16 Essentials I Never Forget to Pack For a Trip to Charleston

Aimee Kestenberg Milan Leather Belt Bag ($128)

While you could trek a favorite handbag around the streets of Charleston, I highly recommend bringing a pouch that allows for hands-free movement. Whether you need to hold a shopping bag after strolling through the shops on King Street or you're headed to the beach and lugging a towel, there are so many reasons to opt for a sporty waist bag over a designer purse while you're in this walkable city.
