Can you reccomend a good bag for the plane?

Thinking of a soft tote bag with a zip but not a huge one. Luggage will be in the hold. I'll have travel documents, book, glasses, make up bag and purse.

How are you guys washing yours?

Can I jump on this please, and ask if anyone has the longchamp rucksack?
I’ve been looking at the ‘le pliage’ for travelling in the summer, but think I would like my hands free - are they nearly as good?

Thanks era, I wouldn't like it either if it was as light as that. That's good to know.

Look! There is an alternative to le pliage!

Longchamp Le Pliage

There is a reason why virtually everyone has one.

I was thinking of getting the rucksack prompted by a recent break but I’ve never tried one.

I've got the little backpack. It's fairly small compared to the tote, but really useful. Can manage all say in a city break situation but not super comfortable straps if the bag v heavy etc, I have it in black. Has the brown leather top, a zip around the top and fabric straps.

There are lots of Le pillage options of bags can someone please let me know, is it shopper or tote ? And which size is best please.

I love my marc jacobs tote. Real life mary poppins bag. It doesnt have zip thougj annoyingly

Mine is a tote bag in large. £75 but mine was £50 at Bicester Village.

I've just ordered the Reisenthel (sp?) one as my beloved flight bag has just died and I like the solid base and this one looks great.

Can anyone advise if the Longchamp corners are hard wearing? I've been put off from buying one in case the corners get scuffed and worn easily?

Major Le Pliage fan here. Find them incredibly hardwearing. I always go for the tote with the long handles, which perch really well and comfortably on shoulder.

I'll be honest - one corner has worn on both of mine. Pretty quickly too. You can send them back for repair but I haven't bothered.

OP, just be aware that if you're flying Ryanair, their 'personal bag' size is now limited to 35×20×20 cm.

I have the Gwyneth bag advertised by Vogue, bought mine recently in TK Maxx for about £25. Had no idea it was considered stylish ! It is a fantastic bag, very light weight but capacious and can be stuffed under the seat in front easily . Travelled all around Chile with it recently on loads of flights , it still looks pristine.

Is it the nylon one you're all talking about?

What's the interior like? I quite fancy the navy one but I don't like it if it's too dark inside, then i can't find anything

I'd suggest Kipling because of all the pockets. I flew long haul with mine and it was great for being able to find everything. It's one if the larger ones from qvc.
