Chatelet Air 2.0 Shoulder Bag

Previously I would pack my laptop in my hardshell carry on and carry a crossbody purse. Now I’ve reconfigured my travel strategy to use this shoulder bag to pay my laptop AND my small crossbody, freeing up valuable storage in my hardshell carryon; which will also make it lighter for overhead stowage.

I have had this bag for 5 years and carry it everywhere I go - flying to Europe about 5 times a year, driving trips. I pack a handbag and use this as my personal carry-on for under the seat. The handles are frayed but the stitching is still intact and I just trim the frayed parts off. It's a work horse and so easy to use. Slips on over the handles of my carry-on that goes in the overhead and the zipper exterior pocket carries easy to reach essentials - passport, wallet, boarding passes, glasses. Inside my computer stays safe and there's plenty of room for everything I need.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy when I opened the wrapping paper and saw "Delsey Angora Shoulder Bag" printed on the box because it would go to with the Angora Beauty Case and Carry-On that I already have. Boy was I disappointed. The bag arrived in a box that was not much bigger and noticeably damaged. When I opened it, there was no protective packing, just a worn-looking bag. I pretended to be excited because my husband was so proud of himself but I am let down by the bag's condition. It has creases and almost looks pre-used. This was slightly more sad than the Beauty Case, which arrived scuffed. What's going on, Delsey? I cannot recommend this product based on my experience.
