The Tournament Traveler by Georgie & Lou may be the official bag of the World Pickleball Tour, but it’s also likely to become your favorite travel companion. Lightweight, understated and chic, the bag’s durable, water-resistant nylon exterior means airport and in-flight spills can be easily wiped away without spoiling the surface, while multiple zipped storage spaces can accommodate all your under-seat needs. The straps are removable and fully adjustable so you can switch up your look, turning it into a shoulder bag or crossbody bag. Along with an exclusive carabiner system, there’s an exterior pocket that converts to allow the bag to slide over a suitcase handle for easy transport. The Tournament Traveler weighs a mere 1.5 pounds, and measures 12 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches. Add a little personal flair with the choice of a pink, green or black zipper tassel.

The Motion Laptop Bag/Computer Briefcase Vegan Leather Limited Edition from MOOV is a classy (and slightly sassy) addition to your luggage/workday tote collection. You’ll love the refined, sophisticated design; smooth, supple vegan leather; sturdy handles; abundance of zipper compartments (including clear pockets); and the trolley slip band that fits over your carry-on handle. The MOOV Motion bag accommodates a MacBook Air 14-inch in a padded pocket. Generous interior spaces include two bottle holders that can also be used to stash cords or chargers. Bags have an optional, detachable shoulder or cross-body strap and are available in Earth Brown and Midnight Black.

Stroll the Captivating Barrios of the Chilean Capital

Santiago is divided into comunas (districts) and then into barrios (neighborhoods). Founded in 1541 by Spain, Santiago suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, floods and civil disorder. It is no wonder its barrios are unique and distinct — some with steep terrain crawling up into the foothills of the Andes, some sitting close to the urban center and boasting busy cafés, music clubs, restaurants, food markets, and new residential and commercial high-rises.

Switzerland’s Lavaux Region Tempts Wine Lovers with Bottles They Can’t Get Back Home

Switzerland’s most famous exports — impeccably designed timepieces and luscious chocolate — are available around the world. Its wine, on the other hand, proves as elusive as an easy ascent up the Matterhorn. The Swiss understandably prefer to keep most of it for themselves, to sip après ski alongside bubbling fondue pots of melted Emmental. If you want to taste their homegrown beverage, imbued with crisp mountain air, intense sunlight and sparkling glacial waters, you might have to jump on a plane.
