I don’t think I’ll be alone in saying this: I struggle with packing! I’m either forgetting something or I’m overpacking – and usually it’s the later! After many trips where I packed way too many purses (or just the wrong ones!), today I’m sharing my top three must-have vacation purses – the ones you can easily pack, work with multiple outfits, and even one bag that pulls double-duty as a carry-on!

must-have vacation purse #1: the (faux) leather carry-all

Up first, we have my favorite carryall bag: this faux brown leather reversible tote by Street Level! This is a classic that can be found at Nordstrom, and I suspect there is a reason it has been for sale in their stores for so very long: it is so versatile! First of all, it comes in both a brown and black version, and both versions are reversible! The bag also easily folds up for packing, which saves a lot of space in your suitcase. Or, you can save even more room by using this roomy tote bag as one of your carry-on pieces!

must-have vacation purse #2: a straw tote bag

I picked up this bag before our last trip to Anna Maria Island, and I fell in love with it! It has a beautiful boho vibe, and is really roomy and lightweight. Some straw bags like this don’t have a lining, so I was particular about that when I was shopping for a straw bag because unlined bags can have pens or other small items fall out of them if a hole develops in the straw. This one is perfect, and it is very thin so it is easy to roll up for packing in my suitcase!

must-have vacation purse #3: a round woven messenger bag

Last, but not least, is this woven rattan bag by Bali Harvest. I chose this as a must-have bag for warm weather vacationing because of it’s sturdiness and versatility. Rattan is easy to pair with lots of different spring and summer outfits, but because this bag is so sturdy and stiff, it won’t get deformed or ruined when packed in my suitcase. Plus, I fill it with my delicates or smaller items like tank tops or a rolled up t-shirt to gain a little extra storage room!
