Looking for something cute but not expensive to hold wallet/snacks/reading materials, etc. My current old canvas tote is looking very worn.
TIA. |
Years ago I got a free bag from DSW for being a rewards member that has a compartment on the bottom that zips, for shoes. I use that.
Sometimes I use the company North Face backpack my law firm gave me for free. |
I recently got a Paravel tote (I think it was the medium size) and some of the matching pouches as a gift and I really like it. But I'm also a big Boat and Tote fan and one of those with a zip top would do the trick. |
So much on Amazon to choose from. My choices are pricey but I like the Caraa Diaper bag not because I need it but I love the zillion pockets and conversion to pack/bag. If you want a smaller sized bag I also have MZ Wallace and Dagne Dover. |
I love my bagalini small backpack |
I have a Lo & Sons laptop backpack for work trips, which I often use for personal trips because I like it so much and the backpack feature is key.
Sometimes I use an inexpensive travel tote bag I got on Amazon (one of the drop ship brands) that has a zippered pocket on the bottom for shoes, tons of space in the tote, and a sleeve on the outside to go over my rolling bag. It was $29 and is great. You can get it in various sizes and configurations. |
Lo and Sons Rowledge backpack

I have a Kipling rolling backpack. It is small, will fit under the seat and having the ability to roll it is priceless. |
I have a Beis and if I want black, my Marc Jacobs canvas tote. |
I use an L.L. Bean zippered tote that's lightweight and indestructible. It's not fashionable but also not bad looking. |
I always seem to go back to the Lo & Sons OG.
I also have the Lo & Sons Seville, and I prefer the look, but the OG holds more stuff. |
Longchamp Le Pliage - I have multiple sizes and switch it up depending on the trip. Love it so much |
Zippered backpack that has long strap for over shoulder option too. Every pocket is perfect for travel. |
Same. I have their crossbody for everyday and love it. |
I have a tote from Madewell that they don’t sell anymore; it’s big (but still fits under the seat in front of me) with lots of pockets. But the main reason I love it is that it has a trolley sleeve, something that I did not know was a thing until I got this bag. It makes getting through the airport so much easier when I’m traveling with a carry-on roller bag. So I’d look for that feature, which seems to be relatively common. |
