Simplify Living offers effective space-saving solutions and secure bags that are well-suited for international travel. While customer service is often helpful, inconsistencies in material quality and a difficult return process are notable drawbacks. International shipping from China can also result in longer wait times.
I've recently placed 2 orders with Simplify Living and I would happily shop with them again. I love my travel Convertible Ant-Theft Cross Body bag and the colour choices are lovely (I bought a black one but considering getting another)! Personally, I would have preferred if the main section had zips on both sides instead of just the one. But… Read more · 1
other than that, it's great. I had an issue with my second order and the customer service assistant who addressed and resolved it could not have been nicer (Ericka). She was very understanding, efficient and my Simplify Living experience could not have been better, largely thanks to her!
I bought a universal travel adapter and a set of 8 wheel protectors. Both these items are very good and will be great when we next travel overseas. I bought them on the Black Friday sale, so they were a reasonable price.
I have ordered twice from this company and their products are really good quality and well priced. Customer service is great and postage costs are reasonable. Will definitely buy from them again in the future. Show details

We travel in a Sprinter Campervan which has limited storage space. Storing clothes has always been an issue. We recently purchased 3 sets of cubes. The first 2 photos show 7 days storage of winter clothes where I compacted the cubes. The last 2 photos shows 2 weeks of winter clothes with the cubes not being compacted. Have told fellow… Read more
campervan travellers and they are excited to purchase. Definitely a game changer. Can't wait till summer as I think I will get approx. 3 weeks worth of clothing in the cubes.
I bought 2 Anti-Theft Crossbody bags, 1 for my Mum and 1 for myself, for travelling overseas. They arrived sooner than expected which was wonderful, and I had emails at every step of the process Show details
Truly the best compression packing cells I have ever used, and I've tried quite a few! The double zipper compresses your clothes into the smallest package, I fitted 5 dresses into the large cell, definitely one hundred percent recommend these to anyone who travels, and we travel a lot I will definitely order again they are top quality too, and light so add no extra weight. My suitcase was so well organized! 100/100 for Simplify Living!!! Show details
I have recently made a couple of purchases from Simplify living. The cross body bag if great. I love that it goes across the front of my body, very secure and light. I loved the number of colour choices. I can't wait to pack with the compression packing bags. What a great idea, they fit so much in and keep everything organised and easy to find.… Read more
Save room in my suit case because they make everything so compact. So easy to purchase online and so many great travel items to help organise my packing. Great products and good colour range.
Simplify Living has many wonderful products to make travel easier. I have bought the seat cushion, neck pillow, wheel protectors and secure cross-body bag. They are all great but my favourites are the neck pillow (so comfortable that I slept for hours on a 15 hour flight in Economy!) and the cross-body bag which is stylish, comfortable and… Read more
convenient. I love the pocket on the back of the bag where I can stow money and passport, confident in the knowledge that they are right against my body.
I ordered the compression packing cubes and I'm very happy with them. I have checked other stores for these packing cubes and I was disappointed with the quality. Simplify Living compression packing cubes are way superior plus they have an array of colours to choose from. This is the second time I have ordered from Simplify Living and I'm very… Read more
pleased with their products, service and free delivery. I actually received my orders before the due dates.

A Huge Upgrade Over Plastic Compression I previously used plastic compression bags for travel, and they worked well enough for a while. Then I came across Simplify Living bags on Instagram. I noticed there were less expensive alternatives on Amazon that appeared similar, but when Simplify Living offered a good sale, I decided to give them a try. … Read more
I’m very glad I did. These bags are exceptionally well made, with finished edges, quality zippers, and double-stitched construction throughout. I tested them on a recent trip, and they are several steps above traditional plastic compression bags.
There’s really no comparison when it comes to ease of packing and keeping clothes organized. One of the biggest advantages is that you can leave your clothes in the bags after unpacking, simply remove what you need, and zip them back up. Everything stays neat and organized throughout your trip.
I highly recommend these bags. They are well worth the investment and have made traveling much easier and more organized.
Simplify Living delivered our crossbody anti theft bags so effortlessly. The bags are a perfect size for us for our travels, and are made from good quality materials. From looking at the products on the website, to making a decision and purchasing, the process was easy. We are very happy with Simplify Living and their products. Show details
Purchased vacuum bags and was a bit apprehensive at first but i am very impressed with the product. The vacuum pump is very small and compact but has excellant power to extract the air and compress my clothing. Definately frees up space in my suitcase which has allowed me to pack a few more extra items. Show details
Suitcase will be so easy to identify on the carousel now. The covers are a good fit, good quality, and my case rolls along so quietly now. Show details
The leather cross body bag is exactly what I needed for safely carrying documents and other essentials while traveling. It is well made, sturdy, and comfortable to wear. The purchase of the bag went smoothly, and it arrived in good condition on time. I like the phone charging feature, but will need an adaptor for it to work with my Iphone. Show details
The best customer service ,I have experienced . I bought a cross body travel bag and it arrived with a minor flaw. I emailed the company with a photo of the fault and was very surprised to get an almost instant reply and an offer of an immediate replacement . The replacement arrived in double quick time and I have been left with a really positive… Read more
impression of both the honesty and product quality of Simplify- Living ...and with a fairly simple fix of the flaw, I now have 2 very well made bags for the price of one.

