Sherpani Vale Anti-Theft Crossbody Purse, Tote Bag, Travel Shoulder Bag, Fashion Handbag for Women

I love this purse. There are so many safety features for traveling and the purse is so sturdy and cute. The bonus….it’s all made from recycled plastics. Love it!

I'm pleased with my purchase. I removed the shorter strap (it just unclips) and use only the cross-body strap. The cross-body strap is comfortable and the capacity of the bag is nearly perfect. I wish it were slightly bigger. The interior pockets and zippered pockets are very handy to keep things sorted. I'm pleased!

Great purse with lots of room. Plus it keeps its shape when full!

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!

This bag is very lightweight and well made with good security features but it's very small and I had to return it. I think someone who needed a smaller bag would like it.

I was just bragging on this purse to a family member, so I had to look back at when I bought it. I've been carrying this purse for 4 years straight and it still looks like the day I bought it! Nothing has even frayed or worn and I'm not gentle with my bags.If you're looking for a medium sized purse that will last, buy it!!! The features are just a bonus.

This bag is a god send! I have other purses that I love to carry around but out in public I always have to be mindful of them. Making sure things don’t get stolen out of it or being sure it’s always on my person so no one steals it. Not this bag! This bag gives me peace of mind. I can go to a restaurant and set my bag down beside me- secure it to the chair and enjoy my meal without fear of it being taken by a sly handed person. I’m almost entirely worry free with this bag and it’s features. Recently took it on a trip and Was pleasantly surprised as to how much it could hold. It held my glasses, sunglasses, keys, wallet, medications, sanitizer, camera, 32oz hydro flask, and my beats headphones. All without having to expand the bag to full size. The bag when folded over looks to me like a medium sized bag maybe on the “larger” end. When it’s not folded over it’s about the size of a small tote bag. (Think grocery bag) this purse definitely holds some big stuff without looking like it does. My water spilled in this bag during an hour long train ride. I was surprised to see that all it did was retain the water inside the bag. (It literally pooled in the bag) It leaked a little bit through but this was only after I’d gotten home and noticed. This was a full hour maybe hour and a half after. I laid the bag out to dry and within 20 minutes it was ready for the next adventure. Keep that in mind if you’re going to put drinks in this bag. I considered this a win instead of a loss. This bag is stylish, easy to clean, and looks good with any outfit. I bought the Grey and black bag. The bag itself is lightweight, very durable, easy to clean, and versatile.The only downside I would say is the straps are kinda small for my liking. I think if they even added half an inch of width to them it’d make everything better. I feel it would make the bag look more put together and feel more secure while on my shoulder. This is such a small complaint for what this bag is though. I’m in love with it and will definitely be buying more products from this company. They know how to make little bags carry big items and I’m very impressed. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone looking for a bag that gives peace of mind, versatility, lightweight, easy to clean, and looks amazing with any outfit. Buy the bag. Definitely worth it.

I love all the security features for traveling and that the purse is so well designed and functional. Plus it’s made well and it’s sporty but also dressy enough for most things I do. Very happy with my purchase and to support a local company from my hometown!
