soft Bali Material Bags that are sold in the market stalls. We have had the straps strengthened by a tailor, superglued the end zip pockets up, they are of no use and use a lock and cable tie on the one 2 way zip. You can get these in many sizes and patterns. They weigh next to nothing.
You can get so many donations in to take up to Bali and can bring so much back with you. Any breakables can be taken as carryon luggage. Also they are usually first off a plane as they are last going on as they sit on top of all the suitcases.
If your carryon is a backpack type of lugage you can then have 2 of the smaller bali bags, one in each hand or just one large one if carrying carryon lugage in your hand.
Remember a lady is still allowed a small handbag and all can carry a camera, laptop, dutyfree bag and your magazines from the last shop you shop in!
