Lundi Remington Travel Bag
Don't let its traditional weekender shape fool you — Lundi's Remington bag has more organization features than most carry-on options. The exterior is crafted primarily from water-repellent grey oiled cotton canvas, with supple cognac vegetable-tanned leather reinforcements and accents. Inside there's 46 liters of space, Alcantara and polyester lining, a dedicated laptop pocket, multiple pockets for smaller items, and a leather strap with a carabiner clip for keys. Two separate outside pockets store shoes and/or toiletries while a flat pocket provides quick access to a passport or ID. YKK metal zippers secure the interior, and the removable shoulder strap connects via four buckles for maximum stability when rushing through the terminal.

Trashie
Trashie's Take Back Bag is the easiest way to get rid of clothing and other textiles you do not need anymore. Simply buy a bag (or a bundle of them) fill it up, mail it back, and Trashie will ensure those items never make it to landfills, rerouting them to third-party retailers Trashie individually vets for compatibility. That means your old T-shirt, depending on its condition, could end up going to someone in need or being broken down to create carpet padding or pet bed filling, among other things. You earn exactly $30 in TrashieCash for each bag you send back, which you can redeem for deals — direct cash equivalent or a certain percentage off — to buy yourself new things from your favorite brands.
