A Great Travel Handbag Needs to be Packable, Durable, and Chic

Many of you are probably aware that I’m constantly on the lookout for handbags that travel well. I don’t own this one—yet—but it absolutely fulfills my three basic requirements (style, function, and also durable).

The “Jenna” tote by Beirn is made of watersnake, which is both smoother and more durable than the snakeskin you’re probably familiar with. It’s light, packs flat, and is great looking. In addition, it’s big enough to hold everything you need, has two open and one zip pocket on the inside to keep you organized and your valuables safe, and it has a magnetic snap closure at the top. With a shoulder strap for hands-free carrying, this is a bag I’d be happy to take with me anywhere I go.
