Cruiseoholic000 Posted February 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I was wondering if anyone could recommend a tote that has back slit that slide over your luggage handle? I will be using it for my flight. I would also like it to become compact as to store it in my luggage when I am not using it on the cruise.

lola2013 Posted February 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Try Tumi...I was just on their website and it is a nice-looking tote. Comes in about 6 colors/patterns. It folds flat and then also has the over the handle feature that you are looking for. $95. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted February 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2016 My Briggs & Riley shopping tote does, so do many Tumi options. None of my most lightweight nylon options (LeSportSac) do - that's too much structure:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted February 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 2, 2016 http://www.ebags.com/product/ebags/savvy-laptop-tote/88831?productid=1319528 Ebags has quite a few options - I don't have this bag but own other ebags products (and I've bought other brands from their site too) and find the quality quite good, and the prices very reasonable. (I love B&R and Tumi but recognize they tend to be a higher price range you might not want - but you didn't give a budget, so... :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted February 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Vera Bradley has several in prints & solids, 3 different sizes. I got one at outlet store at 50% off & 10% military discount. Total cost was $28. I use it as my gym bag when I'm not traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted February 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I really like this Lipault weekend tote: http://www.ebags.com/product/lipault/19-weekend-tote/266541 It's very lightweight, foldable, has the feature so you can slip it over a suitcase handle, and holds a fair amount. (My only problem is not overpacking it so that it's not crazy heavy if I have to carry it....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 2, 2016 E-bags, Amazon, Vera Bradley, Baggallini may have one........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted February 3, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think it is a good idea to check the size limits of the airline you are flying. Personal bags sizes can be vague and enforcement spotty but if know the policy you will have no surprises at the airport. Here are a few: Air Canada: 17 x 13 x 6″ American: 36 total inches (length + width + height) Spirit: 16 x 14 x 12″ United: 17 x 10 x 9″ Lufthansa: 15 x 12 x 4″ Shak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW Traveler Posted February 3, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I have an Eagle Creek bag that works well for me, is expandable, and fits easily under an airline seat. The back side of the bag has a special wide opening that fits over a luggage handle. The fit is secure and won't shift out of place as I maneuver my luggage through the airport. My Eagle Creek bag and 21 inch carry-on two wheeled suitcase have been all over the world. Whatever bag you choose, find one that works for you and is versatile for all types of travel.

Gallivanting Souls Posted February 6, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A friend told me to check Ross, Marshalls, and Burlington. I know those stores have luggage, I am sure they have the type of bag you are looking for. I am looking for the same type of bag as well. I have even considered having a friend sew one for me. There are tons of patterns out there. I am not sure if it will be any less to sew one, but you sure do have more choice of patterns/colors. Good luck!

Hoyaheel Posted February 6, 2016 #14 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I have an Eagle Creek bag that works well for me, What kind of EC bag? (I have a bit of an eagle creek addiction - I think between me and my husband we have ~8 different types:p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted February 6, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 6, 2016 A bungee cord works for me ;) I always have a little bungee in my daypack - it works just fine when I don't feel like carrying it and want to hook it to my roller (if I have it with me)...

mollymom53 Posted February 7, 2016 #16 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have three Baggallini totes that can slip over the handle of a carry on. That is a great feature and I don't think I'd buy another tote without it. Check ebay, ebags, and the Baggallini website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surrealistic Posted February 7, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I just bought this bag yesterday at the outlets. Fits perfectly over the suitcase, is lightweight, and looks like it will hold a lot. Enjoy your cruise.http://www.verabradley.com/product/weekender-travel-bag/midnight-blues/1001684_178798.uts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would be a snap to sew a flap over the back of a Vera Bradley that would enable you to slide it over the handle of your rolling bag. The soft, quilted fabric weighs nothing and would take five minutes to cut and sew such a flap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted February 8, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've had loads of different ones over the years, and I finally found one I love. Not only does it have the sleeve to slide over luggage handles, it also has wheels in case you want to pull it by itself. It is lightweight, and holds a deceptively large amount of items. It has removable pouches inside, so you can adjust it to fit your needs. It has waterproof compartments. It's small enough to fit under the seat in front of you if you don't want to use the overhead compartment. I love this bag!! Regarding the price, Amazon pricing fluctuates so much. I bought mine just a few months ago for $79. Link: Samsonite Wheeled Underseater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted February 9, 2016 #25 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nice bag but looks heavy I was worried about that when I ordered it, but it isn't at all. Samsonite knows what they are doing in this field. I used this to travel to 6 different airports in 24 hours (ugh!), and it was a godsend. Best money I've ever spent on any luggage.
