I love my personal pocket bag. I have been using it daily for over a month for key, wallet and phone. What I also like is Valcen replying within two days to my concern about stitching coming loose within one pocket section. I shoed them a picture of the damage and they are sending me a replacement bag free of charge. They stand behind their products. I am impressed.

Since I received it, I use it every day and love it. Good quality material, zippers function well and the pockets are perfect for me.
It sit really comfortable around my body, lays flat, and it hides very well under clothing. I just purchased a second one to gift to a friend.

I just got back from 4 week trip to Europe.
This sling bag was great!
I had my phone in the top pocket.
I had my passport, boarding pass, hotel key card, and metro card in the next pocket.
The last pocket contained just my wallet for easy access to my credit card.
I had Paris maps and an extra battery and cable for my phone and a small bottle of hand sanitizer in the main pocket.
I highly recommend this sling bag.
The shoulder strap is easy to shorten when you rent an e-bike, and then lengthen again so you can drape a sweater over it when the weather warms up in the afternoon.
Thanks valken. com!

Love my Valcen bag. I have tried all sorts of ways to carry stuff when traveling and this by far the best. Pockets are all easy to access, simple with two zips on front and and one on side/back pocket. My only suggestion is that you should have a small Norwegian flag on it. Good job.

It is a great product however, it would be 5 Stars if I could fit my iPad or tablet in it. If one is created to fit an iPad 11 Pro with measurements of height of 9.74” (247.6 mm), width of 7.02” (178.5 mm), and depth of . 23” (5.9 mm), I will be the purchasing one.

Love how this bag fits to my body. At first I thought perhaps it had too many pockets, but a week into using it I find the separation that the pockets provides is useful - phone, sunglasses, wallet/keys have their own zipped pockets. The largest pocket can fit a small, thin book or reading tablet, but probably not an iPad mini.
My favorite thing about this bag is that is great for commuting by bike. I don’t like riding with things in my pockets, but it’s nice to have my valuables snug to my body and on my back and in a bag that doesn’t fall forward or move when riding.
I too bought this bag on impulse off a YouTube ad - thought it could be scammy/poor quality. Very pleased that it was neither.
Pebbles C.
Ashley S asked what ‘tablet’ would fit inside it as is advertised and shown in the video ad. None of hers fit. The answer is this, what was shown was an e-book likely a Kobo. Still a good travel bag with excellent zippers. Just know that an iPad mini likely won’t fit in it.
Bobby S.
Why can’t I order the left hand usable where the bags on the right shoulder?
Bob D.
I bought the over the shoulder bag just before my trip to Lisbon. I was quite concerned regarding pickpockets. There are 400,000 reported pocket events per day in the world. I did not want to be one of those stats. I felt very very safe with the bag. use it for three months in Lisbon and I’m not using it every day here for a month. It is a wonderful product. I keep my wallet, cell phone, sunglasses, notebook, Internet device,. It is so handy. It is so simple. I love it
Scott E.
Unfortunately it didn't arrive in time for my trip to Europe, but I use it all the time in NY. So glad a left handed version was an option. Great product at a great price.
Abby S.
So I’m not sure what tablet they used in the ads to stick in the bag, because even my smallest iPad cannot fit in it at all, which is unfortunate (If it was rectangular, instead of a half-trapezoid, this would not be a problem). However, I’m very pleased with this otherwise! As a woman with my…dimensions (36H), I can confidently say it fits very neatly around the chest (which was a worry for me). The pouches are well designed, the zippers are sturdy, and the strap is butter smooth. It is ever so slightly too small to use as an EDC (this would change if the shape was slightly more practical), but in a travel/light-pack situation it’s brilliant. Good bag!
Collin
Just delivered and is exactly as advertised.
Very pleased.
Gbigmack M.
Great bag for traveling

Seems to allow for easy access to an adequate personal protective device, such as a 380 or small Glock.
David S.
When I saw all of the reviews, I was skeptical that it was not a gimmick. However, took a chance as it did seem like a great product.
Am I glad I did.
To my astonishment, it fits my body like a glove. Nothing bulky, quirky or out of place. It really feels great.
To all of the skeptical, take the chance, you will be happy.
Robert R.
Have to admit I was worried that this was just another scam, but it was not. I am pleasantly surprised with how nicely built it was. Going on a cruise in September, so will be nice having it to carry my important stuff.
Tara L.
