Sling bags
Sling bags come in all different colors and sizes. They’re a must-have vacation essential for both active days when you’re exploring nature and hiking, and slower days when you’re enjoying long walks in the city. A great sling bag is slim, not bulky; fits comfortably around your shoulder; and has an easy, causal look.
Crossbody bags
Crossbody bags are practical, versatile, sleek, and ideal for busy days on the go. They keep you hands-free whether you’re riding a bike or exploring a new museum, and can be styled multiple ways. Plus, these bags from brands like Coach, AllSaints, and Marc Jacobs are stylish enough to be worn out to dinner and in other more formal settings, too.
Handbags
Nordstrom’s annual sale is the perfect time to find your new favorite everyday bag, or a statement piece to bring to destination weddings and other special occasions. The handbags below come with room for the essentials—your wallet, phone, hand sanitizer, a pair of sunglasses—but not much else, which means they’ll encourage you to pack light. There’s a variety of styles on sale, from artsy clutches to fun metallic bags.
Backpacks
A good backpack is a traveler must-have. These styles have front or side compartments for storing your phone or wallet and offer plenty of room inside for a laptop, snacks, and maybe even a change of clothes. We’re especially eyeing the discounted backpacks from Free People, Aimee Kestenberg, and Herschel Supply Co.
Tote bags
Everyone needs a trustworthy, durable tote bag that fits absolutely all of their plane must-haves—wallet, water bottle, books, and skincare products, to name a few. These are the bags you’ll use again and again on just about every trip. With sales from Mali and Lili, Tumi, and Longchamp, there are plenty of great options—including the perfect business trip tote that’s functional yet chic.
Duffels
An ideal duffel is roomy enough to carry your essentials, but still lightweight enough that you won’t be weighed down when trying to catch your connecting flight or carry it onto a train. You want a weekender that will last, and luckily there are tons of durable, water-repellent options on sale that just happen to be easy to clean, too.
Luggage
Suitcases go through a lot of wear and tear, whether it’s stowed in the overhead bin on your flight or bumping along the baggage carousel. Enjoy savings from trusted brands like Tumi and Vacay, with your picks of expandable suitcases, vibrant carry-ons, and scratch-resistant checked luggage.
