I needed to replace a strap for my favorite backpack, customer service was super helpful in helping me choose the correct strap size to match my other one. When my package got lost, they were quick to respond and get it resent to me. Great customer service and top quality products.

I purchased this bag for a trip to Paris and other favorite haunts for pick-pockets. I loved the design. It held most of what I needed for the day and was comfortable to wear. I felt secure having it on me, and was able to enjoy my vacation more with peace of mind. I didn’t let down my guard totally, but having this bag did help! The materials feel like good quality and it looks to have solid construction. I’ll be using it at home too. Very please with this purchase, it was well worth the cost.

Purses , backpack and body cross bag were all great! exceptions of the credit cards pocket is a liitle bit smaller, ( in my opinion ) it needs more a little spacious, its too tight! Overall was excellent ,to be use in travelling to asian countries and cruises

I love it! I wanted a small purse to hold my phone and epi-pens. I needed something small so it was not cumbersome to carry my own purse with my daughter's diaper bag. Easy to use as a wristlet or fanny pack with an additional strap. Also fits in her diaper bag if I do not need easy access to my stuff. Would recommend if you need something to hold your phone and a few items. You cannot hold that much stuff, but it holds what I need.

I purchased this purse when it first came out years ago, because I had some traveling coming up. The purse traveled the World with me and was a great companion. It came time that the purse became unrepairable, I ordered the exact same purse as a replacement. I excited for the adventures that I will encounter with my new purse.

I am Currently on a trip using my new bag. I like the size and the 2 sections of the purse. I am also comfortable with the security it provides. I was disappointed in the dark brown. It was lighter than the online picture. I decided to keep it because I really didn’t have time to reorder another color before my trip.

Adore it! Got it because it's a waterproof bag that isn't just plastic and actually looks nice. It's obviously really well made and held up nicely in a rainstorm this past weekend! It isn't huge, but it does fit more than I thought it would. Good for the essentials and a few snacks.

I have this bag in two colors and have used them in my travels all over the world. When my daughter saw me carrying one, she admired it so much that I ordered one for her birthday. She loves it as much as I do!

This has become my go-to bag outside of work! It’s very good quality, cute, and truly waterproof as I had gotten caught in a rainstorm wearing this backpack. As some other reviewers noted, the straps are a little stiff, but it doesn’t bother me when I’m wearing it as I still find it comfortable. I will be using this for a long time!

I was very pleased with the quality and look of this bag. It fits all the essentials you need for a day walking around town except for a water bottle, unless the one you want to carry is very small. The extra security of the locking zippers is fantastic. The front pocket with places for your cards helps with organization. The waterproof fabric is great. All around happy with this bag!

Love, love, love this bag. Just got back from a trip to France and Belgium and this served me perfectly. It was big enough for what I needed, but not too big to be cumbersome. I was able to hold passports, money, lip balm, hand lotion, hand sanitizer, a hair clip and a small bag of other necessities. it even was big enough to hold most of that plus my paperwhite kindle in a case. The front pocket held my phone and some bills easily. The locking clips are a must. A bit cumbersome to open/lock eas...

I am very pleased with my purchase. It is every thing you said it would be and more. I purchased this for an upcoming trip to Europe; however, I started to use it as soon as it arrived. I could not wait to use it!!!

I just returned from a trip to Italy where I brought my Arden Cove cross-body bag. It rained while were there, so I really appreciated that the bag is waterproof. I could fit all of my daytime essentials in addition to a small water bottle. Also loved that it's versatile, so it goes seamlessly from day to night. Arden Cove, please consider making this bag in a larger size as well. I will buy it!

I purchased this for my wife for her 75th birthday in anticipation of a Mediterranean cruise we are going. She fell in love with it immediately and started using it as her primary purse right away. It was my youngest daughter who put me on to Arden Cove, smart young thing as she is. Thanks for the great product!

The bag itself is crafted beautifully. You can see how much thought was put into the purse based on the detail. The customer service really is what sold me, Carmen was so very prompt in responding to my question (especially on a weekend when I didn't think they'd be checking). And she went above and beyond to help ensure I got the bag I wanted on time before my trip! Thank you SO much!

It has taken me a while to write this, as I did not have a trip planned close to when I purchased the bag. I recently took the bag on vacation in Greece. It held up extremely well and was easy to wipe off dirt. My only issue is that I had a small wallet and not using the front pocket as a wallet and using the main compartment limits what you can carry in it. Next time, I will use the front pocket as designed.

