It’s hard to find a multi-functional bag that I can use for almost any occasion, but recently, I managed to hit the jackpot. Usually, I’m not able to take a travel tote from a vacation spot straight to the airplane, but Sidney Byron’s suite of Suncatcher bags do exactly that. They’re gorgeous, hand-crafted and come in a variety of colors to start, but what makes them truly unique is how roomy and well-made they are. The Croix Suncatcher Daytripper tote and pouch comfortably fit everything you’ll need for a day of sightseeing, but it also features internal pockets and a luggage sleeve on the back that can secure the bag to your suitcase if you’d rather use it as a personal item on your next flight.
Yes, the bag retails for an eye-watering $260, but trust me, it’s worth every penny and I’m going to tell you exactly why. The dimensions of this bag are 18 inches wide by 15 inches high. It was literally designed for wanderers — whether you’ll be on a quick day trip and need to pack your essentials into one bag or you’ll be taking a longer journey and want to bring it on your next vacation. Even if you don’t want to use it as a carry-on or personal item, the bag is really easy to fold up and store in your checked luggage if you’d rather use it once you reach your destination. You can also rest assured, if you decide to take it as a personal item, it’s designed to fit under most airline seats and it has a front pocket that’s intended to hold your passport.
