Looking for Travel Purse suggestions

Looks like it's time to retire the old travel purse.  The back side is even worse.  I really liked it since it was just big enough for the essentals with 3 inside sections plus some zippered pockets on front and one on back, but it was small enought to pack inside my small carry-on since it was too small for my computer.  That way I could carry my computer in one bag and my carry-on and fit within the guidelines (even though all three bags could fit underneath my seat).  Plus, it only cost me $16.

Thats no purse for a goddess.  Perhaps you'd like some of the Lug bags?  Lots of organization, lightweight and no peeling.

Have you looked at LeSportsac?  They have a lot of purses that fit your criteria; rip stop nylon and very light weight plus washable and wear like iron.

Baggallini has some great bags and a lot of them have RFID protection. Check out their website because they have some great sales.

@Kachina624 I have looked at Lug in the past and will look at them again; but, the nice thing about this bag is that it fits flat against the body.  The Lugs I remember were a bit bulky with pockets that stick out.  I was actually able to board with the three bags by wearing my cross-body bag under my ski jacket and then pusing it to the back so it wasn't showing since it was so flat.

Thanks @patbz @VenturaHighway.  I'm writing these down and will look into them.

@Icegoddess :  I buy more LeSportsac than I should and usually 2nd hand from EBay ( wash them upon receipt and they are like new).

There is a pretty good catalog (online too, of course) of various items to make life easier while travelling.  It is "Magellan's."  Have you ever seen it?  I'm sure they have a good selections of travel purses.

Travelon makes functional, RFID bags with straps that resist being cut. The QVC search bar should bring them up. Some are similar in style to this bag.
