Too Many Zippers

[LizF]

Am I the only one who worries that too many zippered comparments makes one more liable to theft and pick-pocketing from one's handbag? I get so nervous aboout carrying big bags with eight million compartments, because I don't feel like it's the safest idea.

it is not safe..especially now that thieves are getting better and better..i like the compartments inside...not outside

I also dislike pockets on the outside. my leather backpack has two zippered compartments on the outside.
I keep ladies things in one and just paper and pens in the other. I keep cash hidden.
the center main compartment has 2 zippers. I have yet to glue one shut.....
whats funny is in all the years I was in manhatten I never got picked in my backpacks or my purse, but I dropped some change down the toilet and that was was hysterically funny........

hahaha...i think there's a thing now called bag organizers so you wont have difficulty finding stuff if you have a big bag...it's like a cabinet made of cloth...full of compartments but still small enough for your bag...

Not only is it better for pick-pockets to rob you. Sometimes too many zippers make the bag look just plain ugly.
