I've been pickpocketed more times than I can count so I got serious about my anti-theft protections. Now I stay ready with the items I included below and I haven't had an issue with pickpocketing since! The first two lists are the items I actually us...

Bags I Use
Lockable, anti-theft bags that I use on every trip. I'll regularly update this list if I swap one bag out for a new one :)
We all need a cute going-out purse. This one is cute, light-weight, and has a lock for the zipper so nobody can get in. This is the only purse I travel with
Vantamo Crescent RFID Half Moon Clutch
Obsessed with this bag. Light-weight, water-proof, lockable, holds a lot, and looks like the Lululemon crossbody bag except it's more protective.
Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag Travel Lightweight
The same daily cross-body bag I use, but in white
Anti-Theft Fanny Pack for Women & Men, Beige
I ONLY use this for flying. It's very touristy and bulky for daily use, but for flight days it holds everything and has a ton of compartments.
Travelon Anti-Theft Metro Waist Pack
Accessories I Love
The only accessories I currently use to keep my valuables secure
This wrist strap has the best phone attachment piece (it's made of medal). Every other wrist trap I've tried (at least 5) have broken eventually but this one is holding up
saxsion Self-Locking Phone Lanyard, Black
I'm loyal to ClutchLoop because of the quality and steel line (can't cut through it)
ClutchLoop Anti-Theft Phone Tether with Locking Carabiner
Always have an airtag
Apple AirTag 2nd Gen 4 Pack - Key Finder
Air tag batteries because it's always when your air tag isn't working that the airline loses your bag. Stay ready!
Duracell 2032 Lithium Battery, 4 Count
Lock your zippers on any bag
Zpsolution Zipper Clip Theft Deterrent
More Ideas
These are items I have my eye on but don't personally use, so if you try any of them let me know how it goes!
Wait I LOOVE this one. Expensive but now it's on my wishlist because it's really cute!! Arden Cove is a higher-end anti-theft bag brand
Arden Cove Anti-Theft Waterproof Crossbody Bag
Another item I'm considering getting! I love the wallet design and the fact that it has a chain you can attach to your bag or to a clutch loop
FurArt RFID Blocking Zipper Wallet KeyChain
Anti-theft backpack
Baggallini Securtex® Anti-theft Travel Backpack
A more affordable ClutchLoop – I can't speak to the quality though
Kaptron Retractable Phone Tether & Keychain
Some people prefer the cross-body phone strap instead of the wrist strap!
Normally Travelon is ugly but this one is cute and comes in nice colors
Travelon Anti-Theft Metro Small Crossbody
People rave about Faraday bags but I've never used one and don't know when you might use it!
PRIMERIVER Faraday Bag - RFID & Signal Block
Similar to Arden Cove but much more affordable. Can't say how good it is but there are good reviews
Women's Leather Crossbody Bag RFID Blocking
I might get this – it's light enough to pack easily and I would use it to take my laptop to coffee shops for working. An easy-to-pack backpack is one thing I've really been missing
Travelon Anti-Theft Signature Slim Backpack
Not my style of cross-body but really cute and the faux leather elevates it
INICAT Leather Small Sling Anti Theft Bag
Another version of the zipper clips. I don't use this one but it looks secure!
Bobino Zipper Clip Anti Theft Lock 2 Pack
I REALLY like this for beaches and pools. You need a chair or something to lock it to, but even just having your valuables in a code-locked bag gives you peace of mind
Beach Locking Bag 9x7.5 Inch Portable Safe
Belt and backpack clip for your phone, same idea as the other tethers but also has magsafe for your phone
Magnetic Belt Clip Phone Holder with Anti Theft Chain
