“I love that I can technically stuff this bag for a quick weekend trip, but it has a slim enough profile to walk about the city with it if I need to. It has great pockets, and a perfect slot for a laptop.”
“This tote is a classic. I love its size and durability—mine has been through a lot. I usually fill it with shoes, handbags, and my laptop for a trip. The best part, though, is that you can monogram it. Mine says: PRADA.”

Boat and Tote bag
“Depending on the kind of trip (work or leisure) and how long I’ll be away, I rotate between a few staple bags as my personal item. The two I reach for most are my Totême T-Lock and my A.P.C. Drummer. The T-Lock is one of my everyday bags for just about any occasion, but I love traveling with it on trips where I’m not working and don’t need my computer. It’s compact yet roomy enough to hold all my essentials, which makes it ideal as a personal bag on flights.
For longer trips or anything work-related, I bring the Drummer. It fits my laptop and travel essentials with room to spare. I recently took it to a conference in Accra and then on to Dakar for a longer personal trip, where I still needed to get work done, and it handled both seamlessly. They also easily hold a book, a notebook, and my planner—all of which I never travel without. I’m not too precious with my bags, and both hold up beautifully, which matters when you’re tossing your bag into a TSA bin or tucking it under your seat.”
