‘Very comfy to wear and was big enough for my purse, passport, hair brush, phone etc.’
Holiday season is fast approaching and if people are planning to hop on a plane, train or Christmas market coach trip, they may want travel gear that is reliable. Enter Simplify Living which is an Australian-born travel brand, which is now launching in the UK with its biggest-ever early Black Friday sale, offering up to 60% off across the entire range through October and November.
The Aussie brand is used by more than 250,000 travellers and their sale includes everything from compression packing cubes to anti-theft crossbody bags that are dubbed as ‘everyday armour’. Now, shoppers can grab the Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag for £23 down from £51, saving them 55% off their purchase.
The bag comes in 14 different colours, from grey to black and even a bright hot pink. Shoppers can also choose a right-handed one, which sits on the right shoulder and the bag goes on the left side of the body, or left handed, which means the strap sits on the left shoulder and the bag goes on the right side of the body, depending on which is best for them individually.
This bag has multiple compartments, hidden pockets and zippers, plus four additional pockets for storage. It is also RFID blocking, which protects against electronic skimming, has a slash proof strap and is lightweight and durable.
According to the site, it is made from premium-quality and padded polyester, but more importantly, the adjustable strap ranges from 80 to 110cm, so it can be tailored to individual size and needs. The brand also has Compression Packing Cubes available for £38, down from £68, giving customers 45% off their purchase.

The bag comes in 14 different colours
The cubes have been rated as ‘excellent’ on Trustpilot and they also come in a range of colours, depending on what shoppers’ preferences are. According to Simplify Living, they increase packing space by up to 60% while at the same time, organising clothes to keep everything neat and tidy.
The cubes are lightweight and durable, have reinforced zippers, easy carry handles and label icons on each one so it’s quick to identify what is what. They also have breathable mesh panels for ‘visibility and freshness’.
Amazon also has a range of anti-theft travel bags on offer. For example, its DAITET Money Belt for £11.98, which is a number one best-seller and is available in a range of colours.
This bag has anti-theft RFID blocking material, comes with a wide durable strap and is waterproof. Mountain Warehouse has a simple Mission Bum Bag 1.5L for £9.99 in the colours khaki and black that is lightweight, has a clip buckle, zipped closure and is also water resistant.
Shoppers have praised the Simplify Living products, however, as one person said: “Used my bag for the first time whilst travelling in Barcelona and Pisa and felt totally confident that my possessions were safe. Very comfy to wear and was plenty big enough for my purse, passport, hair brush, phone etc. Love the bright pink colour too!”
Another wrote: “So happy I bought this bag! My anti-theft crossbody bag is my everyday armour – sleek, secure, and surprisingly spacious. It hugs close like a trusted companion, keeping my essentials safe without sacrificing style. The hidden zippers and RFID protection give me peace of mind, while the lightweight design makes it feel like freedom on my shoulder. I don’t just carry it – I rely on it.”
Some had hesitations about the length, as one buyer said: “This bag is comfortable to wear. Love all the colours it comes in. As others have mentioned, wish it was a few inches longer. It did hold more than I expected. I used it on a trip out to eastern Canada!”
Overall, most people were pleased though. One said: “It’s great not to have a heavy shoulder bag weighing me down. My daughter persuaded me to try a cross-body bag, and I don’t regret it. There’s room for my purse, phone, keys, make-up etc. and it’s so much more comfortable than my old bag, I hardly know I’m carrying anything.”
The Anti-theft bag is available from Simplify Living.
