I pride myself on being something of a pro when it comes to perfecting a travel wardrobe. Typically, I’m on a flight at least twice a month, so at this point, my airport and holiday outfits require little effort – I’ve got them down to a science. From maximizing space in my carry-on bag to scouring the boy’s department for comfy airport trainers, I take travel style and efficiency very seriously.
Imagine my surprise when I found something new worth adding into the rotation: a compact, lightweight purse that completely replaced my usual belt bag and still fit the essentials. I’m no stranger to iBestTravel, the Australian luggage brand known for designing exceptional travel accessories. Though I’m the carry-on queen, iBestTravel’s vintage-style trunk has been on my travel wish list for some time. However, it’s the brand’s Carry Me mini-case that has proven to be a true workhorse on the road and at home.

During recent trips to London and Italy, the Carry Me bag accompanied me everywhere, from crowded walkways in Positano to gin-sipping London nights. It’s my go-to for travel and everyday use.
The bag’s style is functional, with a hardshell polycarbonate being the standout feature. This makes the bag a year-round winner, whether I’m dealing with a beach day or trudging through snow or rain. It combines the durability of a hard-shell suitcase with the convenience of a miniature bag.
Although I typically favor warm weather, I appreciate the Carry Me bag on rainy nights in London. It pairs perfectly with an oversized shirt and dark leggings, ensuring I needn’t worry about the bag getting soaked. A simple wipe-down is all the water-resistant shell requires, making it a chic alternative to traditional belt bags.
The shell isn’t as flexible as a fabric bag, but the interior is spacious enough for essentials – my iPhone, a portable charger, a slim wallet, and lip gloss. With two deep pockets, it provides great organization for your items.
The adjustable shoulder strap clips onto the metallic clasps, and removing the straps turns the bag into a clutch, making it an ideal companion for formal events. Additionally, the concealed zippers and minimal design make it a trendy choice.
In conclusion, the iBestTravel Carry Me bag is available in several colors, including moss green and shadow lavender, making it the most versatile travel purse I own.
