Organization while traveling is key, so we recommend having one designated spot for storing travel essentials like a passport, money, and technology. While you can store these items in a bigger bag en route to your destination, a more portable bag like a purse, mini backpack, or sling bag may be a better option.

We consulted our Travel + Leisure staff as well as other industry experts across our team to get recommendations for travel purses that are tried and true by frequent fliers. We received  submissions from over 30 seasoned travelers for bags they've used anywhere from six months to over four years all around the globe. We selected 11 purses that received the highest praise and broke down why we think you’ll love them, too.

Best Overall

Lo & sons o.g. 2.

Lo & Sons

  • Capacity 5 /5
  • Portability 5 /5
  • Ease of Use 5 /5

The large purse has a pocket for every travel essential you could ever need to pack.

It can get heavy when it’s packed full.

Lo & Sons makes some of our favorite travel bags, so it’s no surprise that this one came highly recommended for its spacious capacity and superior organizational features. The large shoulder bag comes with a padded laptop pocket that can store and protect devices up to 13 inches long, or you can place a laptop up to 16 inches in the main compartment, but it won’t be in the padded section.

For any other travel essentials, this bag has you covered with plenty of small pockets in the main section of the bag for phone chargers and snacks, and there’s a water bottle pocket to stay hydrated on the go. The front zippered pocket has smaller pockets inside to store grab-and-go items like a phone, wallet, and passport. Best of all, the bag has a discrete side pocket for a pair of shoes when you're using it as an overnight bag. And, of course, the more you pack the nylon bag, the heavier it will get, but it does have a trolley sleeve for securing it to a suitcase if it feels cumbersome to carry.

The Details: 16.5 x 13.75 x 6.75 inches | Nylon, Nappa leather | Water resistant | 13-inch laptop pocket

Best Overall, Runner-up

Cheruty backpack purse.

The stylish backpack has a modular design so you can carry it three ways.

The anti-theft design makes it less convenient to grab items.

Versatility is key with a travel purse, so we love that this backpack purse can be carried in multiple ways. While the purse is designed for use as a backpack with the built-in backpack straps, it also has a top handle and removable crossbody strap to convert the style as desired. Our favorite part of the backpack is the anti-theft design featuring a main compartment that is only accessible from the back zipper. There is a front zippered pocket to store small items like lip balm or a phone charger and the interior has four zippered and slip pockets for staying organized. The anti-theft design makes it a little less convenient to grab items quickly, but it offers peace of mind in crowded spaces since it’s much more difficult for pickpocketing to occur. This bag also earned praise for being effortlessly stylish thanks to the sleek faux leather look over two dozen color options.

The Details: 12.6 x 5.9 x 12.6 inches | PU leather | Convertible | 9.7-inch laptop pocket

Travel + Leisure / Tamara Staples

Quince Revive Nylon Large Tote

The nylon material is super lightweight and easy to wipe-clean on the go.

It doesn’t have a top zipper.

Looking for a purse that’s easy to pack? Quince’s nylon tote bag is impressively lightweight whether you’re toting it around while sightseeing or packing it away in a bigger suitcase. While we love a leather bag, nylon material can be a safer option for travel since it’s easy to spot-clean with some soap and water on the go, and is typically lighter so it won’t weigh down your shoulder when packed full of the essentials. This tote’s interior has designated pockets for a laptop and water bottle, and various slip and zippered pockets to organize smaller items. For security reasons, it would be nice if the bag had a zip-top instead of a magnetic closure, but the slim design of the bag makes it easy to keep it close to you while traveling. The tote also has two exterior slip pockets and it comes in Oxford blue, olive, and black color options.

The Details: 17 x 13 x 7 inches | Recycled nylon | Water resistant | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Shoulder Bag

Uniqlo round mini shoulder bag.

  • Capacity 2 /5

The nylon bag is easy to compress and pack down for excellent portability.

It’s not big enough to store tablets or laptops.

Crescent bags are a bit more stylish than a traditional fanny pack, but the style offers similar security to a sling bag that rests on the upper body. The simplicity of this Uniqlo shoulder bag makes it an excellent choice for travelers in search of a packable bag to store the essentials. It’s big enough to carry a phone, wallet, passport, or other smaller items, but it isn’t large enough to hold laptops or tablets. If you need to consolidate your personal belongings before getting on an airplane, this nylon bag compresses down and can be folded up to seamlessly fit in a backpack or carry-on. The water-resistant bag is also machine washable and comes in seven earthy colors. And, the purse is the most affordable option on this list if you can’t choose just one color.

The Details: 11 x 7 x 3.9 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Fanny Pack

Dagne dover ace fanny pack.

Dagne Dover

  • Quality 5 /5
  • Capacity 4 /5

The spacious fanny pack is made with durable and waterproof neoprene fabric.

Dirt and dust are easily attracted to the fabric.

If you’re traveling somewhere damp or rainy, you’ll want a purse made of waterproof materials to protect your belongings. This Dagne Dover fanny pack is made with the brand’s signature neoprene material that wards off inclement weather and rough handling thanks to the thick cushion of the fabric. While we love the protective material, it is prone to catching dust and dirt, but it can be easily spot-cleaned so it isn’t a deal-breaker by any means. The interior is big enough to fit phones, wallets, eReaders, and sunglasses with plenty of room to spare, but it isn’t so large that it feels bulky to wear. The nylon strap can be adjusted to wear the fanny pack comfortably around the waist and shoulder or as a crossbody sling bag, which is ideal for versatility while traveling or running errands. There are several slip pockets and a zippered one in the front to store and organize small items and the fanny pack comes in six color options.

The Details: 9.25 x 5.5 x 2.75 inches | Neoprene | Water resistant

Best Crossbody

Baggallini everywhere bagg.

