    Many really wealthy people I know care less about the social implications of buying fakes. Plus, they might look down on "hillbillies" who spend so much money on a ridiculously overpriced bag. With luxury brands once again raising prices and limiting inventory, the replica version of LYXBAGS is even more attractive.

    Question: Do you happen to remember the name of the brand for the bag you carried for decades? Because I wanna check this out for some reason. Also Minooy has got many spacious bags. The crossbody bags are my favorite because you don’t have to bring a wallet and you can attach the keys onto it as well. The Thea is my second favorite bag but the Naya is my most favorite. I don’t have any of them but the Naya is what I prefer to have for so many reasons. What I like the most about Thea and Naya are the pockets designed for glasses and to keep em safe

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am with you 100% on the Thea and the Naya - they are both so perfectly designed! I believe my old bag was a BOHO brand? I bought it out of the Sundance catalog many, many years ago but they don't make it anymore. Believe me, I looked! :)

    Can your sunglasses and reading glasses go in the little compartments that you put your phone charger in? They have another bag called the Thea which I purchased but I wished it was a little bit bigger like this one.

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes - they can but a little tight. I also own the Thea and the sunglasses slots were what sold me on that bag. This one holds just a bit more that the Thea so it's what I use on longer trips.

  • @popiemac4579

    Great informative video. Thanks! Apologies if these questions have been asked before. Are you able to easily reach the straps while rolling or do you have to lean over a bit to reach them? Also, once you add additional items once expanded, is it still considered carryon size? Hopefully so since there’s no padding. Thank you!❤

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm 5'6" and the straps are easy for me to use as I walk. No bending over necessary! I have carried this bag on expanded numerous times. - it is big enough that it has to go in the overhead though.

      It's always good to make sure to look up the dimensions of whichever airline you are flying to see if this bag will be acceptable. I've had nothing but success carrying this on, both unexpanded and expanded. It's smaller than most carry-on suitcases.

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! 1) It's 3.85 pounds 2) I have carried it onto at least 6 different airlines, fully expanded, with no issues 3) It's a soft-sided bag - I would check it with clothes inside but nothing breakable or fragile. :)

    This looks like a great idea, I just worry if you expand it fully, it’s bigger than a carry on for some budget airlines. Do you check it or carry it on when it’s fully extended? Also, I think it’s true about how you distribute the weight. It could go lopsided and drag….thanks for a good review! I’m always looking for something to make travel a bit easier!

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've carried it on when fully extended and it's been fine! Never on an international flight...just domestic flights in the US. You definitely need to load it with the heavier things on the bottom...but if you do, it's pulls alont well.

    • @5MinuteTravel
      @5MinuteTravel 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven't tried it on United yet as I rarely fly them. If you're worried, I would take a look at the exact dimensions on the Biaggi website to see if it will be small enough.

  • @campingwithkids3350
    @campingwithkids3350 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If not expanded to full size, can this be used as a PERSONAL item or are the dimensions a little too big to be considered as a personal item since most are 18x14x9? (I believe this one is 16x15x9 when it's not expanded, according to the Biaggi website, so I worry about that extra inch.) I want to take a regular carry on bag for the overhead compartment, but I'd love to use this one as a personal item.

    • @5MinuteTravel

      It really depends on how much you want to take with you! I've used both the Thea and the Athena and they both work well. If I have something a little bulky then the Athena has multiple compartments. But usually the Thea is enough for me and what I carry around during the day. I especially like that I don't need a case for glasses since they are built in to this bag - one of my favorite features besides the credit card slots!

    The reason the zipsack "falls" over is a packing issue. I have that problem at times. It means the bag is too top heavy. I ALWAYS use the included strap to pull it. Overall though, it's a great bag and fits into Frontier's personal item bin (theonly issue I have ever had with that, was a charger in the outer pocket - make sure nothing protrudes from those pockets and always put it in the bin upside down)

      Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been traveling, holidays, etc. For a 3-week trip, the Athena is a little larger and holds more. The advantage to the Thea is the double-sided card holder panel AND the two slots specifically designed for sunglasses.
