The Personal-Item Bags Our Editors Actually Use to Travel, Starting at $14

Béis The Commuter Duffle ($119, originally $158)

Although we're huge fans of the bestselling Béis Mini Weekender Bag, its Commuter Duffle is a worthy competitor. It has a capacity of 24.2 liters, and comes in a classic black color. The bag is designed for the busybody who's constantly on the go; it has two slip pockets on either side for water bottles or umbrellas and a zipper pocket in the front. Plus, the interior has the perfect blend of spaciousness and organization. Not only is there a padded laptop pocket, but also four elastic pockets (two of which are mesh), as well as a zipper pocket.

This bag maintains is sleek silhouette and crisp look with five metal feet that let it stand on its own. It's made from a water resistant nylon, but it has vegan leather top handles and a padded leather adjustable strap.

• Pros: Stylish design and comes with a key leash.
• Cons: Some would prefer a side-to-side strap.
• Material: Nylon, PU trim, and polyester.
• Dimensions: 12" height x 21.5" width x 9" depth
• Colorways: 1
• Who it's best for: The weekend traveler and everyday commuter.
• Editor Quote: "I love how sleek the bag looks and the fact that its incredibly lightweight. I took it as my plus-one on a recent trip to Sedona and managed to fit everything and more into the accessory — including seven outfits, two pairs of shoes, my toiletry bag, portable steamer, and more." — Kyley Warren, former assistant shopping editor
