Handbags and satchels are great for running around town, popping in and out of the shops and carrying your daily necessities in, but when it comes to traveling… you really never know what you’ll need or where your day may take you (perhaps into an unsavory part of town to see an amazing relic from ages past). So before you pack your bag for a grand adventure, snap up a sling bag! You can keep your must-haves with you – without worrying about having your bag snatched from your hand.
Some chic and fabulous sling bags on my list this spring include:
Bisadora Bohemian Sling. In shimmering silver metallic suede, it’s the perfect sling bag for day and night! Stash your cell phone in the outer zippered pocket for easy access and your more valuable pieces (e.g. your wallet and credit cards) in the larger pouch for extra security.
Clava Everyday Sling. This rich leather sling bag has a classic adventure story vibe that’s works so well with jeans and a white button-up shirt. Best of all, it’s a unisex bag, so if you’re traveling with someone else, you can take turns carrying your necessities.
Ellington SUB On-the-Go Organizer. Featuring a zip pocket, snap pocket, two slip pockets, four card slots and a zip bill compartment, this compact little sling bag give you room for the basics… and nothing more. (But sometimes, that’s all you really need.)
Pacsafe SlingSafe 200 Anti-Theft Sling Purse. Designed specifically for travelers, versatile sling bag boasts an eXomesh® Slashguard front panel, a slashproof adjustable shoulder strap and a tamperproof concealed safety hook to the secure front flap, main compartment and zippers. Best of all, it’s actually stylish!
Calpak Gate 18-inch Sling-style Laptop Backpack. For those of you who just can’t leave your laptops at home, this sturdy little sling bag features a padded laptop compartment, self-repairing zippers and extra pockets for things like water bottles, maps and wallets. And since it comes in gray & black or red & black ripstop nylon, it’s also a great choice for men and women.
