Kaia Peterka Getaway, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags


Norwegian designer Kaia Peterka knows a good bag is essential to the traveling girl. You need something that is durable, roomy and above all, stylish. This bag is all three. With a soft shape and a distressed look, the Getaway is dressed up with a broad strap, threaded through loops and wrapped casually around the bag. At 13" x 15.5" it is large enough to hold your travel essentials with room left over for shopping finds. Available in pewter, night, whiskey or choco, it has a zip top closure and is lined in a brocade fabric. $550.

Smythson Casablanca Travel Bag

Filed under: Handbags

Bright yellow seems to be the color of the season this spring. The daffodil bright hue is everywhere. Here we see it on the new Casablanca Bag from Smythson. It's part of Smythson's first travel collection. The bag is linen with a yellow calf leather trim with an ostrich print. The bag is lined in yellow fabric and has a leather base with protective feet. It also has a detachable shoulder strap. The bag sells for £625 but is unfortunately currently out of stock.

Susannah Hunter Daisy Garden Travel Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

If you're traveling long distance, you might prefer to check your luggage than to use a carry-on bag, but the Susannah Hunter Daisy Garden Travel Bag is still a lovely piece to have for short trips. The vintage-looking leather bag has double top handles as well as a detachable shoulder strap, making it versatile when on the go, and a suede lining. At 15"x 22.5"x 9.5", the bag should fit into an overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you on a flight - provided you leave your liquids at home, of course. The best part is that the floral design carries onto both the front and the back of the bag - a nice touch that so many designers seem to forget about. Price: $2,275.
