I never do reviews but this bag deserves to be bragged on. I bought this purse for my trip to Italy and it was perfect. I felt safe in the big crowds knowing that the bag was secure. It had plenty of room for all the necessities and was stylish. The size is just right and the fact that it is a structured bag and not flimsy made it very easy to get everything organized and easy to pull out passports and tickets whenever they were needed.
I started using it 3 weeks before a trip to Paris. Good plan as it takes a bit of getting used to, for easy access to items inside without using an actual wallet and especially the rather stiff strap. Seems like it will keep my important items secure. This bag looks very stylish and classic.
I was going to write a review once I had used the bag, but as I'm not travelling to Italy until May '27 I'll write this based upon what my ideas and impressions are. Every crossbody travel safe bag I have looked at screamed tourist and polyester. Even though I may have a map in my hand, I still want to look stylish. I am really impressed with the bag. Not only is it super stylish, but incredibly well made, 100% secure and is going to give me great comfort knowing I have done absolutely everything to protect my belongings. The colour is really lovely, the feel of the leather is super soft and the fittings are of a high quality. If I had any 'hoped for' items, it would be a loop of some sort inside the bag that I could attach my phone to when I take it out. Overall, I am very glad I happened upon this bag and purchased it. PS I also appreciate all the travel tips that are on the website. To me that shows the passion Thafael has for travel and their willingness to share. Amazing work, thank you!
Started wearing my bag at home and received an unbelievable number of compliments on the orange color and style. Then took it on a 16 day trip through Northern Italy. It was unbelievable how much this little bag holds and how confident I felt that everything in it was safe. Once again many more compliments!
Perfect. Very spacious and has the locks for someone trying to pickpocket. Love the color. It’s my go to for traveling.
Everything about this bag is quality, materials used, construction, fittings etc. Very impressed. I am about to travel next week and will update on return.
Bag great, delivery and tracking terrible!!
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re so glad you love the bag! We’re very sorry about the delay with your delivery to Australia. Your order experienced an unexpected fulfillment delay at our Australian warehouse, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. We’re following up with our fulfillment partner to help prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your patience and for choosing THAFAEL!
I purchased the Crossbody La Totteuse for my trip to Canada recently and was very pleased with it. I was able to fit my iPad, phone, passports, money and credit cards into it. It was fashionable enough to wear during the day and into the evening going out to dinner.
I had a little issue with the zipper catching and I can't say enough about the prompt reply and service. I was sent a brand new bag that arrived a few days after my return home!
I travel extensively and feel this bag is a great compliment to my other travel gear.
Love the structure of the bag and size. Believe it will be perfect for carrying what I need for an upcoming trip to Europe.
My only concern is that the zippers/hardware seem less substantial than I expected and hope that they don’t separate which would defeat the purpose of adding extra security measurements. The trip is in a few weeks so it maybe too soon to tell
As described. Beautiful and functional. Looking forward to taking it on my trip.
Quality product and very stylish. The olive green color is fantastic
Love the bag.., lightweight, classic and great Olive color.
Love the color, love the Storage space, love the long adjustable strap. We are heading to Europe this fall, I especially love the locking hooks and zipper. The bag is a bit stiff, but not a deal killer. Would definitely recommend.
The bag was perfect for my European trip. It is comfortable to carry, attractive and theft-proof! I didn’t need a separate wallet as credit card holders are built in to the bag. There’s a spot for the passport and a nice central zipper section for paper money and other things. I’m so glad I bought it for my trip.
Beautiful and stylish crossbody, excellent quality, amazing safety features make you feel comfortable while traveling while also looking chic! I looked at many bags across different price points. This exceeds all for an incredible value!
I just received my bag and I am in the process of getting used to it. The quality is great. I love the color I chose too. It is smaller than I am accustomed to, but I must change my ways and carry less. It has all the right places to hold what you need. Slots for credit cards and phone space too. I am sure I will enjoy it on my upcoming trip.
I really enjoyed the bag. Only reason I gave it a
4 stars is because it's hard to grab stuff inside
It's a stiff one.
Hi Sandra ! Thank you for your review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear that you’re enjoying your bag.
You’re absolutely right, the bag has a more structured design rather than a soft, slouchy feel, which helps keep everything organized inside. That’s also why we designed the main zipper to extend all the way down both sides, so you can unzip it farther and open the bag wide for easier access to everything inside.
We really appreciate your feedback and hope you continue to enjoy your Thafael bag on many adventures!
Love the purse; however, the zipper separates and opens on the sides.
Hi there! We're so happy to hear you love the bag, and we're sorry you experienced this issue with the zipper. We've addressed this in our newest production by upgrading to a more robust zipper for improved durability.
I purchased this bag for my ten day trip to Paris and then London. I highly recommend! My husband and I were traveling with our four boys (ages 10-16) and the purse had enough room for all 6 of our passports, my phone, credit cards, ID, insurance cards, cash, hand sanitizer, paper tickets (when needed), small snacks, feminine products (yes, I was on my period for our epic trip😐), Kleenex, and my lip products (3 tubes).
I was happy with the peace of mind it offered. I didn’t want to carry around our passports BUT I was glad I did. Our 16 year old son (who looks like a grown man) was asked for ID at the Louvre because he looked over 18 and was had a child ticket. It war the reason I carried our passports and was thankful to have them and to feel like they were completely safe from pick pockets.
And the cherry on top is that this bag is beautiful! It looks expensive and I received many compliments. I have chronic neck issues and this bag did not regularly irritate it. We had a 12 hour day in London and at the end of that day, my neck was tight. But for our normal 8ish hour days, I had no issue!
I love the bag except the credit section is difficult to navigate very tight.
Fits all you need including your flat water bottle. Wide straps do not dig into your shoulders. Doesn't scream "tourist!" but says "sophisticated traveler." The 'just right' size between too small and too big.
I love thw color the shape and the space it have to put all my necessities ❤️
