You know that moment when your bag is packed, zipped and technically ready to go, but you still have “just one more thing.” A jacket or another pair of shoes and three things sitting on the bed? The Cincha Travel Expandable Tote was made for exactly that situation, giving travelers extra room without forcing them to start packing all over again.
Meet The Founders of Cincha
Ashley Sharma and James Baker created Cincha after dealing with a problem most travelers know well: trying to keep a personal bag balanced on top of rolling luggage. Rather than accept the awkward airport shuffle, the Oakland-based couple designed a travel belt that could secure a bag to a suitcase while still looking polished. That practical idea became the foundation for Cincha Travel. The founders later introduced the brand to a wider audience on Shark Tank, where they pitched their solution as a simple way to make traveling feel less stressful. Today, that same mix of function, style and real-world problem-solving runs through the company’s growing collection.
The Cincha Travel Expandable Tote is priced at $129.99 and measures 23.75 by 14.5 by 7.5 inches. When you need more room, the zippered base expands by another four inches. The oversized shape works well as a carry-on, weekend bag or backup tote, while the expandable base gives you room for last-minute additions. A built-in laptop sleeve also keeps your technology separated from clothing, chargers and everything else packed inside.
It comes in an assortment of colors, which is a nice break from the usual black travel bag. Use it as a carry-on, weekend bag or backup tote for everything you somehow pick up along the way.
For anyone who rarely comes home with exactly what they left with, this tote understands the assignment.
