Shoulder Bags with Luggage Trolley Strap

A backpack is comfortable to carry, but it doesn't always suit your outfit, the meeting after you land or an evening out. A shoulder bag with a trolley sleeve gives you both: on the way it rides on your suitcase like a backpack with a trolley strap, and when you arrive it's a regular handbag that looks good. It also opens fully at the top, so it's easy to take out a laptop at security or on the plane without taking anything off your back.

Pull the suitcase handle up all the way, slide it through the sleeve on the back of the bag and lower the bag until it rests on the suitcase. Close the zipper before you set off and keep heavy items like the laptop on the side closest to the handle, so the bag stays steady around corners. When you want it back on your shoulder, lift it off the handle.

A padded laptop compartment that keeps the computer upright and apart from everything else, a zipper that closes the whole opening, an outside pocket for your passport and phone, and padded handles that don't dig into your shoulder. Annecy, for example, is a padded 20-liter tote with a divider for up to a 14-inch laptop, a quick-access front pocket, side bottle pockets and water-repellent fabric, in 6 colors. Marbella is a tennis bag with a sleeve for up to a 16-inch laptop, a racket compartment and a shoe compartment, and it rides on the trolley handle too.
