The Travel Bag That Made It Through 14 Airports

The Travel Bag That Made It Through 14 Airports

by Anna Murphy in Blog

When you’re moving through airport after airport, the last thing you want is a travel bag that slows you down.

After 14 airports, countless security checks, cramped plane seats and more than a few half-eaten snacks, the Daily Traveller has proven itself as the kind of carry-on companion you’ll reach for trip after trip.

One Bag, 14 Airports and Everything You Need Within Reach

A good travel bag needs to do more than simply hold your belongings. It needs to keep everything organised, accessible and comfortable to carry.

From a laptop and water bottle to headphones, passport, notebook, snacks and all the little essentials you collect along the way, the Daily Traveller has room for it all.

Its thoughtful compartments mean you’re not digging through your entire bag at the security line or searching for your passport while boarding begins.

Designed for the Reality of Travel

Here’s what travelling with the Daily Traveller actually looks like.

5:40 AM – Out the Door

The elongated handles and extended shoulder straps make it comfortable to carry, even when it’s fully loaded for a long day of travel.

6:15 AM – Check-In

The built-in luggage sleeve slides securely over your suitcase handle, keeping your hands free while moving through the terminal.

6:50 AM – Through Security

Five insulated pockets keep bottles and snacks organised and easy to access, while the rest of your essentials stay neatly in place.

7:30 AM – At the Gate

The zip-up top flap folds away into the side pocket when you want the convenience of an open tote.

8:05 AM – Boarding

The Daily Traveller slides under the seat in front of you, so your laptop, passport, headphones and snacks stay within easy reach throughout the flight.

The Carry-On That Keeps Up With You

Travelling can be unpredictable. Your bag shouldn’t be.

Whether you’re heading away for a weekend, travelling with kids or making your way through multiple airports, the Daily Traveller is designed to make the journey easier.

Customers love its generous size, thoughtful pockets and versatility. It’s roomy enough to carry everything you need without sacrificing organisation, and durable enough to become a reliable travel companion for years to come.

Urban Traveller or Daily Traveller: Which One Is Right for You?

If you prefer a smaller, lighter travel bag, the Urban Traveller is a great option for everyday adventures and shorter trips.

For travellers who need extra room, the Daily Traveller offers more space for laptops, snacks, travel essentials and everything else you want close at hand.

Both feature removable crossbody straps, making it easy to switch up how you carry your bag while travelling.

Ready for Your Next Trip?

Wherever your next adventure takes you, a well-designed travel bag can make getting there a whole lot easier.

Pack smarter, stay organised and keep everything you need within reach with a Murph & Murph travel bag.

Which Murph & Murph Bag Is Right for You?

Which Murph & Murph Bag Is Right for You?

by Anna & Cath We get this question a lot. "I love your bags, but I don't know which one is right for me." It's a fair question. We have a few different styles now, and they're designed for genuinely different kinds of days. So we thought we'd break it down properly. Here's every bag in our range, who it's for, and what it does best. The Urban Traveller Tote | Our most loved $299 | Available in Black, Navy, Khaki, Sand, Blossom and Chocolate (coming soon) This is where it all started. The Urban Traveller is our medium-sized everyday tote, and it's the bag we get the most messages about. It's for the woman who needs her bag to work as hard as she does. The one going from school drop-off to the office to after-work drinks without going home in between. The one who needs a laptop in her bag without looking like she's carrying a laptop bag. Here's what makes it different: It free-stands on the floor. This sounds small until you've never had a bag that does it, and then it becomes one of those things you can't live without. It sits up on its own at your desk, at a cafe, on the floor of a plane. No flopping over. No tipping. It fits a 13-inch laptop in a padded sleeve, plus everything else you actually carry. It's water resistant, so a bit of rain doesn't ruin your day. And it has an insulated drink bottle pocket, a zip-up internal pocket and a D-ring for your keys. If you're looking for one bag that does everything, this is it. Ideal for: the daily commute, the office, school runs, weekend trips, travelling light. The Daily Traveller Tote | For bigger days $329 | Available in Black, Navy, Khaki and Chocolate (coming soon) The Daily is the Urban's bigger sister. Same DNA, more capacity. If the Urban Traveller is your everyday bag, the Daily Traveller is your everything bag. It fits more, holds more and handles more — without feeling like you're carrying a suitcase. It's the one for the airport. The one you take when you're away for a few nights and need your gym kit, your work bag and your personal items all in one. The one you reach for when you know it's going to be a big day. It has the same features as the Urban — water resistant, structured, free-standing — but scaled up. It also folds completely flat for storage or packing inside a suitcase, which is one of those small things that makes a real difference when you travel a lot. Ideal for: weekend getaways, airport days, work trips, gym-to-office days, any day where you need to fit more. The Cove Carry-All | For when you need to carry everything $269.99 | Available in Midnight Blue, Lemon Butter, Charcoal Grey, Mirabilis Black, Tan Mirabilis and Cloudy Grey The Carry-All is our oversized bag, and it earns its name. It's the bag for the beach. The pool. The sports sideline. The park. The kind of day where you're packing for yourself and everyone around you — towels, snacks, sunscreen, a change of clothes, a spare everything. It's big. Genuinely big. And like everything we make, it free-stands and is water resistant, which makes it the obvious choice for any day that involves sand, water or outdoor adventures. It also works beautifully as a nappy bag, a hospital bag, a sports bag, and — honestly — a bag that just sits in the car for whenever you need it. It goes from the beach to the shops without missing a beat. Ideal for: beach days, pool days, sports sidelines, family outings, travel, anytime you need to carry a lot without sacrificing how you look. The Small Bags | The Petite range From $129 Not everyone needs a bag that fits a laptop. Some days you just need your keys, your phone, your cards and a lip balm. That's what our Petite range is for. We have a few styles in this category — the Petite Luxe, the Panda Petite, The Caroline and the Blondie. They're all smaller, crossbody-friendly bags with more personality and punch than you'd expect at their size. The Petite Luxe in Chocolate is our newest addition — a smart crossbody with a lockable zip closure (great for travel and crowded places), a magnetised front pocket for quick access, and a roomy main compartment. It attaches to a suitcase handle and is water resistant. These bags are for the days when you want to travel lighter. Dinner out. A morning of errands. A weekend away where you're not carrying the whole household. Ideal for: evenings out, travel days when you're going light, errands, gifting. The Bebe Rugs | Not a bag, but worth talking about From $90 Okay, these aren't bags. But they're one of our most loved products and they deserve a mention. Our Bebe rugs are made from neoprene, the same material as a wetsuit. That means they're cushioned, water resistant, easy to clean (they hose down at the end of the day) and nothing sticks to them. Sand, grass, dirt — it brushes straight off. They're the picnic rug you can actually take to the beach. The baby rug you can throw in the washing machine. The sports sideline companion that doesn't end up ruined. We started making them because we couldn't find a rug that worked for all of it. Same reason we started making bags, really. Ideal for: picnics, beaches, sports sidelines, baby gifts, parks, any outdoor adventure Still not sure? Here's the simplest way to think about it: Daily commute, office, school run: Urban Traveller Airport, overnight trips, big days: Daily Traveller Beach, family days, everything including the kitchen sink: Cove Carry-All Evenings out, light travel, gifting: Petite range Outdoors, beach, baby: Bebe rugs And if you're still not sure, send us a message. We've been recommending bags to people for over a decade. We're pretty good at it. Shop the full range →

