Here's your travel tip - safety pins.
I know a lot of people are very concerned about the safety of purses and backpacks and camera bags when traveling. There is an easy and cheap solution to this - saftey pins.
Just use the safety pin to close up the zipper on your purse, backpack, camera bag, murse, man bag, etc.
It's cheap, still allows you easy access to your bag and makes a thief look elsewhere for a target - struggle with a safety pin and risk getting caught or find some other unsuspecting victim????
As an extra added bonus you can use your safety pin if your zipper breaks, button falls off, or any other wardrobe malfunction.
