Le Sport Sac is the answer for lightweight purses/totes etc.
I just went through my things that I usually take with me & realized that I have a number of things by this company that I love to take because they are lightweight, fold down to nothing, are quite indestructible and provide a lot of versatility. Thought I'd bring this us for those of you who are debating totes, purses, fold-up suitcases etc. They are quite pricy normally, but I have never paid full price for any of mine. I have found them at Marshall's or TJ Maxx or on close-out at Macy's.

Agree that Sportsacs are great. Have been using them for years - in a variety of colors - for both larger carry-on weekenders and for day bags while traveling.
They are light weight, expandable and indestructible. And have never found them expensive for what you get - since they last forever - I have some now that are at least 12 years old. And you can get them anytime at Macy's, Bloomies etc.

Yes! They are the best. I have several pieces, including a backpack, that I bought at T.J. Maxx in a variety of sizes and patterns.
My favorite features: lots of zipped pockets, virtually weightless so they can be folded into your suitcase for the return flight and used for shopping and best of all, the larger pieces (18 & 22" have two zipper pulls so they can be LOCKED.
I'll be traveling soon and have been going through my totes (Vera Bradley, Kipling)looking for something that I can pack the laundry and old clothes in and check on the way back if I need to. The LeSportsac is the only tote with the double zipper pulls. I use the TSA approved locks in and from the U.S. but not from Europe.

I have 3 Le SportSacs and am considering buying another, but I wish the company would bring back the smaller model that has 2 outside pockets, one at each end--that seems to be available now only in the large, expandable version.

Thanks for the TJMaxx tip. I had an old Le Sport Sac duffle that finally bit the dust (about 20 years later!) and don't like the price or designs I was seeing currently on their website or at Macy's.
