I have been using my OTG GM tote for a month now and love it. Love the two ways to carry, straps or handles, and so much room. They sell organizers that zip for a more secure feel. It also comes in mm size if you don't want the Gm size. Just a thought!
Sorry to revive this thread from 100 years ago. But I will be starting work in philly and wasn’t sure if I should use my Neverfull s a work bag as a fear of being targeted. Did you ever have any issues with this?
Hello! No, no issues with my NF in the City. I t may depend on what area you are working in, I don't take public transportation, I drive into the city. I walk a block and half to my office and I see other designer brands as well.
I actually lived in center city and had seen a purse snatched from a girl that was definitely a tourist. This was about 2019 but I have forever been scared to enjoy my bags. The girl was holding her bag crook of the arm and a guy ran up behind her, slipped his arm in the strap drop and ran, the force easily ripped it off of her arm. Now I am working back in the Rittenhouse/center city area again so wondering if it will be ok these days.
I moved from Philly back in 2016- but at that time, I carried my neverfull around a lot for work in Center City. We still go back at least once a year- and I’ve never had any issues carrying a designer bag.
** all that said- Its never a bad idea to be cautious- Philly has had an increase in crime in recent years

These days I don't carry my designer bags into area I'm not comfortable with, if I have to, I'm out the car get into the store then come out the store get into the car right away, I don't carry a designer bag walk on streets, heard too many broad daylight robbery stories lately. Last time I went into downtown for my macbook repair, in the past I would carry one of my designer bags, but that time I took a non deisgner backpack, rather be safe than sorry.
