Do you travel with your H bag?

Bags are meant to be worn and not sit on a shelf. If we can't use them when they're intended too, when do we?
I travel with my Gris Etain B35 all the time. It accommodates my MB 13", H Bain Pouch for all my smaller items, small water bottle and a rolled up/hoodie or thin jacket for the flight. The protective bag I actually have does a better job than a LC or a Goyard. It covers the entire bag bottom to top handles without the handles being bent or sticking out. I also Love how it fits like a glove and I get to use the straps as a shoulder bag. Why would I ever want to outshine the beauty of my H with another label branded bag.
Now to answer the question, My B35 goes into this cotton canvas tote 22" x 18" x 7.5" right before I have to put it through the tray for TSA. I simply tie the handles as a knot and lay it flat on it's own in a tray. When done, canvas comes off, canvas gets rolled up and goes into the Birkin. Same process takes place when inside the plane.
I never saw the need to invest into a name brand tote to tote my B35 or understand people that carry 2/3 bags at a time with labels/monograms/logos from different designers. I find it tacky and screams keep looking at me. To each his own I guess

i’m assuming people nestle one bag in another as a carry on for practical reasons until they get to their destination, IDK

I just saw this post so cross posting. I just carried my Bolide 25 to France and Spain. It was very practical though a bit heavier with all my essentials. Thanks for letting me share. I just put it in its dust bag and carried it in my carry on luggage.
You're too kind with your words.
Re: knowledge; I just think I drank too much H Kool Aid. 
I will add that when going to beach holidays, I don't bring any H bags but definitely this pouch (Jardin d'Osier) to be used as a clutch:
Haha, I think we all drink from that fountain. It’s a slippery ride down into H-obsession. Love that idea for a travel pouch/clutch! My aunt had an idea of turning her vintage H scarves into a poncho since she no longer likes to wear them. She asked me if I’d see them for her since I make clothing for my son but I’m hesitant to take such precious itemsYou're too kind with your words.

Absolutely! This B35 has done multiple international and US trips and has not been babied at all. Here she is at Austin airport before my latest European adventure. These bags are meant to be used and, for the money spent, I intend on using her forever. For the record, she's 20+ years old and still looks great!
Love this. Where do you get your tote bag from? (I can probably google for something similar but thought I’d askBags are meant to be worn and not sit on a shelf. If we can't use them when they're intended too, when do we?

I do this, I carry my Goyard Artois as my travel tote and throw my purse of the day in it. It’s likely obnoxious I guess if someone notices, but the Artois nestles perfectly on top of my carryon luggage and holds my purse and laptop and any junk I grab while waiting to board lol