The Colour You've Been Asking For...Meet the Petite Luxe in Chocolate

The Colour You've Been Asking For...Meet the Petite Luxe in Chocolate

You asked. We listened. For a while now, the most common message in our inbox has been some version of the same thing: do you have anything in chocolate? A deep, rich, warm brown that goes with everything and gets better every time you use it. The answer, finally, is yes. Meet the Petite Luxe in Chocolate — our newest colourway, in a brand new fabric that we are genuinely so proud of. Why chocolate? Because it's the colour that works hardest in your wardrobe. Chocolate goes with cream, with camel, with black, with olive, with white linen in summer and chunky knits in winter. It's a neutral that doesn't feel boring. It's elevated without trying too hard. And in this new fabric, it has a depth and richness that photographs we just can't do justice. You have to see it in person. (Or you have to trust us, which after a decade of making bags, we hope you do.) What's new about the fabric? We don't change things for the sake of it. Every tweak we make to our bags starts with a problem we're trying to solve, or a feeling we're trying to improve. This new canvas fabric is stronger, smoother and has a finish that feels more considered. It's still water resistant — that's non-negotiable for us — but there's a quality to it that feels like a step up. The kind of thing you notice when you touch it for the first time. The bag itself The Petite Luxe is our compact crossbody — small enough to feel effortless, smart enough to hold everything you actually need. Here's what it does: Lockable zip closure. The upgraded clip-fasten lock-up function helps deter pickpocketing without making the bag harder to use day to day. It's thoughtful design for the kind of travelling and commuting most of us are actually doing. Elongated handle. Wear it over the shoulder or crossbody. It sits well either way. Attaches to your suitcase. Slip it over the handle of your carry-on and it stays put. One less thing to juggle at the airport. Individual insulated pockets. Your keys, your cards, your lip balm. Everything has a place. Water resistant. Because life happens and your bag should handle it. Strong canvas fabric. This bag is built to last. We design everything that way. Who it's for The Petite Luxe in Chocolate is for the woman who wants a smaller bag without compromising on function. The one who's done carrying a tote everywhere and wants something that feels a little lighter, a little more pulled together. It's for travel days when you want your essentials close and your hands free. For dinners out when you don't want to think about your bag. For every day in between. It's $129. And we think it's one of the best things we've made. A word on the colour We're going to be honest with you — the Chocolate looks even better in real life than it does on screen. There's a warmth to it that photographs can't fully capture. It's not cold or corporate. It's rich and grounded and a little bit luxurious without being precious. It's the kind of colour that ages beautifully. That gets better the more you use it. That's the point of everything we make, really. Shop the Petite Luxe in Chocolate — $129 With love, Anna & Cath

Some colours stay favourites long after they’ve disappeared. Blossom marks the return of one of Murph & Murph’s most-loved pink tones, reintroduced in the Urban Traveller for a fresh new release.

Blossom is soft without feeling overly sweet, feminine without becoming difficult to style, and neutral enough to work effortlessly into everyday wardrobes. It pairs naturally with activewear, denim, tailoring, neutrals, and everyday basics, making it the kind of colour people reach for regularly rather than occasionally. Easy to carry.Easy to style.Easy to wear year-round. Designed for Everyday Organisation Like every Murph & Murph bag, the Urban Traveller in Blossom was designed with practical everyday use in mind. Its structured shape helps the bag maintain its form throughout the day, while the thoughtfully designed interior keeps essentials organised and easy to access. From pilates to work, airport mornings to everyday errands, the Urban Traveller is designed to move easily through full days without sacrificing style or functionality. The Return of Blossom The return of this much-loved colourway also reflects the softer, more lifestyle-led direction Murph & Murph continues to evolve into.
