![]() ![]() “When I’m in New York, I use it as a shoulder bag for commuting (it can fit my MacBook Air vertically along with my wallet, phone, book, and a water bottle),” says Matthews. Read on for bags that don’t scream tourist, and that you might even consider using once you get home.Ī slightly larger option - big enough to fit a laptop, even - comes to us from Lyndsey Matthews, Destination News editor at AFAR, who says she’s used Everlane’s Form Bag almost every day since she bought it a few years ago. We talked to nine travel editors, trip planners, and a documentary photographer to hear about their go-to bags, including an ultra-secure, gorpcore-esque nylon version with plenty of interior pockets, and a structured cylindrical leather option elegant enough to carry from a day spent touring to a nice dinner. While the words “cross-body travel bag” might bring to mind a stodgy nylon number with a few too many zippers, that doesn’t have to be the case. And once you reach your destination, a cross body feels a slightly more secure way to carry around important items, like, say, your passport. Unlike a slippery tote, a cross body will stay on your arm while you remove your shoes and simultaneously scramble for your boarding pass at security. Whether you’re heading to Tokyo for two weeks or simply doing a few days in Montreal, a cross-body bag is a very practical thing to pack for a trip. Photo: Peter Turnley/Corbis/VCG via Getty Images