I don't know why i bought this bag, I don't usually buy from a computer ad. it is the BEST purchase i have made for my travels. im always looking for the perfect bag and now i have found it. i am so pleased with my LEFT HANDED bag. i had no idea how inconvienced i was using another crossbody bag. Im buying more for Christmas gifts.
Jeffrey B.
Bought one on an impulse. It's easy to use as intended, but most of my wardrobe’s pants have plenty of pockets so I’m divided in choice. My spouse tends to bring home pants for me to try with few or no pockets, and for those few I accept, it is a Godsend.
Linda L.
Great bag. I wish it came in more colors...I highly recommend it to everyone!
Neil J.
I was wowed by my experience with this bag. I ordered it a month before a 2-week trip to Italy, and although it shipped directly from China, it shipped within a few days and I had it in less than 2 weeks. And I received continuously-updated shipping information, which I greatly appreciated. The quality of the bag is excellent. It does indeed fit all the travel items I carry; is comfortable to wear; and easily fits underneath a jacket. Really a standout bag, and the company definitely has their shipping process down to a science. Very happy customer!
Richard E.
This is a step above a fanny pack. Everything is at your fingertips. Secure to your body and ready for easy access. Customer service is upfront and on it. A good purchase.
Stella C.
Does what it says. Very flat to the body, lightweight, easy to wear under a sweater or jacket for your most important things AND wear a pretty purse if that's what you want for less important things. Am going to order more. Don't want to be without one.
Mariana B.
I purchased the personal pocket bag for a vacation in Eastern Europe. I do not have any complains about this great pocket bag; it helped me a lot in a country that I was afraid of thieves. Felt very safe with all my important documents and money secured plus easy to access, if needed, in the bag under my arm and coat. Praise God for it, and for the peace of mind. Thank you.
Ed M.
I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but wow what a quality item right down to the YKK zippers!!! I purchased this for a concealed carry rig and it's perfect. It easily accommodates a full sized pistol, although I'm carrying a SIG 365XL. I really like the availability of a left handed version.
Alonzo E.
I was skeptical about this at first since I’ve run into some…. rather questionable ads on social media.
This is definitely not one of those! I can carry everything I normally would carry in my EDC bag in this one yet, it’s nearly invisible under my jacket. Even with just a shirt, I can still wear it comfortably even when driving, which is critical since I have quick access to my sidearm. I Highly recommend this for anyone who needs to EDC
Linda S.
The design of the bag is excellent. Good pockets in all the right places. Easy to use. Comfortable. The straps and the canvas are good materials. I loved it for a month and then the wear began to appear. The lining seams at the bottom of the pockets broke and my coins started to float throughout the bag, a zipper snagged the lining. It got so it was not working. I really loved this bag and I think you have a good concept. Please charge more and make it with more lasting materials. A light weight leather would be nice.
Peter C.
Great product! I bought this for my trip to Scotland and very glad I did. It kept all my money, passport and itinerary close at hand and readily accessible when going through hectic security lines. Very pleased with the peace of mind it gives me. Very well made and unobtrusive when wearing it.
Brian D.
Just used this bag for a 2 week vacation in Italy.
Easy use in airport and really secure in high people traffic areas around tourist areas in Rome, Venice and Florince. It gives me a great feeling of security
Colleen S.
Just got back from Barcelona, where you are warned about theft. Honestly this bag was like a second skin, very comfortable and hands-free. I love the phone pocket feature for ease and I could jam quite a bit in it throughout the day. My wallet, sunglasses and purchases were all safe and easy to access. It was a necessary, but GREAT purchase.
kevin m.
I had a problem with the delivery, somehow my address was not correct, but Kristine at Valcen fixed that, she contacted me on "the weekend" and straightened out everything in regard to the shipping companies, whom valcen is not responsible for, she went out of her way to make sure I received the bag, which I may add is absolutely great, I breezed through security at the football stadium on the weekend and the bag met all security requirements, I am very happy with this bag.
Symon W.
I have used this Valcen shoulder strap bag for over a year now. This is really the best bag for travelling or moving around ensuring my passport and documents are well kept safe. It is very very handy as I can wear it under my jacket without anyone noticing it. Highly recommended for all travelers or just for daily commute. 2 thumbs up.
Russell D.
