How big is your bag? I personally prefer Longchamp Le Pliage. But some other lovely tpfers use Envirosax. You can always just use the dustbag that your bag came with.
Do you travel with your H bag?

I have a Birkin 35. My carry on is a Kipling Darcy it fit but the edge sticks out. I wanted another rolling carryon that would comfortably fit the bag.
We definitely all have our standards...I don't worry about my H bags being stolen from a hotel room as unless a thief is specifically tracking me, money, jewelry, and something obvious like Chanel seems way more likely to be stolen (I hide the small flaps I sometimes take on trips). I do put my passport in a safe as losing that will not wait for insurance to kick in!
I do have a friend who keeps a "nanny cam" in her hotel rooms (in a cosmetics case) and I kind of like this
Ohmygosh you guys - am I a completely silly goose for just leaving my H bags lying around on the hotel sofa when I'm not using them? I usually travel with my Evelyne, Kelly, and a Dior clutch so if I'm using the Evelyne that day, the kelly and clutch just hang out on the sofa or desk in the room. I usually only lock up my jewelry in the safe. I guess I think staying in a nice hotel is some sort of insurance against theft but maybe I'm being too naive? I think im going to go and buy a lock and do what Leah does - put the bags in a suitcase and lock it up during the day.
Thank You! I'm definitely going to check it out does it if super comfortably could I fit maybe two Birkins? Do the Birkin handles stick out?

I travel with my Hermes bags: Birkin, HAC, and Evelyne. And I don't take any special precautions - I don't put them in dust bags when going through airport security or when stowing them in the airplane. Hermes bags can handle being used; people should just relax.
I'm traveling with my k32 on wednesday and after reading this thread I almost thought I was a bit too casual with her. Granted, my flight is 7 hrs, so I will bring the dust bag so my k32 can rest comfortably on the floor, or seat next to me, but i haven't bought a bag to store the bag.
The bins and conveyor belts for the xray machine are very dirty. So are the airplane floors. I'm a bit of a germaphobe in general, so I like having my bags protected. I used to use an envirosax for both my K32 and B35. Now I use an enV bag which is similar. I prefer the enV bag because it has a bit more room for my B35.
At the hotel, when I leave behind one of my bags, I usually lock them up in my suitcase. I don't leave anything out.
This is a link to the enV bag. Looks like stock is limited. IIRC, they cost less than the envirosax:

Since I restrict myself to carry-on luggage, I usually only take one H bag with me. It goes into my tote 99% of the time and stays there until I get to my destination. I don't see the need to carry a handbag through the airport and onto the plane. On the rare occasion when I recently made a brief trip without the tote, I put my Kelly into an Envirosac. It was perfect! It went into the airport bin and I left it in the sac until I reached my hotel. I don't like the idea of putting any bag into the airport bin as I wonder about what is lurking in the x-ray machine. Maybe the scratch and scuff bunnies live in there? I also don't want to put it on the airplane floor unprotected. These sacs are so easy to use and fold so well, I usually keep one in my bag all the time anyway and hey are also washable which is nice.
I'm with you GraceKelly....one H bag and a Longchamp has taken me many, many places without issue.
If I'm heading to a city vacation then I'll take a kelly with both the strap it comes with and a canvas strap...this bag sees me through most daily events...from shopping, sightseeing to dinning out.
If I'm headed to a more rural spot then it'll be my Massai Cut because it's just so comfy for a daily "sling it on and go" bag

It's amazing how my 35 Bleu de Malte Birkin in Clemence has become the perfect travel bag. I can stuff anything in there: laptop, books, vanity, shawls, chargers... It's like the Mary Poppins carpet bag. I place it on top of my cabin case, with the handles threaded through for safety and I'm ready to go. Perfection. Please note that I find worn, yet well cared for Birkins are the most beautiful of all. These bags are made to be used and there's something stunning about burnished, patina-ed leather...
I always put my "good" bags into one of my Longchamp carry-on bags when traveling. I don't like the thought of them sitting on the airplane floor and somebody accidentally spilling food or drink and my lovely bags get spoiled. Additionally I keep my H- or LV bag in their sleeper bags, so that they won't get scratched from other things in my carry-on.

I completely agree with you, TrueLoVe! I am a fanatic about keeping things clean- not a fun thought of your bag getting dirty from the airport floor, rubber conveyor belt, and the like.