The lightweight materials and adjustable crossbody strap offer all-day comfort.

The interior could benefit from a divider to separate the spacious compartment.

The Baggallini Everywhere Bag is travel expert-endorsed largely due to the fact that it offers superior comfort compared to other crossbody bags on the market. The entire bag and strap are made of a lightweight nylon fabric that won’t rub or dig when it’s being worn across the body or as a shoulder bag. Large enough to fit an iPad or tablet, the purse has an impressive capacity for storing everything from the bare necessities like a wallet and keys to tech gadgets for air travel. The medium-size purse is chock full of pockets on the inside and outside, and there’s even a discrete side pocket for easy access to phones or wallets. The main compartment has a pocket for tablets and a few small slip pockets, but we wish there was a divider or more pockets to prevent items from getting lost in the bottom of the bag. We also love that there is a trolley sleeve in the back and the bag comes with an RFID-blocking removable wristlet as a thoughtful touch.

The Details: 11 x 9 x 5 inches | Nylon | Water resistant

Best Clutch

Radley london sundown avenue weave medium flapover clutch.

Radley London

  • Capacity 3 /5
  • Comfort 5 /5

The compact purse can be worn as a crossbody bag or carried as a clutch.

The chain strap is not adjustable.

For travel looks that require a chic purse to complete the outfit, we recommend this convertible clutch from Radley London. It’s made with high-quality genuine leather with a woven design and elegant gold hardware that gives the purse a truly elevated design. And for the best part: it comes with a removable chain to style the purse as a crossbody or carry it as a clutch for upscale events like weddings or fancy dinners. The chain strap is effortlessly chic, but we wish it was adjustable or slightly longer since the shorter chain is a bit awkward to use with the bag. The size is small enough to fit in a backpack or suitcase, and the magnetic-closing bag can fit various small items like lipstick, credit cards, and a phone.

The Details: 11 x 6 x 4 inches | Leather | Detachable chain strap

Best Packable

Longchamp le pliage original backpack.

The backpack can fold up to a fraction of its original size.

It doesn’t offer any pockets for organization.

If you don’t want your travel purse to count as a personal item or carry-on for flying, Longchamp’s packable mini backpack is a game-changer for saving space. While the bag is already smaller in size, it can fold up with the help of built-in snap-closures to compress the backpack into a small rectangle that packs flat. The bag can then be placed into a large piece of luggage for travel and unfolded to create the perfect purse for a day of sightseeing. It can hold bulkier items like a tablet, camera, water bottle, and wallet without feeling heavy or weighed down. One thing to note is that the bag doesn’t offer organizational features like pockets, so you may want to use a small pouch to organize smaller items. The recycled polyamide canvas backpack looks elegant and it comes in seven color options, but if backpacks aren’t your preferred way of carrying items, the brand also carries a similar packable Le Pliage Original Tote Bag that came highly recommended by T+L travel experts, too.

The Details: 11 x 10.2 x 3.9 inches | Recycled polyamide canvas

Best Machine Washable

Baggu nylon crescent bag.

  • Value 4.8 /5

You can toss this nylon bag in a washing machine after a trip for hassle-free upkeep.

Consider air-drying the bag to prevent pilling or shrinkage.

Traveling can speed up the typical wear and tear on a purse, especially for frequent fliers, so this machine-washable bag from Baggu makes it easy to breathe new life into it after trips. Baggu bags are notorious for being easy to pack and this larger crescent purse is no exception thanks to the flexible nylon material that can easily be compressed and folded. The medium size is surprisingly spacious with a large main section for water bottles, snacks, wallets, and a travel tablet , and two slip pockets for lip balm and keys. Plus, the nylon strap is adjustable for the most comfortable fit whether the bag is packed to the brim or with just a few items. Since all travelers have different styles, we love that the bag comes in various solid colors and bold prints to please everyone. While the bag is machine washable, we recommend hanging it up to air dry to prevent any shrinking or damage from a dryer.

The Details: 13.75 x 8 x 4 inches | Recycled heavyweight nylon

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag

The material has plenty of stretch so it can hold bigger items like beach towels and jackets.

You’ll want to store keys and lip balm in a separate pouch since smaller items can fall through the mesh.

Whether vacationing somewhere tropical or swinging by the farmer’s market, this Longchamp mesh bag is a must-pack. Compact and easy to store in a bigger purse, the bag turns into a Mary Poppins bag once you begin packing it. From jean jackets to beach towels, the cotton mesh material has the slightest bit of stretch to hold bulkier items without anything falling through the perforated design. It can also store fruit, veggies, and flowers if you come across an unexpected farmer’s market while traveling. For smaller items, we recommend using a smaller pouch to keep keys, lip balm, and other skinny items safeguarded from the netting. Depending on your personal style, the bag comes in six color options featuring neutrals like white and brown or bolder colors like pink and green.

The Details: 15 x 12.2 inches | Cotton, gold hardware

Best for Laptops

John fluevog shoes nashua laptop bag.

John Fluevog Shoes

  • Value 4.5 /5

This compact laptop bag comes with tote handles and a crossbody strap that offers both a comfortable and convertible design.

Larger laptops might be a tighter fit.

This recommended John Fluvog leather laptop purse offers protection for your technology while traveling. It’s basically a laptop case with straps to carry it as a crossbody or tote bag, so we love that it’s specifically designed for computers. The removable crossbody strap is made with the same soft leather material and it boasts two little pockets to store small items like lip balm or earbuds that are easy to access from the strap. The interior has a designated slip pocket that can store laptops up to 15 inches long, but anything bigger might be a tight squeeze or not fit at all. Aside from a laptop, travelers can store small water bottles, snacks, notebooks, headphones, or any other essentials in the spacious main compartment. There is a front zippered pocket to conveniently access boarding passes or a phone while traveling. With several color and texture options, shoppers have the choice between black and blue color options made with soft pebbled leather and a brown color made with sleek smooth leather.

