Wow. I was really surprised to hear that this was a new channel. You seem so comfortable in front of the camera, your descriptions and explanations were concise and clear. Even your editing was good. I think you’re going to do well here. Also, thank you for showing some thing new. I really like that bag, and have never seen anything quite like it. A lot of KZitemrs show all of the same stuff all of the time. I really appreciated seeing something new here, I thoroughly enjoyed the video and will be back. Thanks and good luck with your new channel!

Question: Do you happen to remember the name of the brand for the bag you carried for decades? Because I wanna check this out for some reason. Also Minooy has got many spacious bags. The crossbody bags are my favorite because you don’t have to bring a wallet and you can attach the keys onto it as well. The Thea is my second favorite bag but the Naya is my most favorite. I don’t have any of them but the Naya is what I prefer to have for so many reasons. What I like the most about Thea and Naya are the pockets designed for glasses and to keep em safe

I am with you 100% on the Thea and the Naya - they are both so perfectly designed! I believe my old bag was a BOHO brand? I bought it out of the Sundance catalog many, many years ago but they don't make it anymore. Believe me, I looked! :)

@5MinuteTravel
Жыл бұрын
Hi @addyskarunaratne6543 - I hear this a lot! Here are my thoughts on this. These bags are definitely secure and will likely stop most thieves. That said, the only people who carry bags like the ones you mention, are tourists. In my opinion, they make you stand out as someone who has something to steal. I personally prefer to do what I would do if visiting any city in my home country, which is use what I normally would use in my everyday life. If you go to Paris, London, Madrid, Rome...none of the locals are using security bags because they are cities like any other. Thieves and pickpockets tend to be where crowds of tourists are so it's fairly clear when and where you may be at risk. When in a place like that, you simply keep your hand on your bag and keep control of your bag. Thieves don't slash bags or cut them off of you - it's pickpockets that are the worry when it comes to bags and crowded places. If you keep your hand on the zippered part of the bag, keep it in front of you, and keep your valuables in that part of the bag, then you are fine. I spend every summer in crowded European cities, and have never had anyone be successful at picking my pocket or purse. It's when you are distracted and not paying attention to your bag when things happen.

Thanks so much for your comments! I try to be clear and am working on being concise...so much to say!! 😆 Minooy has quite a few other handbags that work for various needs when it comes to the "stuff" you want to have with you. I would also recommend the Athena if you have a little more or the Eirene if you have a little less. I like their Bali bag but I'm not a fan of the way cards are stored in this configuration...seems like they would be easy pickings for a good pick pocket as the cards are kept in an exterior, fold down pocket! Layovers are totally stressful! I hope that the tips help - Happy travels!

Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been traveling, holidays, etc. For a 3-week trip, the Athena is a little larger and holds more. The advantage to the Thea is the double-sided card holder panel AND the two slots specifically designed for sunglasses.

Do you sight see with a battery backup pack? I find I need an extra battery because I use maps, check times and listen to music. Would this purse accommodate a battery and cord? I think I will just take my collapsable cup to Paris. Do you know if water is readily available in Paris? In some cities, there are public water fountains.
@5MinuteTravel
Жыл бұрын
Yes! I think it would accommodate that. There are VERY thin battery packs now that are quite thin and not that heavy. This summer I'm going to test drive one from TG90 that was recommended by a friend. It has very short cords that tuck into the side of the pack so it is less bulky and your phone can easily recharge while it's in your bag. To your second question, yes! Paris prides itself on the quality of their municipal water and making it available to everyone. This is the link to the website that shows you where they all are. Click on "Water Points" on the far left of the screen and it shows the map. The antique Wallace fountains are worth seeking out - they are iconic in the city.
