BEST BAGS FOR TRAVEL
Selecting a handbag for international or even domestic travel can be hard. One often struggles with finding an option that is small enough to not be burdensome, but large enough to fit all personals (ID’s, wallet, toiletries, a book, compression socks, eye mask, scarf for extra warmth). There are many methods of packing for a trip that requires you to travel via airplane - many people choose to pack all of their belongings (sans some of their personals required during flight) in a checked bag. Then, you have those who opt for a smaller bag to be stowed under their seat during flight but also carry-on a suitcase that contains the bulk of their personal belongings that will be fished out when needed.
No matter what kind of traveler you are, it’s important to be practical and safe with your handbag selection. We’ve rounded up our favorite handbag selections below for you to consider when traveling. Each option is sure to keep your belongings safe and secure, and is guaranteed to keep you stylish too.