The Details: 15 x 11.25 x 2.25 inches | Pebbled leather

Other Travel Purses We Liked

Several travel purses still came highly recommended, but didn’t have as much praise compared to our winner’s list.

Madewell The Transport Saddlebag : The crossbody bag has lots of space to hold travel essentials, but the leather strap isn’t the most comfortable for long periods of time.

Senreve Midi Maestra Bag : We love that the modular design makes it easy to carry the bag in three different ways, but the medium size is a bit awkward for travel since it’s too small to hold a laptop and too bulky to pack in a suitcase.

With recommendations from T+L editors and other trusted travel experts on our team, we compiled this of tried-and-true travel purses. While we accepted all submissions, we narrowed the list down to 11 options that stood out for quality, capacity, and portability. Each bag recommended has been used for at least six months (some have been tested for over four years) and has traveled all around the world with us on various trip types.

Tips for Buying a Travel Purse

Know your storage and organization needs.

Whether you’re a minimalist or maximalist packer, there’s a travel purse out there to fit your needs. For travelers in need of extra space for larger wallets or laptops, we recommend a tote bag or medium-size backpack that often have designated pockets for items of different sizes. Crossbody, sling, and shoulder bags are best for storing just the essentials like phones, credit cards, earbuds, or a small wallet. For an even more streamlined option, a phone purse could be a good choice.

Prioritize comfort

Comfort while traveling is essential, so if you know you’re an over-packer, opt for a backpack or purse with thick, padded straps to help distribute the weight and provide cushioning. In general, you want to look for bags that don't have thin straps (often crossbody bags) since this can often cause discomfort or rubbing.

Think about anti-theft protection

Pickpocketing is a very real threat when traveling and the best way to avoid it is by making sure all of your valuables aren’t easily accessible. Anti-theft protection in travel purses can vary, but the common traits include discrete pockets in the back or interior of the purse, lockable zippers, and cut-resistant fabric.

A personal item is anything (allowed on an airplane, of course) that can fit underneath the seat. That means that purses, backpacks, totes, shopping bags, or laptop cases can count as your allotted personal item. If the airline is strict about personal items, you can always stick your purse inside of a backpack or carry-on to consolidate the number of items.

It depends on the material the purse is made out of and the type of fabric lining. In general, purses should come with manufacturing cleaning instructions, but if not, you can always opt for some soap and water to gently spot clean until you can get the bag professionally cleaned or into a washing machine if allowed.

What Are The BEST Leather Travel Bags For Women? (2024)

When it comes time for bag buying, there should be no half measures. Synthetic materials may get the job done, but there’s nothing quite like leather. It fits in just as well on top of a mountain as it does on the 60th-floor corner office, and its durability is unmatched.

Your next leather bag should last you decades, so you need to be very careful when choosing which bag is up to the challenge. Many bags promise to carry your loads, but only a few can truly take a load off.

Leather may not be the cheapest material out there, but the difference between high quality and low-quality goods makes a world of difference. Only the best leather bags get everything right.

Your leather bag should take care of the details, with reinforcements and extra stitchings in all right places. It’ll have to provide the right amount of organization options, whether that’s through more exterior pockets or separate compartments for everything.

And of course, it has to shine no matter what it’s being paired with.

That’s a lot to ask for out of one pack. To make the perfect tote easier to find, we’ve put together a list of leather bags up to the challenge.

Don’t bag a pretender. We did the extra research and went the extra mile to put together this leather bag guidebook. Whether you need something for daily use, travel, or commuting, you’ll find the best leather bag for your lifestyle below.

Why should women travel with a leather bag, cons of using a leather bag, final thoughts on leather bags for women.

TBBteam-gear-mahi-leather

Business Women, travelers, and average Johanna’s across the country are dialing up the tanneries. Some come searching for a classy look, others for durable multi-purpose totes.

No matter what brought you here, bear with us and grab a notepad while we check out some bags that excel at a particular niche and provide utility across the board.

#1 – Best Women’s Leather Daypack – The Office Backpack

leather travel purse women's

Whilst not a dedicated backpack brand as such, the leather goods company Harber London really does make some great ones. This is their office backpack which is made from part rich, full grain leather and part water proof synthetics. It’s a cracking back to take to work, on days out and also makes an excellent airport bag.

The Office Backpack resembles a typical nylon adventure backpack in many ways, except with a top-grain cowhide finish. Two water bottle pockets and three exterior pockets will let you take this bag to work, on a hike, or into the subway. 

This bag offers comfortable swivelling shoulder straps and has detachable magnetic key chain included with it. What else? How about special pockets for cords, business Cads and candy bars, a padded laptop compartment that fits 16″ Laptops and a padded tablet compartment, fits 13″ Tablets. And all handmade by expert craftsmen in Spain. 

While I wish the bag was a bit bigger to accommodate longer trips, there’s plenty to love about this bonafide leather day backpack . 

#2 – Best Women’s Leather Weekend Bag – Women’s 45L Weekender Duffel

Womens 45L Weekender Duffel

Now, unlike the Katmai, this female travel bag will carry some serious weight. 

If you’re shopping for something to take on longer trips, you can fit everything you need for the weekend in style. Two different carrying handles and leather straps reinforced from top to bottom means you can fill the bag without feeling the burn. 

It fits into your carry-on compartment while still allowing you to store plenty of snacks and a jumper for your next long flight, and the top to bottom long length of this bag will help it from looking overstuffed. 

