Arden Cove is a woman-owned brand founded by sisters Carmen and Karin Yuen after carrying disappointing bags and gear while globetrotting.
It has a waterproof body and zipper, slash-proof lining all around, locking zippers, RFID blocking material, a chain shoulder that strap attaches to a post or chair, built-in wallet, shoulder pad on strap for added comfort, bottom studs to protect it from wear and tear when setting the bag down, and an interior D-ring to attach a keychain.
Promising review: “I used this purse extensively when I traveled to Europe this summer. It was large enough to carry my two eyeglass cases, cellphone, wallet, lipstick. The two separate zippered compartments have a locking feature that prevents pick-pockets from getting easily into the bag. I felt so confident walking around Europe that none of my personal items or information were being stolen that it made the trip soooo much nicer. In addition, it IS waterproof (Got caught in a downpour in Scotland and the contents inside stayed dry). I would highly recommend getting this purse!!” —Amazon Customer
