Sherpani Vale, Anti Theft Versatile Crossbody Bag, Fashion Tote Bag, Travel Shoulder Bag, Designer Handbag for Women

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sherpani Vale Anti-Theft Versatile Crossbody Bag — love the quality and the roomy design! It’s well made, comfortable to wear, and fits more than you’d expect without feeling bulky. The anti-theft features are a great bonus and give real peace of mind. Stylish, practical, and perfect for everyday use or travel.

Loved this bag as soon as I opened the package. Pros: color choices, lighter color fabric inside so you can find stuff, easy to fit essentials and, when unfolded, can fit water bottle, has slash-proof bag/strap. The Vale is unique in that it has RFID protection on both sides of the bag so I felt safe storing my passport in one of the external pockets. The number of pockets and ability to secure external pockets was perfect. You could easily use this as a personal size bag for under the seat, but I used a larger backpack and fit the Vale (folded in half) into the backpack’s laptop sleeve. The Vale is casual but looks nice enough to take into a restaurant. Cons: No external water bottle pocket, not a deal breaker for me - I brought a reusable bottle that didn’t sweat so it didn’t matter if I put it inside the bag. No padding on the crossbody strap, so I bought a set of 2 removable strap pads from Amazon (advertised for backpacks and guitar straps) and put one on the crossbody strap. I used my smallest compression cube to fit a sweater and rain jacket in the Vale, which made it heavy, so in addition to wearing it crossbody, I would sometimes give that shoulder a rest by using the short strap on my other shoulder at the same time. The small red clasp that secures the main zipper was a little bit hard to open, so I used a small Nite Ize hook to connect it to the zipper. One of the photos shows the Soliel (left), the Vale, and the Geo (right) for size comparison. I loved the Soleil but it looked overwhelmingly huge on me when full, so I returned it. Kept the Geo to use as an everyday bag. The Vale was an excellent bag to take on a recent summer trip to England; it’s the most versatile travel bag that gives peace of mind - highly recommend!

I was looking for a purse that had style and functionality - I wanted something large enough to shove all my travel carry on stuff for travel but still function as a purse when I got to my destination. I love that I can do exactly that. The large middle pocket fits magazines and snacks, hairbrush, everything I need for travel - the inside zipper pocket works perfectly for my wallet during travel when I'm getting stuff out on the plane - 1 of the outer pockets had my travel ID which I kept zipped and next to my body, the other outside pocket had everything else including motion sick pills, hand sanitizer and lip balm. When I got to my destination I took all the big stuff out of the middle pocket, put the long strap in the bottom of the bag, and had a stylish handbag without having to bring an extra bag in my suitcase. The large pocket carried most of what I need but was pretty empty and stylish folded over and zipped up - nice clean lines and not floppy even folded over - until I stopped at the store and was able to put the long strap back on fill the purse with my purchases and not have a separate shopping bag! I love that the outside pockets are big enough to carry keys and essentials in one pocket I keep zipped, and there is yet another easily accessed outer pocket that fits a small water bottle. I am extremely happy with this purse - especially knowing that it has security features that give me peace of mind when I'm traveling. FYI the smaller outside pockets actually are big enough to carry a small handgun though I have not yet put velcro in it for a travel holster, but probably will do so - no worry about printing because of the thickness and drape of the material. And I was glad to find there was no problem getting through airport security xray even though the purse is slash resistant. Excellent purchase for me!

This is an awesome cross-body bag for traveling. I went through Spain with this and never felt my items at risk. There is a way to push the zipper through a “lock” so it can’t be unzipped easily. It has an inside pocket that zips and 2 others for casual stuff. Hook it long or short depending on doing on what you are carrying. It does accomodate an iPad easily.

I was searching for a versatile bag that would look like a proper handbag while walking around a city but practical enough to be worn on a hike. This bag serves that purpose with its crossbody strap & durable fabric making it hike-worthy but with the short handle and simple styling it can be carried like a purse. It fit a 10" iPad (tablet), smart phone (and their cords), a large water bottle, as well as all the usual things (wallet, keys, small bag of toiletries) making this spacious enough for a small carry on (although no room for clothing). It's comforting to be in a crowded marketplace and know that no-one will be able to cut the strap and grab my bag. I didn't use the safety locks, although it would be desirable for some people. I like having the exterior pockets for my phone or other items you want instant access to. After a month of tossing it around it still looks like new and it will be going on many more adventure trips with me.

The Vale is even better than I hoped! I wanted a travel bag that was unobtrusive and not too large, yet could hold maps, a guidebook, water bottle, phone, iPad mini, charging cables, snack, wallet, and the day's smaller purchases. The Vale fits the bill and more -- plus looks great too. This bag holds far more than I expected. It is light yet incredibly durable; even cute -- and surprisingly classy in a modern way. No bulk! Sleek enough to roll up or lie flat in luggage or a tote, my bag is carbon black with a cheerful bright lime green lining that makes it easy to find items deep inside, even in poor lighting. It offers LOTS of invisible and unobtrusive security features! These include integral RFID blocking, slash-proof bottom and strap, a security cable to allow locking to a chair, and clever zipper loops that if utilized, help deter would-be pickpockets. The two straps can be reconfigured so the Vale can be carried as a shoulder or crossbody bag, or as a tote. It can be flapped over if not carrying much, or the straps easily reconfigured in seconds to convert it to full size. Like the other reviewers, I can't say enough good things about this incredibly versatile bag, which works for everyday as well as travel. The Vale offers so many features -- it must be used to fully appreciate. It is absolutely perfect and I love-love-love it!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! I use it for light days at school, and then just daily use for the store or going out to eat in the evening. I love how it’s convertible and can be made to look more dressy vs utilitarian. I got the black color and I think it will just be a bit more low maintenance for me and go with anything. I’m really looking forward to traveling with it and also ordered another bag from Mystery Ranch at the same time to try. I do love Mystery Ranch, but this Sherpani bag blows the MR bag out of the water for what I need it for. This will be great for a personal item on the plane as I plan on not checking any bags. Since the bag converts to a larger tote size, it fits my water bottle and rain jacket and whatever odds and ends I need to shove into it for air travel. It’s very well made and as others have mentioned, the long strap is quite thin, so if it becomes a problem for me and digs into my shoulder when I’m carrying more weight, then I’ll look for a replacement strap. But I’ll cross that bridge when I get there! Overall very happy with this bag and I’m sold on Sherpani now!

I love this Sherpanie Vale Anti-Theft Crossbody. Why? It is quite light weight, yet has lots of well organized space (besides the main zipper there are 3 other spacious zippered sections perfect for storing just about anything). There is a terrific phone leash - great for people like me who like to clip my phone into my purse so it can't fall out or be taken. The anti-theft feature that allows me to clip the purse onto a table or chair is easy to use & very handy, and the entire look is stylish. I suspect this will rapidly become my every day bag -- also because it is lighter than a leather purse of similar size would be. I highly recommend it.