I’ve tried this type of bag before and never liked the fit but this fits perfectly. The shoulder strap is really well designed, too. It’s wide but thin and slippery and the buckles are not bulky to be so comfortable you can’t feel the bag at all when wearing it. The pockets are perfectly positioned and I really appreciate that you specified YKK zippers, so I expect they will last. Finally, the material used for the bag feels like it will last and it doesn’t look cheap.
Kudos to whoever designed this.
Monica J.
Have had my bag for close to six months, love it ! I am a 69 yr old female. I love the roominess of this bag plus the security. Wish there were more colors ! ;)
Lynne H.
Just arrived today. Can't wait to use it for traveling or day trips. Wish they came in more colours.
Kayvan B.
This bag is truly amazing it is secure and safe and it is so comfortable to wear. I have been wearing this bag for around 5 months. Honestly this bag for me is very trendy and cool. I really recommend this bag to everyone
Reid C.
Sturdy construction and a well-thought-out design. Assessing durability obviously takes time, but usability is excellent. Comfortable, with multiple pockets for phone, wallet, passport, other stuff. I used it for the first time on a recent trip that included both a lot of city (and airport) walking as well as national park hiking and found it useful every step of the way. Would absolutely buy it again.
John L.
Showed up in time for our Hawaiian vacation. Was great at the airport because I didn't need to have anything in my pockets at TSA. Plenty of room in the pockets and easy to hide under a jacket. Love this bag and would recommend it to anyone wanting convenience and ease of access to your personal possessions. Thank you!

Valcen personal pocket bag
Since the purchase and receipt of the product, here is my interpretation of today’s first usage. I didn’t make this purchase on a whim despite the countless number of commercials popping up during my endless times of playing free games. It was a decision I knew I had to make. My jeans’ pockets were bulging, and it was hard to pull down my pants every time I had to visit the ladies’ room. There were other reasons like a couple of my coworkers had keys to almost every locker’s lock, and they do pry it open without the owners’ consent. One of them had some decency to leave a dollar coin once their cell phone’s charged with my cell phone’s charger. I said enough is enough. I had to make this Valcen purchase. Today was an interesting day, trying out the product. I think it was more like an off day than my day off. As I prepared to walk the dog, I figured I wear their product as according to their instructions. After all, it was the reason of my purchase. I hid it under my sweater as instructed, despite the warm to hot temperatures under the bright sunny blue sky. I put the items into the bag what I thought I would want during my working hours, namely my wallet, my cell phone and its charger. This was my intention, namely to hide these items when I’m away from my locker. Gasp! As I try to look at my feet! I had never been pregnant before, most likely I never will, but wearing this Valcen bag with my stuff made me about five to six months on. My navy blue sweater doesn’t do the right trickery either! Despite my protruding front, I still headed out the door with the leash in hand. Now, most people will do anything to hide their treasures away from thieves, and the thought of any sign of their most important values as an easy target, does not make the heart growing less in fear. Mine was protruding from my belly under a sweater in the heat of the summer sun. As I sweat to bend down to pick up the dog’s poop as it’s illegal to leave such a thing behind, I begin to understand the pregnant ladies’ point of view. How in the world did those models do it? My belly isn’t lean nor fit, and I’m not in my twenties either. I’m in my sixties. Any elderly can tell you to be aware of becoming a victim especially at this age or older. I am not fluffy nor big, but I could stand to lose twenty pounds to be trim. The bag was great when it arrived with proper zippers that open and close when I needed them to. The straps were adjustable to my comfort, and no bag should be without them. As I continued walking the dog, I see other dog walkers in their T-shirts and even shorts, I deterred from condemning myself in this ridiculous outfit. It’s the ad and their instructions, I thought, laughing at the thought of it. When I arrived home, here’s my review. It’s a great product. The very thought of producing such an item was an opportunity to anyone who’s been a victim. If you give out something silent but deadly in addition when you think a thief will steal from you, then nothing will deter them from taking your Valcen bag either. Overall, here’s another tidbit: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”
(1 Timothy 6:10 NIV) “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.””
(Hebrews 13:5 NIV)
Thank you, Valcen company, for making this interesting product for people like myself to enjoy, even the hilarity of it all at my expense.
Michael C.
After a couple months I found another compartment, awesome practicle accessory.
Bill C.
Exactly the quality, fit and function I anticipated. Thank you.
Robert H.
Purchased the personal pocket bag for a holiday in Eastern Europe. Felt very safe with all my important documents and money secured plus easy to access, if needed, in the bag under my arm and coat. But it gets better. I had a problem with one of the zippers. I advised Kristine from Valcen and the problem was rectified immediately. Fantastic customer service! If you are thinking of purchasing a personal bag for travelling get a Valcen. Don't even consider another brand.
