Afar Names Our Anti-Theft Purse One of the Best Gifts for Travelers
When a leading travel publication curates its ultimate holiday gift list, every spot on the page is carefully earned. We’re proud that the Anti-Theft Rachel Bloom Purse was selected by Afar’s editors as a standout gift for travelers who want both elevated style and hidden, smart security.
Why this Afar feature matters
Afar’s editors and contributors spend their time on planes, in hotels, and on the road, testing travel gear in the real world. Their annual gift guide is a curated list of products they genuinely use and love—across tech, luggage, accessories, and more.
Being included in this guide, alongside some of the most respected names in travel, is a meaningful validation of our mission: to build the smartest, most secure, and most beautiful anti-theft handbags for modern travelers.
Afar highlighted how our purse can be unlocked from your phone and protected with advanced alerts and tracking—making it a thoughtful gift for anyone who wants peace of mind on the move, without sacrificing their personal style.
What Afar loved about the Anti-Theft Rachel Bloom Purse
In their Travel Bags & Luggage section, Afar spotlighted the way our smart security is quietly built into a classic leather silhouette. From the outside, it looks like a timeless designer bag. Inside, it’s a vault.
Fingerprint unlock
Just like your phone, the bag can be unlocked with your fingerprint—keeping your essentials accessible to you, and only you.
App-based control
Use the Rachel Bloom app to lock or unlock your bag remotely and customize your security settings in a few taps.
Optional GPS tracking
Add GPS so you can quickly see where your bag is if it’s misplaced or taken while you’re on the road.
Distance monitoring alerts
Set a distance alarm so your phone warns you if your bag strays too far from your side in busy airports or city streets.
Slash-resistant construction
Hidden cut-resistant materials help protect against slash-and-grab theft attempts, giving you extra confidence in crowded areas.
Timeless leather design
Afar loved that the purse looks like an elegant everyday bag—its security features are invisible to everyone but you.
Designed for travelers who refuse to choose between style and safety
This feature underscores what our community has been telling us since day one: travelers are tired of choosing between “practical but ugly” bags and beautiful designer handbags that offer little protection.
Rachel Bloom bags are designed to move seamlessly from airport security to dinner reservations, blending luxury details with serious protection against modern theft.