It may look classy, but it’s nothing short of formidable. 

#3 – Best Leather Unisex Bag – 25L Denali Canvas Duffel

Kodiak Denali Canvas 25L

While every bag is unisex if you believe in yourself, this Denali Canvas can walk down all aisles. Because it works for everyone, the bag throws in something for every style to work as a great all-around bag.

It can be a gym bag that looks good in the office (and business bags are hard to find), fit snugly on the back of a bicycle, or hang loosely over one shoulder during the ascent.

I love the side pockets on this duffel bag because they both come with a protective zipper pocket. The larger compartment in the middle is kept secure with magnetic brass buckles.

This bag may not be made entirely out of leather, but it comes from the mind of Kodiak, so they were sure to fill in details and handles with genuine leather to ensure this bag won’t break down no matter the task. 

#4 – Best Women’s Leather Camera Bag – Cordova Messenger

Cordova Messenger

You’re not supposed to shoot the messenger, but you will get a few shots, thanks to the perks packed into this messenger bag. It’s incredibly lightweight and trim for a bag made out of top-grain water buffalo leather, which helps you take it wherever nature calls. 

I’ve always found that my favorite pictures are the ones taken on the way to wherever I planned on shooting, so it’s always a good idea to have the camera close. 

Cordova made sure that will never be an issue by staying slim and still providing the storage space needed to carry along your equipment and a backup battery. 

This bag isn’t big enough to house an entire studio, but in a pinch, you’ll be happy you remember to sling this bag over your shoulder.

#5 – Best Women’s Leather Airport Bag – Leather Purse

Leather Purse

Leave your troubles with your checked bag and float through the airport with this leather purse. This purse works for daily use and traveling, thanks to its efficient features.

It’s slim and durable, bound to get you through security in seconds . You can safely stow your wallet or money in the large central pocket and keep your passport and boarding pass in the easy access exterior zipper.

Like all of Kodiak’s larger bags, the entire thing is nothing less than top-grain leather and brass hardware. There are four credit card holders and another interior zipper sealed pocket inside the main compartment to make sure nothing gets lost in the bottom. 

Travel days will always be a little hectic, but this handy leather bag has everything you need to get through the day quickly and nothing you don’t. 

#6 – Best Women’s Leather Vegan Bag – Kenneth Cole Reaction

Kenneth Cole Reaction

You can save a little money and save a few cows by opting for vegan leather . Kenneth Cole’s affordable leather bag won’t last as long as the real thing, but it will provide convenient features as long as it lasts. 

A crisp black exterior clicks with every look and won’t stand out in a crowd. Two carrying styles help you take a load off, but you can remove the shoulder strap on days you don’t have much to pack. 

The backside of the bag features easy loops that will help the bag easily attach to larger suitcases. 

This bag won’t save the world, but if you need something easy that can pack everything you need for an overnight trip, you can trust this reaction. 

#7 – Best Women’s Leather Carry on Bag – Handmade Leather Travel Duffel Bag

Handmade Leather Travel Duffel Bag

I haven’t seen many more affordable genuine leather travel bags, especially not with style like this one. And it’s Handmade !?

It almost sounds too good to be true, but the folks at Rustic Town Store have made an affordable leather bag that embodies the materials’ hardworking history. 

The sturdy bag is hand-made from buffalo hide, all the way through the carrying handles, which connect to the main bag with brass fittings. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, sticking with classic leather color and duffel storage ideals. 

One large interior compartment and two exterior zippered pockets store it all. 

Plenty of time went into guaranteeing this awesome travel bag will last for many trips to come. 

#8 – Best Women’s Leather Dressed Up Backpack – Mahi Roma Backpack

Mahi Roma Backpack

If you are looking for a travel backpack that also “dresses up” then check out the Roma Backpack by Mahi leather. It’s constructed from robust, firm full grain leather (making it pretty heavy) and equipped with plenty of storage options that make it both stylish and practical.

There is plenty of space for all your essentials, and it will even accommodate a 13″ MacBook Air. The Roma is the perfect companion for city breaks and daily errands.

It’s a high quality, good looking backpack that will last you for years.

#9 – Cheap Women’s Leather Look Bag – Montana West Large Leather Tote

Montana West Large Leather Tote

An homage to leather’s true gunslinging route, this affordable tote is dressed to kill. The bag is made of faux leather to give it such an affordable price point (as well as vegan bag cred), but it’s still up to the task. If you need a leather bag capable of packing heat, this bag is built to work with a concealed carry permit.

It’s designed for security from top to bottom, with two anti-theft zippers and a double reinforced central compartment. From America’s beginning, outlaws and cow folk have relied on leather to keep their guns close. This bag helps carry on that tradition.

While you can’t expect it to last forever, the time you have together will be nothing short of an adventure.

leather travel purse women's

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

You’ve got more options than ever. Synthetic materials keep getting stronger, cheaper, and more versatile, and yet leather is the best of the lot in many categories. 

Tough as Nails

Top-quality real leather materials are some of the most durable bag materials on the planet and are still surprisingly lightweight. My dad’s leather wallet has been around longer than I’ve been alive, and it still looks a bit better off than I do. 

An entire bag made out of leather can be bent, squished, stuffed, tossed, and scraped without damage. Each blow that scars your leather bag will morph into a natural part of the coat, making the bag subtly change with the years. 

Water-resistant

In addition to being malleable, a great leather bag will have some tremendous weather-resistant features. While they won’t stop a storm, a quality leather bag will have no trouble in a drizzle. The smooth surface helps moisture wick right off, making the bag fare well in the heat as well as wet conditions. 

The cherry on top is the authentic look leather brings. We’ve harped on it already in this piece; there is never a wrong time for a leather look. No matter where you are, where you’re heading next, and what you have to bring with you, the right leather bag will turn heads and fit in. 

