These babies allow you travel the world in a carry on without sacrificing those souvenirs! VENO Bags caught on after college parents figured out how amazing these things are for moving the kiddos in and out of dorms. What I have found is that they are the secret weapon of savvy travelers. These large, ultra-sturdy bags fold down and tuck easily into your carry-on. When it’s time to head home, fill it with your laundry and check it as luggage—freeing up your suitcase for fragile souvenirs and valuables. With double zippers that fit travel locks and compatibility with heavy-duty luggage belts, VENO Bags are the perfect blend of practical and protective. Travel light, return loaded!

Peace of mind for you and your luggage! These belts provide an extra layer of protection when placed on checked bags. We all know that airlines aren't always the most gentle with your luggage. Add some extra support and a pop of color for quickly recognizing your bag on the luggage carousel. I always add 2 of these to a Veno bag in a criss cross pattern for the way home. They provide a quick way to recognize my items and help reinforce those zippers. Place the bonus luggage tags on everything that travels with you, but only put a phone number & email address. No need to advertise a home address while you're away on vacay!

This is a must-have for every mom, Boy Scout, or super hero who "has something for that tummy rumble" close by.

I’ve tried a lot of portable chargers—most either gave up on life halfway through the day or weighed down my bag like a brick (plus, hello cable chaos). But this one? Total game-changer. Slim, lightweight, and built for real life, this charger has never let me down. It holds a solid all-day charge and comes with built-in Lightning and USB-C cables—which means no more rummaging around for cords or untangling a tech mess mid-flight.
