Brooklyn Anti-Theft Tote

This bag contains 3 anti-theft features - Slash-resistant panels, Cut resistant straps, and an RFID blocking pocket.

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to an object. A tag can be read from up to several feet away. These tags include the electronic chips on modern day credit cards and passports. These chips contain sensitive and personal data, that can be misused if they fall into the wrong hands.

Absolutely. This bag has a dedicated pocket that has been lined with a special material that has been designed to block the transmission of signals from your credit cards and passport to identity thieves with scanners. You must put your credit cards and passport in this dedicated pocket (which is clearly identified in every bag either with RFID logo printed on the lining or a label in the pocket) to secure your credit cards and passport.

There are some thieves who will cut the outside of your bag so that your belongings fall out of the bag, into their waiting hands. This can be done in a crowded place with little or no realisation on the part of the victim. With the slash resistant panels, were someone to try to slash your bag, they could not cut through to your belongings so that they stay where they're meant to - in your bag.

Yes. The outside dimensions add up to 88cm, which means that it is acceptable, even with very strict airlines.

Absolutely. You don't have to be a traveller to use these bags. They are a great option for daily use as they are extremely lightweight, stylish and functional. The safety features are an added bonus.

This is a great bag to use as an overnight bag. It would fit a change of clothes (or two!), as well as the usual things you may need such as wallet, phone, sunglasses, laptop, book etc.

We suggest you wipe your bag with a damp soft cloth, using warm water. For more stubborn stains use a light detergent.
