Does anyone who has a Little Swift use it as a day bag? I'm debating what to bring to Brazil next week. I am usually happy with the Co-Pilot or a backpack, but for hanging out with family and such I actually want something a smidge more feminine. I LOVE my Little Swift and was considering taking that. My only concerns are (1) rain, since my past experiences in Brazil are that when it does rain, the heavens open up and you get a tropical downpour. Though I suppose a dry bag tucked inside for my electronics would help with that, and (2) pickpockets. However, I'll mostly be hanging out with family, and when we venture to Rio or whatever I could take care to secure my wallet to the bottom of the bag so it can't be lifted out.
I'm curious if anyone else has used a Little Swift on vacation. I also have a perfectly good Kipling purse that gets zero use, and I could stow in the suitcase as a backup. I bought it specifically for travel. The other con of taking the LS is that I value it too much to put it in my checked bag, so it will go in my carry-on, which is actually limited to 5kg, something I am struggling with as I pack. So I may end up leaving it home out of necessity![]()
