I’ve been traveling a ton lately and it’s reminded me how important a good weekender bag is. I use mine as a carry-on when I fly, a pool bag whenever I’m anywhere remotely sunny (like my recent trip to LA) and a standard overnight bag for weekends away. So I thought I would do a quick round up to share my 5 favorites at the moment. Drumrolll….!

I recently got this AMAZING bag from Duende that combines 3of my favorite things: cobalt, leopard and stripes! The quality is amazing and it’s so roomy and perfect.

Sticking with the blue theme, I also love Longchamp’s Le Foulonné bag. It’s pricey cuz it’s leather, but if you’re looking to spend on a classic to have forever, you really can’t beat it.

This canvas and leather Cuyana is another favorite, both for it’s understated style and under-$200 price tag. I’ve had mine for years.

Owen & Fred is a men’s brand, but I love their weekenders! The vibe is a little masculine (obviously) which I think can be so chic and unexpected on women.

Finally, Kate Spade knows her way around a bag (duh) and her Lyla weekender is so charming. The striped nylon holds up (and hides dirt) really well and HELLO how about the luggage tag that reads “are we there yet?” Talk about my sentiments exactly!

Have I missed any good ones out there? Leave a comment and let me know!
