What bags do you like to travel with and any recs for a good medium-sized one?

I'm going to Korea for a few weeks this summer. I will be bringing my Neverfull GM for my personal/carry-on item, and I'm bringing my Gucci Soho Disco, but I want something in between those sizes. I thought abut my medium Gucci Marmont, but I'm probably also going to bring my Gucci Super Mini for nights out and between that and the Soho Disco, it just feels like a lot of Gucci. Also thought about my Speedy 30, but it's the classic version, and I want something I can wear on the shoulder. I do have a strap from my Speedy B 35 I can clip on to the handles/hardware, but I don't like doing that for fear of damaging the bag. It's also not my favorite way of wearing the bag..tried it a few times but didn't love it. Also thought about bringing the Speedy B 35, but it's bigger than I'd like for this.

Does anyone have a medium-sized, relatively light, bag (that is not a tote) they love to use when traveling? TIA!

My fav bags for day to day use while travelling are the Givenchy Pandora and Balenciaga small City! Though I know not everyone is a fan of their aesthetics..

I've been so intrigued but the Pandora! It's really not my style, aesthetically, but I find myself wanting it anyway. I really should check it out in-person!

So interesting that both you and elzi mention the Balenciaga small city! I'll have to check it out!

What about a backpack?

Well, I couldn't say enough nice things about my LC Le Pliage Cuir. It's Medium size but the Small is actually very roomy for its size too. The Cuir leather is really light and also durable so it's great for travel, plus the bags are foldable like the nylon LP's. The Cuir S and M both have a shoulder strap and short straps, you can also carry it crossbody.
