11 best travel purses and bags for your next trip in 2022

Be it a beach bag, a hiking pack or a crossbody for a cross-country adventure, every traveler needs a tote to match their luggage.

Or, more specifically, a travel bag that fits the needs of the traveler and the type of trip. There is nothing worse that not having the right things when on vacation, and that includes a bag that is too bulky to lug around the resort, or too small to hold the necessities.

The only thing worse is getting your bag stolen or being pick-pocketed. That’s why our list below has theft-proof bags as well as a variety of other vacation-ready packs, helping to keep your belongings safe so you can enjoy your time off.

Read on for an assortment of TSA-approved, travel-ready purses and bags that will have you ready to stamp your passport or hit the road for Spring and Summer 2022.
