What is a Weekender Bag?

Not all slightly larger tote bags can be regarded as weekender bags. A weekender bag can be defined as a bag that’s big enough to carry all your essentials but small enough to carry around with you without physical pain becoming a problem.

They come in a range of styles, but are most common in a duffle bag style, with two handles over a large single zip opening.

How To Choose a Weekender Bag

It’s important to think about much more than simple appearance when you want to find a reliable and efficient weekender bag.

The bag needs to have enough space to carry a host of essentials, which could include your phone or phones, wallets, cards, water bottles and passports.

Materials commonly used to make weekender bags often include leather, polyester, nylon and canvas.

If you do opt for a leather bag, remember that these can be more difficult to clean, but it's also the most stylish material.

This is why it’s so important to carefully read the instructions so you don’t damage the bag.

Some weekender bags are suitable for a day or two of travel, but there are larger ones available that can serve you well for around four or five days away from home.

What can you store in it?

Items often stored in weekender bags include outfits, shoes and toiletries. When it comes to clothing, it’s best to avoid delicate garments or items that wrinkle easily, as chances are you won’t want or be able to steam or iron whilst you’re away from home.

However, if you opt for a garment weekender bag like the Grand from Von Baer, you can carry your formal items without them creasing.

Best Size To Choose

Opt for a bag that’s sizeable enough for a few changes of clothes. However, try not to buy something so big you might feel it with items you don’t actually need.

It's best to choose something within hand luggage sizes, that way you can use the bag as a carry-on as well.

Are weekender bags personal items?

Very small weekend bags can normally fit under aeroplane seats and be used as personal items. However, most normal and larger ones like duffels don’t always qualify. Before you fly, check the dimensions of the bag to be sure.

When Can You Use a Weekend Bag?

Weekender bags can be ideal when you're planning a getaway and need a reliable travel bag that won't be too difficult to transport. A weekend bag can be the ideal place to keep your belongings including things like your laptop, laptop sleeve, water bottle, sneakers and gadgets.

There are many options available to you when it comes to material, compartments, shoulder straps, style, handles, design and interior space. No matter what your tastes are, there should be plenty of options available to you.

A weekender bag can be the ideal alternative to a suitcase, backpack, tote bag or duffel bag, and you also have many choices when it comes to fabric, colors and sizes.

If you need access to a bag for weekend trips that offers outstanding durability and makes organization a breeze and ensures you have everything you need in terms of luggage during a short trip away, a weekender bag could be for you.

This kind of bag can also be taken to work, to the gym and to the beach. Weekender bags have been in fashion for some time and are showing no signs of falling out of favour.

There are many trendy, modern, chic, fashionable and stylish weekender bags available, and you'll have a great deal of choice and variety when you're browsing for one, whether you're buying from a well-known brand or a less famous manufacturer.

Whether you're on a tight budget or have more to spend, there are many options available.

They help you keep your valuables close when traveling the world, which is ideal if you're in a location that's not familiar. If you're running for your departure gate at an airport, a duffel weekender bag that's easy to carry will be invaluable, keeping your tickets and documentation safe.
