If there’s one thing Oprah has perfected—besides curating her iconic Favorite Things list every year—it’s traveling well. At 72, she’s mastered the art of smartly packing her suitcase with pieces that are equal parts practical, comfortable, and stylish. Her travel favorites are full of the handy finds she actually uses, from podiatrist-approved shoes that can handle miles of sightseeing to sleek crossbodies, thoughtfully designed travel bags, and organized toiletry bags that make travel routines feel a lot more seamless.
Right now, several of those Oprah-loved staples are quietly on sale at Amazon, with prices starting at just $17. Whether you’re upgrading your carry-on lineup before your next trip or simply want to see what made the cut for one of the world’s most seasoned travelers, these 10 essentials deserve a spot on your radar.
Vionic Uptown Loafers
Some shoes look cute in your suitcase and betray you by lunchtime. These Vionic loafers are not those shoes. Oprah has loved the podiatrist-approved brand for years, and this polished pair packs in serious arch support and shock absorption, so you can wander cobblestone streets, pop into museums, and make it all the way to dinner without counting down the minutes until you can take them off. Plus, the neutral color options pair nicely with pretty much everything you packed.
Mali+Lili Gail Multi-compartment Crossbody Bag
Not every outing calls for a giant tote, especially when all you really need is your phone, passport, cards, and lip balm. This compact crossbody bag keeps everything organized without weighing you down, and you can swap between the sleek leather strap and the striped webbing strap depending on your mood. Oprah’s already a fan, and it’s exactly the sort of bag you’ll end up wearing from touchdown to takeoff.
Bagsmart Travel Toiletry Bag
Save 20%There’s something deeply satisfying about opening your suitcase and immediately finding your skincare instead of digging through a jumbled mess of bottles. This Bagsmart toiletry bag unfolds to reveal dedicated compartments for makeup, skincare, and everything else that usually gets tossed together. Oprah loves it, thousands of Amazon shoppers picked one up just within this past month, and after one trip with it, you’ll probably retire your old toiletry bag for good.
Dlooda Wide-leg Sweatpant Jeans
Save 20%Oprah swears by Rag & Bone’s famous sweatpant jeans, and this comfy wide-leg pair delivers a very similar vibe without the designer price tag. They look like classic denim from the outside, but they’re actually made from a soft, stretchy knit with a pull-on waistband that feels infinitely better on long travel days. Wear them with sneakers through security, then throw on sandals for dinner, and nobody will know you’ve basically been wearing comfy lounge pants all day.
Jw Pei Aylin Canvas & Quinn Cell Phone Crossbody Bag
Save 15%Some days, carrying a full handbag just feels a bit unnecessary. This super compact crossbody bag holds your phone, cards, and lip balm—because that’s often all you need when you’re out exploring a new city. I especially love the canvas version for summer, but this faux-croc finish looks far more expensive than its price tag if you’re after something a little dressier.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 Wireless Earbuds
Save 19%Apple AirPods have earned permanent carry-on status for a reason, and this Oprah-loved pair does a lot more than block out unwanted travel noise. Along with impressive noise cancellation, they can translate conversations in real time while you’re traveling abroad and even track your heart rate during workouts. They’re also 20 percent off right now, which makes upgrading your headphone situation a whole lot easier to justify.
Vionic Cypress Strappy Sandals
Save 40%Even though Oprah hasn’t singled out this exact pair, Vionic is one of her longtime favorite brands for comfortable travel shoes, and these strappy sandals are made for summer trips. They have the brand’s signature arch support, a shock-absorbing sole, and a deep heel cup that helps keep your feet happy after hours of walking. They’re also neutral enough to work with just about every outfit in your suitcase, which is always a win when you’re trying to pack light.
Mali+Lili Lola Beauty Bag Duo
Save 18%I’m convinced you can never have too many pouches to organize your smaller essentials while traveling, especially when they actually make your suitcase easier to live out of. This two-piece beauty bag set helps keep makeup separate from accessories, and the larger bag even cinches into a surprisingly cute evening bag when you don’t feel like packing an extra purse. Oprah called it “ideal for travel,” and she wasn’t wrong.
Pander Belt Bag with Adjustable Strap
Save 41%Oprah’s been spotted wearing the popular Lululemon belt bag while traveling, and this under-$20 version delivers the same easygoing, hands-free feel for almost half the price. It fits all the daily essentials without turning into one of those oversized belt bags that somehow becomes heavier as the day goes on. It’s just as useful for sightseeing as it is for everyday walks, errands, or your next coffee run back home.
K. Carroll Kelsey Crossbody Bag
Save 20%Oprah called this K. Carroll Kelsey crossbody a major “bang for your buck,” and after seeing how many compartments it has, I get it. There’s space for just about everything, plus RFID-blocking card slots for a little extra peace of mind while you’re traveling. I’m partial to this bright color for summer because it adds an instant pop to neutral outfits, but if that’s not your vibe, there are plenty of understated shades to also choose from.