Patrick G.
I have been using this bag for 2 months now and I love it.
Alex C.
The overall design of the bag is really good and surprisingly holds a lot more stuff then it seems.
However, I the belt that connects to the magnetic clip appears to be too long and I had to manually adjust it to clip on each time. I am guessing I could use a double sided tape to resolve this issue for me.
Dal L.
I bought this before traveling to Ecuador 01/01/- 02/24/23.
I have used a standard money belt for the past 2 years in Costa Rica and Mexico. This shoulder belt is so much better than the money belt.
It is better concealed and easier to access reaching in through a jacket or shirt. It has ample storage in its 3 zippered and 1 magnetically clasped pockets.
The only improvements I can think of are a lighter color version to go under light weight fabric and colored shirts and an secure and yet easily detachable clasp on the shoulder strap to make it easily, quickly and discretely removable.
The price is reasonable, the delivery was quick I am very impressed with the company and product.
Rafael P.
Is good and safe to have that hide your your stuff
Marianne
Perfect fit! This is the most comfortable bag I ever tried wearing.
Liam P.
This bag is perfect for my daily commute. Having all my things on my chest is a pretty big perk when I’m seated in a packed train and don’t want to dig through my pockets. Now I can keep my e-reader with me to make the most out of my travel time, and with a jacket on top I no longer worry about thieves. I don’t think I have ever come across a better thought out design for daily carry
Joel
Simply genius. Love it!
Finley
When I bought this bag I didn't even realize how much I needed it. I've had it for about 3 months now and use it every day. Phone, earbuds, wallet, and some personal items are with me at all times and I don't even think about it. I can definitely say that it's one of those items that I don't know how I could live without before, like that one sweater that's always the goto.
Jen
I will never go back to my regular purse! This is more comfortable and more convenient. Every pocket is perfectly placed and the right size. I also appreciate the anti pickpocket zippers and like to wear it under a jacket to feel completely safe when I travel alone.
Lonnie V.
I really love it. I had a small tear in the lining and immediately Valcen replaced it. The customer services department are caring, professional and efficient. I have purchased 5 for all my family members. We all are very satisfied and I will give them to friends for gifts. Thank you. LV
Jeremy
It’s good for right handed person. Wish it can have the option of wearing it over the left shoulder for a left handed person. The option of a smaller size (2/3 the current size) would be good. Otherwise, I very good/useful product
Garrett H.
I just got 2 of them in the mail today! I tried it on and was a bit skeptical at first, but WOW, these things are AMAZING!! The pockets are super deep, and are perfect for my trip this weekend! I have to put my phone in a different pocket than the one advertised but that's no big deal. It can definitely hold like chargers in the back big pocket with ease! Would HIGHLY Recommend these things!
J H.
I am very happy with the two purses I bought for my husband and myself. I like the design, and I am very happy with the quality of the materials. But I am most impressed with their customer service. When they arrived one purse had a defect. My email was answered promptly and a replacement quickly ordered and on its way to me. The issue could not have been handled better, very impressive. .
Traci J.
I love this bag. The weight distribution is perfect. It doesn’t pull on my neck or make my back hurt. I am plus size, fuller figured, and the bag still conforms to my body while remaining accessible. I adore that the company allows you the right or left handed option. As a southpaw, this is the first company that I found that considered that.
George P.
I like the bag very practical. What I'm not happy with is that when I open one of the zippers to get my wallet the zipper keeps coming off due to nothing is at the end of the zipper to stop that from happening. Very frustrating, I have to figure out a way to stop it from happening.
Barbara S.
Since I have gotten older I have hated carrying my purse. I ordered the first one that hangs across my shoulders. PERFECT! Now I have ordered one for my sister. She saw it and said she wanted one. It’s just a bag you can wear to the store and not have to worry about putting it in your shopping cart and someone grabbing it. And it’s comfortable. I would love to see it in different colors. I and My sister Thank you❤️
Jean A.
My first bag had a defect, Customer Service Associates at Valcen were Great! Quick response to my inquiry. Very professional and helpful. Promptly sent out a new bag. I have just received it and it is perfect. I am an extremely satisfied customer and highly recommend Valcen. They back their merchandise and take care of their customers.
Brenda C.
I have been using mine daily for over a year and still as good as new very happy
Noel D.
