Bags at concerts & other high-security venues

How's your experience? I'm worried about bumping and wrestling with em in a big crowd.

My experience is great, which is why they’re my bags of choice!
Before my original black lamb Chanel WoC was stolen a year ago, it had been going to pro sporting events, concerts, traveling, even caught in the rain in Rome! I carried it for probably 12-15 years and it was still immaculate.

The thing to do is check the venue and event restrictions beforehand so you don't end up checking a bag. I don't bring valuable bags to crowd events - plenty of beer has been poured on my bags at games and concerts over the years!

As far as I know, the bag size restriction is 35cm x 20cm x 30cm and no selfie sticks/tripods allowed. The Mini square fits, but those things are what I'm scared of too. Thanks for the insights!

I have season tickets to the Washington Capitals. I've always been able to bring in my Hermes TPM Evelyne to the arena. But @QuelleFromage makes an excellent point to check with the venue first.

One other thing, check out Marfa Stance www.marfastance.com. Her jackets and vests have great interior and exterior pockets that can easily carry keys, wallet, etc. I met the designer at a trunk show and she said she designed the items to enable people to not have to carry a bag. I own a jacket and two vests, and they are marvelous.

Ohh wow thank you for sharing, i browsed through their website, the idea is amazing and they look very stylish too! Thanks! I will definitely consider this option.

Oh my sorry to hear that your WoC got stolen. Thank you for sharing. I don't own a Chanel WoC, but can this be my sign to buy one?
