Cut-Proof Anti-Theft Bag Construction

A carrying bag comprising:

• an exterior bag having at least one opening for access to an interior of the exterior bag;
• a security panel assembly extending within the interior of the exterior bag, the security panel assembly comprising:
• a first flexible material layer, the first flexible material layer having a first side and a second side, the first flexible material layer having a plurality of edges;
• and
• a wire matrix adhered entirely on the first side of the first flexible material layer, the wire matrix comprising at least one wire having at least two ends arranged as a plurality of wire crossings and a plurality of bent or curved portions on the first side of the first flexible material layer, and the at least one wire further having multiple bent or curved portions of the plurality of bent or curved portions arranged adjacent and spaced apart from each edge of the plurality of edges of the first flexible material layer, with the plurality of bent or curved portions which are adjacent to and spaced apart from a selected edge, of the plurality of edges, arranged closer to the selected edge than the at least two ends of the at least one wire;
• and
• a second flexible material layer stitched or adhered over the wire matrix and to the first side of the first flexible material layer and securing the wire matrix between the first and second flexible material layers;
• and
• a carrying strap coupleable to the exterior bag, the carrying strap comprising:
• a first flexible strap material having first and second lateral regions along its length, and having a central region along its length in between the first and second lateral regions;
• at least one metal or polymer cable longitudinally arranged on the central region of the first flexible strap material;
• and
• a second flexible strap material coupled over the at least one metal or polymer cable and to the central region of the first flexible strap material to secure the at least one metal or polymer cable between the second flexible strap material and the central region of the first flexible strap material.
