Which one should you buy?

For most women the anti-theft PINCNEL purse-backpack is the sweet spot: from about $42, waterproof, and by far the most-reviewed bag here. Spend up on the S-ZONE leather if you want one bag for the next decade, or grab the MATEIN mini from around $32 if you just need a light daily carry.
