exceeded my expectations
I bought this in anticipation of a European trip where I'd heard pickpocketing was rife and, as a solo traveller on this occasion, I was hyper aware of personal safety.
The safety clips are great - some say fiddly, but that's the point, right?
In fact, I like this bag so much that it's become my default day use handbag home and away- where I need something a bit more roomy, I purchased the convertible cross body/backpack style bag also. With this combo of bag choice during my travels, I'm covered - not unknown to use both at the same time 🙂 - the backpack version for shopping and the handbag style for purse, passport etc.
