Do you travel with your H bag?

[missBV]

While it's not surprising, I'm really sad about the security/theft issues raised here. My home lifestyle is so boring so I look forward to saving "special" things for vacation.

However I've yet to travel with my B30 - not primarily because of security issues at my destination, but because I don't want to damage it during transit. I am notorious for rubbing/scuffing handbag handles on my carryon suitcase's vertical bars/handle when I put it on top of the suitcase, and Birkin handles are too expensive to replace

I've travelled a bit recently with my Della Cavalleria as it's smaller/easier to carry and store away. However, even with the best precautions, fluke events just happen; I was recently on the Paris metro and as the doors were about to close a teenage boy literally divebombed into the carriage, ricocheting everyone sideways, including someone's heavy rucksack straight into my DC hardware... when does that happen?! Unfortunately DC's new deep scratches will always be a memory of that trip!

So sorry to hear about this. One of my friends put her bag (Birkin or Kelly) inside a recyclable bag when she boards public transport. You can
consider that.

I do this every time I carry my Birkin on public transport, especially due to the risks of an overcrowded carriage.

Awwwh, I’m sorry this happened! But, better to be running around Paris than stuck in a closet!
Your bag is living it’s best life

In my bigger bags I always carry a reusable tote for extra purchases/protection etc but the DC is just big enough for my essentials as it is

Yes, and on the bright side I don't feel so precious about babying it anymore - what's the worst that could happen, after the worst has already happened

My typical travel outfit especially in airplanes: sneakers, leggings, a shirt, a cardigan, and a birkin.

The only time I close the Birkin (like the second photo) is when I put it in the overhead cabin. It may be an unpopular opinion but it’s a great travel bag. It fits all I need and closes securely. I mean, it’s essentially made for travel that prevents your things to spill out of the bag as Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas intended.

Alternatively, I sometimes switch out the sneakers for flats and birkin for a lindy

I trust my B30 would love her photo with Mountain Fuji!

This is exactly how I travel, and I am in love with your Lindy. The size is perfect!

So Sorry to hear about this, your DC must be very painful. For travelling with B30, I would recommend to keep a large foldable shopping bag with longer strap which can be put on shoulder inside the Birkin for any unexpected condition. I always carry it on flight and it won’t be a good idea to keep in the luggage unless you bring the box together.

This Shupatto Eco bag is rather small when folded. You can take a look.

Kelly 25 inside Bolide 30 inside So Canvas. This will all be inside a larger tote. Works great and perfect three bags for early summer trip.

I love traveling with my Evelyne TPM, flip it around and it’s both discrete and a great on the go tote!

Trying out this combo for a quick city trip.

Tend to have fun with my B35 as a travel companion. Sometimes as a handbag and othertimes as a weekender in and of itself. Surprise myself with what I can get away with stuffing inside of it.

I too have used my B35 as an overnight bag...a change of clothes and a few toiletries all fit in easily!
