This is my second Arden Cove bag. I bought the wider strap to use when I am walking all day and the thinner strap for going out to dinner. This bag has storage options in all the right places, is incredibly well made and so very pretty. I can’t imagine a more functional and stylish travel bag exists!

Calling all ladies who are international travelers that want a high end really nice travel purse with locking ant theft locks. This purse is the best purse I have found anywhere. I have bought and tried them all over the years on Amazon and they all break zipper wrips etc. I got my Arden Cove Verona cross body bag for my trip to Tokyo for work this week and its luxury compared to what I have ever had. Waterproof, high quality zippers and clasps and really roomy for my phone, passport, built in wallet, lots of storage and pockets inside. just like a luxury purse but for travel with the anti theft lock clasps.
A little expensive but worth it!

Got the Verona for an upcoming multi city European trip. I was looking for a stylish anti theft crossbody bag. The Verona was the only one I could find that checked all the boxes. It has had the color I wanted (a lighter taupe). High quality locking clasps & clips in gold. It is large enough (but not too large) for a small water bottle & snacks if need be. RFID blocking pocket. The option to choose my style of strap! That was huge. I chose the wider jacquard style strap for comfort. I will be doing lots of walking & will need to carry it for many hours each day. As a bonus it also has gold feet at its bottom to protect it from getting dirty when setting it down. It was more than I wanted to pay but I am glad a pulled the trigger before it sold out. It’s perfect!

You will NOT find a more beautiful anti-theft bag than this! I did a lot of research on anti-theft travel bags before deciding on this one, and I have experience with other anti-theft bags that were fine, but didn’t have the QUALITY and STYLE that I’m blown away by with this bag - it’s elevated on every level and the strap is so comfortable. I cannot stress enough how worth it is to spend more money to get this kind of quality - the locking zippers and straps are excellent!
Katie G.5/5Verified
Fantastic bag. Very sturdy and chic. Stores many things despite the size. Great quality! I wish I had it before…this may be my daily bag instead of just for travel.
Jessica G.5/5Verified
This bag is very well made, leather is top quality, has many features to prevent theft. Love the soft strap and will be purchasing the chain strap to go with it to dress it up.
Taty H.5/5Verified
My sister and I were so surprised when we found out we ordered the same exact bag for our trip to Italy. At the end of our trip, she and I could not stop raving over our purses. They’re very comfortable, not too big or small and so pretty. The quality of the bag is fantastic. My purse got wet in the rain and my valuables stayed dry inside. I also love the taupe color because it matched with all my outifts. The locking clasps were a bit annoying to unlock everytime I had to get something from my purse, but they definitely served their purpose. I’m sure a pickpocket would look at that and move on. I absolutely love this crossbody. I will always use my verona when I travel.
Marlene R.5/5Verified
I’m so impressed with this black crossbody bag! It strikes the perfect balance of being secure, practical, and stylish. The design feels very intentional—everything is safe and organized without the bag being bulky, and it still looks chic with any outfit. The material is durable and well-made, so it feels like it will last a long time without losing its shape or quality. I honestly haven’t come across another bag that checks all these boxes before, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something functional for your next trip (can vouch that it was great for Italy & Greece)!

This is my second bag from Arden Cove. I had the original Crissy Crossbody for about four years and finally decided to get the faux leather version.
I lived in Germany from 2020 to 2025 and carried my original Crissy with me all over. Even in busy areas I never really felt unsafe, but it was still nice having that extra bit of security, especially when traveling or in crowded places.
I had a Michael Kors Jet Set bag that I honestly hardly ever used. The Crissy, on the other hand, became my everyday bag. I carried it everywhere, and after four years I knew I wanted another one rather than switching to something else.
This bag checks every box for me when it comes to simplicity, style, and functionality. It looks clean and put together without being overly complicated, and it has plenty of organization without feeling bulky. It's easy to carry, goes with pretty much anything, and actually works for everyday life.
My original Crissy held up incredibly well over the years, so I already knew I loved the design. The faux leather version feels like the perfect upgrade, and I'm really happy I finally got it!
Jessica A.5/5Verified
This is a great handbag, my 3rd purchase from Arden Cove. I love the light color (taupe), antitheft protections, and slip pocket… also that it looks pretty. I bought it for travel but like it so much I use it for everyday too. I would say that it is my favorite purse, but at the last minute I bought a Mykos (in a different color) and that became my favorite due to its smaller size. Honestly, the perfect handbag would be sized in between these two and have a slip pocket. I would like a true white color, too. Love this handbag, though, it is a favorite both at home and traveling!