Basically, you should travel with a leather bag because they are born to be wild. Your adventures are going to put you to the test, and the right leather bag will be ready for whatever your trip may throw at you.

It’s not all sunshine and roses. Understand where leather bags fall short before you commit to the style. 

Top-grain leather isn’t cheap, and you won’t find a genuine leather bag suitable for travel for less than a few hundred dollars.

Using a cheaply sourced leather material like split leather bags defeats the purpose of the material. You’d be better off buying a nylon or canvas bag than settle for less than the best leather, which could set you back a few paychecks.

Carbon Footprint

It’s getting harder and harder to ignore the impact our choices have on the environment that raised us. Leather is a naturally sourced material, but that doesn’t mean it’s eco-friendly. Unless you know exactly where the leather in your bag was sourced from, it’s easy to wonder about the conditions in the factories that produced your current look.

Limited Colors

Because leather is a natural substance, you’ll be sorting through a sea of brown to find your next bag. Although each leather color is unique, and there are loads of different shades to shop for, there are fundamental limitations to the color choices to pick through.

Luckily, the colors that leather does come in work with any look.

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve come a long way towards securing the best leather bag for your next trip. Women’s travel gear is catching up slowly, but it can be hard to find the perfect bag for a modern traveler, especially when it comes to leather. 

The best leather bags in the business will let you conquer challenges big and small, with a lightweight toughness ready for anything. 

My favorite backpack, the Katmai Diaper Bag , does a lot more than carrying toiletries. It’s a versatile leather bag that has a place in every closet. 

If you’re only going to have one leather bag that looks to work well in every scenario, this 25L Denali Canvas Duffel is the closest thing leather bags have to a swiss army knife. 

Whichever bag is good enough for your shopping cart, it’s sure to make your trips easier for years to come if it comes from this list.

Exquisitely Rich-Hued Leather for Refined Tastes

Travel can be an unwelcome burden, or an exciting adventure ready for the taking. The difference is in the attitude of the traveler.

Add some luxury, convenience, and elegant style to the trip, and you’ll light the fire of excitement and exploration, regardless of the reason for the travel, work or play.

But elegance and style are just some benefits of owning a premium leather travel bag. There are more.

Versatility in Everyday Life

Whether you need a bag for a daily commute to work or weekend getaways, a leather travel bag does the job exceptionally well. These bags are even great for longer trips, or to keep work items organized and portable for those whose jobs keep them on the road much of the time.

Fashion Meets Functionality

You don’t need to choose between something that is well-designed for the job and something that looks good. A premium leather travel bag can be a stunning accessory even as it hauls your necessary items here and there, keeping what you need ready.

Situational Appropriateness

The bag looks professional too, so it is at home in a business meeting as it is moving through an airport or special event. It is designed for efficient use and the safety of your items but also to show off elegant style and quality.

Compatibility

Your laptop, tablet, phone, and other gadgets and items will find a secure and accessible place in your travel bag’s dedicated pockets, made for purpose. Even from a fashion standpoint, your bag will complement designer outfits, suit more formal business environments, and elevate a casual style.

Quality and Durability

The price point may be higher than some bags on the market, but that can be misleading. Consider the value of the style and quality. A premium leather bag will last for years, resisting wear and tear, looking great, and functioning perfectly throughout that time. That kind of durability outlasts multiple cheaper bags.

How to Choose

There are a lot of different features and styles to choose from, so to keep your shopping experience from getting overwhelming, consider the following factors and how important each one may be to you and your needs.

Material Quality

Not all leathers are the same. Each has advantages and limitations.

Full-Grain Leather

This is the most durable option. It is thickest and ages well, gaining a patina and deeper look to the grain over time.

Top-Grain Leather

Slightly thinner and lower in cost, top-grain leather has a smoother finish that takes bright colors better, but it is not as durable as full-grain and is more easily marred or damaged.

Vegan Leather

This looks and feels like cheaper leather, and uses no animal products. It is less durable, but much cheaper than full-grain or top-grain options.

Stain-Resistant Exterior

Look for bags with stain-resistant exteriors. This can also be achieved with after-purchase conditioning with a water-repellent or similar treatment.

Design & Aesthetic

Are you looking for a classic design, suitable for formal business situations? Perhaps you prefer a sleek, modern look along minimalist lines. You might even opt for a custom design to get exactly what you have in mind.

Storage Capacity

Choose a small size for day trips or for use as a companion bag to something larger. Medium-size bags suit weekend getaways or business trips of a similar duration. If you like to bring a lot with you or expect to take longer trips requiring more changes of clothing and other items, then a large bag is the way to go.

Expandable Design

For the best of two worlds, choose a small or medium bag that can expand a larger size. This allows you to carry more when you need to, while avoiding the floppy, ungainly feel of a larger bag with not enough in it.

Functionality

Some features make the difference between how well your bag functions – but it depends on how you plan to use it. Consider these.

Multiple Pockets

The right number, size, and placement of added pockets keep items close to hand when you need them, but safe and secure when you don’t.

Laptop Compartment

Safe storage for a laptop or tablet is a must. It should be a padded pocket or sleeve with enough room to slip in and out without a struggle.

Built-in Tech Charging

An easy port to plug in your tech while moving is a must. Keep electronic tickets and itineraries accessible. Keep in touch when you need to, or entertain when you have some free time, by keeping your electronics powered up.

Convertible Straps

Some bags have the ability to switch from a shoulder bag to a backpack to a handbag. Even if you don’t need that much convertibility, make sure you have a good, padded shoulder strap or a bag equipped with wheels – this will allow some carrying options, increasing comfort when on the move.

