Best Anti-theft Crossbody of 2025: Why Cosmopolitan Chose Arden Cove

Best Anti-theft Crossbody of 2025: Why Cosmopolitan Chose Arden Cove

We have some news that we are absolutely beaming to share with you!

Sometimes, you create something you’re truly proud of, and you hope it helps people feel more confident and secure on their adventures. But when a publication as iconic as Cosmopolitan recognizes that hard work and names our Crissy Full Crossbody the Best Anti-theft Crossbody Bag, it’s a moment that leaves us speechless (in the best way possible!).

We were so incredibly thrilled and wanted to share exactly what their editors had to say about why our bag stood out from the rest.

What Cosmopolitan Loved About the Crissy

We honestly couldn't have said it better ourselves. Reading this felt like they understood our exact mission: to create a bag that gives you total peace of mind without sacrificing an ounce of style.

Here's the part that had us smiling from ear to ear:

"If your mom is always telling you to be careful or sending you scary travel nightmares from across the web (Mom, if you’re reading this, please stop!), give her the peace of mind of carrying this bag on your next adventure. Arden Cove’s Crissy is all about safety, from its slash-resistant straps down to its RFID-blocking technology (goodbye, pickpockets and hackers!). Whether you're navigating a busy market or hustling through the airport, its locking zippers and water-resistant nylon have your back. Plus, it’s sleek and stylish enough to blend in, so you can feel secure without looking like you're on guard 24/7. You’re welcome, Mom!"

Let's Break Down the Best Parts

Cosmo really hit on all the details that we poured our hearts into.

  • Security That’s Actually Secure: Let’s be real, the "peace of mind for Mom" angle is something we can all relate to! It is how we got started on our journey (thanks Mom!) The combination of slash-resistant straps, locking zippers, and RFID-blocking pockets is designed to protect you from the most common types of theft and digital scanning, so you can focus on the gelato in front of you, not who's behind you.

  • Stylish, Not Stuffy: We believe you should never have to choose between looking good and feeling safe. The Crissy is designed to be your go-to, everyday bag that just happens to have a ton of security features. It’s sleek, minimalist, and blends in wherever you go, from Paris to the grocery store.

  • An Investment in Worry-Free Adventures: Cosmopolitan also noted the price, and we want to touch on that, too! They said, "At $179, she’s a little pricey. But with all the safety features built in, it’s 100% worth the steeper price tag." We couldn’t agree more. This bag is an investment in durability, quality, and most importantly, in your ability to travel with confidence and joy.
