Travel Tote Bags

A travel tote bag is basically a tote bag with wheels. A tote bag is just about the simplest design of bag you can buy. The usually have one large pocket with short handles and some kind of fastening. Travel tote bags have all of this as well as an extending handle and wheels to make travelling easier.

Travel tote bags are large enough to fit in lots of luggage. They are ideal to use as carry on luggage when boarding a plane, although some are even too large for this and would have to be classed as a suitcase. Travel totes are also sometimes known as trolley totes or rolling totes.

Some travel totes do not have wheels but are still classified as travel totes due to the amount of storage it provides. They have a lot of pockets, both inside and outside the tote and fit snugly in overhead lockers on planes, despite their bulky appearance.

Travel totes are easy to carry, even when full of luggage. Their short handles help you to maintain control of a heavy weight and the bag’s long width means the weight is distributed evenly to prevent putting too much strain on one side of your body. Having said that, it is still recommended that you change which side you carry your bag on from time to time to ensure you do not damage your body by putting too much weight on one side of your body.

Fashionable bag designer Kipling has come up with its own travel tote. The Kipling Genya Travel Tote is available in brown or black and has a removable shoulder strap to give you even more options of ways to carry the bag. The bag is made from crinkle Nylon with leather detailing and has three large zipped compartments inside the bag as well as a large open front pocket. It also has a small pocket inside for your mobile phone, a pocket for your I-Pod and two pen pockets. As well as the extra shoulder strap, there is also a trolley strap which allows you to transport your tote via trolley as it slips easily over the handle. This means you do not take up valuable trolley space which is needed for your suitcases.
