Longer trips seem to be the focus of vacation planning, but don’t forget about the weekends! Weekend trips allow you to travel to places closer to home and offer a nice respite from the normal grind.  Every weekend warrior knows that the perfect weekender bag is key to a successful trip.  It’s an art finding the right bag… but don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of options for you. Read on for our top picks.

1. The Leather Bag: Durable and timeless, the leather weekender will fit into any setting, whether it’s a trip into town or a rustic stay in the woods.

2. The Fabric Bag: Fabric bags will give you a little more stretch to fit more items (or shove into tiny overhead spaces).  Plus with so many fabric options out there like waxed canvas, nylon and this cotton twill bag by Everlane, you have more options.

3. The Duffel Bag: The ultimate getaway bag, it allows you to throw things in and go. Where it lacks in compartmentalization, it makes up for in roominess.

6. The Boho: Go for a fun printed bag, to let your true style show… plus it’ll be easy to pick out at baggage claim amongst the sea of black bags.
