Hello all! I’m wondering if there are comparable tote bags out there in style and size. I already have the cabas piano and luco but I would really love a larger bag for overnighters/ as a carry on. I am open to both vintage/ not in production and those still in production today. Let me know if you have any ideas/ pics!
 
Thank you for all your great answers! I have been checking all that you have suggested.

I am still searching for a cabas alto- I am now considering alternatives due to how hard it is to get my hands on a cabas alto in the condition that I would like.

Keep those answers coming! Thanks for your help!
 
I had the Cabas Alto, but recently sold it. While I loved the bag, it was large and when I filled it for traveling, it got really heavy. I also wanted something with a bit of security. I now use the Citadine GM and love it. But I really did love the Alto, too. Can’t go wrong with it!
 
If you really like the cabas alto, you can always order a zippered organizer for it. I ordered one for my preloved sac shopping tote. I had no issues when I traveled to NYC a few weeks ago. The sac shopping tote isn't as big as the alto but it is such an improvement from the neverfull gm that I sold. The strap drop is much more comfortable. Anyway...another bag for you to check out!

I have the Sac Flanerie 50 and love the zipper of the tote for travel. I do wonder if anyone with this bag size had any problems with using it on international flight bc of the large size. I’m new and if I’m not supposed to comment and ask questions here, my apologies.

Thanks for your response! I think the sac flanerie 50 is perfect for travel. I think what I am looking for is something versatile enough to be used for work and travel. In saying this, I am a big bag lady- and so I supposed the Cabas mezzo and alto would do just fine. I am still looking for a Cabas Mezzo/ Alto or a Vavin GM.
