I spend a lot of time on the go, and share a lot of my packing process in my travel light series. Naturally I get a lot of questions about what my favorite travel bags are, and which ones I carry. Today I’m sharing my personal favorites when it comes to travel bags, the most useful travel bags for when I am on the go with my family or on my own.
SUITCASE Tumi Tegra-Lite® X Frame International Carry-On This is my go-to suitcase. Sizing fits well under most carry-on restrictions, and the hard sides keep you from expanding beyond those restrictions. I haven’t been asked to gate check it as of yet. It weighs in at only 8lbs, which is manageable for me to move quickly through airports and other places I travel.SHOP NOW |

PACKING CUBES Muji Paraglider Mesh Garment Bag These are my favorite packing cubes to use because they are extremely lightweight and foldable. I own them in one color per person in my family and find that size M fits perfectly in half of a carry-on suitcase.SHOP NOW |

TOILETRIES & LIQUIDS Truffle Clarity Clutch in Large and small I love these cases because they are clear and lay pretty flat in my bag if I’d like them to. I use the large for items like brushes, makeup, and other non-liquid items. While the small size is TSA approved for liquids.SHOP NOW |

CABLES & WIRES Baggu 3D Zip Set These nylon pouches from Baggu come in 3 different sizes and are perfect for storing my electronics extras (chargers, cables, spare batteries, etc.), my intimates, and any other small items I don’t want floating around my suitcase.SHOP NOW |

SMALL CROSSBODY Cuyana Leather Crossbody Pouch This small crossbody purse from Cuyana is the perfect size to take along when I only need to bring a few items. I don’t bring it on every trip with me, but it’s come in handy especially for recent conferences that I’ve been to. Otherwise I just use my travel wallet as my clutch since it’s simple and beautiful and works great as a standalone piece.SHOP NOW |

LEATHER TOTE Cuyana Classic Leather Zipper Tote I just have to tell you, this is my everyday purse. It goes everywhere with me. Usually only for special events do I carry a different bag and it’s completely because this one does everything for me. I never keep it more than half full for day-to-day but when in times when I really need to fill it up (like for travel, hello!), I can.SHOP NOW |

LAPTOP SLEEVE Microfiber “Leather” Laptop Sleeve I use a sleeve very similar to this, in style and quality. I haven’t found a 100% leather sleeve that is close enough to this style (this might be close, so if you find one, let me know!SHOP NOW |

TRAVEL WALLET Cuyana Leather Travel Wallet A recent holiday gift from my husband, this beautiful leather travel wallet has been on my wishlist for quite some time. It holds everything from cards and ID, to passports, to boarding passes, and it even has a pouch for coins. Plus, as I mentioned before, it doubles as an evening clutch!SHOP NOW |
