For this reason, the Editors of Vogue Italia have selected 9 practical and trendy travel bags in which to put everything you need, combined with their favorite destinations. In short, ideal for a light-hearted mini trip.
Designer travel bags
The Louis Vuitton bag for a weekend between Naples and Sorrento
My inseparable travel companion is the Louis Vuitton bag, which has always proved perfect for small trips and very useful especially in the summers I spent between Naples and Sorrento. What I love about this model is the fact that it is extremely roomy but at the same time not excessively large. So, even when it is very full I can always carry it alone, putting it over my shoulder. Laura Tortora, Fashion News & Wedding Editor
The Longchamp bag for a weekend in London or on the lake
Every time I go to London I choose to bring my bag so as not to risk having to board and deprive myself of even just half an hour in my favorite city. I like the Longchamp Le Pliage Green duffle bag because it has a single compartment but is expandable on the sides. An excellent idea for when I return from the British capital with the purchases I’ve made, including vintage items and stalls at the markets. Furthermore, this bag is conscious, made with regenerated materials. Alice Abbiadati, Fashion News Editor
As soon as I can I escape to the family home: overlooking Lake Lugano, in the land of Valsolda, already described in Fogazzaro’s works. There I already have everything I need to spend a weekend having dinners with friends and walking along the slopes. But there is always “something” missing which, without fail, I carefully place in the Le Pliage bag, the iconic Longchamp model. Selene Oliva, Affiliation Content Writer
Paul Smith’s bag for a weekend in Venice, on the occasion of the Biennale
Traveling often, always halfway between leisure and work, I have developed an aversion to overly bulky luggage. I much prefer compact bags like this: roomy, practical, versatile and with lots of pockets to better organize your things. Perfect for slipping into the busiest trains, to put under the plane seat (get this, overbooking!), to skip the check-in queues. And then for houses, books, cars, travel, newspapers. Personally I can’t wait to use it in Venice, to visit the Biennale: it’s ideal for a long weekend full of exploration and a fast pace. Paolo Armelli, Lifestyle Contributor
The Miu Miu bag for a weekend on the French Riviera
I was traumatized by backpacks when I was a scout, I was very small and they made me walk for kilometers with this approved bag that was sometimes bigger than me. For this reason I prefer to throw everything into huge bags, whether to leave for a few days’ trip to the Côte d’Azur (as I will do shortly), but also just to put a few books in and go read them in the park near home, finding forgotten objects, letters from ex-boyfriends, lipsticks that have gone bad or voter ID cards that have been redone several times. I chose to entrust my life to chance and the chaos of my bag. Francesca Faccani, Lifestyle & News Editor
The Polo Ralph Lauren bag for a weekend at the seaside in Liguria
I’m a big fan of weekends away, especially those by the sea, where I can unplug from the hectic life of Milan. My favorite destination is Liguria, because that’s where I relax with my old friends. On these occasions I decide to use a perfect bag for holidays of a few days, a roomy but at the same time practical accessory, simple but elegant as I like it, in canvas but with leather finishes. Rachele Guidotti, Brand Editorial Entry Support Intern
The adidas bag for a weekend across the border
The most faithful travel companion, for me, will always be the adidas bag. It is spacious, divided into compartments and also has a shoulder strap. I don’t think there is anything more convenient for weekends across the border, when you want to reach the French Riviera or the Swiss Alps by car. Valentina Abate, Fashion News Associate
Freitag’s bag for a weekend on the Borromean Islands
Pre-loved and from a brand famous for making recycling cool: I choose the Freitag travel bag to purchase on Vestiaire Collective. It is indestructible because it was created with disused truck tarpaulins and who knows how many kilometers he will have already traveled in his two previous lives, the first on the truck and the second in the arms of another person. The destination? I’ve been dreaming of an escape to the Borromean Islands for a long time. Elisa Pervinca Bellini, Senior Fashion News & Sustainability Editor
The North Face bag to go anywhere
If I think of the perfect combination of bag + destination of the heart, then I return to Vietnam in 2015, when the indestructible bag from The North Face literally accompanied me throughout the entire journey, even resisting the knives bought at the Hanoi market with which I had carried it stuffed on the way back. If it weren’t for him, I probably wouldn’t be able to cut vegetables with such skill today. Giorgia Genocchio, Art Production Designer
