What Bags Will Fit In My Suitcase?

Packing for spring break can be a challenge—especially when it comes to choosing a bag style that fits in your suitcase.
In this guide, we've compiled bag recommendations that will fit in your luggage, with key measurements and sizing information included.
From small travel bags to totes that lay flat, these are some of the best bag styles for travel.

Spring break is the perfect excuse to trade in your desk chair for a beach chair—and your everyday tote for an iconic, statement-worthy travel companion. Whether you've already booked your flight somewhere far away (and hopefully warm) or you're planning an action-packed road trip across the country, you'll need a bag that easily slides into your suitcase before resuming its typical duties as a stylish, versatile plus-one once you've made it to your destination.

Here, we've compiled a few of our favorite travel-friendly handbag silhouettes that don't skimp on style.

The Mini Bag: The Perfect +1

The supporting act you need for all your statement-worthy spring break styles, mini bags aren't just inherently adorable—they're also incredibly easy to pack inside almost any suitcase or carry-on.

Why Mini Bags Pack Well: Take advantage of your mini bag's compact silhouette and use it as an organizational pouch within your larger tote or suitcase while traveling. Once you arrive, style and restyle your mini bag to express your many selves throughout all your spring break festivities—think brunch with friends, beach town shopping or carrying the essentials on a night out.

Having a hard time choosing just one bag for all your favorite spring break outfits? Convertible bags serve as the perfect middle ground when you're craving different styles, but don't have the space to pack them all in your suitcase.

Why Convertible Bags Pack Well: Instead of trying to cram multiple bags into one carry-on, choose just one convertible bag—many of them transform from shoulder bag to crossbody bag to clutch, thanks to their detachable straps. And don't worry—there are plenty of compact sizes that make packing a breeze.
