I am going from Sydney to Dubai then on to London and later to France. I want a light weight bag that I can fit heaps in and maybe wear over the shoulder if need be.
I have a Mono 30 and was thinking of buying a strap, but I am wondering if the Deauville or Sac Souple would be better. Or any others?
Thanks for any advice!:smile: ]]> Louis Vuitton Bags Ms. Mono Gram http://www.thebagforum.com/louis-vuitton-bags/23005-hi-any-advice-best-bag-travel-thanks.html Tips for Packing Your Luggage Lighter http://www.thebagforum.com/handbag-discussion/23004-tips-packing-your-luggage-lighter.html Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:32:53 GMT A good traveler's goal is to carry the bare essentials and leave the excess at home. Also no one ever came back from vacation saying that "I wish my bags had been heavier”. Here are few tips to pack your luggage lighter.

1) Check temperatures and events at your destination: Only pack what corresponds and do not bring "just in case" clothes.

2) Wear your heaviest shoes, sweater, and jacket. That way, you don't have to pack them.

3) The numbers game: A good rule of thumb for trips less than one week is one shirt per day, one layering jacket or sweater, one bottom per every two days (but never less than two pairs of pants), no more than two pairs of shoes (one you wear and one you pack), underwear for every day, and seasonal additions, like a bathing suit.

4) Wash it out: If you're traveling for more than a week, follow the same numbers as above and plan on washing clothes instead of bringing more.

Also traveling to your destinations is one of the most adventures trip to everyone. In addition, travel in style with a 2-Pc Expandable Rockland luggage set. Two Carry-on Pieces included in one set. These bags are lightweight, expandable, fully lined, and have heavy duty in-line jumbo wheels and you'll love it. ]]> Handbag Discussion leezacooper http://www.thebagforum.com/handbag-discussion/23004-tips-packing-your-luggage-lighter.html Made in the USA http://www.thebagforum.com/handbag-discussion/23000-made-usa.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:12:25 GMT There are beautiful crafted handbags that are made right here in the U.S. If you know of any more, please share them with us!

So far this site has given me a lot of insight on bags and such.
I just dont understand why some of the posts are so old and not refreshing new ones?

I only get to enjoy them when I go pick up the bags in the boutiques to pretend their mine and have my boyfriend yelll at me.

SOOO...I wanted to know what you all think on this bag.

I need to know what you guys think and I need a lot of opinions. I did a real bad thing and bought it before I could authenticate it. I have sent the person from Ebay many messages asking for a serial number and a card. If this bag is fake...its getting returned ASAP and I will report the person.

Have just bought my first vintage chanel bag from Yoogi Closet and I was reading up on the zippers of Chanels.

Realize that those of the bag are plain zippers.

Can someone please help me to authenticate the bag.

I'm definitely a Louis Vuitton girl and I always will be. Just last week I was at the Neiman Marcus here in Fort Lauderdale, FL at the Galleria Mall. I was looking at the Prada "Parabole", which I'm absolutely in love with, and the Sales Associate was telling me all about the bag. I remember, I kept saying to him "But I'm a Louis girl, it's hard to cheat". He then told me Chanel girls like Celine. Louis Vuitton girls like Prada. Michael Kors girls like Kate Spade. Not sue how much I believe in that because I like anything that's cute. If it fits my style I'll most likely love it regardless of the brand!

I didn't end up ordering the Prada "Parabole" because I purchased a bag last month! The Louis Vuitton Damier Speedy 30 "Bandouliere" and I've used it almost everyday since I've had it. I've always wanted a Damier Speedy 30 and when I realized about two months later that the bag had came out with the strap making it now the "Bandouliere" and I convinced myself that I has to have it!

The strap that the bag comes with comes in so much handy! When I'm shopping or out and about, I use the strap and the purse hangs as if it were a shoulder bag. I love that I can fit so much in the bag and it's simply beautiful. This is the third Speedy in my collection and I can't wait to get more! It's truly the best bag ever and I highly recommend it! I promise you won't be disappointed!

I always hear the saying, "Less is more" in Acting School and I have to say that sometimes I believe it! I love looking and feeling glamorous but sometimes I think I look prettiest with less of everything. The Chloe "Lucy" Medium Shoulder Bag reminded me of the quote from above. It's one of the simplest bags I've fallen in love with, and it's definitely one of the most classiest. As I always have to mention, the color and the hardware are to die for. Gold and navy look so beautiful together and kind of gives off that Sailor look.

The price may be on the high side but you can't deny that this piece is drop dead gorgeous. Absolutely, certainly and positively in love with this bag! Retails for $2995.

This bag is drop dead gorgeous and it's simply because of the color combination. This shade of blue green is drop dead gorgeous and looks even more beautiful when it's paired up with white. The two colors really pop together making it such an elegant color combination. I kid you not, I would use this bag non-stop it I owned it. I love the structure of it and it would make a great tote for me to bring to school. I could put my notebooks in it and use it as a purse at the same time!

"Evalyn" is a perfect bag to carry around this Summer! The colors scream Summer and the bag would look great when you are wearing any sort of pastel color. I'm in love and I want this bag! My birthday is coming up on August 6th and boy would this be a beautiful gift to get! I think I should keep dreaming.

Available at Neiman Marcus for $458.
