Handbags/ backpack etc

[wifey]

This year I’m taking a Kipling Art M bag ( rainbow pattern just ‘cos I love the colourway) which has a slip over section to go over the handle of a suitcase. That bag is roomy I’ve used it as a hospital overnight bag already. It can take a couple of t-shirts a cardigan, a pair of shorts/ light trousers, three days worth of underwear, a small bag of toiletries, my kindle and charger, my headphones and charger, phone and charger, watch charger and tissues and still has room for shoes and a rain poncho and my purse🥰I love this bag and it was under £50 so for a Kipling bag I’m a happy customer with this one. DH wants the larger wheeled version of this bag that’s between £65 and £130 at the moment on Amazon. My bag is adjustable so it can be made smaller or unzipped to its maximum size quickly. It’s also very light in weight but tough enough to withstand the rigours of travel for me. It will fit in an overhead bin nicely or go underneath a seat too.

I tried a Kipling cross body bag and I didn't really like it. I find them quite heavy and mine wasn't big enough to fit suncream in so only ever had my phone and purse in it!

We used to do this but DH says no, not again! He was like a mule with everything stuffed in his pockets...

Bagless most of the time. We use once a day sun cream and generally head home for the afternoon, phone in hand or pocket and Id in phone case. DH takes money and his phone.

If we decide to take pack lunch we have a cheap folding backpack that we use. I find the bigger the bag the more we take.

We get water from quick service restaurants for free on bagless days as well.

Another Kipling cross body bag user here. A dibb essential

It’s handy for going on rides and useful to have your hands free. I do find it a pain to have to queue for bag check though but I wear dresses all the time on holiday because I’m a bit chunky for shorts nowadays so don’t ever have pockets to put things in.

I usually us a Kipling Alvar bag (in pink) as my park bag. This year I’m thinking about trying a wristlet bag type thing that I can pop tissues, lip balm, change and pain meds into and pop that into a shorts pocket before we enter the parks. There are several good ones on amazon at the moment for under £30. DH can’t decide yet whether he wants to take his big camera and bag into the parks or just the smaller camera in his pocket. We’ll work it out before we get there though.

I made myself a crossbody bag using a few different Mickey fabrics. I received a few comments from the security staff!

I have a bumbag but if only going into a park for a few hours don't take a bag at all, just out phone in my pocket. Much quicker if you don't have a bag!
