With identity theft and other safety issues in the headlines these days, Pacsafe, selling wallets, handbags, and backpacks, is now offering that added security travelers are looking for. Many bags sold to consumers are too open and accessible; not having sufficient closures or locks. Pacsafe has all these problems covered by offering “anti-theft travel gear”. The security features offered are explained below.

Feature # 1: All Pacsafe bags, whether wallets, handbags, or backpacks, have a layer of “eXomesh” hidden between the two layers of fabric. eXomesh is made of lightweight stainless steel. A “cage” of “eXomesh” is placed on the most vulnerable spots, such as the top, bottom and corners. This layer provides protection from being slashed or ripped open.

Feature # 2: Pacsafe bags have “tamperproof” zippers, to ensure bags stays zipped and safe at all times. The zippers can be locked closed or attached to a spring loaded metal clip to keep out unwanted hands.

Feature # 3: A “snatch-proof” shoulder strap/anchor clips comes with all Pacsafe products, made of stainless steel cable with locks to attach bag to a secured location. The secured location could be a subway seat, a chair in a busy restaurant, gym locker, etc. These straps ensure the bag will not be leaving the consumer’s chosen secured spot.

For the security-conscious traveler, Pacsafe now offers their line of backpacks, handbags, and wallets with outstanding security features! See what you think!

The Bedford Nylon collection by MZ Wallace is the ultimate in effortless style. The “Alex” is a fantastic and attractive alternative to a traditional workbag/briefcase. My job does not require a briefcase and personally I am not into over-sized handbags. So, on some days when I need to tote papers and folders to and from work, I use Alex. However, its lightweight material and multiple carry options (it can be handheld, worn on your shoulder, or cross body by attaching the removable strap) make it the perfect option for when I am on my feet all day at industry trade shows, or for walking around New York City. Nobody wants to sacrifice comfort for style- except when it comes to shoes, of course- therefore Alex really has it all!

Perfect for:

Any chic working woman who doesn’t need to carry a laptop or a heavy load of paperwork.

Favorite feature:

The hot pink satin lining that adds a surprise pop of color. Also, because it is lined in satin, I feel better about throwing sensitive gadgets like my iPhone or CDs right into it.

Drawbacks:

If you are not highly organized, Alex’s triple compartment style can become frustrating: “Just where did I put my Orbit gum?”

Bottom line:

Alex is a fantastically functional classic!
