The Carryfront Method
It is not the fabric that gets you robbed. It is the position.
Every seasoned traveller does the same thing in a crowd. They pull their bag round to the front and rest a hand on it. It works, and it has worked for decades, and until now nobody built a bag designed to be worn that way from the start.
Ask anyone who has actually been pickpocketed and you hear the same story. It was not a cut strap. It was a bag behind them, or a pocket they had been opening all afternoon and left open once.
“I made mistake of tucking phone in pocket of cross body but not fastening it as I had it in and out a lot, and it was pickpocketed without me feeling a thing, right from under my nose.”A traveller on a public forum. Not a Carryfront customer.
Nothing about that is a materials problem. It is a position and closure problem. So that is the problem we built for.
High on the chest, never behind you
Cut and strapped to sit on your front, not on your hip. A bag you have to remember to protect is a bag you will forget to protect.
Zips that finish against your body
To open one, a hand has to come across your front, in your sightline, and work backwards. That is not a lock. It is an angle nobody can get.
Everything under your own hand
Phone, passport, cards and keys. You never turn your back to a crowd to open it, and you never take it off in a station to find something.
What we are not going to claim
This bag is not slash-proof. It has no steel mesh, no lock and no RFID lining, and we are not going to imply otherwise. If someone is determined and armed, no forty pound bag is going to save you, and anybody telling you different is selling you a feeling.
What it does is make you a harder target than the person next to you. In a crowd, that is the thing that actually decides it.
Why people keep it on
Built to be worn, not endured
Slim enough to go under a jacket
It is a flat panel, not a pouch. Under a coat it reads as nothing at all, which is rather the point.
Everything in one place, in front of you
Phone, passport, cards, keys, a charger. All reachable with one hand, without taking anything off in a station.
It does not look like security equipment
The usual complaint about armoured bags is not that they fail. It is that they are heavy and rigid and announce themselves.
It works on the way to work too
The Tube at half eight is the same crowd as the Ramblas at noon. Most people who buy it for one trip wear it on Tuesdays.
Thirteen colours
Pick one that looks like you, not like a security product. Choose a different colour for each bag in a set.
Let us get this out of the way
Yes, you can find a bag that looks like this for about nine pounds.
We are telling you because you would find it anyway, and we would rather you heard it from us. Here is what the nine pound version does not come with.
| The £9 listing | Carryfront | |
|---|---|---|
| Arrives | Three to five weeks, typically | 7 working days |
| If it is wrong for you | You pay to send it back, if you can | 60 days, we pay the postage |
| If something goes wrong | A form, and then silence | One inbox, a person, within a working day |
| The bag itself | Much the same, honestly | Much the same, honestly |
You are not paying forty pounds for the fabric. You are paying for the bag turning up before your flight, and for someone being there if it does not.
If none of that matters to you, buy the nine pound one. Genuinely. We would rather lose the sale than have you feel stung later.
Where the method comes from
We did not invent front-carry. We built the bag for it.
Seasoned travellers have been doing this for decades without a product to help them. Below are people on a public forum, talking to each other, with nothing to sell.
“I keep my hand on the purse and pull it in front of me in crowded situations and public transit, and of course use situational awareness.”
Traveller on a public forum. Not a Carryfront customer.“That was the type of bag I used for travel for countless years and never had a problem.”
Traveller on a public forum. Not a Carryfront customer.“If he insists on carrying a wallet, put it in a front pocket, preferably one with a zippered closure.”
Traveller on a public forum. Not a Carryfront customer.“My only personal experience with street theft in Europe was a zippered belt pouch worn in front.”
The one that argues against us. We are leaving it in.Front-carry is not magic. It is better odds, and the last card above is the proof that it is only odds. We would rather you bought it knowing that.
Risk, ours
The 60-Day Carry-It-Anywhere Guarantee
Take it on the trip. Actually use it. Stuff it under an aeroplane seat, sweat on it, spill something on it.
If it is not the bag you reach for, tell us within 60 days and we refund you in full. We pay the return postage. You do not need a reason and you will not be asked to write one.
We are specific about the postage because the category is not. It is common to advertise a risk-free trial and then quietly ask the customer to pay to send it back. That is not a guarantee, it is a leaflet.
Questions asked before buying
The honest answers
Do these bags actually work, or is it a false sense of security?
Fair question, and the honest answer is partly both. A bag cannot make you un-robbable, and any brand promising that is lying to you. What front-carry does is remove the two things a pickpocket needs: a blind spot and an easy opening. It moves you from the easiest person in the carriage to one of the harder ones. That is a real effect and it is also the limit of the claim.
Why not just buy the nine pound one?
You can, and we have said so higher up this page. The difference is a delivery date you can plan around, a guarantee we pay the postage on, and someone who answers your email. If those do not matter for your trip, buy the cheap one.
Will it get here before I fly?
7 working days to a UK address. Order by the date shown at checkout and you will have it in time. If we are going to miss that, we will email you before it happens and you can cancel for a full refund.
Is it big enough?
Phone, passport, wallet, keys, a charger and a small water bottle. It is deliberately not a day bag. It is the bag for the things that ruin the holiday if they go missing.
Does it look like a bum bag?
No. It is a flat panel worn high on the chest rather than a pouch on the waist, and under a jacket it does not read at all. Thirteen colours, none of them tactical.
Can I wear it at home, not just travelling?
Most people end up doing exactly that. Rush hour, festivals, football, Christmas markets. The crowd is the thing, not the country.
What if I do not like it?
Sixty days, full refund, we pay the postage.
1,292 public reviews of this exact bag
These are not our reviews. They are the bag's.
Carryfront is new, so none of these are ours and we are not going to pretend otherwise. This is the public record for the identical bag sold in the US under another label, collected by the review platform Okendo. Unedited, critical ones included.

Public review, US listing“Pleased that it expands and fits phone, keys, small package of wipes perfectly with still room… it has become my everyday bag now.”
Public review, US listing“I like how there are a few zippered pockets. I can keep track of what I have and where it is. Great product and very comfortable to wear.”
Public review, US listing“It's easy to put on and I can leave it on when in a car with my seatbelt on.”
Public review, US listing“good strong material. good quality… only downside for me is the strap length is a bit too short. need at least 2 more inches.”
Critical review, kept in“My wallet doesn't fit, so i have to take cards etc out of my wallet… A little uncomfotable around my neck. Mostly okay”
Critical review, kept in“Ok but a bit cheap looking for the price”
Critical review, kept inWhat the critical ones say, and what we do about it
The complaint that repeats most. If it does not sit where you want it, that is exactly what the 60 days and the paid return postage are for.
It is not a day bag and we say so higher up the page. Phone, passport, wallet, keys, a charger. If you need more than that, this is the wrong bag.
We told you a bag like this exists for about nine pounds. That review is the same fact, said by someone who paid.
