Why should I consider a security purse?

Good question.  First of all, when we travel overseas or domestically for that matter, ask any member of a U.S Consulate what is the number one problem faced by travelers when abroad.  The answer will be the same, no matter if you are in Berlin, Germany or Timbuktu, Mali, theft!  Not robbery, not burglary, theft.  After speaking with Resident Security Officers (RSO's) from embassies around the globe, they all recommend being especially careful of pickpockets and sneak thieves. The majority of U.S travelers  who do fall victim to crime are victims of theft.

The most common crime is pickpocket with men reporting their wallets lifted out of their rear pockets and women having their purses or wallets stolen.  Many of these thefts involve some sort of distraction to redirect the victim's attention from their property for just a moment.  

What is the solution?

The obvious solution is to not take anything with you of value.  The problem with that is it's not practical.  We are on vacation and want to take our cameras, we have to take our wallets with some amount of money, along with the basic necessities of a credit card or two, along with our passports or copies of if needed.  So if we want to take these items, we need to protect them.   

Wallets lifted by professional pickpockets, along with cut and run thefts are particularly prevalent in tourist popular countries.  The usual modus operandi involves thieves who walk up behind an unsuspecting traveler.  These thieves pride themselves on blending into the crowd, thereby looking natural standing behind you.  When you are naturally distracted by the crowd in the subway or market place, you quickly fall victim to the "sight of hand" expert who very naturally removes your wallet without detection by you or other surrounding tourists.  Additionally, some professional and opportunist thieves have been know to cut the victim's purse strap from the rear, allowing the entire purse to fall into the nimble hands of a 16-year old track star.  You might say, "how can that happen,  I would feel my purse falling away."  Remember that the true professional pickpocket has usually honed his / her trade for several years and knows your every move.  They know that they have to distract you in a crowded place by bumping into you, or utilizing additional confederates to clumsily jostle you while the theft occurs. Before you even realize what happened, your purse and all of its valuable contents are gone!

Another scenario involves the more standard scam which is unfortunately, common in this country also.  It involves grabbing a purse from behind with a quick and swift pull, causing the strap to break, and possibly causing bodily harm as you fall down from the jolt.

In the situations above, high-security purses solves the problem.  They are built with security in mind, yet  are attractive enough to use while walking through an open air market in Milan or while going out to dinner in downtown Frankfurt.

That's why you need this purse, unless you are willing to risk your camera, money, passport, ID, airline tickets, and other valuables from falling into the hands of a professional thief at the most inopportune moment.

What's so special about these security purses?

The main security feature of this purse is the shoulder strap, which  was designed with safety and security in mind.  It is uniquely manufactured with the patented "Shoulder Safe™" strap, which is the built in security system for the ultimate protection of your property.  Invisibly sewn inside the entire length of each shoulder strap are dual  slice resistant, flexible stainless steel braided cables.  Each cable is 1/16 in diameter and made up of seven individual stainless steel strands, which are then woven into a hex pattern to increase the cables strength.     

Here is a photograph of a purse strap made of clear plastic for presentation purposes only.  You can see how each flexible stainless steel cable is woven into each side of the strap with double stitching. 

     
This unique feature stops "cut and run" thieves from slicing your purse strap from behind and fleeing with your purse.  The shoulder strap is padded (so you don't feel the cable) and is adjustable from 29 inches to a very generous 50 inches, enabling the shoulder safe bag to be very comfortably worn across the body.  

Additionally, each purse has a swivel clip key holder, which also doubles as a unique device to secure the top zipper, keeping safe the purse contents.  When used, this feature requires two hands to open the purse, making it extremely difficult, if not impossible for even the most experienced pickpocket to remove an item without your knowledge.

What kind of material are the security purses made out of?
Each security handbag is made out of  elegant Microfiber Supreme™, which is a soft, non-abrasive matte texture.  It has been described as luxurious to the touch and has the feel and look of suede.  It shows exceptional resistance to water, stains, and abrasion. 

What styles and colors do the handbags come in?                                                      The purses are flattering and functional and lightweight.  They and available in two designs and sizes.  Both designs allow for plenty of organizing.  Allowing you to keep wallets, glasses, tickets, passports, cell-phones, passports and even small cameras in their place.

The medium sized "7 pocket" design comes in black and chocolate. One main compartment with one outside magnetic snap closure for frequently used items, and on the other side a zipper compartment.  Inside are three other compartments two open and one zippered for additional security. Fully lined.
