Where do I find the perfect holiday handbag?

[ChattyChai]

I’m off on holiday at the end of next month and need the perfect handbag. One that is big enough day to day to carry things like a camera, essentials, suncream, but then I can also use as a bag in the evening. Alternatively, I need two - one good day time and one nighttime. For the day, a zipper is a must. I love my longchamp tote, but I have the large and it’s too big for holiday!

My favourite new bag is the one from uniquo. Great for daytime. It holds so much stuff. Like a mary poppins bag

A basket bag with a zip closure could be the solution. Hard to find one with a full zip closure, some have a draw string and many have a zipped internal pocket if that’s enough for valuables.

Is that the dumpling shaped one? I have three or four of those (but knock offs!), but I don’t think they’re quite right for dinner

Yes. Its more daytime. They have a large and small. I wouldnt mind the small one for nighttime.

I’m thinking of getting the large one, in the hope it’ll fit my camera!

This bag from Osprey London is a slightly smarter version of the Uniqlo bag you mentioned.

Any good?

Le Pliage would make a good everyday holiday bag and is available in different sizes.
