Free People Movement Quilted Carryall
The Quilted Carryalll is designed to be your daily sidekick. For work, school, the gym, overnight trips and other excursions, it’s sized just right to throw over your shoulder and it fits everyday essentials like your phone, keys, wallet and water bottle, but it can also fit an iPad or small laptop, according to shoppers.
And don’t be surprised if this bag becomes your bestie. As one shopper wrote, “This bag is my whole personality at this point.”
Other customer reviews highlighted the roominess and color selection, and that it’s great for moms on the go, but some customers pointed to issues with the zipper breaking or getting stuck.
Quilted bags are one of my favorite trends for travel. Right now, my go-to travel bag is Rare Beauty’s Puffy Traveler Tote (and puffy makeup bag), but Free People’s Quilted Carryall is a good option for day-to-day use.
Need more options? COS has a wide selection of quilted bags, but for fashionistas on a tighter budget, Amazon has a Quilted Carryall dupe for $35, Walmart has a puffer tote on sale for $11.99 and Target’s Everywhere Tote retails for just $35.
