Your perfect leather bag for city trips
No matter the time of year, a city trip is always a great way to spend your free time, either alone or with friends. Whether you're taking a multi-day trip to a city of your choice or just spending an afternoon shopping with friends, you'll always need a few things on hand. You might also buy something new on your city trip. To transport all of this, you'll obviously need a suitable bag or other piece of luggage, like a backpack.
In this blog post, we'll tell you which bag you should use for which type of city trip, and what things you should pack in it to make sure you have everything with you.
The small leather shoulder bag for short trips into the city
If you're just meeting up with friends for coffee in the city or a short stroll...
For a short trip into town, a smaller shoulder bag is usually sufficient, as you don't need to carry as much on such city trips. This type of bag is very practical because you can simply strap it over your shoulder. It doesn't get in the way, and you have your hands free to, for example, take a closer look at a piece of clothing in a store or buy an ice cream or coffee for your stroll through town.
When purchasing your shoulder bag, make sure it offers enough space for your wallet, keys, tissues, and other essentials. It's also always a good idea to carry a bottle of water with you while you're out and about in the city, so you don't have to buy an overpriced drink at a restaurant if you get thirsty.
The FRAN leather shoulder bags in black and the YALE model in brown are good sizes. Both leather bags are from our SID&VAIN brand. These bags can hold all the items mentioned for your city trip, and if you add a small bag, you can also pick up some things in town.
A leather shopper for long shopping days
For extended shopping trips, you'll generally need the same items as for a short city trip. However, for longer shopping trips, you should bring a larger bag so you don't end up carrying 100 extra bags.
The so-called "shopping bag" was designed precisely for this purpose. This sophisticated style of bag is designed to offer you enough space to store as many purchases as possible. Additionally, a large handbag, such as the JUCY leather shopper by BACCINI or the TRISH model by SID&VAIN, looks much better than the bags you find in stores. Don't you agree? You often even have to pay extra for shopping bags in stores these days because they're bad for the environment. So, it's definitely worth owning a shopper for long days of shopping in the city.
Your leather backpack for exploring the city
Have you not only planned a shopping trip, but you would also like to take a closer look at a possibly unknown city and have planned a city trip for this purpose?
Then a backpack is the right choice for you! For longer city explorations, it offers plenty of space for your essentials, while also relieving strain on your back by distributing the weight evenly across both shoulders. Essential items for a full day in the city, such as wallet, drinks, snacks (if needed), and rain gear, can be easily transported in a backpack.
Depending on how much you want to carry, you can either opt for a more compact alternative, like the AURI backpack made of buffalo leather. For more gear, the CHASE canvas backpack is ideal, as it also features practical side pockets for drinks.
A wallet to always have enough money with you
Last but not least, you should always have enough money with you to buy something, because otherwise, a trip into town wouldn't be worth it at all. Right? :D
In addition to a little cash, it's advisable to always keep a debit/credit card and ID in your wallet , especially for longer city trips. A slightly smaller wallet that's ideal for a short city trip is the Hannah wallet made of natural leather. This leather wallet offers enough space for a little cash, your bank cards, and your ID while you're out and about.
However, since we often carry not only the essentials into town, but also numerous loyalty cards, vouchers, etc., a small wallet is usually not sufficient for longer shopping days or city trips. A large wallet, like the LIMA leather wallet from BACCINI, offers plenty of space to keep all the loyalty cards and vouchers from your favorite stores handy at all times.
We wish you a great next city trip and hope you can use some of the tips soon :-D
