The Rick Steves bag
Rarely does a celebrity name attached to a product add anything but cachet. That's happily not the case with Kiva's new Rick Steves luggage line. Steves, whose Europe guidebooks and television series help travelers save money and experience the local flavor of destinations, had a hand in designing this well-thought-out collection.

My favorite item is the
Convertible Carry On Bag
. At 21 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches deep, the bag has impressive packing space. The sturdy but lightweight (3.5 pounds) nylon bag can be carried as a backpack or a suitcase. It has plenty of pockets inside and out, compression straps to stabilize the load, and two mesh organizer bags. A clip-on zippered pouch can provide quick access to cash, a passport, or other travel papers. Comes in five colors.
