Do you travel with your H bag?

I wasn’t sure how it would go using a Kelly for my recent trip to Paris, but a K32 proved to be a great companion. It’s roomy enough to fit essentials plus an iPad mini and a few other extras, and I enjoyed the extra security of the closure (except when I wanted my phone…). It was a toss-up between this and a Bolide 31 (my usual choice for travel), and I’m pleased I took it!
And on a long flight that is the only way to travel
#flashback
Saut 25 is a perfect cross body for me: incognito, easy to access, light. I used it the whole 2 weeks to explore Bordeaux and the surrounding area back in May.
Mind you, it was a road trip so I didn’t have to carry much. Normally such tiny bag would not work for me.

I am going to Paris, Positano and Ischia for two 3 weeks. I typically use my Birkin 35s as a travel totes and will likely use one again, but not carry it in the cities. My SA said my recent acquisition, the Birkin 35 Faubourg Tropical would be perfect in Positano and Ischia but because it is just me and my 18 year old daughter, I don’t feel secure enough alone with that purse in a place that I only have marginal experience. My SA said not to wear my Birkins in Paris. He said one of his clients was robbed of their Birkin when they left Sevres. He advised me that when I am in Paris, I should wear my Lindy.

While I carried my Birkins and K28 all over Paris in the spring, my SA at Sevres advised me to be careful and discreet in Paris. Shocking to hear that someone was robbed of their B near the Sevres store
Glad to see this. I really use every one of my B35s, daily and when traveling. I sometimes wonder if the handles will all be stretched down to my ankles after I load those girls up with iPad Pro, Phone, cords, toiletry bags etc. I wanted to ask how you like your aluminum trunk? If it checks well and if you ever worry about it being dented beyond service.
Do you check your aluminum Rimowas? Can you tell me how you like them? I am considering a black Rimowa trunk. I don’t mind a well-traveled look but after once strewing my undies (from a broken bag) all over Dulles, I’m sensitive to getting halfway home with a serious dent. Am I fretting about nothing?
I priority check the large silver aluminum trunk and occasionally the smaller rollers (our travel class easily allows us to carry on the small rollers with our soft rimowa weekenders* if we so choose). Even unchecked and treated carefully, they accumulated dents from the very first trip.We’ve had to replace the latches on the small roller in Asia, a two minute, complimentary fix at the boutique. Not a big deal. If you buy one, I recommend purchasing stickers so as to distinguish yours from all the others on your flight. A baggage strap will safeguard the bag in case it breaks, but I haven’t found it necessary yet. We do use luggage cubes to maximize the space.
*I almost think the soft weekender is more sturdy lol. While the trunk isn’t the sturdiest, it’s not too heavy, and I think it’s sturdy enough (we use it on ski vacations and to Asia).
Thanks so much, that’s helpful info. I fly first or business and they always put “special” be-nice-to-this-suitcase tags on my checked bag but I have no idea if that makes the slightest difference. For all I know it’s just to tell the dudes in back that this is a great case to pilfer.
DH likes the trunk because open, the lid doesn’t take up as much space as a splayed valise-type suitcase.
I looked at the Weekender (I think it was the Weekender) as an additional purchase and it appeared that it would hold a loaded B35, not much else, but a few things maybe, and I could shove it under the seat.These are fun threads. It’s an ongoing mental gymnastic process to figure out and refine how to travel.
Yup, me too
Still got dents and a broken latch. But, perhaps it could have been much worse 
I don’t travel with a B 35, but the weekender can hold cosmetics, toiletries, electronic devices, and purchases to declare, including 25-28K and 31 bolide plus RTW if that helps. it will fit in an above compartment with a roller. These days with sleeper seats, nothing can go underneath
Thank you! Yes, I thought it was a cool bag. Super roomy. They actually had a lot of gorgeous accessory bags/backpacks that I was surprised to love, so I’m having to re-think. I hadn’t been in to a Rimowa boutique in years. My life seems to be divided between pre-and post Covid. And you’re right about the sleeper seats, I was thinking domestic. I haven’t been out of the country for, gosh, three years now? Ugh. You know, the time warp wouldn’t have been so bad if, when life seemed to stand still we had also not aged. Ha. No such luck.Yup, me too

It is the medium one. Not the largest and definitely not the mini. This is my most used bag.
Perhaps this may help regarding several Rimowa questions that have bene posted recently. It's a Rimowa thread, not Hermès bags and travel specifically but there may be information here to help.

Travel - RIMOWA, Anyone?
Search results show 334 posts on Rimowa, but only 2 threads! I feel like the brand deserves its own space on TPF somewhere (maybe contemporary?) because this travel forum is really about traveling "the hobby / practice," and not so much about travel brands. I would love to see Rimowa in...
