Travel Bags & Pouches

What are the best bags to travel with?

While there are many types of travel bags to choose from, the best bags to travel with should be spacious, lightweight, durable, and functional. For example, The Weekender bag by Rothy’s is made from high-quality, sustainable materials that’ll withstand the wear and tear of travel, featuring various compartments and zippers to keep your belongings secure. The Zip Travel Tote also features an exterior zip pocket that holds your phone, cards and keys, or you can opt for the Phone Crossbody for something smaller that’ll keep your phone more easily accessible. Our accessories, including travel bags for women and men, are thoroughly tested to ensure their durability and determine their weight capacity. We also guarantee your duffel bag retains its color and shape after every wash.

Which travel bag size is best?

Which travel bag size is best for you ultimately depends on your length of travel and travel plans. For instance, say you’re going on a one-week backpacking trip; you won’t be able to carry a large rolling suitcase. On the other hand, if you’re flying to your destination for a weekend getaway, a carry-on sized duffel bag with a travel purse or personal item is the best choice. The Weekender and The Travel Duffel are designed to fit in the overhead compartment of most major airlines, making them an excellent choice for air travel.

What size travel bag do you need for a week?

The ideal travel bag for a week-long trip will be able to hold enough clothes for 7-9 days. If you can pack light, medium-sized carry-on luggage may be a good option. However, if you prefer to opt for multiple outfits a day, or if you want to pack multiple pairs of shoes for travel, you may require a much larger travel bag or have to organize your suitcase with a few small accessories such as pouches and packing cubes. You can also pair your travel bag with a backpack or purse as a personal item to maximize your space.

Should you travel with hard or soft travel bags?

Whether you travel with a hard or soft travel bag depends on your personal preference. Both bags have advantages and limitations, so compare the two options closely before making a decision. Most soft-sided luggage is designed with fabric that may stain easily - but all Rothy’s products are machine washable so you don’t have to worry about scuffs or stains with our bags. They’re also flexible and lightweight and can be compressed which is great when space is limited. In contrast, hard-shell luggage is made with durable plastic or aluminum, a strong contender for keeping valuables safe while traveling for work, but they also are more susceptible to scuffs and scratches.

Which color is best for luggage?

Many people tend to gravitate towards darker colors when selecting luggage to minimize the appearance of stains. However, you don’t have to worry about that with travel bags from Rothy’s. Our travel bags are machine washable, so all you have to do is place the bag into the washing machine and clean with cold water and mild detergent on a delicate cycle. Rothy’s travel bags come in a variety of patterns and colors, such as blue, black, red, brown and more to suit any style.