I recently purchased the Crissy Waterproof Cross Body with faux leather strap for a 2 week trip to Asia. It worked great for that trip, but I wanted a dressier strap for evening. I purchased the chain strap to use in anticipation of my next trip.

For years I just went with the regular strap that comes with my Arden Cove bag but I ordered the short strap when I sent in my bag to get fixed and I am sooooo happy with how much the short strap fits! My tiny little frame finally has a strap that fits!!!

Wife needed a good bag for her frequent business travels. This works almost perfectly. Would love the computer compartment to be .5 inch bigger but the convenient was it connects to luggage and the other compartments are awesome. And she likes the way it looks….not carrying her Coach bag any more.

This bag is so cute as well as functional. It can be difficult to find anti-theft bags that also look good so I was excited to find this brand. There's so many security features to protect against pickpockets and the design looks great as well. Can't wait to use it on my upcoming trip!

Carmen & Karin take Customer service to another level. The cross body arrived with a small flaw and they went above and beyond to arrange a replacement. They took the time to personnally resolve the situatiion by inspecting and sending me a photo of the replacement before it was sent out. They even expedited the shipment when the replacement was shipped. I have raved about this to friends and family and highly recommend Arden Cove. Thank you for caring about your customers.

I have not yet traveled with this bag, but I look forward to doing so. It is stylish, roomy and very well made. I purchased the locking strap because I will be traveling SOLO to Barcelona and Rome--pickpocket capitals of Europe from what I hear. The gunmetal hardware blends seamlessly with the black fabric--not only lovely, but additionally makes it more difficult for a possible thief. Another feature which I welcome is the water repellent zippers. I wish that luggage designers would use yo...

The purse is just what I was looking for to use when traveling. Customer Service was excellent when I made an error in shipping address. I noticed it right away and was able to contact them via email. I received email next morning that address had been corrected and the delivery occurred with no problem. Thank you for the great customer service!

I really like this purse it’s functional for my needs. One minor issue I have is when I put my iPhone 14 Pro max in the inside pocket upright it’s hard to zip the purse. I can work around this by not using the inside pocket for my phone.

This bag is so cute and stylish. I love the design. I ordered a strap that was too short and they were able to exchange it so fast! Totally worth the price!

I am elated on for functional, stylish and assuring this purse is! Here in the Greece, it is crucial to find a purse that fits all your important items and how it keeps those materials safe. I could swing my purse to my bag and nothing could happen! The locking mechanism take a minute but that reassures you! The zipper tags are easy to hook close but is too difficult to open it from the perspective of a pick pocket. This purse, to put into one word, is effective! Functional, stylish and reassur...

Very well made, great size, and customer service went above and beyond when I decided to exchange the strap. I will probably gift to my daughter as it is too warm toned to coordinate with my clothes. I knew when I ordered that was a real possibility, as none of the color options appeared ideal for me, but that does not take away from the outstanding quality! I would love to see a cool toned option on the future, ideally with silver hardware. I would definitely buy another :)

This is a really great way to find my keys quickly even if they are at the bottom of my bag. The fuzzy bracelet can be adjusted and is comfortable to wear when I want my keys in my hand but, also to be a bit more hands free (still wishing I had a third hand/arm some days lol).

Absolutely love my backpack! It's big enough to carry all my essentials while not being too bulky. Can't wait to use it on vacation. I also love the security they provide while also being stylish and chic!

After hearing stories about cell phones being stolen, especially in Europe, I purchased an over-the-shoulder iPhone case with a cross body strap. The strap that came with the phone was wimpy and would be very easy to cut. I researched online and found Arden's wire reinforced cross body strap and purchased it. I've been using it on a domestic trip and am very, very pleased with the product. It's multi-functional, something I can use with a purse, an iPhone case or a briefcase. I'll be using this ...

The Carmel backpack in black and gold with the original hardware is absolutely beautiful. I already have the black and gray Carmel backpack with the locking hardware, but I wanted to try the original color and hardware style too. The sale price was extraordinary and I couldn’t resist. I absolutely love it, actually even more so than the black and gray, believe it or not! I’m looking at the wallets during the next sale, LOL! Thank you for making such durable products that back up their claims won...

It's a nice size and the RFID protected built in wallet will help with organization without having to carry a wallet. There is plenty of room for sunglasses, sunscreen, and hand sanitizer. It would be nice if a key leash was included
