"The "Travel" version of the FoldNZip couldn't come at a more perfect time of the year. Traveling is going to be a bit easier having this bag as a companion to my carry on luggage set. Having a cup holder inside my bag is my dream come true, as I don't go anywhere without my iced tea in hand."

"As a first time tester I did not know what to expect. It was a fun make and even more exciting to know you are helping a designer with things she might have overlooked. The features that are including are perfect which you can use all or some of your liking. Everyone needs a bag like this. Mine is being used as a diaper bag for a toddler that doesn’t need much. It’s the perfect bag to travel with a toddler."

"Jassie’s designs amazes me every single time. The FoldNZip travel comes together so quickly, especially if you’ve made any of the bags from the FoldNZip collection before! As usual, Jassie always has something new to teach in every pattern that she releases. Every single detail has been so carefully thought out that the construction of the bag is seamless. It’s not just a travel bag - it’s great as a backpack, for cosmetics, for new mums, a crossbody bag. You name it, you’ve got it! Grab your Travel bag quick!"

This bag is great to take on a trip and great to be able to save room within your suitcase but yet still safely ride on your suitcase thanks to that amazing travel sleeve."
