They make a lot of messenger type bags of different sizes. I have a small one that I sometimes use as my travel purse, and it’s very well made and lightweight. Zappos carries them. I thrifted mine. Thrift stores often have this type of thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packable-tote-recommendation#post-1889932 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 15:06:33 +0000 kellygirl 1889932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the Chico bag Nomad for overnighters. It packs into itself and it fits well over my shoulder. I also have a small duffle from them that works well. I have a Le Sportsac large weekender that I use as a carry on for travel but even with the shoulder strap, it gets heavy (when full) and is rather cumbersome. I'm looking into a small rolling case for down the road because I'm getting tired of schlepping that thing around.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packable-tote-recommendation#post-1889910 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 13:21:15 +0000 Inge 1889910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any recommendations myself, pil, but am bumping the thread for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packable-tote-recommendation#post-1889784 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 01:57:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1889784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the Bric bag, but I don't have experience with a tote like what you are showing or wanting. I know I'm always tempted by the cool bags in luggage stores, though. If you have a chance to go shop at one in person, you might find just what you are after. I even found a great travel toiletries bag once at AAA, so that might be worth a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/packable-tote-recommendation#post-1889764 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 01:17:18 +0000 pil 1889764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Surely this is the group to ask!<br /> I’m taking the train to Chicago next month for an overnight trip and would like to find a lightweight cross body tote. Last time I went I used an Eddie Bauer light weight backpack that packs into itself. Thing is, it’s a light blue floral print and I would like something a bit more grown up. I like the looks of the LE Pliage but would rather not spend that much. Inside pockets would be nice.<br /> I have found a few - not all packable or necessarily lightweight. Finds don’t work for me so I’ll include a couple of links.<br /> Do you have experience with any of these - or others you would recommend? I typically pack a change of clothes (sweater, pants and undergarments) maybe a pair of shoes, pajamas, toiletries and maybe a book or iPad.<br /> Thanks a bunch!</p> <p><a href="https://bricstore.com/shop/sale/x-large-sportina-shopper-2/?pa_color=navy" rel="nofollow">https://bricstore.com/shop/sal.....color=navy</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.sierratradingpost.com/baggallini-avenue-tote-bag-nylon-for-women~p~9185g/?filterString=s~nylon-tote%2F#reviewsSection" rel="nofollow">https://www.sierratradingpost......ewsSection</a></p> <p>Might be a little small, but the stripes are fun!<br /> <a href="https://www.henribendel.com/us/henri-bendel-packable-backpack-400001885789.html?pid=400001885789&#038;utm_source=google&#038;utm_medium=cpc&#038;utm_campaign=GS+-+Brand%2BProduct+-+Accessories+-+Travel&#038;utm_keyword=PRODUCT+GROUP&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6d3ky-Gh2QIVhLfACh0mEwJoEAQYAyABEgLWyfD_BwE&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">https://www.henribendel.com/us.....lsrc=aw.ds</a> </p>
