Ellington Annie Convertible Tote – WanderGear Wednesday

| POSTED IN:> Gear

Annie Convertible Tote from EllingtonI love my Ellington Annie Crossbody purse. I rarely leave the house without it. But now I’m starting to get quite attached to a slightly larger version of the Annie bag – the Convertible Tote. Dang – now I actually have to make a choice about which one to travel with!

The Annie Convertible Tote has enough room to carry a journal, paperwork, a wallet, cell phone and all the other items I’d need for a day of walking around a city. It’s got a separate pocket for each of those items. Plus, a key clip, zippered pockets (inside and out) and an exterior elasticized pocket for a bottle of water or umbrella.

Though I don’t wear it this way myself, what gives it the “convertible” name is the fact that you can wear this as a small backpack. The straps Annie convertible tote and backpack from ellingtonconvert and you can just pull it over your back.

The interior is a light, contrasting color, to make it easier to find items inside. And the bag is made from the same durable quality you’ll find in all of Ellington’s products. Oh, and the nylon material is easy to clean.

OK – well I’ve just talked myself into making this my daybag any time I don’t need my laptop (which obviously doesn’t fit inside!).

Available on the Ellington website.

Travel Well,

Beth

    Looks like a little netbook might fit in there, eh?

    Since that’s what I’m traveling with now instead of a full sized laptop, this looks great.

    I was wondering how you feel about traveling in foreign countries with a backpack like this. We are planning a trip to Italy and I’m nervous about having my essentials behind me where someone could slip everything out. I’m I just being paranoid?

    Well… as I mentioned, I don’t use this as a backpack, it’s more of a shoulder bag. But if you’re going to use a backpack of any kind and carry it on your back – you just need to be super alert in crowds and know what to sort of reputation the area has.

    If it’s an area notorious for pickpockets, a bag from PacSafe will have slashproof panels and straps as well as zippers that snap into place so that someone can’t just unzip the bag.

    What a great looking bag. My iPad would fit just fine, maybe even with the wireless keyboard.

    Heather, when I travel to destinations that are infamous for pickpockets, I don’t take a bag at all. I use a cloth money belt to fit inside the waistband of my pants or skirt. It holds a very small wallet and passport. I also try to wear clothes that have zip pockets for carrying other items like a small digital camera.
