed at how much I could carry, although I may look at a slightly bigger bag for home because I always have a book to carry.

I bought this purse to travel to Thailand, Singapore & Bali from the USA. It’s perfect (simple & classic design, not too big/not too small, waterproof, RFID blocking, slash-proof strap & organized with credit card slots/money slot/2 interior pouches/a zippered compartment) except I, personally, would like an outside back pocket for easy access to my phone, a shorter strap (the “buckle” digs into my shoulder when worn cross body or over my shoulder at the optimum length) &, for the price, all har...

So, I finally was able to put the purse to the test during my week and a half vacay. At first glance, all seemed as expected. Quality of the shell and zippers seemed nice. I will say, I did have an initial slight disappointment in the quality of the clasps of the zipper. Everything else seemed so nicely done and quality seemed on par for price point and aesthetics...until you got to the feel of the clasp of the zipper, which was a main safety selling point. I had read other reviews stating how t...

I bought the cream colored bag. Love the color but swapped the chain out for camera strap. I tried it out at the grocery store and came home with black marks on it. I was able to clean those with Dawn and a little water. The took it to a coffee shop where my dog pulled the leash as I was putting a top on my coffee and the coffee spilled on my purse, shoes and the floor! A local shoe repair shop was able to get most of the. offer stain off but there is still a shadow stain (boo hoo). although I ...

Looks great! Can't wait to take it to Boston and Austria with me. Love the feel of the bag and all the room!

I LOVE this wallet. It feels luxurious and it's huge! I can fit my keys, cards, cash, and a lip product or two for touch-ups. I love to use it as a wristlet as well. I love that the sleek design can easily be dressed up or down. It's the perfect accessory. It's pretty bulky, so I'd recommend if you keep it as a wallet, use it alongside a larger purse or full-sized backpack (rather than a mini backpack like AC's Carmel). Cherry on top is the RFID-blocking technology. I can go somewhere like a wei...

Grande Marina Convertible Wallet and Belt Bag

Shannon M.

I’ve been through a number of “travel bags” and never found the right one…until now. Others were too big to carry all day, looked like my mom’s purse or were so segmented that they didn’t have the right space in the right places. I bought this one for a (fingers crossed on COVID restrictions) trip to Japan and I love it already. It’s a nice size and will actually hold everything I need in a stylish package that isn’t too heavy. My only complaint was that I thought the zippers were too stiff ...

Full Crossbody with Chain Strap

Claire C.

This purse is exactly what I was looking for. Small enough to be lightweight and easy to be active while wearing. Big enough to hold more than phone and money. With added and very much needed security bonus that I can safely remove items from bag with ease and without risk of losing purse contents. I love it!

Joan C.

Perfect size to carry the day’s essentials. Stylish and secure. I got the cream color for summer and black for winter. I love the fact that you can buy additional shoulder straps separately. Thats a game changer. Being able to have the bag sit a just the right length makes it comfortable and personal as well.

Natalie B.

I LOVE the slim wallet!! It would be perfect for a wallet for very minimal essentials. I actually ended up exchanging it for the Marina Grande Wallet since I realized that I wanted to keep a few extra things inside for long days (external charger, earbuds, keys, lots of coins and cards...), but in a perfect world, I would own both the Slim and the Grande because the Slim is such a great size that looks so sleek as a purse/wallet/belt bag. Beautiful, high-quality design and excellent anti-theft f...

Barbara P.

I have been considering an Arden Cove bag for awhile and finally took the plunge. Headed to Italy and didn’t want a travel purse that screams tourist. I took my new purse with me on my recent beach vacation to try it out and absolutely love it. I really like the metal chain. Adds some cool style. And the size of the purse is perfect. I don’t want to carry a bunch with me, this one has plenty of room. And while I am a cross body fan, some don’t seem to lay right. I was a little worried wi...

The perfect little bag! I just got back from Europe and everything remained safe and secure. It was a perfect size to take to dinner, dancing, etc. and the chain strap made it look so classy and fashionable. I’ll buy another!!!

I will be taking this to Italy and Spain in October. I think it will work beautifully. I have been searching for a cross body that would make me feel secure but didn't scream "tourist", I have finally found one.

I used my lovely purse with the chain attachment all through Paris. My friend thought it looked like a popular designer purse . Great product . I felt confident that nothing g would be stolen .

This is my third Arden Cove bag and I’ve loved each one! I did not even realize that this one was limited edition colors when I bought it so I’m really glad I went for it! It arrived the evening before I left for a trip to San Francisco (I didn’t think it would make it in time but it did!) and it was great to have. I loved being able to stuff everything in it while I walked on the beach and know it was water resistant in case of any splashes. The locks make me feel a little extra secure in the a...

I’m very happy, this is exactly what I was after. Bought it as a University graduation gift to myself, excited to use it when I go overseas to Europe and the UK to celebrate.