Perfect bag for a night out in Anchorage Alaska!
Judith G.5/5Verified
The Verona Bag (a city in Italy as well): I was very fascinated with how easily the usage the anti-theft lock and the removable shoulder strap. I was able to fit all of my valuables, and that includes the digital camera I travel with. Overall very impressed with the bag.
Veronica R.5/5
I love it 😀 😍 came quickly - went beautifully with some trinkets I had
Love the faux leather look
Would love one in a dark olive green too if you ever made it haha
Bianca T.5/5
I’ll be using this in Europe & Canada this year. I couldn’t wait to use it, so have been using it as an everyday bag. The jacquard strap is SO comfy! I may get the chain strap later to use for dressier evenings. The actual bag is great- very roomy without being overly big & everything is organized. I especially love the light colored interior that makes it easy to find things. I absolutely love the safety features- I had looked into other “safety” bags, but determined this one is best. I will feel very confident & stress free that my handbag contents will safe during my travels!
Carolyn W.5/5Verified
My daughter and I purchased the Verona Crossbody bags for our trip to Italy with the REID. We are very excited how they are so travel safe. They’re absolutely beautiful. We love the feet that are on the bottom of the bag and we both love the jacquard straps! She has the burgundy and I got the navy. The beautiful box presentation was a classy touch!
Christy C.5/5

Patricia B.5/5Verified
Great quality and beautiful bag! Just the perfect size for comfortable wear during travel. It is traveling to France with me in two weeks. I will feel “at ease” when in high tourist areas, due to the many theft resistant features.
Julie S.5/5Verified
I will be using it while it rains in the US and while I am abroad as well. Love the color and the slip pocket in the back.

Denise L.5/5Verified
Great bag. The taupe color is just what I wanted for summer travel and the look of the bag is very upscale compared to others I've considered. My one wish is that it could be just slightly larger - I need to carry both sunglasses and regular glasses and it's a bit of a tight fit with both cases in addition to my phone and other small items.
Cindy P.5/5Verified
I am using it for traveling to London and France. I think it will work well for me. I like all the travel and protection features.
My personal tastes in purses is usually not smooth leather. But, a little texturing in the leather. I think it keeps it from looking artificial.
Linda H.4/5Verified
I travel a lot and I really wanted to upgrade my travel belt bag to something more theft resistant AND something that looks more like a classy purse. I scoured the internet for something that would check all of my boxes. When I found the Verona, I knew my search was over. After taking it on its maiden voyage last week, I can confidently say I made the right choice. It was a perfect travel companion. The front pocket was perfect for cards and cash, And the bigger main compartment was able to hold everything else I needed, including my bulky sunglasses case. My phone was handy and safe in the open back pocket. If you are looking for a safe and beautiful alternative to a belt bag when you travel, the Verona is it!

my wife took it to London and South Africa and thought it was perfect in size and for security. it doesn't appear you were able to fix the manufacturing hitch, because there are still noticeable dimples on the top front of the purse.

I purchase this bag for travel. I love the fact that is leather. I wish the strap was also though.. The styles of the other rfid bags are not for me. This one is beautiful. The color looks just like it does in the photos. The strap is adjustable to the perfect length. I am 5'7". And the size is perfect too!
Michelle L.4/5Verified

Carol V.5/5Verified
Great bag! Just returned from a two week trip to Italy and this was the perfect bag to carry all my necessities securely. I paired the bag with the phone tether and did not have to worry about dropping my phone or losing track of it along the trip. The materials are high quality and the design is well done for organization and looks great!

This is a beautifully crafted product. It is very well made. The locking mechanisms are great, added protection from pick pockets. There is plenty of room for your cell phone, a wallet, passport, keys, hand sanitizer, 💋 moisturizer, etc. The strap is very well-made too. I can't wait to see how it works out in Peru. I recommend this product, and I will buy more products from this company.
