The Best Weekend Bags for Getaways
Let’s dive into the process of choosing the perfect weekend bag that fits your personal style and your travel needs. To ensure that your upcoming get away is as effortless as possible, we have recognized that choosing the right weekend bag is crucial. Before investing in one, it’s worth considering what exactly you need from your weekend bag. Below is an overview of the requirements that we and many others set for the perfect weekend bag.
How to find the best weekend bag?
Selecting a weekend bag involves consideration of numerous parameters, encompassing factors such as quality, spaciousness, organization, durability, warranty, and more. In this discussion, we will delve into the specific aspects you should remember, concluding with our recommended choice.
The size of the perfect weekend bag
A good weekend bag should be spacious enough to carry the most important things for a short trip, and be your all-in-one solution. We recommend a weekend bag of 30-50L. In order to find the right size, it is important to find a bag that can hold the necessary things for the trip, but it must also be able to contain extra items that predict your needs.
It can be nice to be able to have space for e.g. an extra set of clothes, shoes or anything else that you remembered at the last minute. Choose a bag that is not too bulky, heavy or difficult to carry, which is why a strap or durable straps are essential to be able to transport your weekend bag.
Organizing your weekend bag – What compartments are needed?
Having a spacious weekend bag is key to packing all the essentials, but it doesn’t have to be a black hole of clutter. The ideal weekend bag should be more than just a big mess, so it’s worth considering what compartments and pockets you want in your bag. This allows you to organize your belongings efficiently and makes it easier to find small items like passports, keys and wallets.
Choose a weekend bag that not only meets your space needs, but also keeps track of your things in a smart way! It is recommended to find a bag with at least four pockets, some of which have zippers both inside and outside. That way you can organize your things safely.
Once you have the organization of your bag under control, it is equally important to structure your trip in a manageable way. To ensure that both your belongings and your travel plans are well organized, it is recommended to use a travel app. It will help you keep track of your plans and allow you to relax and enjoy your trip to the fullest.

What should a weekend bag be able to contain?
Depending on where you are going and what personal essentials you need, there are some items that are repeated every time you pack for a short trip. The main compartment of your bag should have room for a few days’ worth of clothes, extra shoes, toiletry bag and a towel. Think about whether there is room for a computer, chargers and headsets if you often use this during your travels. If necessary, make a packing list with what you would like to bring on your trip.

Quality and Durability
Nothing can ruin a trip like a bag that gives up when you least expect it. Do yourself a favor and invest in a bag made of strong materials such as leather or canvas. Choose a weekend bag that not only promises durability, but also gets nicer over time. For added security, consider weekend bags that come with a warranty! Then you can travel with peace of mind knowing that your bag is solid and durable for your next trip.
To take the best care of your weekend bag, it is best to keep it dry and out of sunlight so that it does not become discolored by the sun. Feel free to use products to take care of your bag regularly, especially if the bag is made of a more delicate material such as genuine leather.

Appearance of your duffel bag
When it comes to weekend bags, looks may not be the number one priority, but there’s no need to compromise on style. Since your weekend bag is a long-term investment, you should choose something classic that is not bound by short-term trends or fast fashion. Leather bags have a particularly long-lasting elegance, charm and are an option for a material and appearance that is both classic and durable.
