Most of us haven't done much traveling as of late. I mean, if you have a spring break trip planned or a summer getaway on the calendar, it could very well be your first vacation in two+ years. How exciting! (But first things first, make sure to read the CDC's current travel guidelines amid the Omicron outbreak, stay up-to-date on health and safety protocols, and stock up on face masks—here are some of our favorites).
Now onto the fun part: Finding the perfect travel purse! But not just any old handbag—we're talking the best of the best because there's literally nothing more annoying than a bulky purse that keeps getting in the way when you're hauling heavy luggage or rushing through airport security. The purses, sling crossbodies, totes, and shoulder bags on this list feature all the bells and whistles—including spacious compartments, durable interior lining, exterior pockets (ideal for phone, ID, or wallet storage!), zippers, and even key leashes—to make sure that doesn't happen. Maximum storage and convenience coming right up!
