PacSafe Ani-Theft Bags - fashionable and recommended

I have been carrying a multi-colored Kipling bag for more than a year. I have over used it to the extent that a week after washing off the city grime, it already looks like it hasn't been washed for a year.

Finally deciding that I need to buy a bag for myself - specific to my needs: to carry a point and shoot camera AT ALL TIMES, a huge wallet that is comfortable to use, a set of pens, a notebook, an mp3 player, an alcohol spray, a box of pills (fiber capsules), a few ponytails for the gym-addict that I'm beginning to morph into, 3 kinds of lip glosses, a liquid eyeliner, a set of keys, two cellphones.

That's actually an improvement from the longer list I had before I forced myself to use a bag organizer - which I got rid of when I bought my new bag.

I thought I'd buy myself a Crumpler handbag. Specifically, the Headaitch:

And I want it in Avocado Green shade - available in Crumpler store in Mega Mall or in Fort Bonifacio High Street (you say "in Fort" and NOT "in THE FORT", dumbass). It's worth Php2,990. Pricey, yes. Cute? DEFINITELY. Functional? ... I doubted it. So I had to walk away and find a better investment. I tried Kipling but their *acceptable* bag costs Php7,700. I'm not a daughter of a corrupt government official so I wouldn't even dream about wasting money on that.

My wise sister suggested I try the The Travel Club. The very VERY VEEERY nice sales attendant made several suggestions after she saw me seriously considering a hand bag. The best suggestion she gave was the PacSafe bag, CitySafe series. Which I ended up buying - SPOILERS!

The Anti-Theft features were too awesome, I wouldn't have been able to sleep that night if I didn't buy the bag.

• Tamperproof zipper
• eXomesh® Slashguard in lower front and bottom panels
• Slashproof adjustable shoulder strap
• Snatchproof shoulder strap allows the bag to anchor to a secure fixture

The Tamperproof zipper seems a little paranoid, and I LIKE IT! You hook your zipper onto a lock so when I sling my bag to my back, I wouldn't have to worry about people opening it up and fishing for my stuff.
