When traveling, which BV bag or bags (or accessories) would you take along? Whether a purse, tote, duffle, wallet, clutch, cosmetic pouch, etc. The one you rely on the most. Or your top 3 picks.
For myself when picking the bag or bags to take along on a trip, I would consider things like purpose of travel, safety in the destination(s), functionality and capacity of the bag, weather and climate, and comfort level when using the bag.
I don't care so much if the bag will coordinate with my outfits, since I usually dress for comfort when traveling on vacation. Whatever is easy to wash, wear, and pack and is comfortable for the destination. Also, I prefer to pack light, so I bring only one everyday purse with me. I am stuck with that one bag for the duration of the trip. I will bring other bags, for hauling my shopping finds, but that's mainly for the airplane. I don't travel much for business, but would like to hear what others choose.
Traveling domestically on vacation, I have taken my Cervo Hobo. I felt comfortable using it, even though it has an open top with a single magnetic closure. Also, much of the traveling was done via car. I probably would not take it abroad, though. When traveling, I am focusing on other things and do not want to have to worry about potential pickpockets or items falling out of my purse. One less distraction or peace of mind makes the vacation more enjoyable. Also, the Cervo Hobo would probably begin to feel very heavy after a full day of walking and sightseeing. With domestic travel, I didn't have to pack extra items in the bag, mostly what I carry on a day to day basis.
When traveling out of the country, I need a bag that can handle the weather, even when I don't know what it will be. It must be secure, so a zipper closure is a must. A slip pocket is okay, to use for information pamphlets and tissue packets. I have the standard basics like a wallet, tissue paper, sunglass case, lip balm, cellphone, etc. in the purse. I need to be able to keep my passport and foreign currency within easy reach, but separated and organized. I was able to use the BV Foldover Wallet to keep my passport and the foreign currencies separated. Except for the coins, which I used a small leather coin purse to put coins I wasn't using at the time. Also, I put things like a cellphone charger, small backup battery, and small purchases in the bag. Days stretch out more and I usually don't return to the hotel until it's time to turn in, so I keep the purse with me the entire day and it may get fuller. Basically, I need a reliable and comfortable bag which is secure, hands free, and won't weigh a ton by the end of the day, even if I load it up with a few goodies or small souvenirs. I don't think a BV bag will make the wearer stand out too much as a tourist, which is good. Maybe some will, but most are understated and logo less. And they are usually lightweight, which is an extra perk.
My picks.
Domestic vacation travel: Cervo Hobo
Any travel: Foldover Wallet (can hold a Passport)
