Sized not too big, not too small: just right. Elegantly stylish, room for all essentials and lies against my body snugly. A beautiful basic in the greyed navy. The wider strap is comfortable on the shoulder. Built in safety features are a big plus for worry-free travel.
An absolutely stunning anti-theft crossbody bag. Very elegant and comfortable to wear. I spent a few days in Rome with it and I was thrilled by its interior organization. There’s no need to carry a wallet because the bag has RFID protection, and the compartment fits sunglasses perfectly, so there’s no need to carry a case. It can even hold a small water bottle—the Memmobottle A6 or A7 size works best. It holds everything you need, and everything is extremely well organized. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s on the fence. It’s a truly unique piece.
Perfect bag for my three week track across France. I wore it the whole time across my body and it was very comfortable. Did not cause shoulder or neck strain. It carried two cell phones, portable charger, lipstick, comb, dental floss, pen, hand wipes, sun or trifocals glasses in a soft case, AirPods, passport, and credit cards. The antitheft locking system was tested when a man knelt down next to me while I was praying in Notre Dame Cathedral. He got nothing. I highly recommend this bag and will be ordering a lighter color when they are back in stock.
Went to Istanbul and this bag was perfect from the airport, plane ride, and exploring! I was surprised at how much I could actually fit in it. A random photographer started taking photos of us, some photos were so perfect felt like I was modeling the purse! Lol I received so many compliments on it! Even my Dad was impressed with it. My new favorite travel bag!!
Used this bag for a multi-country trip in Europe and it was great. The locking mechanisms and anti-theft built-ins gave me confidence that all my valuables and information were safe. In addition, the purse is beautiful.
Even though I haven’t yet traveled with this bag I already know it will exceed my expectations. It exudes quality and style, so much nicer than its popular competitors. Which, honestly was the prime reason I purchased it. I like unique and classy and this bag delivers.
Just got back from a 12 day trip to Rome and Greece and used my bag day into evening. It was comfortable to carry cross body and had nice storage options inside. The only thing that did not have a particular spot was my iphone pro max which was too large for the zipper pocket on the back. I received compliments from fellow traveler on this bag.
Thank you for your feedback , we have already extended the strap to make it longer in our next batches.
I traveled with my bag this past weekend and it's the first time I've had a bag with security features that I got compliments on. I love the weight and size and features and feel and overall aesthetic. It's been thoughtfully and artfully designed. I will definitely be carrying this whenever I'm on travel and I won't feel like I have to take one bag on the plane and pack another to take to dinner when I'm going out.
This purse is perfect for my upcoming trip to Italy. It looks like a real purse but functions like a travel bag. I love all the details with the RIFD blocking pockets and separate sections to keep things in, just like my normal purse. I do wish it had another inch of depth so I could fit my Nikon camera in the bottom, but that's not enough to keep me from loving this. This purse is well made, stylish, and easily fits what I need it to (sunglasses, wallet, passport, keys, credit cards, lipstick, etc).
Hi Arielle,
I recently used my Thafael travel bag every day during a 15-day trip through Egypt and Jordan, and I absolutely loved it. It fit everything I needed perfectly and was incredibly comfortable and stylish throughout the whole trip. It easily took me from camel rides in the desert to dinners at beautiful restaurants, which made it such a versatile travel bag.
Will be recommending to all my friends!
Great bag! Plenty of room and the color is perfect. Navy blue
This will be perfect for my trip to Paris
The hardest part was deciding on which color to choose. The rest was easy!
I recently bought the La Trotteuse bag and just came back from a trip abroad where I used it for the first time after purchasing. It was fantastic- from the cool orange color, to the shape and design of the bag, not to mention all the pockets, locking devices and safety features. It was a perfect travel bag, not too small and not to large and it held everything I needed for a day out and about in an organized way.
Some of the reviews mentioned the stiffness of the cross body strap and while I found it awkward when I first got the bag, I have to say that after using it everyday for 2+ weeks, it softened-up quite nicely and did not feel as rigid and unbending as right out of the bag.
You've designed and fabricated a terrific product and one that I felt completely safe with in crowded areas. The sleek shape, color and design makes it even better.
I wanted to change the bag color a few minutes after ordering and the team was easily able to make the swap.
This is a great sized bag for travel -- holds just enough, and keeps items well organized. I enjoyed the security features with the locking zippers and clasps. I wish the main zipper was a little better. The main zipper came apart (teeth separated) a couple of times when trying to zip across the top corner. The teeth of the main zipper were also a bit sharp, at times scraping my knuckles, or risking the lenses of my glasses.
Thank you Stefanie! We’re happy you’re enjoying the quality, that’s exactly what we aim for with every Thafael bag. Wishing you many beautiful and secure travels with it
This is a mediocre bag for the price range. It’s stiffer than portrayed rendering it useless for the intended purposes. It's also pretty heavy before you place anything in it making it uncomfortable for wearing all day. Just add s latches to your favorite crossbody with an rfid pocket and save your money.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Our bag is intentionally designed with a structured silhouette and premium materials to offer something different from softer, more casual crossbody bags. It’s built to keep its shape, stay organized, and provide added security, especially in busy environments like cities and while traveling.
Because of this, it may feel more stiff than lighter, more flexible bags, and we understand that it won’t be the right fit for everyone.
That said, many of our customers specifically choose it for that balance of style, structure, and security.

I was so happy I purchased this purse for my recent trip to Spain. A woman attempted to pickpocket me however everything was locked up tight in the bag so she was unsuccessful. I love how this purse kept everything I needed with me for the day neat and organized. It fit my travel wallet, phone, backup charger, sunglasses and case, protein bars and the inside pouch held my lipstick and eye drops. There was also room for a compact umbrella if I would have needed it. I purchased the navy which is more of a soft navy rather than a deep navy. It was the perfect neutral for the travel capsule I brought with me. This bag was definitely worth it for the peace of mind it brought me and I will not travel without it in future trips.
Wow… thank you so much for sharing this Deb!
I’m so sorry you had to experience that moment, but I’m really glad your bag did exactly what it was designed to do and kept everything safe.
That balance of style, organization, and security is exactly what we hoped to create.
Thank you again for trusting Thafael on your trip. Stories like yours are the reason this brand exists: to help women feel confident, prepared, and free to fully enjoy their travels.
Wishing you many more beautiful (and safe) adventures ✨
Emails were responded to promptly . They ensured I got my bag in time for my trip even though I ordered it a bit “last minute”.
Thank you for giving it a chance :) So happy to hear you’re loving it now
