FAQs

What size crossbody bag is best for travel?

What is the safest travel bag to avoid pickpockets?

Crossbody bags are a reliable, safer option if you’re travelling as the crossbody design is brilliant for keeping your items close and secure – out of sight from pick pockets. Some travellers prefer an over the shoulder travel bag, though wearing it across your body generally provides more security.

Can I use a crossbody bag as hand luggage on a plane?

Many travellers use a crossbody bag to keep essentials such as their passport, boarding pass, phone, headphones and travel documents close at hand throughout their journey.
