Of course I do!
But I package them carefully!
And I don't worry about the hotel maids stealing or anything. The hotel rooms I stay at are usually ENORMOUS. Like the size of a penthouse. There is plenty of rooms for me to run around and find a good hiding spot, usually in the bedroom that is unused and still clean so they most likely won't even bother going in since it isn't a mess like the other rooms.
Also, when I leave my room I put the DO NOT DISTURB sign on the doors so they think I'm inside. Foolish I know, but it works!

Always travel with 2 Chanel bags (one larger, one for the evenings) and I travel quite a bit in the US for business and to Europe. Never had problems. I never pack any bags, jewelry or accessories in the suitcase, but in the carryon. In the hotel room I am always placing the bag in the suitcase but it had never crossed my mind to place it in the hotel safe. After reading all stories above I might need to become more careful.

By default I do not worry much when I travel with my Chanel bags and enjoy them whenever possible.

Yes. My reissues and WOC. I don't think people give a hoot what brands you're carrying if you travel to major shopping belts in bigger cities. They're likely carrying designer themselves.

I bring along my half moon woc... Perfect for travel as there is plenty of space for passport, money, cards etc and yet close to me.

I carry it cross body in the day and transform it into a clutch or shorter chain for evenings.

Good point! Same like me Martinibeach. Just enjoying it. And so agree with the one large & small for travelling.

I agree! Your bags are meant to be used. Of course, you always have to be extra careful while traveling, that's a given. But I think its a shame that you have to keep your favorite pieces home (When I leave them in the hotel room I always make sure they are locked in my suitcase). O and dear PF-ladies, don't forget to take your authenticity cards with you...just to make sure they won't accuse you of buying a fake when you are traveling abroad by plane! (A Chanel SA gave me this tip when I bought mine).

Great tip! Thanks! :)

I usually keep my bag in the luggage n lock it when I not in the hotel n will put up the "do not disturb" sign so the housekeeping will not go into the room!

No me neither, but I still bring it along with me...I guess it is always better to be safe than sorry . Still, good to hear you never had any problems!

Now that is a tip we can all use! And since the majority of the security at airports are men they are probably wise enough not to mess with a women's baby (or bag, we love them equally...!)
