This post is a personal recommendation but you should know that pictures linking to the bag are affiliates. If you click and purchase it costs you nothing and I may get a few pennies for yarn.
I think for me the perfect travel bag has been found. I wanted something to get me through airports easily and hold my tablet and camera. Finding a crossbody bag to hold a tablet is easy but finding one with enough depth for a camera with room for wallet, keys and other necessities is a lot harder.
I bought the color nutmeg with a turquoise lining of this bag sold by Tavelon on Amazon. The color is just enough of a blend of gray and brown to go with everything. The lining is bright enough that things are easy to find.
The camera I travel with (Nikon Coolpix P500) fits in the main compartment. My tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A) goes into the back pocket. Two outer side pockets unzip to expand to hold drink bottles. A front zippered pocket can hold my phone and the small memo pad I carry to keep my shopping list handy. The front pocket and main compartment have zipper locks. A small clip on the inside of the main part can keep your keys handy and has a little button flashlight in case you need it. If you are very security conscious there are RFID blocking pockets for your passport and credit cards. I have used my new bag for about 2 weeks now and the strap is wide enough to be comfortable and is supposed to be slash resistant.
I have some summer travel coming up so by Labor Day I will have given this bag a pretty good trial period. I hope is holds up well. If I remember, I may post another bit about how well it did later in the fall.
My issue with this purchase and I do have one is not with the bag but with shipping. The shipping was quick and free but what the hell did the carrier (UPS) do to this box on its journey to me? The box was pretty much held closed by a few threads in the packing tape.Back with more again soon. Take care and stay cozy!
UPDATE- After tweeting this blog post UPS customer service reached out to me to ask if there was anything I wanted to contact them about. I was surprised and impressed!
I'm really sorry to see the package arrived like this. Were any of the contents missing or damaged? Please send us a DM if you have any questions about this or if there are damages. Include the tracking number, delivery address, and your phone number. ^DK https://t.co/wKJHDXWGRQ
