Airfare is crazy, luggage is a hassle and overpacking is a nightmare. A convertible garment duffle bag may be the one-bag solution to many of your vacation baggage woes. It features an inbuilt garment bag for your dresses, jackets and pants that zips up into a duffle bag, providing additional space for all your travel essentials.
You can carry it as a duffle, a sling or a backpack, and it’s sized to work as a personal item on most airlines. This means you can skip the check-in line without sacrificing your travel necessities.
Another plus point is that the bag lays flat when unzipped, making it great for storage or slipping into a larger bag as an extra standby for when you inevitably shop more than you expected.
