I like using the Villager for my carryon. It has all the inside pockets and a zipper, which is important for when it goes under the seat in front of you. It usually doubles as my purse for my trip as well since it isn't too large.

I use the Miller Bag as my carryon. It carries everything I need, has 6 pockets inside and zippers and can fit easily under the seat in front of me.

Ditto this. I love my Miller for travel!! So much room in it!!! It's bigger so you can stuff a lot in it, however it does collapse nicely. I also own a Villager, but consider it more of a very large purse than a travel type bag.

I use The Vera as my carry-on bag on airplanes.

just an fyi...I saw on facebook that are having big sales this coming week.

I second the Vera. It's got great inside pockets and the long handle is great for carrying it around at the airports, etc.

DD13 will be traveling flying solo this summer and needs to carry as much as possible. She has a Vera bag which she loves but how does it compare in size to the Miller and Villager? I think something just a bit bigger would be good.

I use the super tote as my carry on. Even though it is big it easily smooshes down. I store it under the seat in front of me and it travels perfectly every time. TONS of pockets inside and out!!

My niece and I purchased pleated totes to fly with and using a large duffel as my carry on.

ps What bag is on sale today?

"Maggie" on sale today for $19. Anyone have this bag? Not sure if it is too small. I was going to order the Morgan yesterday but never got around to deciding on a color!

 

[TaraPA]

The Maggie is pretty small. I bought it for my niece for Christmas, along with the Zip Around Wallet - the wallet was too large to fit inside the Maggie & have it zip closed. It's a cute bag - but not for anyone who needs space to carry things!

Thanks, that is what I was afraid of. I would like a smaller bag but still need to fit a few things in there! The $19 price is tempting, too bad about the dang $8 shipping!! I still might get it though for a cute small summer bag. I currently am using a Betsy which to me is the perfect size but my family calls my bags "suitcases" so I am always on the lookout for a smaller more "purse-like" bag.

Thanks again for the info!

"Maggie" on sale today for $19. Anyone have this bag? Not sure if it is too small. I was going to order the Morgan yesterday but never got around to deciding on a color!

I have the maggie and all that fits in it is my cell, lotion, zip wallet, small/thin camera, and some gum. And that is completly packed!!! It is defiently a cute bag, but just not practical for me... I too and a suitcase carrier lol

Anyone know today's sale bag?

 

[DisLaw]

20% off sale items today. Maggie is still $19 though, I am kinda annoyed now because I did order it yesterday and now it is the same price and 20%off. Does anyone know if their website price adjusts? I am going to give them a call this morning to see what I can do. Its only a difference of $4 but hey, every dollar counts!! Plus I thought those sale prices were one day only prices so thats why I ordered yesterday.

I looked at the Maggie in the store yesterday before I ordered and I think it will work fine for what I am looking for. I have plenty of bigger bags to use when I need them. I was just looking for one to hold my wallet and phone for the summer.

Thanks for the input!

Just an update for anyone curious, I called customer service and they said the Maggie was $30 today and lo and behold when I rechecked my shopping bag, yes the Maggie was now listed as $30. But I know when I first looked this morning before 9am the bag was still $19 and the website automatically took 20% off bringing it down to around $15. I hope someone was able to take advantage of what must have been a glitch in the system that early!
