Color Guide

The Anti-Theft Travel Crossbody comes in many awesome colors! Here's a closer look at each color to help determine which are perfect for you.

Overview

A Closer Look

Cream with Brown Details

The cream nylon is an off white color that looks slightly warmer indoors, but more neutral in sunlight. We found the perfect brown microfiber leather to match - a lighter, warm brown. While it can get dirty more easily, the waterproof nylon makes it easy for spot cleaning and is a trendy, youthful choice that will go along with both neutral and brighter outfits.

Zipper Tape: Light Matching Cream

Lining: Dusty Pink

Black with Black Details

Black is an classic staple that we knew many of you would love. Unlike cream, any dirt will be hard to detect. I've made sure to find true blacks that were not too blue, too brown, or too grey. This is a great option for people who like to stick to classic, neutral palettes, but of course, black can go with anything!

Black comes in two hardware options: gold or gunmetal.

Zipper Tape: Black

Lining: Gold- Lavender, Gunmetal- Grey.

Grey with Black Details

This grey is an unexpectedly pleasing color! If you're looking for a neutral that is a little more out of the box, consider this color. You've already seen our earlier prototypes in our video/gifs! It's a medium grey with a very slight warm tone, which makes it easy to pair for an effortless-but-cool look. This is the only bag to come in gunmetal hardware & strap (other bags have gold colored hardware).

Zipper Tape: Black

Lining: Light Blue

Navy with Brown Details

Blue is a great option if you're looking for some color but think that maroon isn't the one for you. This deep, rich navy with medium brown leather is the perfect combo for a casual yet pulled together look.

Zipper Tape: Matching Dark Navy

Lining: Apricot

Maroon with Brown Details

While some may find non-neutral colored bags intimidating, this reddish-purple jewel-toned color can be a great addition to many outfits without being overpowering. It is the most dynamic color, as it can appear more purple indoors, but is very vibrant with reddish hues in sunlight.

Zipper Tape: Matching Dark Maroon

Lining: Peachy Pink

Red with Brown Details

If you love the warm colors but find the Maroon a little too purple, this deep red is perfect for you. It matches perfectly with neutrals or jewel tones, making it a versatile statement piece for any season.

Zipper Tape: Matching Dark Red

Lining: Beige

Red vs Maroon Color

Chocolate Brown with Brown Details

Our Chocolate brown color is perfect for light neutral lovers. It's the perfect - not to warm, not too cold - just right brown to match with all your other neutrals. If you love the cream color but worry about keeping it clean, the brown is a perfect pick.

Zipper Tape: Matching Dark Brown

Features	Vegan Leather with reinforced steel cable for slash resistance Adjustable for backpack, crossbody, or shoulder bag	Vegan Leather with reinforced steel cable for slash resistance Adjustable for backpack, crossbody, or shoulder bag Customer Arden Cove Locking Hardware to close the clasp onto bag or chair* *Note this option comes with one Classic and one Locking Strap due to cost. If you prefer two locking hardware straps please let us know. In general the locks are not as necessary if wearing as a backpack as you would have both straps on. If you wear as a crossbody or shoulder bag please use the Locking Strap.	Woven wide strap for all day comfort Customer Arden Cove Locking Hardware to close the clasp onto bag or chair D-ring to attach small coin pouch Adjustable to wear as backpack or short shoulder bag Shorter than the Faux Leather Wide strap so a good option if you like your backpack more flush to your back, but likely too short for crossbody wear.

Which Strap to Choose?

Both the Faux Leather Wide Strap and the Jacquard Short Strap will work for a backpack and one strap can be taken off and moved to turn into a purse.

Please note that while both are adjustable, the Faux Leather Wide Strap is longer and likely a better fit if you want the strap to be both backpack and a crossbody bag. On the other hand, if you prefer the strap to be tighter on your back or you need the shorter length, I suggest the Jacquard Strap.

I do suggest measuring to see what length you'd prefer, as everyone's body and preference can differ. If it is not long enough, we have longer straps like the regular Jacquard Strap and Faux Leather Strap, which are designed specifically for a crossbody and can be added to your order.

The next consideration is what material you like the look and feel of. Both are high quality and smooth and this is a personal preference. Some prefer the more luxe look for leather straps, while others like a more sporty jacquard strap. If you wear a lot of thin straps or strapless shirts/ dresses consider your weather and which feel you like better on your skin.

In terms of safety features, both have an option of a locking strap for extra security. The Microfiber Wide Strap is reinforced with a steel cable to make it more slash resistance but adds stiffness to the strap. The Jacquard Short Strap does not have a steel cable and is very flexible and comfortable. In general, we don't find that slashing is a problem with wider straps such as these as this is generally a technique that targets thin leather straps which are easier to cut.
