Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote is a classy travel bag to double as your carry-on.

As a frequent traveler myself, I always pack light. I bring a rolling suitcase that will fit in the overhead compartment and a purse large enough to stuff my laptop and a book in (as well as the other usual purse effects). This keeps me from having to check a bag, and keeps my valuables with me, just hovering three or four feet above my head.

One look at this and I can tell you this is a great bag for traveling. The durable, belted structure will keep all your important pieces together, and there's no mistaking that even at 14"H x 15 1/2"W x 5"D, this is a purse, and can be carried on with your luggage as your "small personal item."

The charcoal leather of this tote is accentuated with simple silver hardware and ingenious turnlock closures at the top and snap-button sides, which make it expandable. It includes two zipper pockets for important things like your passport and phone.

The Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr. Tote is available from Neiman Marcus for $528.00.

Briggs & Riley's Upright Carry-On

If you're looking for a reason to not check luggage and go carry-on only, here's one: My friend's holiday flight to France was canceled due to bad weather, but her luggage went to Amsterdam and Nice anyway. She waited a week for it to be returned to her.

Here's another reason: Briggs & Riley Travelware's smart 20-inch upright carry-on. At just 8.7 lbs., and 20 x 14 x 8.5 in. (50.8 x 35.6 x 21.6 cm), it's easy to maneuver and fits in the overhead compartment. Some other facts: The bag is made with Briggs & Riley's exclusive Tuff-lite fabric, offering strength as well as abrasion resistance. The company's "The Outsider" handle system means that the bars are on the outside, ensuring flat packing inside. And if anything goes wrong -- even airline damage -- you're covered with the "Simple as that" lifetime warranty. FoxNews.com even named the bag in its "Top Five Coolest Pieces of Luggage" as the "Best All-Purpose Carry-On."

Available in Desert, Silver, Rainforest, and Sunset (shown). $235.00

Like Ducati bikes? Now you can get the luggage to match. The motorcycle maker has become the latest brand to license their name to a luggage line. The Ducati Collection by Tumi is a line of eight red and black bags with the Ducati logo. The line ranges from a $35 key ring to the $435 carry-on shown here. Love the red and black and the rounded handle but is the big white logo on the side really necessary?
