It’s hard to find a cute women’s travel backpack for travel that would check all the boxes. We as women need a bag that would fit a lot of our things would be stylish, but at the same time not that bulky and big.
When choosing a bag for travel it’s important to estimate what things you will want to fit there and how will you use the bag.
If you are going for several days and will need a lot of stuff, a backpack probably is not the best choice.
However, if you will go only for an overnight trip or you plan on taking your baggage with you throughout the day (if there’s no option to leave it at the hotel), then a backpack will help you not to overpack.
You can also do a combination of a suitcase and a backpack, as many air travel companies allow you to take multiple items on board. This way you can pack the things needed in flight or on a day trip in the backpack and leave the more rarely used items in the suitcase.
Below you’ll find a selection of bigger and smaller backpacks. These are cute yet functional and will keep your hands free from taking the most amazing travel pictures.
Roxy Women’s Here You Are Backpack
Stylish and durable backpack perfect for everyday use and for travel. Thi cute Roxy backpack can fit a 15-inch laptop and has three main zip compartments. The backpack would fit nicely in the plane’s hand luggage compartment under the seat in front of you. The padded shoulder straps are comfortable and would be great for a day while exploring a new city.
S-ZONE Soft Leather Antitheft Backpack
S-ZONE backpack is made from genuine leather and is water-resistant and anti-theft. The design is simple and sleek, perfect as a travel day bag. It won’t fit a full-sized laptop, but you can take a 9.7-inch Ipad Pro with you. There are convenient pockets on the outside for some lesser-valuable things like a water bottle.
Fjallraven – Kanken Classic Backpack
Fjallraven – Kanken Classic Backpack is iconic and wildly recognized among students. But it also makes a really good travel backpack if you have to pack just for a couple of days.
You can fit 16 liters of storage inside (a laptop as well), and it comes with a sitting pad for impromptu seating. The best feature is the durability of the Fjallraven backpack – you can use it for years and only occasionally wipe it clean.
Read here my review of using Fjallraven-Kanken for more than 4 years. If you are looking for cute small travel backpacks, this is it.

I loved the last 3 backpacks, the hiking, one with USB slot and the last one anti-theft. I think like with most of the things, bagsin future would come wedded with high technology.

Because of covid my husband and I have been taking overnight camping trips for the first time ever. I find myself packing too much and I think it’s because my bag is too big – The Osprey Sirrus backpack looks like it will be the perfect size!