If order one,how long it takes for the delevery,im in Alberta Canada right now,a week or a month?
Ken H.
Unlike other "man bags" this one actually looks like it was designed for men and doesn't feel like a purse (not that there's anything wrong with a man carrying a purse!). I am a righty but purposely bought the left shoulder version and it's very comfortable. The only small complaint I have is that the back side that sits next to your body needs to be a bit more padded as the bag loses its shape if you carry bulky stuff and the padding would help insulate the item (like sunglass cases) from digging into your ribs. I added a foam insert in the largest pocket to do just that but just sayin'...
Nichole J.
Used it on a recent tour. Was amazed over the space and pockets in this little bag. I feel so much safer when I wear it under my jacket when going through crowds. Recommended!
Katie R.
When at the beach, I always feel so paranoid when leaving my stuff to go for a swim. By hiding it all in this bag, beneath a towel, I feel so much safer!
Emeka A.
So far so good! Just recieved mine and it's very nice, wonder how long the material will hold up. Might get the premium bag as well, but personal bag is nice
Darleen C.
I'm fully in love with this bag
Diane
My hubby was the one who purchased it for himself but I ended up with it. I tend not to carry a purse due to my rambunctious kids & only need it to fit my "basics". Very light weight, durable material. Not bulky & doesn't get in the way. No Complaints from this Momma...
Alexander
I personally love the zippered pockets the most, great storage space !
Lemont M.
Holds everything I fit in my pants pockets plus more. Fits my 9mm shield.
Santa Bob
Bought one several months ago because I was advised to keep my pants pickets clear to prevent pressure on my legs. The bag has become my “pockets.” Light, plenty of room for keys, wallet and phone.
Shelley G.
I used this bag on a recent tour through Hungary, Austria, Germany and The Czech Republic. Loved it!! It is well-thought out, comfortable, and secure.
Tanya H.
My new favorite. Better than a traditional purse.
Mark
Unfortunately shipping issues NOT THE FAULT OF VALCEN. Refunded promptly with great communication. Would order again !
Phillip S.
I just started. using the bag. So far it's pretty good. As others have commented before me the one weakness is the weak magnet used to secure the tab to secure a phone. It should be a stronger magnet or a snap. It open way to easily. But, apart from that, which I'll change myself, it's awell designed and very comfortable bag.
Christine D.
Love it. Both hands free when shopping. Feel very safe with it even if you don't put under your coat. Only thing I think I got wrong, it sits on my left shoulder but I'm right handed. Think I should have had one for my right shoulder as you would carry a bag. Still excellent just had to get used to it. Well worth the money top quality.
REBECCA V.
Curious.... there isn't a location for glasses/ sunglasses :(
BIG BAD M.
Looks like glorified man purse. Will it hold a 1911 ?
Victoria B.
Love the lightweight and the zippers seem really high quality. Love the grey material - really sleek. I have hopes that this bag will be my go-to for several years! One problem: the phone pocket snap isn’t strong enough and my phone has fallen out. I’d like to see this pocket have a sturdier closure like a zipper or other strong connector.
Chelle
I love the cool design. Very well thought out. Because the size is small, it's helping me to reduce all the unecessary things I usually stuff in a small backpack!
Torey B.
Really nice little bag. Doesn’t give me a backache like other messenger-style bags. Very comfortable. In future versions, **please** include an interior key clip to attach keys, wallets, etc!
Karen
Been using for a few days. Love it. One of my best purchases ever.
Denise N.
Oops that should read I got it ready for my holiday soon but will use it beforehand Love it
Denise N.
Received mine at the weekend I love it hot it ready for holiday soon but will use it beforehand Very comfortable and useful Thank you
Cherie D.
So pleased with this bag, plenty of zipped pockets, comfortable to wear and sturdy without being heavy
Sharon
It looks like it will serve my purpose (get rid of a purse) when traveling. Fits over my shoulder properly, adjustable strap. My only negative at this point is the crinkly lining in the pockets. Noisy.
Barb
As A grandparent with 3 little ones, I value this pouch and recommend it as a hands-free item. I use it every time we go on a shopping or fun adventure and it hides under an open shirt laying flat for easy access.
James
Love this product. Use it daily every time i go out
Juliet
I never go back to write reviews, but this one really deserved 5/5 stars. Have used it plenty, but it keeps on surprising me how glad I am for having it.
Alexandra
Works pretty good.
