Thafael Anti-theft Cactus Leather Handbag

The bag is absolutely beautiful and I love all of the compartments inside the alleviate the need to carry a wallet. The extra safety lock features are great. Arielle, is very personal and has responded to every question/e-mail I have sent and has been great to work with.

It’s not as functional as I would have hoped…

The strap is super flimsy. For the price, I would have thought it would be more substantial. I used this bag during an international travel day, totaling 18 hours in the airport, and I hated it by the end because of the strap. It kept getting twisted and tangled and was so hard to unravel, because the ring that holds it didn’t even stop the twisting. The strap didn’t hold its length with the metal piece, and as I walked through airports, it got longer and longer. And the cushion for the strap never stayed where it was supposed to. My neck and collar bone was rubbed raw by the end of it all. The purse itself is amazing, so much organization and practical flow, but I regret purchasing it because of the strap. I’m considering asking for a refund. Buyer beware.

6 countries, 3 weeks and my Thafael bag was the star!

6 countries in 3 weeks and my Thafael bag was my trusty, stylish, comfortable and very secure companion. I always felt like I had confidence in how it functioned, was so easy to adjust the strap as required which made travelling on trains, planes and buses a breeze. It is so absolutely gorgeous and I got many compliments!

A beautiful bag that makes me feel stylish and safe

The first thing I noticed when I unboxed my Thafael bag was how beautiful it is — it doesn’t look like a travel bag at all, which I absolutely love. The quality and craftsmanship are excellent, and I can already tell it’s going to be great for my upcoming trip next year. Even though I haven’t used it yet, I can already say it makes me feel stylish, confident, organized, and safe just wearing it. The size seems just right for what I need. If I could change one thing, it might be to make the opening a bit easier to access — but otherwise, it’s such a thoughtfully designed and secure purse. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and safe travel purse!

Perfect stylish anti theft bag

Originally when l started looking for a travel bag that was firstly as anti theft as possible but also stylish l came to a dead end.
More googling got me to Arielle’s site and l was honestly thrilled- it’s perfect for day sightseeing but also taking out to a beautiful restaurant and feeling confident!
Well done Arielle. X
