Stylish practical hand luggage - recommendations?

[SomewhereNow]

I’m going on a work trip to Europe, just 2 nights and I’ll need to have my luggage with me a lot of the time due to travel and check in/out times. I’m happy to travel light and am considering a plainish rucksack but would welcome any other suggestions for something chic (3 guesses where I’m off to!)

Muji sell a range of hand luggage made out of parachute nylon. As you can imagine, it’s almost weightless so you can really maximise your allowance.

I really like the Cath Kidston weekend bags that fold away. I use mine loads and the little pouch you store it in doubles as a wash bag or for washing. Link

Go with the rucksack. You’ll fit right in assuming it’s paris (actually that statement holds true for most European cities)
