When I saw this bag in Debenhams a couple of years ago I was smitten straight away. Not only is it a composite of my absolutely favourite colours, but it is a good size for hand luggage and was under £20 (£19.99 to be precise). I didn't really need to think about it for too long and soon enough had another bag to add to my collection. However, this one has had more use than any of my others because I often have to go away for work and also take a lot of trips to Europe on budget airlines that charge more for checking in a bag.

So what makes this a good bag for hand luggage? Well firstly it's massive, it has a 25 litre capacity, even with all of my weekend stuff in it, I could still fit a small handbag and a couple of bottles of water. When I get to the airport I'm not one for shopping, but I'm sure you could fit all of your duty free purchases in here in addition to your belongings. I do however like to buy a couple of bottles of water and a few snacks for the journey and there was plenty of room in this bag for those.

The downside of this bag is (as the previous reviewer also states) that there are no internal pockets to separate your belongings with. But just as the previous reviewer states I often just put a small handbag inside the bag that I can get out on arrival at my destination. To counter this downside this bag comes with a 5 year money back guarantee, which I have yet to have to use. I always find this sort of guarantee reassuring because you know that the bag is made of good quality, and so despite being able to pick up hand luggage style bags for a couple of quid in the cheaper shops, I find this to be a false economy because they often break within a few uses.

All in all , if you can find this bag I would recommend buying it, because it has everything you need in a piece of luggage!
