My 5-days trip to Thailand with my trusty Bolide 35. I've travelled with her for many times which proved to be incredibly convenient and practical. Love bolide.
Do you travel with your H bag?

I travelled to Sydney for 2 weeks and used my mini Lindy. Super good. Worth every penny. I got caught in the rain at Taronga Zoo and bag was drenched. But after it dried up, not a spock or stain. Totally impressed with Hermes quality.
Just came back from a week in CDMX. My evelyne went with me everywhere I went. Got caught in the rain a couple times but she did well.
Yes! I take my mini evelyne and herbag everywhere.
I just bought extra long strap for my herbag to make her crossbody so will probably use her for an upcoming europe trip.
I used to travel w b35 or b40 as my plane bag (on top of my carry on). However, last couple of years, the bags anre always recognized and to be honest they don’t sit too easily on my carry on (have to hold handles). I have now opted for a travel tote that has the option to slide into my carry on. Saddens me as the birkin is the perfect tote to travel (work, etc).
I do carry Constance for evenings on vacation, but for days I prefer brunello - amazing leather and surprisingly lightweight (more so than my jseperrie)

Absolutely yes. I have used my Halzan 31 a lot for travel. It’s versatile, understated, and holds a lot.
Returning from a lovely Paris holiday. Traveled with Lindy 30 Etoupe as well as an unexpected
purchase in Paris a Sunrise Bolide.
The Lindy turned out to be the best bag that I have traveled with in a long time. I usually travel with my
Kelly but chose to carry the Lindy instead as well as the Bolide. The Lindy was under the radar, versatile
worked during the day wherever I went & felt very secure.
So those who might be in the fence about the Lindy, it is a workhorse travel bag.
The Bolide was also perfect for the evening.

I have to travel with at least one of them, as I’ve let go of any other brands I used to have (with the exception of one clutch). I find that my little TPMs are great, as they force me to edit the amount of stuff I carry. I‘m also using a Evie 29 that I consider to be a “beater bag” as it’s Barenia and can withstand being thrown around. In the past, I carried a Sellier Evie 29, but found it stiff for stuffing with misc stuff. My Birkin sometimes comes along, but only if I’m going to be needing a larger bag and, even then it plays second fiddle to my little TPM’s. Maybe it’s my “relaxed” style, but my bags rarely seem to be noticed…or, at least, I rarely notice them being noticed. Also, at this point in my life, I don’t venture very far away…
I carry B35s (and 30s) inside a tote bag that slides right onto the roller strap. Best of both worlds! And the tote bag has a laptop compartment that sits under the bag, so the laptop doesn't go inside the Birkin, and doesn't lean against it

That sounds ideal! Would you share what brand/model of tote bag you’re using?I carry B35s (and 30s) inside a tote bag that slides right onto the roller strap. Best of both worlds!

I think the B30 and B35 are great for travel, you can fit so much in there. The larger Kellys look like they could hold quite a bit as well. I always bring one or two cheapo folding nylon shopping bags that go in my purse, so if it is rainy or sketchy, I put my bag inside. I try and disguise my nice stuff in a hotel room. Jewelry goes in a gnarly sock stuffed in a sneaker, nice bags go in one of the aforementioned totes into the closet with artfully arranged detritus hiding it further. Under no circumstances do I ever put anything in a safe. I wear decent jewelry on vacation, but not super flashy.

I use a bag by Lo & Sons called the Catalina. It has a bottom compartment that's meant to hold shoes or gym clothes, but I use it either for my laptop or my toiletries bag (if you put a laptop there, obviously no slamming the bag down!). It has a trolley sleeve on the back and comes in two sizes. I think I have the smaller with me right now and in it is a Bolide 30 with a Kelly 25 inside. I can't zip the top fully but it's fine. The larger size will hold a B35. I loooooooooove this bag and have it in two sizes and a couple colors!
Beis also makes one similar with more structure.
I honestly buy the sturdy, cheap bags that fold into a little square when not in use. I see them all over Europe, and typically grab some whenever I see them as they are handy to have around. Kind of like this: https://www.temu.com/folding-printe...o-friendly-grocery-bag-g-601099512977300.html
I do think the largest Goyard St Louis works if you just want to protect your bags while you travel.
