The "Oliver" wax overnight bag by Ernest Alexander ($355) is my new favorite travel companion. It's been to San Francisco, Atlanta, and China and hasn't let me down. It's even survived the NYC subway. The bag's big enough to hold a few nights' worth of clothing for a quick restaurant-scouting weekend but small enough to fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat. And when I'm not on the road, it fits all those free canvas totes that I used to pack with. ernestalexander.com
