Cute *And* Functional Travel Purses With All The Features You Need For Convenience

If you’re traveling for work, you’ll most likely need a briefcase. This lightweight option features nine interior storage compartments, one of which can hold a 13-inch to 15.6-inch laptop. It’s also made of durable, water- and scratch-resistant PU leather and has a polyester lining. In addition to its many storage options and durable exterior, this tote comes features a removable (and adjustable!) shoulder strap and handle, so you can use it as a shoulder bag or a handbag. It’s also available in Black, Beige, Brown, Coffee, Grey, Khaki, Navy, and Plum. 

Available in three sizes (14-inch, 15.6-inch, and 17-inch) and six color options, including Black, Wine Red, Grey, Light Red, Navy, and Orange, the LOVEVOOK travel backpack is perfect for anyone who’s constantly on the go. It’s also equipped with an anti-theft pocket on the back to protect your valuables while they charge via the built-in USB port, a padded strap, and a special safe phone-pocket.

This floral, multi-pocket crossbody (which could easily double as a diaper bag) offers a variety of storage options: Two exterior side pockets, two front zippered pockets, one back zipper pocket, one interior zipper pocket, two open interior pockets, and four interior card slots. The exterior is made of a water-resistant nylon while the interior is lined with polyester. If you’re not into floral patterns, this travel bag also comes in solid purple.

If you use public transportation often, this small crossbody offers just enough storage to get through the workday and features a five-point anti-theft security system that includes lock-down straps to help prevent sidewalk thieves from grabbing and dashing with your bag, locking compartments, RFID blocking pockets to prevent electronic identity theft, and a slash-resistant body to keep your valuables safe in busy areas. It also comes in three color options: Pewter, Sage, and Indigo.

For the price, this backpack travel bag is a steal. Not only is it available in a variety of colors, including Grey, Two-Toned Brown, Beige with Brown, Black, Blue, Dark Blue, Oil Wax Black, and Yellow, just to name a few, but it’s made of high-quality, water-resistant PU leather and features durable, metal accessories and a fabric inner-lining. There’s also tons of room for your phone, iPad, umbrella, and a book.

Sometimes simple is the best way to go. This PUMA tote is 100 percent polyester, features a zipper closure, an interior drop-in pocket, and reinforced base panels. It comes in two color options, Black/Gold and Camo, offers enough space for a few outfits, and is super-affordable, making for a great weekend-getaway handbag option.

The Rebecca Minkoff features leopard-print interior, a shoulder strap, three exterior pockets, and a zip closure. It’s perfect for anyone who needs a purse that’ll hold a toothbrush, book, phone, meds, etc. for spur of the moment weekend trips. 

Herschel Supply Co. is one of the most trustworthy backpack brands out there. The design is cool and minimalist (and borderline vintage, which we love) and the functionality is hard to beat. The strand tote is the perfect size for schlepping your laptop and lunch to work as well as a weekend getaway. The two-way zipper pulls and snaps down for easy, quick access, and there are plenty of sleeves (to keep passports, notebooks, and lip balms galore).

If you’re looking for something that’s a cross between a purse and a weekender bag, we love Everlane’s Do-It-All Tote. It’s pretty big, which already a plus — but what makes it super functional is the strong, long, and comfortable strap. You can store a bunch of stuff without having to worry about shoulder aches and pains. Made of polyester and tencel, it’s hard to get this purse dirty. And if you do, you can just throw it in the wash (just hang to dry). Ps. It comes in two gorgeous colors!

Looking for something timeless, durable, and functional? Rag & Bone’s leather passport bag is truly meant for just a few items — so if you’re the kind of person who takes half your house with you on board, this purse isn’t for you. However, if you travel super light or like to pair a backpack with a smaller bag that holds all the IDs and tickets at the ready, we suggest this handy number. It fits all your essentials, like your phone, passport, keys, and wallet, features a magnetic closure so you never have to worry if you actually zipped your bag, has an adjustable crossbody strap for comfort, and comes in three beautiful colors.
