8 of my Favorite Bags for Travel

Between work photshoots, Zach’s races, and personal trips, I travel a decent amount throughout the year. After several years of consistent travel, I’ve been able to curate a solid collection of bags that make getting from one place to the next much more efficient. Having a dedicated bag for smaller items like skincare and toiletries that are also TSA approved has been game changer. I also just recently got a set of packing cubes and am geeking out a little bit on how much more organized my suitcase is about to get. I can’t wait to try them out this week as we head to Seattle.

I’m obsessed with my Cuyana tote. I bring it with me to work (it’s the perfect size for my 15 inch Macbook Pro) and it’s great carry-on for flights. It fits my zipper wallet (I’ve had it for 2+ years and it’s held up beautifully), plus a Truffle clutch full of in-flight skincare essentials and it all fits with space to spare. My next purchase is going to be this magical insert because I can always use more help organizing the random objects at the bottom of my bag.