Durability Features

Look for signs of robust construction – a must for a good travel bag.

Reinforced Stitching, Edges, and Corners

This ensures that the trouble points of your bag will last a long time, and that it can hold more weight when necessary.

Metal Zippers

These hold up much better than plastic ones, and often slide more smoothly under pressure.

Weather Resistance

You may not always be able to avoid rain or other elements, so make sure your bag is water-resistant. Some bags come this way, but there are treatments to add water resistance to bags that don’t have that feature at the time of purchase.

Brand Reputation

Budget-friendly.

Budget-friendly brands are less expensive but usually do not last as long, so you will need to replace or repair them more frequently.

Luxury brands

Luxury brands cost more, but may last many times longer, working out to a better value in the end. They also have a vested interest in protecting their reputation – and that means backing up their product through warranties and excellent customer service.

Mid-range brands land somewhere between budget-friendly and luxury, lasting longer than cheap bags, but not normally as durable or well-designed as the top-end choices.

Price Range

The old adage is true: You get what you pay for. Paying more initially can mean a better-looking, more functional bag that lasts for decades. Paying less may seem better in the short term, but as the bag loses its initial good looks, falls apart, and needs to be replaced, you may wish you’d have invested a bit more. It’s not all about price, to be sure, but quality does come at a higher cost.

Not all travel bags are the same. In fact, the available styles could be divided into several types. To find the best bag for you, first narrow it down to the type you want.

Each bag is crafted with the highest quality standards and genuine design aesthetics in mind to ensure a spacious and durable final product that makes being on the go easy and hassle-free. Comfortably pack everything you need and set off without worrying about what to take and what to leave out. There is more than meets the eye, and nicely-organized internal compartments give you the freedom to pack more than just the bare essentials. Handmade in Florence, Italy by experienced craftsmen in family-owned studios, these premium Italian full-grain leather bags lined with sturdy cotton canvas will easily accompany you for years to come.

Popular types include: Travel Purse Bags | Briefcase Purses | Crossbody Bags

Weekender Bags

Weekenders are spacious for their size, which is just big enough to suit a couple of nights away. There is space for clothing, essentials, and maybe a book or souvenir. Some include a built-in shoe compartment to keep dirty soles from marking clean clothing.

Our larger leather weekender bags are ideal for when you need to carry a lot of items with you on a weekend getaway. These are designed in a duffel bag style, and can also be used as a gym bag. They have a dedicated laptop compartment, and an adjustable shoulder strap. Choose a leather duffle bag as they're far more durable and fashionable than other materials. You will have plenty of room for clothes, shoes, a toiletry bag, and other essentials.

Ladies Overnight Bags

Our range of travel bags are ideal as overnight bags, with enough room for all of your personal items and change of clothes. Great for a short trip, or even a weekend away.

Tote bags tend to feature a single, main compartment, and a large opening at the top, which may or may not include a fastener snap or zipper. Yes, they are simple, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make a bold statement. Tote bags are a great choice, a favorite accessory to designer outfits and regular office wear.

Our Travel Tote Bags range is ideal when you want a bag that's both convenient for the office, and can also be a useful carry-on bag. A tote bag has a surprisingly large amount of space, making it a great option while traveling.

Duffel Bags

A more rugged bag, with similar functional features as a tote, the duffel includes a zipper closure and parallel handles for safe and easy transport of items inside.

They sometimes include an additional pocket inside or out and often include a shoulder strap for a comfortable carrying option. Some even feature wheels and a telescopic handle.

Messenger Bags

The crossbody strap and flexible, body-hugging design make these bags a favorite with public transport commuters, tourists, and messengers too! They often feature a flap closure and a single interior compartment.

A backpack is a very practical and popular style for travel that features a lot of walking or cycling, or even if you want a comfortable way to carry your things that leaves your hands free for shopping, taking pictures, or holding onto safety rails on trains and busses. Some travel backpacks even include a detachable day pack.

A travel backpack is a fantastic alternative to a handbag for use as your personal item while traveling on a plane. Carry-on luggage can be uncomfortable, so having a backpack takes the stress of your arms, and keeps your hands free for showing your passport and wallet.

Satchels most often have a flat bottom, a short handle, and a longer strap for shoulder carrying. They provide more structure than totes or duffels, and are at home in business-casual situations. They are small compared to messenger bags or duffels, but will fit your laptop or tablet, a few essentials, and paper documents or photos.

Alternatives

Let’s take a look at the alternatives to leather travel bags, and the advantages and disadvantages of the leather option.

Business Travel

Nylon briefcases or backpacks are often lighter than leather bags of a similar size, and they sometimes are more resistant to weather, but they can appear cheaper, or less professional. If you need to make a positive impression – professionally or otherwise – a leather bag gives you an advantage.

Weekend Getaway

Canvas duffels are lighter and less expensive, but they don’t last as long and don’t normally look very chic or luxurious. Hard-shell luggage provides more protection to items inside but tends to be heavy and awkward to pack around the internal structures of the handles.

Leather getaway bags are as portable and light as you need them to be, and will last for years, or even decades, with proper care.

Luxury Travel

Designer fabric bags look great when new, but quickly lose their shine and appeal when hit with the realities of travel. Luxury hard-shell cases are durable but heavy and often much more expensive.

Scratches show on them and make them look old and beaten up. Leather, however, looks luxurious and chic, and can even gain in beauty and character from a scuff here and there – especially a naturally-finished full-grain leather bag.

Post Purchase Considerations

As you choose and use your new leather travel bag, you may have questions, concerns, or considerations – It is important that you have that information.

It will make the whole experience, from shopping to using the items during travel, a lot more exciting and successful.

