This Quince Crossbody Bag Has RFID-blocking Technology

Travel mishaps are all-too common, even for the most seasoned trip-takers. Our own editors have run the gamut of unexpected setbacks abroad, including getting mugged and pickpocketed, as well as having their passports stolen. While we’re not one to fearmonger—we’re obviously team travel all the way—there are steps you can take to protect your belongings the next time you go on a trip. Investing in a travel bag with built-in security features, like this one, is an easy first step.

As the newest member of Quince’s travel collection, the Excursion Italian Leather Messenger Bag stands out thanks to several protective design features. The messenger bag is available in three colors, including black, dark navy, and hickory, and likely to sell fast.

Quince Excursion Italian Leather Messenger Bag

The leather messenger bag is made from 100 percent pebbled Italian leather, which makes it stylish without being too attention-grabbing—a common mistake travelers make when carrying designer bags. It has a unique boxy shape that allows it to comfortably lay flat against your body when you’re on-the-go. Weighing 1.8 pounds, it’s also extremely lightweight yet sturdy and will retain its structure no matter what you place inside, be it an slim e-reader or an overstuffed cosmetic case.

Functionality and style aside, this new arrival gets top marks in the safety department, too. Crossbody bags always get a gold star in our book as a way to keep personal items more secure, but Quince’s messenger bag delivers even more. In addition to a thick webbed strap that’s adjustable, the bag features two exterior zippered pockets with RFID-blocking technology to protect important travel essentials like cell phones, hotel room keys, passports, and credit cards. If you’ve ever been pickpocketed before, this is a total game changer. 

Additionally, the bag’s main compartment contains a cleverly concealed built-in AirTag holder. If this bag does happen to get misplaced or stolen, you’ll be able to track it down with the culprit none the wiser thanks to this ingenious yet hidden detail. A keyring, an interior zip pocket, a slip pocket, plus two magnetic closure pouches make up the rest of the bag’s interior, leaving you with more than enough space to store and organize your other travel essentials.
