All of the major luggage companies are now making tote bags with wheels! Since we spend a lot of time at airports, bus terminals, train stations and cruise line piers, rolling tote bags really come in handy. They will fit under your airplane seat or above on buses. They are small enough that they conform to international carryon requirements. These tote bags also fit in the smallest of airplanes. They’ll carry all of our travel accessories, tickets, jewelry, medications, the travel umbrella and everything else we must have with us. The prettiest models available have to be the Vera Bradley tapestries and the Boyt Edge collection. The Vera Bradley rolling tote is made of abrasion-tested, tightly woven micro Polycord and is coated with DuPont Teflon to repel moisture and stains.
