Journey is the perfect travel companion for all those great travel getaways. This soft sided, lightweight yet stylish bag offers many great features for your travelling requirements. There are two exterior pockets, one on the front and one on the back with a domed snap for quick closure. The front pocket features a hidden zippered pocket that can be lined with RFID fabric, helping to keep your passports and personal information safe. The back pocket has a dual feature of being a full pocket or has the ability to unzip giving you a trolley sleeve for easy transportation while pulling other luggage. Along with the front and back pockets, there is also an exterior zippered pocket which gives you easy access to cell phones or sunglasses. The shoulder straps have a 10” drop, and the wide crossbody strap is adjustable, and can be removed.
The interior has two large vinyl or leather trimmed zipper pockets on the side, large enough to hold a small tablet, two elastic pockets on the end for shoes or water bottles, and your keys will be secured with the key fob, near the opening.
This bag is lightweight with multiple design capabilities, from carry-on, to weekender, to beach bag, or even a diaper bag. Whatever way you choose to make your bag, you will find the possibilities are endless.
