I'm headed back to B.C. today to surprise my Nana for her 80th birthday! Yet another flight reminds my of my newest search... I'm looking
for a perfect carry on bag. As a frequent flyer, I've come up with a
list of things that this perfect bag would have. Including: ideally a
luggage strap so I can rest the bag on top of my rolling luggage. I
often travel with multiple bags, and don't have a free arm. If not a
luggage strap, then a cross body strap. Size: Big enough to pack my travel
essentials, a large scarf, cardigan, a book and a couple of magazines, and some
major snackage. It ideally would have pockets making things easy to
organize, (passport, electronics, etc) and would zip shut (so I don't lost anything when it's stored
under the seat). Where does this bag exist? I've found
a few good options here, but none of them are quite perfect.
Lug: Cartwheel.
The only bag that has the ever important luggage strap at the back, but it's a bit large and bulky, and I don't love the look enough to use it outside of the airport.
Con: No style points.
Plus: Lots of pockets.
Monocle: Porter Baby Boston Bag
It doesn't have a shoulder strap, or a luggage strap making it impracticable for me, however it's roomy, and I like it's manly look, and it's shoe case.
Con: Needs an extra hand, which I never have. Most pricey of the lot.
Pro: Separate space for shoes at the bottom would be perfect for storage of tupperware snacks, and a separate pouch at the bottom allow for less of a chance for food spillage on the rest of my items.
Hershel: Totem
This it a totally cute and bright item, but I'm not sure if it's wide enough for all my snacks (guys, SERIOUSLY, I pack a LOT of snacks!), and my sweater, and other essentials.
Con: Not big enough?
Pro: Might actually use this for other things than just carry on baggage. No one likes a one trick pony.
What do
you use? Suggestions are SO welcome!
Bags:
I just bought the COACH Bleeker weekender bag for some travel i did in Boston. I LOVED THE LOOK and it actually found it to fit a lot....lets see if fits two pairs of heels runners, and flats along with a tonne of clothing.
ReplyDeletedrawback it was heavy (already because it was leather) but sometimes i am willing to suffer for fashion;) and no long strap....
I can't say any of the three youve shown are may faves....but I do like the army green colour one.
