Western Europe is defined as the nine nations of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. From hiking through fields of wildflowers in the Swiss Alps to popping a bottle of bubbly on your balcony in Monaco, you could spend a lifetime discovering Western Europe's famous attractions and hidden gems.
Just thinking of the life-changing trips that await travelers in Western Europe ignites our travel itch! If the time has come for you to head to one or all of these beautiful countries, we want to be a part of it. We combed through our collections and hand-picked the Sherpani travel bags we believe will best suit female travelers in the iconic cities found in this part of the globe.
Here are the six Sherpani styles that came out on top for traveling through Western Europe! (Pssst—each one is also sustainably made and ethically produced.)
1. The Hyk - Crossbody Bag
The Hyk is bound to be your new best friend for minimalist travel. It features an adjustable belt that lets you easily convert the Hyk from a fanny pack to a mini crossbody bag. "Wearing your wallet" will let you explore hands-free, plus attaching the bag to your person adds a layer of safety. The zippered pocket on the back of the Hyk can fit two passports, it's the perfect hidden pocket as it sits against your body. It's also equipped with RFID protection!
This Sherpani favorite is available in many color options, and if you love it as much as we do, you'll want to grab more than one. For the travel days when less is more, us the Hyk to bike through Bordeaux, din in Düsseldorf, or zoom around Zurich.
Hands-free adventure awaits with the Hyk!
2. The Tulum - RFID Wallet
The wallet you've been waiting for! With RFID-blocking technology, the Tulum offers a place for everything and a way to protect it. This coveted technology blocks the signals used in cyber theft, something that is more common in Europe than in other parts of the world. Keep your credit card information safe with a wallet that's fun and functional. Though we named this style the "Tulum," we promise it will serve you just as well in Vienna!
The Tulum is available in several colorways. Express your style with the bold colors and fun patterns Sherpani is known for. (No worries if that's not your thing, it also comes in Raven—pictured above!)
The Tulum also makes a cute and thoughtful gift for the travel bug in your life!
3. The Sadie - Crossbody Purse
Some things never change, and this classic crossbody bag is one of them. The tried-and-true Sadie is a Sherpani favorite, and you'll be surprised how much this "sneaky big" bag can hold. Outside pockets include two layered zipper pockets on the front and a discrete side pocket that is easy to access. Inside, you'll find another zipper pocket and light gray interior, making it easy to see everything inside.
We chose this iconic style for traveling in Western Europe because of its comfort and class. The multiple pockets will help you stay organized during travel, the adjustable crossbody strap is easy to lengthen and comfortable for all-day wear, and the overall functionality of the Sadie is unbeatable. This ergonomic crossbody bag will surely become a staple of your bag collection.
The Sadie is never going out of style, just like Amsterdam.
4. The Soleil - Convertible Backpack
An award-winning anti-theft bag design from Sherpani! The head-turning Soleil is a three-in-one convertible bag; wear it as an ergonomic backpack, carry it as a functional tote purse, or rock it as a large crossbody bag. We love this choice for European travel because when you undoubtedly run into that "no backpacks allowed" sign at a museum, you can hide the backpack straps by tucking them into the back pocket. Turn the Soleil into a large crossbody bag and - viola! - you're set to see the Mona Lisa.
Sherpani's six-point anti-theft technology is a surefire way to protect your belongings wherever you go. Our collection of women's anti-theft bags include two kinds of locking zippers, RFID protection, a wire-loop chair lock, a ReturnMe tag, a slash-proof bottom and our proprietary wireless crossbody strap (which is removable, adjustable, and completely uncuttable!).

5. The Vale - Convertible Crossbody
Meet the Vale, one of our most versatile travel bags! The Vale has a reversible design and comes with two strap options: a short, fixed-length shoulder strap, and a longer adjustable crossbody strap. Both straps are completely removable, and the Vale features multiple attachment points, so there are many ways to style it! We chose this trendy bag for Western European travel because of its many looks; go from wine tasting in the French countryside to an unforgettable show in the heart of Paris—the Vale is never out of place.
The Vale seamlessly transitions from a medium-sized purse to a large purse with a bigger capacity. Stuff it full and it will stand up straight, or create a cute fold-over look for the days when you don't have as much to tote around. The Vale is also an anti-theft crossbody bag with Sherpani's theft prevention in place: locking zippers, RFID protection, a wire-loop chair lock, a ReturnMe Tag, a slash-proof bottom, and our proprietary wireless slash-proof crossbody strap.
The Vale is like carrying eight bags in one!
6. The Esprit AT - Women's Sling Bag
We love this sling bag for Western Europe because of its sleek design. The teardrop shape and asymmetrical style are as eye-catching as they are functional. The Esprit AT allows easy access for the wearer while preventing access from others. Simply swing the bag from your back to your front to get inside the main compartment, no removal is required.
This anti-theft sling bag is the security-focused version of our everyday sling bag. The Esprit AT ("Anti-Theft") comes with Sherpani's coveted anti-theft features: zipper locks, RFID protection, a wire-loop chair lock, a ReturnMe Tag, and a slash-proof bottom. This extra security offers the ultimate peace of mind. More peace of mind means more time to gawk at the fairy tale scenery of Luxembourg, and who doesn’t want more of that?
The Esprit AT sling is the crossbody sling of your Euro travel dreams.
