When you’re planning an overseas trip, one of the most important things to consider is the best carry-on bag to take with you. A carry-on bag needs to be lightweight, fit within the airline size guidelines and be organised so you can easily access your essentials without fuss.


The Hamilton Nylon Weekender Bag is a small overnight bag designed to fit easily in overhead cabins with the soft and malleable nylon fabric. The two-tone pairing of nylon and vegan leather looks effortlessly luxe while also being super easy to keep clean (just a wet wipe will remove marks and dirt without leaving a water stain!).


If nylon isn’t your style, or your looking for a men's overnighter as a gift for your partner, the Milano Travel Bag is a slightly larger, unisex duffle bag made from vegan leather. 


The Milano is a versatile travel bag, as the design suits both men and women, plus it has both long top handles and an extension strap, so you can choose the most comfortable way to wear it.

Functional Work Bags for Travel

If you’re an avid jetsetter for work, you’ll know the most important accessory in your wardrobe is a stylish work bag that keeps you organised and chic. Finding a work bag that also doubles as a travel bag can be like finding a needle in a haystack, so we’ve rounded up one of the best work travel bags to make your next work commute effortlessly chic. 


The number one feature in a specially designed travel work bag is a trolley sleeve, or luggage sleeve. Tote bags with trolley sleeves, like the Nora Tote Bag, are oh-so functional as you can simply slip over your luggage handle and commute hands-free (saves your shoulder and your blazer from a heavy shoulder strap!) The Nora Tote Bag fits up to a 16” laptop and multiple internal and external pockets to store your charger, pens, phone and other small essentials.

The Best Handsfree Sling Bags for Travelling

Travelling overseas can be a stressful experience, ensuring your passport and travel documents are close at hand and secure at all times. A women’s bum bag or sling bag is the perfect way to travel handsfree and keep your valuables safe at the same time, as it cannot easily slip off your shoulder. The Boyd Sling Bag is a customer favourite, for its urban aesthetic, ergonomic design, multiple pockets, and soft, semi-waterproof nylon fabric. Tuck your passport, keys, or credit card in the back side zip pocket close to your chest for ultimate security. 


If you prefer a slightly more feminine style, the Halsey Sling Bag is the ideal sling bag for women. Exuding luxe simplicity with the classic shape enhanced by a vegan leather threaded gold chain detail, the Halsey adds a stylish touch to your travel wardrobe.

Stylish Baby Bags for Travel

If you are a busy mum, you know the most important thing to keep you organised and stress-free when you travel is a large, functional baby bag. If your baby bag doesn’t come with these features, it’s probably not going to make your life any easier: 

  • Easy to clean 
  • Pockets everywhere
  • Bottle holder 
  • Looks stylish
  • Comfortable straps
  • Flat base for easy packing 

Louenhide have recently designed the ultimate baby bag for mums, the Madden Baby Bag, which makes travelling with baby a breeze (mostly!). The Madden features two bottle holders (one for you and one for bub!), a zipped base compartment ideal for wipes, nappies or spare clothes, pockets on the inside and outside, and a foldable change mat for added convenience. 


Easily wipe down spills or marks on the nylon exterior with a wet wipe and carry the Madden comfortably on your shoulder or attach to the pram with the Velcro pram handle clips. Make your everyday adventures or holidays simple, yet stylish with this mum tote bag by your side.

The Best Travel Toiletry Bags

As women, something we never leave behind is our makeup or cosmetics. It’s essential to find the right size toiletry bags for travel, and it all depends on where you’re going, how you’re travelling and for how long.


For long overseas trips, you can’t go past a large cosmetic bag that’s secure from spills and easy to hang in the hotel bathroom. The Maggie Cosmetic Bag is the ideal women’s toiletry bag for travel, as it is soft, and easily compresses to fit inside your travel bag. The Maggie features a tri-fold design with a hanging hook and three clear plastic compartments that display your products easily and prevent spills.


For short overnight stays or quick business trips, a small makeup bag like the Ellis Makeup Bag, is a great way to carry a few makeup essentials and travel size cosmetics without weighing you down. The Ellis opens flat with two storage compartments and a central zip pocket, and can easily hold a few make up brushes, foundation, mascara, palettes, and a few travel size bottles and a toothbrush.
