Dagne Dover’s roomy, squishy neoprene bags are beloved by Strategist staffers and readers and in-the-know travelers we’ve spoken with over the years. They’re not cheap, though, which is why we tend to keep an eye out for discounts. As part of Nordstrom’s Summer Sale, which ends tomorrow night, September 10, the brand’s Landon duffel (which is ideal for weekend trips or for using as a personal item on the plane) is 35 percent off right now. That brings the price down to a very reasonable $140 from the original $215.
If you’ve already got a Landon or are in the market for a smaller bag to stash your passport and phone in while traveling, Dagne Dover’s belt bags and cross-bodies are discounted as part of the same sale. I own the belt bag and can attest that it’s the perfect size for keeping boarding passes, cash, and tech items safe. It’s also unobtrusive enough that you can hide it under a coat or sweater to evade pickpockets or airline staff looking to enforce extra baggage fees at the gate.
