When you're off on holiday, it's tempting to invest in an expensive piece of hand luggage to throw everything into.
This is a mistake.
Your hand luggage is going to go through some serious damage. It'll get shoved in an overhead locker, chances are one of your beauty products will explode and it'll be bashed about while you wait in line to board.
A better idea, is to get a bargain bag, like this H&M option, which is sturdy enough to withstand all that treatment, but won't make you cry if it gets a bit damaged.
