As you know, travel is stressful, but providing you with sartorial tips to make the occasion a breeze is kind of one of our MOs. Today, we're focusing on a little something we all take for granted but that, in the hectic planning and packing haze before any trip, can be easy to neglect. In our opinion, it's one of the most crucial accessories when traveling, whether for business or pleasure: your handbag.

Not to bring up any Goldilocks connotations, but handbags for travel can't be too big or too small, should be versatile enough to go with all your outfits (no small feat), need to keep your belongings secure and your hands free, and of course have to be durable enough to withstand planes, trains, and automobiles. With all of this in mind, we scoured the internet, and believe it or not, we found 20 handbags that fit the bill.

Keep scrolling to shop the bags, and we wish you luck in choosing one that suits your destination to a T!
