Women

What really sets a women's bag apart

The difference isn't the colour but three concrete details: shorter straps, a volume that is often more compact, and a structure that holds its shape once the bag is put down. The rest - capacity, material, closure - follows the same rules as anywhere else.

The women's travel bag range brings together hold and cabin sizes, women's backpacks those worn on the back.

The right volume for the length of the trip

20 to 30 litres cover two nights, 40 to 55 litres a week. Beyond that, the full bag becomes heavy to carry by hand: better to move to a women's wheeled holdall. For a return trip, women’s weekend bag offers just the right size.

The backpack, to keep your hands free

As soon as there are stairs, connections or a child to hold, the backpack wins out. A women's small backpack is enough for the day; a women's laptop backpack for the office protects the machine with a padded, raised compartment.

Wash bags and vanity cases

A women's wash bag with a waterproof lining stops a leaking bottle from reaching your clothes. For make-up, travel make-up bag keeps brushes upright, and hard vanity cases protects palettes that crack when laid flat.

To compare sizes, our women's travel wash bags range from the hanging Oxford bag to the make-up bag with a brush compartment.
