Top 5 Picks for the Perfect "Weekender" Bag

Some my referrer to it as a duffel bag, while others may refer to it as a traveler bag, but for the fashion conscious, its "The Weekender". I have been searching how and low for that perfect weekender and decided to share my top five picks.


5. Fred Perry 'Overnight' Bag

Travel in style with this fashionable and spacious overnight bag from Fred Perry. Made of synthetic leather, dual handles with an attachable cross body strap, and a flat bottom with feet to protect bag when set down. With the recognizable laurel logo, this Fred Perry bag is a affordable weekender for all with a price tag of $94.

4. Large Banff Bag

Made from 100% Football leather, this Large Banff Bag from Roots is the ideal luggage bag, with an interior passport pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap for easy carrying. What is great about this bag is also the drawback... if you tend to overpack, like i do, it is easy to load up the roomy main compartment so full that is can be a load to carry. I also like that it is casual enough to go to the gym but I can also take it to a W or Fairmont and not be embarrassed at check in. $398

3. Bodhi 'The Weekender' Bag


Constructed in a classic rectangular shape from durable leather, a top-zip bag is roomy enough for all your weekend essentials yet compact enough for easy travel. With a price tag of $888, this is one weekender with style and substance but won't make you brake the thousand dollar budget.

2. D&G 'Runway' Vintage Calfskin Leather Weekender

Zippered patch pockets front a vintage calfskin leather bag, lending a utilitarian vibe to the look. The removable shoulder strap provides on-the-go convenience. This vintage weekender will be the envoy of everyone. Its classic look screams a man on the go. The only thing that prevented this from being number one is the hefty price tag of $1,140. At this price, this weekender is simply a luxury, and its hard for me to completely love a weekend bag that cost more than $1000. But, to each his own, and if you got it then you surely won't be disappointed. This is living proof that moving can buy happiness.

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Weekender


I will be the first to tell you that I LOVE Marc Jacobs, the guy is a genius when it comes to fashion, and this weekender will make you melt. It premium leather in a versatile, go-anywhere design fit for the gym or a weekend out of town. This is the Banff bag on a another level. Its flashy, but not to flashy. If you the type that doesn't like huge logos and names on the cloths then this is the bag for you. Marc lets the bag speak for itself. People will recognize it without a huge logo. But for less fashionable, Marc puts a small patch of leather on the front of the bag that simply says, Marc by Marc Jacobs. At $489 this weekender will get you the best bang for your buck.