Simplify Living West End – [Content Removed], stay away from this site. Phone number not connected, the Brisbane office address is a serviced office where they never attend, ABN was started in March with 2 shares $10 each. Prices of goods are double what you’d pay on other… Read more
sites and supposedly dispatched from [Content Removed] - only you’ll never receive them. They don’t respond to email but do if you write a bad review, which they’ll quickly take down.
Follow-up · I paid for the counterfeit bags using a credit card, so I raised a dispute over the payment and finally received a refund via the dispute process. I believe Simplify Living then sold my email address, as since then I have received hundreds of spam a week from American sites - never had spam prior to that. Avoid then!
Great crossbody bag, bought 2nd one for husband. Love you can buy for left and right handed people. Lightweight, moulds onto body, adjustable strap. Only potential issue may be needing to empty contents to find what you want if you like to carry a… Read more
lot. I highly rate it. I use daily now and carry sunglasses, reading glasses, face sunblock, lip chap, phone with cards, and keys. Any more items I would need bigger bag. Am also looking forward to using it overseas next year.
Follow-up · GOOD: Lightweight, flexible soft fabric and easy to keep in front on body. Front zip pocket handy Used Carabiner on main zip for peace of mind + another 1 on strap metal ring for fold up rain jackets or hats/caps. Easy to clean. Front top has pouch for small water bottle. BAD: NOT waterproof in rain. Light rain ok though. Needed to handstitch… Read more
Having read all the reviews I purchased one of your cross body bags and am not disappointed. It sits comfortably across me, has hidden pockets and I know will be perfect for an upcoming trip to Rome. Love all the colour ways too. Thank you Show details
Follow-up · Having used this lovely bag around Rome, I can confirm it was comfortable across my shoulder - I wore it all day and no issues. There was plenty of room in the pockets for a phone, purse, sunglasses, ID, etc. The larger of the 2 zipped compartments didn’t stay hidden unfortunately but I would definitely recommend it.

I bought the Simplify Living antitheft cross body bag. I was taking a trip to Europe and had been made paranoid by stories of pickpockets in Paris. I chose it in black and it looked neat, shoulder strap was comfortable and it was inconspicuous. Being able to choose left or right shoulder was brilliant. I am left-handed and I didn’t realise what a… Read more
difference it would make. The bag is neat and flat but big enough for a wallet, passport, water bottle, small umbrella, and all the other little “must haves”. I 100% recommend this bag.
Great products. Cross body bag was well described on website, fits well, easy to use zippers, like how you can wear it under a jacket. Contact with customer service was quickly responded to making it easier to make a decision to purchase. Quick delivery as well. Show details
So happy I went with Simplify Living for my RFID cross body bag. So far it’s worked out great. Customer service was responsive to my minor questions. Thank you! Show details
Negative reviews
Absolute worst bag I have ever bought. Straps won't stay set. They keep.adjusting. clip keeps popping open. Zips on straps keep opening. Its literally unusable. First thing I did when I arrived in vietnam was purchase a replacement bag. You can buy better quality on shein honestly. Have had the complete run a round over a refund. Am having to cut my losses and just bin it
Terrible - trying to return an item within the 30 day window and after 5 emails in 2 weeks no one has replied to tell me how to return the item. There is no phone number and it looks like my 30 day window is fast evaporating.
Terribe design & utterly disappointed! Ordered the anti theft crossbody bag! Despite adjusting the strap THE MAIN ZIPPED COMPARTMENT FACES THE GROUND, ie, downwards!. This makes the bag TOTALLY INSECURE. If the zipper is slightly open your possessions can fall out. Shocking design! And facing downwards, it enables a thief easier access as you may… Read more
not see a hand reaching from underneath. But my main criticism is that items can fall out. To make matters worse, Simplify Living REFUSED to accept a refund postage free. THEIR BAD DESIGN BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR RETURN POSTAGE! Not cheap these days either! Their excuse was that the bag didn't "suit my needs!" Such an insult..... As anyone purchasing a secure travel bag, I wanted one where my valuables CAN'T FALL OUT. Do not order this bag unless you are prepared to keep checking the zip isn't slightly open. IT'S A RIDICULOUS DESIGN!! Also Simplify Living emails constantly state how they " understand how frustrating I must have been" BUT DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU OR GIVE YOU A FREEPOST RETURN. DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

I purchased this bag from Simplify Living with the assurance from Simplify Living Customer Care in an email on 12.04.26 that it had RFID protection. After the bag arrived I was suspicious of the information so contacted the company who in turn replied that it had no RFID protection (I have email evidence of each of these statements).The bag in… Read more
question was priced at three times the cost of the exact same bag on Temu so I requested a return which was approved however I have to pay the postage to return the item for a refund. Whilst I acknowledge the condition that return postage is at the cost of the customer I am appalled that there is no consideration for the fact that misinformation was supplied by the company and all that is forthcoming is the usual flowery comment "Oh I'm so sorry this wasn't the experience we wanted for you". The company issued incorrect, conflicting information - I did not make the mistake. This whole experience has made me view Simplify Living with distrust and great dissatisfaction.
Placed an order with Simplify Living in Oct'26 for an Anti Theft Bag, which is perfect for me - slimline but plenty of room for me. Only downside is it does not have anywhere for cards or notes so had to buy a purse. This month (Nov'26) I purchased 4 other bags, 3 Anti Theft as gifts and a different bag. Very happy with the overall experience. Thank you Simplify Living. Show details
