5 Parker Clay Bags I Can't Travel Without
The 5 Parker Clay Bags I Can't Travel Without
Trust me when I tell you that I don’t take a trip without these bags.
I mean, I’m not trying to be dramatic or anything, but like, I literally can’t go anywhere without them. They keep me organized and efficient while I’m on the go, whether it’s by plain, train or automobile.
Now, if you’ve been around here for a bit, I’m sure you probably know by now that my love for Parker Clay bags runs deep. Not only are they well-crafted, timeless and classic pieces that get better as they age and last forever, they’re also creating a huge impact in the lives of the artisans crafting them. It’s really just a win-win all around when you get a Parker Clay bag. And, of course, their travel bags are no exception.
Below, I’m sharing more details about why their travel bags are my favorite travel bags, how exactly I use them for efficient packing and traveling and the specific 5 Parker Clay bags (+ a bonus one!) that I can’t travel without, and, well, let’s be real, why you probably shouldn’t be traveling without them either.

1// MULU MINI CATCHALL for JEWELRY
I have two of these mini mulus; typically I use one for jewelry pouches and the other I’ll use to corral miscellaneous items, such as sunglasses, lip gloss, hair ties, etc, and keep it in my tote bag.
2// MULU CATCHALL for MAKE-UP
This larger mulu catchall I use for my make-up and make-up brushes….I love that it’s big enough to hold everything (and I do mean everything!) I need and even has side pouches for smaller items such as tweezers.
3// ENTOTO ZIP TOTE for A CARRY-ALL CARRY-ON
Truly I can’t live without this bag for trips! It holds so much (I sometimes joke that it’s holding my life because that’s how much it has space for! haha) and I love that it zips up to keep everything inside nice and safe. If I’m flying I use this as my carry-on bag, if we’re taking a road trip I’ll use this as a personal bag for my mulu pouches, smaller bags and other miscellaneous items. Sometimes it’s also my computer bag, or it will hold our entertainment items (i.e. books, journal, coloring pencils), sometimes it even comes in clutch as a snack bag. It really is just the bag that carries it all.
P.S. A few other Parker Clay zip tote options to check out are the Taytu Weekender Bag, the Merkato Signature Zip Tote and the Eden Carryall.
4// DESTA BELT BAG for OUTDOOR TRIPS
I love that this holds all the necessities in a convenient and compact bag that’s easy to wear when hiking and being active and on-the-go; I tend to reach for this on trips where I know most of our time is going to be spent hiking and outdoors, but I’ll also reach for it for on-the-go trips, too.
OR
DESET CROSSBODY or CITY CROSSBODY for CITY TRIPS
Great for walking around all day, holds the essentials and then some, but my favorite part about it (and why I love it so much for travel) is that it can be worn casually or dressy and can easily go from day-to-night all while looking chic and keeping your hands free.
5// TIGI CARD WALLET for ID + CARDS
The smallest wallet there ever was! And yet, it holds so many card! I always keep my cards, ID, metro card (if I’m in NY) and any other cards I need in this slim and lightweight wallet. Then it’s easy to toss it into whatever bag I’m using, or my tote for easy access while flying, or I’ll even just take the card wallet itself if I’m going out on something like a quick coffee run or a walk.
BONUS// OMO OVERNIGHT BAG for OVERNIGHT TRIPS
If I need a carry-on bag or just an overnight bag, this is the bag I reach for. It’s compact yet still holds everything I need. Fun fact- this was also my very first Parker Clay bag and the very bag that made me fall in love with the brand, their products, their mission and all that they do!
