Why I love my Mia Tui travel bag

I’ve tried a lot of bags over the years, but I keep coming back to the same problem: however stylish they may look, they’re not always that easy to travel with.

That’s why I’ve become such a fan of my Mia Tui travel bag ZOE.

I use it myself whenever I travel and, in fact, I’m about to buy another one which probably tells you everything you need to know. It’s one of those rare bags that manages to look elegant while also being genuinely useful - and, for me, one feature stands out above all the others.

"...the bag interior every woman needs, and wonders why she never thought of it herself!"

The feature I wouldn't want to be without

If I had to choose the one thing I love most about my Zoe bag, it would be the integrated luggage sleeve.

It slips neatly over the handle of a suitcase, which means the bag stays securely in place as you move through the airport or station. No sliding off, no awkward balancing, no shoulder strain from carrying too much at once.

It sounds simple, but it makes such a difference.

When you’re walking through a terminal pulling a suitcase behind you, the last thing you want is a handbag that keeps slipping off your shoulder or needing constant adjustment. Having the bag sitting neatly on top of your case makes travelling feel so much easier and more comfortable.

For me, that feature alone makes it worthwhile.

Why the ZOE works so well

The ZOE is one of those bags that feels as though it has been designed by someone who knows what I need! 

Like most brilliant ideas it began simply. Charlotte Tostevin lived overseas for many years travelling frequently with her children and designed a bag that would work for her busy lifestyle. It has evolved into what can be termed the 'busy womans best friend'!

It’s roomy without feeling bulky, structured without being heavy and smart enough to work beautifully with everyday outfits as well as for travel. I like bags that feel polished but not fussy and the ZOE strikes that balance very well.

It looks elegant, but it also works hard.

Easy to keep organized

Another reason I enjoy using my ZOE bag is that it helps me stay organised without any effort on a day to day basis too. 

Even scatter-brained me needs no reminding to take phone, drinking water, glasses, documents, pen etc. because one look inside my bag shows the gaps that need to be filled. How clever is that? 

There's a pocket or section for all the bits and pieces that tend to end up in a muddle, even a see through makeup bag.  

AND - it comes with a FREE matching clutch bag with two different straps (see below) turning it into either a crossbody bag or worn with a wrist-strap. I rarely bother with another evening bag when on holiday.  

It’s one of those bags that helps you feel more put together.

Lightweight stylish and practical

Another reason I enjoy using my Zoe bag is that it helps me stay organised without any effort.

There are compartments for all the bits and pieces that can otherwise end up in a muddle — phone, purse, keys, glasses, tissues, travel documents and the usual extras we all seem to carry. Instead of rummaging around and hoping for the best, I know where things are.

That’s especially helpful when travelling, of course, but I find it useful day to day as well.

Why I'm buying another one

I always think the clearest sign that something really works is when you want to buy it again.

That’s exactly how I feel about the ZOE. My pewter colored one (right) has proved so useful, so easy to travel with and so simple to style that I’m about to buy one in Berry!

When you find a bag that makes life easier and still looks elegant, it’s hard not to.

Thinking of trying one?

If you want a travel bag that looks stylish but is also genuinely practical, I think the Mia Tui ZOE is well worth a look.

For me, the integrated luggage sleeve is the real hero feature and once you’ve used a bag with one, it’s surprisingly hard to imagine travelling without it. Add in the organised interior, lightweight feel and elegant design, and it becomes the kind of bag you reach for again and again.

Travel in style like Jane!

TV presenter Jane McDonald is a real enthusiast of Mia Tui bags particularly when she's cruising.

When you're on a short excursion away from the ship there are a number of items you'll need to keep with you: passport and ship's papers/identification, guidebook, sunscreen, essential medication, first aid items, phone, wallet, comfortable shoes, umbrella (!) and water of course. 

Your Mia Tui travel bag will swallow them whole!