I got this one in black and cream and they are both great so far! Seems very good quality for everyday use. I am studying abroad next semester in Italy so I hope they bode well there!

I just received my new Carmel backpack and plan to use it on my upcoming trip to Europe. It's beautiful and well-crafted! I like that it looks pretty enough to wear for both casual and more dressed-up activities. It is quite roomy, but not too big that it can't be worn like a purse. I'm really looking forward to the trip, and having a bag that I know will keep my items safe, secure and dry!

Deborah R.

I love your products, the material, the safety features, etc. While I have shared your products with others, they allow the $$ cost affect their decision to be safe. I don't want to say that that's a concern, but I've been hacked and it's not a good feeling. So I don't want that experience, so I override that thought with feeling more secure with my valuables. So, they find other items with 2 or 3 of the features you have and bc your items are patented protected, I don't feel like I'm missin...

I purchased this strap to use with my Bandolier phone case for my trip to Paris. I have a leather strap that came with my phone case but I feel more secure with this theft proof one while traveling out of the country. I worked out the kinks with a hair dryer and it’s fine. Great job…well made and looks nice…!!

I love the security features and and that it looks like a designer bag. The owners were very nice and responded immediately when I had emailed about a customer service question!

I have not yet used it, but will do so soon. This purse has outstanding anti theft guards. It is also the only anti theft bag I have seen that has aesthetic appeal. My only complaint is your advertising it as having a faux leather look. No way.....this bag has a nylon look. Otherwise, it is a step above other anti theft bags.

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 Elise crossbody is a great purse! It's exactly what I prefer in terms of elegant aesthetics. To me, it's a more streamlined version of the Crissy Full Body, which I own 2 of, love and use often - but sometimes wish that the built-in wallet was tucked inside the bag, rather than attached on the outside. Everything that I usually put into my Crissy Full Body (which is a lot, e.g., cash, cards, coins, keys, phone, lip balm, mirror, portable power bank, phone adapter/charger, hand sanitizer, a s...

Elise Crossbody

Anna N.

This wallet is very well made, sturdy, secure and versatile. It is my daily grab-and-go bag, as well as travel wallet. In addition to a lot of room for standard wallet essentials (e.g., cards, cash and coins), it also has space to carry a few additional items for those who like their wallets to do just a bit more. For example, I was also able to fit a passport, several keys on a ring, a 6" smartphone, a tube of lip balm, a small mirror, a pen and a short USB cable. I love that the wallet is wate...

I absolutely LOVE this crossbody purse! I wish I had found it years ago. When I switched from my old purse to this one, I was stunned at how much more space I had in it than I had in my old one. Amazing bag!

Love it! Very spacious and beautiful. I was able to fit my hygiene products, a pair of heels, a dress, underwear, two books, iPad, chargers, and some snacks. There were still some pockets that went unused.

MB Packing Backpack

Michelle L.

Great everyday bag that can also work for more formal occasions AND it was slightly bigger than expected! Zippers are a bit tighter than I’m used to but I assume that’s what keeps it water resistant. Super functional, practical, with thoughtful design choices throughout— love the little feet at the bottom!

Mackie K.

I love my new Elise Crossbody! It seems like it'll be the perfect travel purse, beautiful and secure. Actually I won't get to give it a try yet, but can't wait! Thanks for working so diligently to produce bags for traveling and every day that provide security and are great looking!

Sarita T.

I adore this bag! I have actually been searching and searching for something like it and have never found exactly what I wanted. The wallet on the outside of the tote is the perfect size, and the tote itself is elegant and so functional. The anti-theft features and the RFID blocking tech is a relief as well. I bought it for an upcoming trip to Florence, but I actually have already started using it! I am thrilled with it!

Victoria Tote

Rose D.

Took this on my recent trip to Denver and it's the perfect size to take when going out for meals. museums or other social gatherings. Plus it packed nicely in my carry on because it wasn't bulkly. I have an iphone 12 and it fit inside as well as the outside pocket. I used it as a crossbody but it can be used as a fanny pack as well.

I love my new Elise! I bought for some upcoming travel but decided to use it daily to get used to it. I took it on a weekend trip recently and felt very comfortable knowing my credit cards and personal items were safe. Thank you for designing a secure travel purse that looks nice!

This is the perfect size to fit on my carry-on and fit under the seat.. I love the strap on the back to hold it in place. Lots of pockets and a place for a water bottle.

This purse did everything it was supposed to do! When it was pouring rain in Siena Italy, I was soaked but everything in my Arden Cove purse stayed dry. The security features were easy to use and the look was stylish. The outside zipped pocket was perfect for keeping my phone handy for pictures. I would highly recommend!

Great purse, the front zipper had some issues but was promptly replaced when I contacted customer support. I used this purse in Japan and Vietnam. Well made purse! I would recommend it for traveling.
