I purchased the Markson in the Oat for my hand luggage for my trip to Japan. It’s the perfect size, lightweight, handles are comfy and there are plenty of pockets including a travel slip so you can place it over your suitcase handle. However! It has ended up really being an everything bag! I’m a teacher, so it’s perfect for my laptop, Frank Green and all my teacher things. I love the flat base so it stands upright on its own - this is a deal breaker!! It’s also been great for day trips with the family to the beach without being too bulky. It’s a fabulous and versatile bag that can really be used for everything! I can imagine it would also be great for the gym or as a baby bag too. You really can’t go wrong with Prene :)
