Vol. 43: A 3-Night, 4-Day Travel Bag
YusukeFollowing last year's selection of a 1-night, 2-day bag,Futen Bagthis time I've chosen bags for a 3-night, 4-day trip.
A 3-night, 4-day trip often involves international business travel, but sometimes it's for domestic trips. The issue arises with train travel, like the Shinkansen. A suitcase can be cumbersome to store, andTrolleydragging a trolley bag across a train platform can be quite a hassle. Boarding and alighting the Shinkansen is much smoother and more stylish with a handheld bag, so I tend to opt for that.
The Berluti Boston bag I'm holding in the photo is convenient because its front and back pockets allow for easy access to small items. The Tom Ford bag combines the ease of a tote with ample capacity. For a 3-night, 4-day trip, I'd want to pack an extra pair of shoes, so this level of storage is essential.
With the ideal bag ready, I'm feeling the urge to travel again soon (and perhaps for reasons other than work this time!).
