On my last out of town trip, I was stressing myself on which bag to use after my dad challenged me to travel light. Whenever something requires too much effort means there is hardly a chance for it to work. Who can relate?

Traveling light for me means bringing one fancy bag that you can use everyday that practically carries everything you need from hand sanitizer to check books and still look smart. Smart is spelled U-C-B.

Blame it on their wholesome ads but I’ve always known United Colors of Benetton to be all pastel colors and save-the-world-by-loving-colorful-people creed. Hey, I’m Asian and living in the Third World makes you practically worship color.

♫ So ta-dah! ♫

This Benetton shoulder bag with a metal lock is very sturdy and flexible. Made of pure leather, you will never worry about getting it wet or loosing its shape because of the contents inside. You can certainly adjust the gape of your bag’s mouth depending on the contents so if you brought your entire apartment inside, you can just choose to not lock all the side holes.

This bag is perfect with denim outfits and can be stylish enough to use everyday or even last minute bar stops. Photo below show this bar stop in Cagayan with Warren Go, Iris Guyo and Jay Pascual in Eleven50.

To make your Cebu shopping experience easier, United Colors of Benetton shop is located at the ground floor, Paseo Solana, Ayala Center Cebu.
