Anytime I travel I find myself staring at handbags and travel bags throughout the airport and on the plane. And each time I arrive at my final destination I think back and wonder why there aren’t better travel/carry on bags out there. For the most part, everything seems basic and boring. I have to say, I am a culprit as well. My handbag is always fabulous but my travel bags, well, not so much. I really could have used a bag like this Lauren Merkin Paige Croc-Embossed Duffel Bag when I was traveling over the weekend.
As I came across this bag today, I instantly liked what I saw. The camel crocodile-embossed leather looks great on this size (9 1/2″H x 15″W x 6″D) bag. Imagine toting this bag around as you travel instead of something boring. The golden hardware compliments the camel embossed leather nicely. But more than anything, with a bag you might use as a duffel bag, the handles have to be sturdy and these are. The top handles are reinforced with square rings and have a 7 1/2″ drop. A couple side pockets provide a great option for holding your ticket or something else you need to have on hand. I love that Lauren Merkin keeps diversifying her handbags, lovely! Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $525.
Me likey. I think it is a great travel companion. I have been working lately on upgrading my travel bags. I think this could be a contender. (fb)
That’s a nice looking bag, and I love the color! (fb)
Ooh, nice. It also looks great for those days when you leave the house early knowing that you’ve got fifty million things to do and have to carry a bit more than normal. Or an airplane carryon. (fb)
Now that is a color that I would rock. I don’t like croco embossing so I wish that the color was patent.
I love Tucker Paisley’s new Lilli Travel bag. Its multi-functional and luxurious at the same time. http://www.tuckerpaisley.com/cjgstore/product/00000000000105
