Be it a [beach](https://nypost.com/article/the-best-beach-gear-and-accessories-to-pack-this-summer/) bag, a [hiking](https://nypost.com/article/what-to-wear-hiking-outfit-ideas/) pack or a crossbody for a cross-country adventure, every [traveler](https://nypost.com/article/best-gifts-for-travelers/) needs a [tote](https://nypost.com/article/best-purse-brands-high-quality-handbags/) to match their [luggage](https://nypost.com/article/best-luggage-brands/).

Or, more specifically, a travel bag that fits the needs of the traveler and the type of trip. There is nothing worse that not having the right things when on vacation, and that includes a bag that is too bulky to lug around the resort, or [too small](https://nypost.com/article/travel-size-toiletries-essentials-to-pack-for-vacation/) to hold the necessities.

The only thing worse is getting your bag stolen or being pick-pocketed. That’s why our list below has theft-proof bags as well as a variety of other vacation-ready packs, helping to keep your belongings safe so you can enjoy your time off.

Read on for an assortment of [TSA-approved](https://nypost.com/article/best-carry-on-luggage-and-bags/), travel-ready purses and [bags](https://nypost.com/article/best-luggage-brands/) that will have you ready to stamp your passport or hit the road for the rest of the year.

Pack safe and sound with Pacsafe. This travel-friendly brand is sold on Amazon, with a variety of bags and backpacks to choose from. We love this purse, as it can be converted from a shoulder bag to a crossbody with an included strap and comes with RFID-blocking pockets, lockable zippers and more safety features.