Sizing and Space

To make sure your bag will hold everything you want, lay out the items you want to carry and compare that to the size of the bag. Another great method is to know the size of your previous travel bag and choose something about that. Was it a bit too small? Choose a leather bag that is a bit larger.

Too large? Choose a smaller one. Just right? Well, Goldilocks, you’re good to go with something of similar size.

Material Care

Not sure what goes into caring for a premium leather travel bag? It’s quite simple. Condition you bag when you first get it, and two to three times a year after that. You may also want to consider a water-proofing treatment if you are going to be in rainy areas a lot.

Each bag comes with specific directions for care and cleaning, should the need arise.

Style Versatility

If you want a bag that can suit the widest range of situations, choose a style toward the formal end of the desired spectrum. Formal situations seldom suit casual or trendy items, but a chic or elegant bag elevates a casual look without seeming out of place.

What types of leather are used in these travel bags?

All of our travel bags are made from full grain leather, that's vegetable tanned, and certified as Italian leather.

How do I care for my leather travel bag?

Guidance for care and cleaning is included in each purchase, and can also be found in the item description.

Are these bags TSA-approved?

Most of our travel bags are suitable for use as carry-on luggage on most airlines, and meet TSA guidelines. It is always best to check individual airlines for details regarding the size and weight of bags.

Can I customize my bag?

Yes, all Von Baer bags can be personalized with a laser engraving.

The 14 Best Travel Purses for Your Next Adventure

As someone who is constantly on the move, I’m well versed in the best travel purses. Whether I’m taking regular trips back home to Washington, D.C., or flying across the country to visit my brother in Los Angeles, I've never left the house without a purse draped across my shoulder.

Size is a matter of personal preference: You may seek out a small purse if you're packing light, or a medium crossbody if you're taking in sights with a guidebook in tow. However, I will say that big bags have been dominating trend cycles. Just take a look at recent fashion shows, such as Balenciaga’s Fall 2024 spectacle in L.A. which featured a sea of sizable shoulder bags , leather totes , and crossbody bags to tote everything you could possibly need on vacation.

Best Travel Purse with an Adjustable Strap

Isabel marant nessah bag.

The supple leather of Saint Laurent's Bea tote will feel so comfortable resting on your shoulders. The handles' broad width will also reduce pressure, so carrying heavier items like your water bottle or tablet in transit won’t cause a problem.

Dimensions: 11"H x 19.3"W x 5.5"D.

Material: Leather

Color: Black

Misplacing your belongings can gravely impact any adventure. (I've lost several essentials in the past because I’ve relied on jacket pockets and non-closure bags to carry my precious belongings.) Instead, invest in a bag like Anya Hindmarch’s In-Flight tote to organize all your must-haves. This suede-trimmed design is equipped with countless compartments that will house every kind of essential, small or large.

Dimensions: 10.2"H x 15.4"W x 9.8"D.

Material: Canvas, leather, suede

Colors: Brown, multicolored

Attempting to carry a handbag while juggling heavy luggage can be a cumbersome experience. That’s why Maguire likes to sling Reformation’s Rosetta Sling Crossbody Bag over her shoulder. “The black colorway will go with everything in your closet,” Maguire notes—whether you're traveling far or spending another day in your home town.

Dimensions: 9.75"H x 11.75"L x 4"D

Material: Leather, suede

For those who pack lightly, you’ll simply need an uncomplicated belt bag to wear around your waist. Turn to Proenza Schouler's Stanton bag, which features a stud-fastening belt and a twill lined interior. If you would rather wear this accessory as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag, just adjust the belt size to your desired length.

Dimensions: 7.7"H x 16.9"W x 4.5"D.

C olors: White, black

Those who have traveled with me know my go-to purse is Longchamp’s Le Pliage tote. As a self-proclaimed carrier of big bags, I’m not ashamed to say that my list of essentials is lengthy. This tote effortlessly stores my phone, wallet, laptop, and favorite book— along with a host of other items that many would call unnecessary on the road.

What reviewers are saying: “This is the perfect daily bag that can hold all of your essentials. The bag is very lightweight and has an inside pocket to hold small items. No need to hold a bottle of water in your hand or an umbrella. This bag is deep enough to hold all your key items for the day without being too heavy.”

Dimensions: 11.75"H x 12.25"W x 7.5"D.

Material: Nylon, leather

Colors: Brown, black, navy, red, pink, blue, green, gray, dark green, orange

If you’re traveling for work, chances are you’re constantly answering emails and completing last-minute tasks in transit. For this reason, it’s wise to invest in a durable leather bag that’s large enough to fit your laptop. Madewell’s Essential Tote is a crowd favorite, and with a secure zip closure, firm handles, and even a cup holder, we understand why.

Dimensions: 12"H x 11"W x 6"D.

Colors: Brown, black, green

Some of us like to pack several bags in our suitcases. But if options tend to overwhelm you, and you’d rather just take one purse that will get the job done, Chloé’s best-selling Marcie bag is up for the task. Use the detachable shoulder strap while traveling, and when you reach your destination, carry it by the handles.

Dimensions: 9"H x 13.8"W x 4.3"D.

“This fanny pack from St. Agni is the perfect size, and I love the color,” says Maguire. The neutral hue of this crescent shaped accessory makes it a great everyday bag no matter what you're packing. If you’re brainstorming your next travel outfit, consider pairing this piece with a gray crew neck, black leggings, and chunky sneakers .

Dimensions: 5.5"H x 11.5"L x 4"D.

Color: Ecru

Gargantuan? Not quite. Spacious? Most certainly. With a width of over 1 foot, The Row’s Camdem tote is especially fitting for heavy packers. However, despite its large size, there’s no need to worry about losing your smaller items within this purse. The internal zip pocket will keep your tiny things within reach.

