8 Stylish Shoulder Bags for Travel

1. Best Travel Shoulder Bag

For the ultimate travel purse, you can't beat the Lo & Sons O.G. bag. Why does this bag nab our top spot? One word: organization. It's easy to lose and/or misplace things in the hustle and bustle of train stations, bus stations, and airports. Having a bag that's equipped with a spot for anything is the easiest way to keep everything, including your sanity, in check. Inside its sturdy yet lightweight nylon exterior this bag has plenty of pockets (including a padded laptop sleeve), a front zipper pocket for further organization, a side pocket perfect for storing an extra pair of shoes or an umbrella, a key leash, and a suitcase handle sleeve to seamlessly slip this bag over your carry on handle for easy maneuvering. Once you pick your favorite of the O.G.'s two sizes and nine colors, you'll wonder how you every traveled without it.
