So longchamp seems like a popular choice. Now that I think of it, I do see lots of them at airports. They just aren't very glamourous, but neither is the traveling part of vacation, right? Unless maybe you're on a cruise or the Orient express
Which handbag(s) do you take on vacation?

I seriously don't know how I ever traveled before owning my LV Delightful GM. I also bring a pochette for evenings out.
You are right. It is a Great bag. I usually take something similar, it's geox reversible (black patent one one, beige Suede on the other side) but I always find myself rumaging through its depths because it doesn't have any compartmens, only a small attachable purse with a zipper. It was only 100 so no big deal if it shows some use.
I like that you can wear it with black and brown and that it's secure, meaning it would be difficult for pickpockets to get their hands into. That's also something one has to be aware of, right?
It's actually navy because I tend to wear a lot of blue. But yes that's exactly why I like it. It's easy for me to get into but hard for anyone else to get into. I will look into Longchamp for more colors besides the one I normally use.

Dooney makes a really nice "shopper". It's a clear bag with leather handles. Makes a great beach bag because it keeps everything dry.
I've been traveling a lot recently and I wear my every day bags which are hobo style Gucci's. Gucci makes an indestructable leather. It goes thru the xray machine and all and, yes, I place it on the floor in front of me underneath the seat on the airplane. Since the bags are unassuming, the majority of people don't know it's a premier handbag so no worries!
Love this thread because I am preparing for my Europe trip next week! This is what I plan on bringing:
MZ Wallace Paige crossbody as a 2nd carry-on. This is a perfect size and I like how its small because it makes me not pack as much on my way to the destination.
MZ Wallace Lizzy as sightseeing. This is a newbie and I already love it. It goes crossbody and hobo style, while still be compact, water resistant, and really chic.
Tory Burch Amanda Logo Clutch for evening or nicer days out. This packs PERFECTLY in a suitcase. It is completely flat and I put her in a dust bag so no worries on it scratching or interacting with other items. It could even fit in my other carry-on if I wanted to.
Longchamp Le Pliage Large - I fold this baby up in my suitcase on my way there. I will likely shop and collect items while in Europe so I will use the Longchamp as my second carry on for my trip back so I can fit more. My MZ Wallace Paige (also nylon) can be packed compact in my suitcase.
I honestly don't like to wear high end designers when I travel, unless I am going to a place I am very familiar with. I dont want to be a target for mugging and nothing says "I have money" like an authentic LV or Chanel. Tory Burch is not well known abroad and is not very high end so I am comfortable carrying her.
Also as a previous poster mentioned, I want to be carefree when I travel and not worry about where I put my bag and how it interacts with the elements. MZ Wallace and Longchamp are perfect and I can bust out Tory when I want to be a little more dressy.

I've traveled with the Burberry Buckleigh tote quite often--it's less common than the Longchamp and definitely indestructible. I like it for a carry-on bag, but you can dress it up too (to an extent).
For awhile I traveled very happily with a Rebecca Minkoff mini Nikki hobo. It looks good, isn't too heavy, and I never worried about it all that much.
I also have a navy Fendi Forever crossbody bag I like quite a bit. I bought it for travel but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I like the navy/gold combo.

I always take my tiny fendilicious wallet on chain it seems. I also always carry my givenchy nightingale. Depending on my needs, I also carry a lightweight Burberry buckleigh tote which is great for when I'm shopping (holds lots and expands to swallow more) or my balenciaga weekender.
Wow never thought about it but I travel with at least 3 bags always. Oh, and envirosax bags too. Gosh, I'm such a bag lady
