With July having fully metamorphosed into a trail of memories, now is time to ensconce ourselves into the month of August. To celebrate the final months of summer, nothing beats a series of thrilling excursions. Yet realistically, hopping from one place to another isn’t always a breeze – sandy beaches and blazing cities don’t just materialise before us in the snap of a finger. This is especially true when you have to navigate your way through unfamiliar places, arms full of baggage, and not recalling where you’ve packed any of your essentials in a last-minute frenzy.

What if I told you there are ways to optimise your next journey? When it comes to hassle-free travels,  the first step is finding the perfect bag for you. Here is our selection of the finest travel bags that will enable you to pursue your travels in comfort and even more importantly, in style.

The frustration that comes with not being able to locate a lipstick among a sea of other bits and bobs, is most probably a universal experience. Not only do crossbody bags function as stylish adornments, they are also excellent for securing your more delicate belongings such as lotions and scrunchies. Lightweight and unobtrusive, a dainty crossbody bag goes best with a large matching tote.

Over recent years, belt bags have been taking the fashion scene by storm, and we totally see why! Not only are they compact and portable, they are also unexpectedly versatile. Wear it on your waist, or alternatively, have it slung over your shoulder like a crossbody bag to exude that sense of effortless chic which no other piece can replicate.

After a seemingly endless day of duty-free shopping and catching planes, sipping on a Piña Colada at the beach is all we can think of. As easy as the job ‘beach’ might sound (– cheeky Barbie reference right here), it actually comes with many things one simply mustn’t forget. This obviously includes taking along with you a water-resistant bag that can hold all the items you could possibly need: crochet kit, film camera, shades but never miss out on sunscreen!
