My favorite travel purse right now is a backpack. It’s also a tote and a crossbody bag. Plus, it was on sale.  I’ll admit – I’m usually not the backpack around town kind of gal.  My version of a backpack is the one I strap on back for a day of hiking.

But while in Henri Bendel recently, I was drawn to the Jetsetter Mini Convertible Grommet Backpack.  Guess it was the red color and gold grommets that got me.  Within a month the bag has already traveled to South Carolina, the Bahamas, Galveston, and been used on days when I’m not traveling.  I’m in LOVE with this bag.

It’s durable to handle my many plane rides and road trips with its water resistant nylon.  Plus since it’s not a structured bag, I can squish it into my carry-on and that’s key for me traveling since you have to hit the 2 bag max when getting on a plane. 

It’s 10.5″Hx11″Wx5″D so it’s roomy and the perfect size to easily fit all my necessities whether I carry it as a backpack, tote, or crossbody.

Looks like the red I got may be sold out but there’s a new version of the Jetsetter Mini Backpack available at Henri Bendel, along with some great new colors including blue and pink.  It’s a perfect marriage of fashion meets function!
