Trying to find the right size bag with the right number of pockets for trips gets so frustrating, especially when style is of concern. It's pretty much impossible to feel like a fabulous jetsetter when you're carrying 30 pounds of crap and standing in a long, miserable line — but investing in one of these cute bags might ease your pain somewhat.
These carry-on bags are big enough for a laptop, a book, a couple of magazines, and standard purse items. They're also small enough to carry as a purse during your trip. I've included the measurements or each so you can get an idea of whether or not your laptop will fit.
