As long as when it’s got your things in, it’s not fatter than 25cm.

Yambabe · 31/12/2018 21:32

Yes but you'll not get much stuff in it

IShitGlitter · 31/12/2018 21:39

am only away for two nights so dont need much and I pack light. I hope!

That's tiny! 30cm is a standard ruler. You can take something almost twice as long (54cm).

BringOnTheScience · 31/12/2018 21:43

*56!

3boysandabump · 31/12/2018 21:44

I would get something bigger tbh

2019rubberband · 31/12/2018 21:50

Look. At the picture of it beside the mobile phone, it's literally twice the height of a phone. Far too small.

IShitGlitter · 31/12/2018 21:55

I think it might be big enough...maybe
a nightie
Few pairs of clean undies
x2 leggings
x2 light jumpers
makeup bag

Unlikely you will fit that in.

HotInWinter · 31/12/2018 22:02

Your list, plus phone, charger, wallet, passport.

I have a similar sized bag (32x27). Fits wallet, tablet, phone, jumper and it's full.
Not big enough for 2 nights away.

HotInWinter · 31/12/2018 22:05

But it's fine for hand luggage. Just not big enough for your needs.

IShitGlitter · 31/12/2018 22:14

will keep looking suggestions very welcome budget £20 EBay is fine too Ive been looking for days booo

Go for something like this and put your handbag, if tgarsxwhat you also need, inside it at the airport.
Disclaimer: never used this brand, just fits the size and price restrictions.

DumbledoresApprentice That looks a good one thanks

That's lovely ... but it's still just a handbag! You won't get 2 jumpers, 2 leggings, make up, etc in that.

PurpleFlower1983 · 01/01/2019 02:32

It’s nice but tiny! Get something bigger.

IShitGlitter · 01/01/2019 02:43

I honestly think I will get it all in. The jumpers are very thin and so are the leggings. A nightie wont take up much space either. Am not taking any tolitries apart from a mini dry shampoo and mini deo or rollon. The hotel has tolitries already and am buying toothpaste and brushes airside at the airport

It's a handbag. Not a particularly nice one, and how robust will it be for £11.20??!
You could easily get something more practical, stylish and durable.

mindutopia · 01/01/2019 07:49

Will that be your only handbag? Many of the budget carriers now only allow one bag, period. So handbag is you bring one has to fit in your carry on.

Squatternutbosh123 · 01/01/2019 08:31

And what about tickets, passport, money, keys, phone, charger etc. I'd struggle to get the bare minimum in there

MissWimpyDimple · 01/01/2019 08:49

I'm a light packer but you are really pushing it with that one!

Have you actually travelled much in the past?

forgivenminds · 01/01/2019 09:05

I wouldn't touch anything from boohoo, there quality is really quite bad and customer service is pretty much non existent. Yes you many only use it one trip but why not get something more durable or comfortable. If you're going to be using it/wearing it/holoding it for duration of your trip wouldn't a backpack me better. Cabin Max suitcases are sometimes on offer for £20 and decent size

Cambionome · 01/01/2019 09:24

Why are you determined to take a handbag instead of proper hand luggage? You really won't get much in that!
