With the right amount of space and the lightweight aspects of Lo & Sons’s design, the O.G. overnight bag quickly became my go-to carry-on bag.
Picking the right carry-on bag, for myself, has always been a challenge of finding the balance between function and design. By function, I look for dividers to organize my travel accessories. For design, I look for a bag that is sleek, stylish, and isn’t your typical airplane bag. The O.G. overnight is exactly both.

Lo & Sons won me over, around three years ago when I got my first crossbody named the Pearl. Now a household staple, Lo & Sons has kept me prepared for travels across the world. The company has a very sweet, family story of how the brand came about. Helen Lo (mom) was looking for the right bag for her travels, one that was easy to carry, organized, and not overpriced. Out of this, her two sons took her vision to production, and thus we have Lo & Sons. A brand dedicated to helping travelers to be prepared for their journeys, to travel light, and have durable, stylish bags.
So why is the O.G. the ultimate in design and function for an overnight bag?
Here are the four factors that won me over
- First and foremost, the back sleeve. This little sleeve allows you to put it right onto your suitcase, so no more carrying a heavy bag through the airport and hurting your back.
- Pockets — like you’ve never seen before. Both inside and out, these dividing pockets have allowed me to be organized. In the front, I am able to fit my accessories I reach to most, like phone and passport. Inside the big pocket, there are sections for computer, papers, make-up bag, and a change of clothes.
- The shoe pocket! One of my favorite little secret spots in the O.G. is the shoe compartment. On the side of the bag you can slide in a pair of flats or heels to change into.
- A padded compartment that fits a 13-inch laptop.





Getting prepared for a trip, I always lay out every thing I will pack into my airplane bag. Here’s a list of everything I was able to fit into my O.G.:
- Passport & wallet
- One book, notebook, & pen
- Sweater & change of shoes
- Laptop & charger
- Beauty bag with all essentials
- Reading glasses


After trying multiple carry-on’s, I now can travel with confidence that I have a bag that suits everything I look for in design and function. A bag that is durable, well-made, and functional.

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
