Do you travel with your H bag?

Thank you for posting the details of this muji tote! I am in the UK and just went to their website here but they don't have this on their site! I will pop to their store to take a look.
Oh no that's too bad! Need to ask my sister-in-law to bring one from the states.
Yikes! No way am I putting my bags inside a bag that deteriorates when wet and might stain if someone spills on it....stains can travel through dustbags and somehow I feel this might be a hard stain to remove, at least on light-colored and/or unfinished leather bags.
Right now I travel with whichever H bag I choose for daily carry inside its dustbag, inside a nylon Longchamp (which isn't heavy) or if small enough inside a Garden Party. I need to have a laptop on the plane with me, so any carry-on bag needs to hold at least that in addition to a handbag. I don't check luggage, so it all needs to stay pretty compact.
I like this! Is that pocket big enough for a small laptop? My biggest issue in packing a Birkin or Kelly for carry-on is worrying that my laptop will dent the bag.
Having been on a plane where the underseat area flooded, I am really conscious that spills do happen and waterproof appeals to me
I would like to share the travel bag I have been using for past few trips with my B35/B30. It's from Kipling and the fabric is double layered and water resistant.

It has a slip pocket at the back that I find very useful with my carry-on luggage.
And the front pocket fit a Chanel WOC with room to spare for other travel essentials
And this is how it look like with B30 inside
And last, with B35 handle peeking out just a little..

I do travel with some of my H bags:
* Victoria II 43 as a carry-on when I fly - the compact design and floppy handles make it a great carry-on bag. And the sturdy clemence leather does not scratch easily when placing the bag in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of me).
* Bolide Relax 45 as a weekender bag (for road trips only - the shape, size, and fixed handles are not well suited for using the bag as a carry-on when it is full, plus the sakkam leather scratches easily)
* Evelyne III GM as a hands-free bag to tour a new city, museum, etc...
I must confess that I do not take as many precautions with my bags when I travel as some of you do.

I don't think it fits laptop. It should fit an iPad mini. I can measure when I get home today if you'd like.
The back of this tote also have a pocket so you can slide it into your luggage handle.
Thank you! Yes, I think I need a tote with that luggage handle sleeve. I was actually thinking about adding one to the Longchamp myself, but the Longchamp is not the perfect Birkin/Kelly carrier. I travel so much now that leaving these bags at home would be a giant waste!
DH thinks I should just use my Barenia B35 as a carry-on but I foresee TSA accidents, etc. , plus again I'd love to have a sleeve that goes over the handles of my Rimowa roller.
I don't check bags either so I have the same constraint - everything needs to fit into two bags. I haven't figured out the ideal system (the one that fits my comfort zone) for traveling with an H bag and a laptop. Right now I am using a laptop sleeve with a shoulder strap which I can put into a Neverfull when needed. This is light and functional but means my H bags stay at home.
