Instead, I look for regular purses that are 1) lightweight 2) spacious 3) versatile to bring along for traveling.
Here are my favorite travel purses:
This bag is from GAP. I love that the material and color is neutral. I can wear it with any outfit. The gold hardwares add a little dressy element. I can wear the bag long.
The strap is detachable. I can loop it around twice, and wear the bag short.
Or detach the strap all together, and use the bag as a clutch.
This bag is from an unknown source. It's a faux leather backpack.
With detachable straps, I can convert it into a shoulder bag.
This bag is from GAP as well. I love bags of nylon material because it's lightweight and durable! It has a wide comfortable strap and numerous compartments. It's very spacious, so it can double as a carry-on bag or a day-trip tote. I can wear it as a shoulder bag.
Or hold it on my arm as a tote.
I received this bag a as a gift; it's from Baggallini. It's my favorite carry-on bag. It has the capacity of a carry-on luggage. Because it can expands three inches taller, it can even fit a standard size pillow! But it's super lightweight!
When traveling, I avoid bringing bags like this: statement color that doesn't go with many outfits, uncomfortable straps, small capacity, boxy structure that takes up a lot of space in the luggage.
In regards to "anti-theft purses" or how to protect your belonging while traveling, my advice is just use your common sense and be aware of your belongings and surrounding. I have traveled to many places, even witness theft in action. Fortunately, I've never experienced theft personally. I am sure I look and act like a tourist. But I don't wear flashing things or put myself in dubious environment. So, be cautious and alert is more important than how "anti-theft" your gears are.
