Michael Kors - Travel Bags

One of the biggest misconceptions about travel bags is that you must purchase something specifically made for travelling. Oftentimes, travel-specific bags are not only less than chic, but are also so obviously created for travel documents that they scream out to would-be thieves and pickpockets exactly where you have stashed your valuables. Fashion-conscious travelers know that you do not have to sacrifice style for function while on the go. There are three styles in particular that work particularly well for travelling: the cross-body bag, the tote bag, and the satchel. The cross body bag allows your hands to be free while dispersing the weight of its contents evenly across the body. Ideally, look for a strap that is sturdy, and that allows the handbag to fall just at the hip. The tote bag is something that many fashionistas consider an absolute fashion essential. The tote can double as an airline carry-on, a beach bag, and a grocery bag in a pinch, and comes in a wide variety of shapes and fabrications. Like the tote, a satchel also can act as an ideal carry-on bag, and often has the advantage of having built-in inner pockets so that it can be used to transport a laptop. Most varieties come with a shoulder strap, which is recommended. With any bag that you use for travelling, opt for designs that have a zip closure to insure that you are able to keep wandering hands off of your precious belongings.
