Ladies... carry-on that doubles as hand bag... any suggestions

[Bree Stuart]

Oh right yeah I just use the across body strap as I always find shoulder straps annoying.

I thought I had better come back and do a "trip report" on my Baggalini bag

that I bought for our last trip to Asia. There were several photos of me wearing it in drrons trip report.
So it stood up well to 6 weeks of constant daily wear and tear. It usually took 2 water bottles every day, it held all my cr*p that I travel with and I did not lose anything. I wish it was a fraction bigger, say 2 inches longer and wider and it would be perfect ( or maybe I just take too much cr*p ) Although that trip was fairly easy and only 3 Asian countries and not much shopping. If it took my camera I could not zip up the bag.
I will take it on our next extravaganza trip leaving in 7 weeks - that will be a real test and workout for it.

I do have a new little bag that just arrived. I have wanted one of these for years and just thought that it was way too expensive for what it was when they first came out. Originally I saw it in the USA when our son was living there and they were over $30 US - which I thought was crazy for what it was. I paid $AU 5 on ebay last week. I think it will come in handy for when I am at home and using my normal handbags. When I transfer stuff from one handbag to another I usually forget something so I think this will be a good solution !

Bag Insert Organiser !
and it comes in 10 colours !

I love my dry red crumper roller bag - ticks a lot of the boxes, but definitely wouldn't class the as a ladies handbag :-(

The good woman uses this bag to bag thingo.

I'm currently using my LV Deauville. I have added a strap to the D-rings so that I can wear cross body. It fits neatly onto the top of my roll aboard and has multiple inside pockets and is wipe clean.

Yes !! My downfall at the moment is Ted Baker. I bought one of his handbags in a DJs sale last year and now I am addicted !!! :shock: Just awaiting a parcel from Nordstroms - I just couldn't wait till we get to the US in December !!!

I'm not currently having a bag moment. A good thing for the wallet.

I didnt get a chance to hit an outlet while in the US last month. Opposite the Opry was a big outlet but I cant shop with hubby. He doesnt do or say anything and happily sits/waits but the fact that hes there inhibits my shopping enjoyment.

When I park my husband on a chair, with instructions to wait, I tell him "Sit here and be a Miserable Man"

LOL. that's hilarious!

 

[mrs.dr.ron]

Before Ron had his knee replacement I would have to "park" him on a chair - I just had to remember which shop I had parked him at !!! :shock:


Some of those photos reminded me of those days .............

So glad I am not the only one. Yet, if I know he is in a book store, then I know I have several hours to myself. (Charlestown Square - PLEASE get a big bookstore tenant)

Oh yes. Or if desperate I suggest MrP heads to the gym. Takes care of him for a few hours.

Made my husband sit in the car last time I went to Spotlight. Eventually he phoned me and asked, "Are you ever coming out? I want to go hommmmeeeeeee".

I was in Melbourne over Easter and found the Crumpler store was very conveniently located for the DT Melbourne. I bought a Dry Red No. 2, a boarding bag and a Dry Red No. 13, a toiletries bag. I am very pleased with both of them so far and plan to give them both a good workout next month.

I didn't realise that there is a Crumpler store in Perth so a visit there will be on the itinerary before we leave.
