Antler Litestream Shoulder Tote

Advantages: Stylish, good range of features
Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection

...I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities. The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front. It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including: * mobile phone pocket * 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc) * key holder * A4 sized inside pocket * pen holders * other storage pockets It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock. For me the bag is excellent, as it forces me to become more... Read review

Advantages: Locks cases
Disadvantages: Not high security

...Antler combination lock On a recent foray abroad, I decided that it was about time I started locking my trusty holdall.. just because it has served me well for about 20years, doesn’t mean that it will always remain tightly shut when I get it off that carousel. So, needing something simple, and not with a key, I settled on the combination lock.

Advantages: Pristine beaches, lovely relaxed atmosphere
Disadvantages: Full of visitors for the above reasons

...A 30 minute / $6 ferry ride from Sydney Harbour brings you gliding into Manly Wharf, with views of the harbour beach and coves. Just north of the city, Manly is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and manages to pull off classy-beach-resort and tat-toting-tourist trap simultaneously. The Jetcat service is slightly quicker and slightly more expensive, but the standard ferry ride is so enjoyable it hardly seems worth it. You can also drive to Manly, though it's out of you way as the road curves round to follow the bay, but the best way in my mind is to arrive and leave by water, for awesome views of the Sydney Harbour skyline as you depart and arrive back. Many accommodation options are available, from posh hotels to backpacker hostels, but the majority of people visit Manly for a day or half day trip from Sydney... Read review
