Travelon is a popular brand of travel goods, claiming to help you “travel easier and safer.” Something every traveler wants.
The company was founded 30 years ago as a manufacturer of luggage carts but has since expanded to over 400 travel products and accessories, specifically their anti-theft travel bags.
Travelon Theft-Proof Product Range
Travelon’s anti-theft travel bags are known for their theft-proof features you may need.
This includes:
- Mesh lined fabrics
- Lockable zippers
- RFID blocking technology
- And more
Travelon’s anti-theft travel bags also tend to be less expensive than their competitors. That combined with a two year warranty on bags and wallets makes this brand of travel gear something worth adding to your packing list.
In addition to anti-theft travel bags, Travelon also makes:
- Waterproof items like a waterproof pouch for your phone.
- Toiletry bags like the Wet/Dry 1 Quart Bag we recommend in our blog post: Carry-on Toiletry Bag Alternatives to a Ziploc.
- A range of travel accessories like luggage tags, toiletry bottles, luggage scales, and everything in between.
Travelon Theft-Proof Bag Reviews
Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch
Guest writer Emily shared what she loved about her Travelon Anti-Theft Signature Slim Pouch in her review.
When Emily moved to Japan, she wanted a bag that would work for both travel and everyday life. She wanted something small, versatile, and stylish, but with safety features that would prevent pickpocketing.
The bag’s safety features ultimately won her over. These include:
- Anti-slash fabric and straps
- Locking zippers
- RFID safe pockets
- A locking carabiner that can attach the bag to chair legs and other items to prevent theft

The interior pockets allow for every item to have its own space. This includes three slots for your phone and a latching pocket for your valuables.
The bag is made in four different colors, so it can go with just about any outfit. It’s small enough that it isn’t annoying to carry, but it has enough room for everything you need. You won’t be digging to the bottom to find your room key!
Anti-Theft Classic Messenger Bag
Guest writer Kristin purchased the Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Messenger Bag for its security features, but never knew she would need them until the bag thwarted would-be thieves in Porto, Portugal.
One man came up to her and tried to grab her camera while another reached for her bag. The “lobster claw” feature that holds the zipper in place prevented grabbing hands from snatching her valuables inside.

While the “lobster claw” may be one of the most important features of the bag, it also has different compartments for all your items.
- One side pocket can hold items you need to access quickly.
- Interior pockets protect your passport and phone. It’s even big enough to hold some digital cameras!
- Outer pockets can expand.
- There’s an additional pocket for your water bottle.
The cable strap is reinforced to prevent slashing and is also adjustable. Despite its price, the bag is a worthwhile purchase for the peace of mind it provides.
Anti Theft React Small Crossbody Bag
While the bag wasn’t what my sister was looking for when she purchased it for a long trip through Southeast Asia, the features that initially drew her to the Travelon React Bag were the size, cross-body style, and the locking carabiner.

The bag also has a zipper with a flap over it to prevent grabbing hands. It has pockets for all of your items with sturdy zippers, a more modern look than their traditional silhouettes, and the same water bottle slot as some of Travelon’s other theft-proof bags
Unfortunately this bag is no longer available. An alternative is the Anti-Theft Active® Small Crossbody which is about the same size, however, there is no water bottle holder.
In addition to the cross-body bags listed here, Travelon also makes theft-proof versions of weekend duffels, shoulder bags, and backpacks. You can also choose from different looks, like the more modern and edgy Urban series or the more traditional Signature series.
- Not into handbags? Perhaps some stylish theft-proof travel clothing instead.

My fiancee just got me the Travelon Signature 3 cross body purse and I love it. It’s got some great safety features, and it’s cute enough for everyday use, even when I’m not traveling!
Awesome, Nicola! We love “travel gear” that’s also useful in your daily life! 🙂
Just before this was published I bought the travelon heritage small cross body bag for my summer Europe tour. It’s soooo cute and the perfect size. I’m glad to know that I picked a good brand that’s hpl approved! 🙂
You’ll have to let us know how it works out for you 🙂
These bags are so cool and useful. However, it would be appreciated if they could make the bags more attractive and professional looking like my Von Baer Bag.
