This Stylish $25 Anti-Theft Crossbody From Target Is Essential for Safe Summer Travel

Being a smart traveler is all about planning ahead, and this isn’t limited to remembering your passport, adapters, airplane comforts and sunscreen (although, SPF isn’t to be forgotten). As unfortunate as it is, your packing list should include an anti-theft bag, and this Target-exclusive crossbody is a definite favorite in terms of price, appearance and, of course, design.

If you’re active on TikTok, you’ve likely seen the increase in accounts calling out pickpockets and the increased vigilance as people head out for summer travel. In addition to being more aware of your surroundings, many people have urged travelers to invest in an anti-theft bag for airports, train stations and day-to-day activities. Target’s best-selling Anti-Theft Travel Hip Pack Bag (which doubles as a crossbody) checks all the boxes.

Open Story Anti-Theft Travel Hip Pack Bag

This Target exclusive features a main zippered compartment with an exterior zip pocket for easy access to your phone, keys and the like. Both zippers easily latch onto a hook on the bag so pickpockets can’t swipe your items when you aren’t looking. The fabric, crafted from recycled polyester, is both slash-proof and water-repellant. It’s also RFID blocking to protect against credit card skimming.

The bag has an adjustable strap allowing it to be worn on the hips or as a crossbody (great for the trend-forward traveler), and the sage green shade adds a welcome pop of color that isn’t overbearing. Score it for $25 at target.com and shop a few more favorite anti-theft bags and backpacks below.
