@Trudey and @World Traveler

At first I was sad about returning my mini PJ for a refund and wishing I had asked for a replacement instead.  Then, I went to read the reviews.  Saw a couple reviewers that said they were having problems with the zippers on the watercolor pearl bag they ordered but not on the other bags they ordered.  Hmmmm, interesting.  Was almost ready to order another one in the watercolor pearl but now I won't.  Kind of glad I didn't place that order afer all.

@JudyL Interesting, because is that the color you had? Wonder if it is only the watercolor pearl bags. That would be strange, indeed!

I see Lug is on right now with a whole hour show, I guess.

@JudyL I have the eco pouches they are showing this hour. Love them! Great for taking to the store and insulated, clean up well if I spill something inside them, lightweight, and fun to show off at the check-out counter. Ha!

I just leave them in the car for whenever I might use them. But they are lightweight enough, large enough when unfolded, that they would be great to stick in the corner of the suitcase and pull out if I am traveling and need to carry stuff back to the hotel room. They wad up into a very small size.

Yep, I had the watercolor pearl.  I have always loved that pattern.

@nyc1 I use the little pockets for my inhaler, hand sanitizer, vitamins (I take 3/day and put them in a llittle tin to take to work with me), keys, lipstick/balm, feminine products when needed...these are my small necessities.

It's the perfect bag for under-the-seat air travel.  I can't take this one to work though since it's not big enough to hold my laptop.  I use the regular size PJ (black) for work.  The mini is for fun, weekends, church, excursions, etc (i.e anything BUT work).  I love both bags.  I wish I'd gotten my mini at such a good price.  But in any event, it's been worth it.  I enjoy carrying mine (navy dot).

@indiepup@World Traveler  The other day QVC offered the regular PJ and a Packable (F12670) for $84.  I grabbed the Black which came with a red and white poka dot packable,  based on both of your recommendations.  I love my Ace, but am always willing to give something else a try.  I thought the $84 price was a good opportunity, so it's on the way....  shipped yesterday.  Thanks.

@nyc1  I have the same PJ set you ordered but a different color.  I love it!  Used it last Fall when I went to England.  Let us know how you like it.

@nyc1 I received my berry PJ with the watercolor pearl packable. I ordered the PJ as my new gym bag. I love that it stands up next to the treadmill, and the separate section for my running shoes is exactly what I wanted. The side pockets hold my Blender Bottle so that I can carry my ketones, and the non-slip handle is great. The color makes me happy before going to the gym, so I'm glad I didn't get a more neutral color. Looking forward to using this bag for an upcoming trip to Point Reyes National Seashore for a sort of staycation. I need to go hiking and smell the ocean! Enjoy yours!

@JudyL  Both my mini puddle jumper and Tandem 2 in the Flamingo print have no zipper problems. All of the zippers glide smoothly with no dips or catches.  I have a friend who got the Tandem 2 in brushed walnut and her zipper dips and doesn't work smoothly.  Lug really needs to correct the zipper issue because there are many complaints.  I'm sorry your's didn't work out

To add to my travel bags collection, I just ordered the Lug Flyer.  We have a couple of trips planned that include going to casinos and I think this may be a perfect small bag.  I like that there are card slots inside the rfid protection, so no need for a wallet.

@Trudey that purse looks like it'll be perfect!  I have a small crossbody purse from LUG - can't remember the name at the moment - that I use when I don't want to use my regular purse and really like it.
