Let's take a look at some of my favorites...
MZ WALLACE METRO TOTE - LARGE (above)
You can find the full review of this bag here but it's quickly become one of my favorites. I've used it as a carry on twice now. It's HUGE and fits under the seat on aircraft. It would also work great for an overnight bag simply because it can carry so much.
What I usually pack in it: sun hat, pashmina, travel pillow, truffle case for essentials, truffle case for chargers, laptop, planner, wallet, sunglasses, a few snacks and a water bottle
MADEWELL TRANSPORT TOTE (above)
You can find the full review of this bag here but what I love about this bag most is that it's so beautiful. The leather is durable but gorgeous and I love that Madewell offers free monogramming in most of their stores. This one is quite roomy but not near as big as the MZ Wallace bag which is fine since you don't always need to travel with a bag that big.
What I usually pack in it: truffle case for essentials, truffle case for chargers, laptop, planner, wallet, sunglasses, a few snacks and a water bottle (I can usually lay my travel pillow OR pashmina over the top of the bag but it's tough to get both in)
LE PLIAGE BY LONGCHAMP - LARGE (above)
You can find the full review of this bag here - but what I love most about it is that it's iconically classic and good looking without compromising quality and durability. I've hauled this bag around A LOT and it's held up really well.