Dimensions: 9.1"H x 12.6"W x 49.2"D.

The warm burgundy shade is what initially caught my eye, but what really drew me in was the smooth adjustable strap. I might have to indulge in this Isabel Marant piece for my next trip out to L.A.

Dimensions: 7"H x 11"W x 2"D.

Color: Burgundy

Prada Re-Nylon Shoulder Bag

Re-Nylon Shoulder Bag

Prada’s shoulder bag is designed with recycled nylon, but that in no way takes away from its elevated, carry-everywhere aesthetic. The minimalist silhouette and silver hardware are sleek and lightweight for city travels. The removable pouch is a nice (and useful) touch.

Dimensions: 9.4"H x 11.6"W x 3.5"D.

Material: Recycled nylon

Mansur Gavriel Small Zip Tote

Small Zip Tote

Mansur Gavriel's zip tote is made with gorgeous saffiano leather and decorated with a pastel pink hue that is beyond charming. The dimensions are just large enough to carry travel necessities like a passport holder, snacks, and a guidebook without weighing you down. With seven other shades to choose from, perhaps you might even consider purchasing more than one.

Dimensions: 10"H x 12.5"W x 4"D.

Colors: Cream, beige, blue, pink, red, burgundy, green, multicolored

Acne Studios Embossed Faux Patent-Leather Tote

Embossed Faux Patent-Leather Tote

A glossy finish like this is truly hard to resist. Acne Studios’ tote has convinced me that traveling with a patent leather purse will make my next city vacation experience that much better.

Dimensions: 13.8"H x 18.1"W x 6.3"D.

Material: Patent leather

BOTTEGA VENETA Hop Large Intrecciato Leather Tote

Hop Large Intrecciato Leather Tote

The fashion industry’s obsession with slouchy silhouettes isn’t fading anytime soon. Take part in the excitement with Bottega’s iconic tote, woven with the brand’s signature intrecciato technique that’s noticeable wherever you're headed this year.

Dimensions: 14.2"H x 22.4"W x 4.3"D.

Colors: Brown, white, blue

In my research, stylist Catherine Bibeau lent me her expertise. She agrees that leather backpacks are “ideal for carrying essentials on the go while effortlessly elevating any outfit with its chic and versatile appeal.” While you shop, though, Bibeau emphasizes that leather quality is of the utmost importance. Durable leather will last longer and maintain its luxe appearance. “Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and MCM are classic, iconic brands known for their exceptional quality and chic style,” she says. “They boast timeless designs that seamlessly blend classic elegance with a modern aesthetic, ensuring they remain fashionable for years to come.” As you might have guessed, you can expect to see all three of those brands ahead.

If you’re a fellow backpack loyalist, you understand all of the appeal. But in case you’re new to the posture-friendly style , prepare to be delighted. “You can pair leather backpacks with anything, and that’s the beauty of them,” Bibeau says. “You can wear it with sportswear for a casual vibe or with a blazer or a dress for a more polished look. The versatility of leather backpacks makes them a go-to accessory for any occasion.” Without further ado, here are 15 fantastic options to add to your wardrobe now.

For the buyer who isn’t messing around with itty bitty bags, this is a bona fide rucksack that will actually hold all your belongings.

Material: Leather, cotton, linen, polyurethane

Dimensions: Length: 18.9 inches; depth: 7.9 inches; height: 15.7 inches

Sometimes the men’s section is where you can really score big. Men’s styles are likely to be larger and more utility-forward—especially when it comes to an item like a backpack.

Not only is it incredibly chic and timelessly versatile, but in buying this Louis Vuitton option, you’re also boosting the circular economy .

This bag is undoubtedly luxury without making it glaringly obvious. Plus, puffer bags are still on trend.

DESIGN DEFINITION

Our philosophy is simple, we believe in our signature design aesthetic and craft products that we would feel proud of and glad to use ourselves. The modern world of consumerism has converted design into a commodity; with brands churning out new designs and collections to keep pace with rapid trends. At Nappa Dori, we believe design holds a higher purpose and should be a metaphor for positive change, elation and evolution of the world we inhabit. Design is transformative in nature and changes perspectives, and at Nappa Dori we are obsessive about taking those age-old techniques and reviving them to modern day lifestyles. We are in no rush but we’re never standing still. Read More

Like good architecture, we respect the structural integrity of a product. Our design framework involves a lot of research and analysis and this is something we’re truly passionate about. It’s about exhaustive diagnostics on what worked in the past, how the world has changed and then trying to bridge that gap or revive a new way to engage with a product.

The details, materials, shapes, styles and structures; everything is chosen meticulously and built thoughtfully keeping in mind the end product. The love of vintage plays a big part in our design approach, the idea that good quality items can potentially be passed down and admired through generations is something that feels nostalgic to us and while staying relevant and fresh we aim to keep the aesthetic timeless.

METAMORPHOSIS OF THE WAREHOUSE

The Nappa Dori Warehouse is located in Chhattarpur area of New Delhi, India. It is the epitome of our brand, and somewhat fittingly, a place that started as an experiment. To most, it was just a derelict mill that wasn’t worth a second glance, but to Gautam, it was the ideal setting for our flagship location, a compendium of surrealist elements - trusses, three gargantuan pillars, a rolling shutter-door and of course, raw, unfinished walls. Even the floors were stripped, so there was a lot to do!

While keeping the interiors minimal, Nappa Dori’s quaint and inimitable style of detailing have been the key focus; the tools displayed in the atelier, the antiques and other memorabilia in the treasure cabinets, the hand painted signage or the Harry Potter audio books in the restrooms. The Nappa Dori Warehouse became a convergence of equal parts industrial vernacular, Read More
