Even though all of them are acceptable for flights, some are handier than others depending on the conditions. Don't be concerned if you can't tell them apart.

Look through this collection to become acquainted with the many types of travel bags!

Things to keep in mind while choosing a travel bag.

Choosing the perfect travel bag can be super tricky! First off, you have so many options, and then comes the quality and sizes!

We all enjoy traveling, but when it comes to luggage, we're at a loss for what to do. Several aspects and situations must be considered while selecting a bag for your vacation. Even though all of them seem to be acceptable for flying, depending on the conditions, some are harder than others. Don't worry if you're having difficulties telling them apart.

Travel baggage is more than simply a bag to carry for a day or two; you obtain it to carry for the rest of your life. It makes no difference if you are 15 or 50. This is your best friend and a valuable asset in your daily life. Travel bags must be replaced on a regular basis since they are one of the most fashionable accessories, and new fashion bags are brought into the market on a regular basis. However, choosing the proper decision while purchasing a leather travel bag is critical.

Here are a few points to think about before selecting leather luggage, suitcases, and travel bags that are a better match for your needs.

1. Your travel destination

How long will your journey last? Everything would fit into a tiny carry-on suitcase for a weekend getaway. Depending on the sort of goods you'll need to bring, you might wish to invest in rolling baggage for a longer trip. Will you have numerous layovers or will you be flying low-cost flights?

Are you going to take the train or the bus? If you're going by train, aircraft, or bus, you'll need a lightweight carry-on, wheeled luggage, or even a backpack duffel that's easy to manage and fits in automobile, airline, and bus overhead compartments. Will you be staying in a luxury hotel or camping in remote areas?

Trust me! All these questions will play a huge role in your Buying Decision.

2. Is it waterproof?

Everyone carries expensive goods in their luggage, such as laptop computers, iPads, and other technological devices. Even the books and diaries included within our important. You should always verify the waterproofness of your bag before purchasing it, living in a rainy location.

The other most essential factor to consider when purchasing a leather travel bag is the bag's craftsmanship and sewing style. The sewing quality on some bags is subpar. To purchase a bag for your vacation plans, it is important to read the buyer's review or inspect the quality of the material and everything within the back. The most vital aspect is reliability.

4. Additional Features

When purchasing a leather travel bag, always look for extra features in the bag. Traveling luggage necessitates a lot of room. If you want to make it more helpful, look for added features and pockets that allow you to fit more stuff and personnel in the bag.

5. Does this bag resonate with you in terms of convenience?

If you are considering purchasing a leather travel bag, you should examine the space inside the rear as well as all of the little spaces in the shape of front and side pockets. Traveling bags should have that to retain the greatest amount of material in the bag while not making it appear too large to maintain a decent image. Determine which bag is best for you based on your needs.

6. Functionality

Another key factor to consider when purchasing a travel bag is functionality since you do not want to be carrying a hefty bag all of the time. Check the heaviness of the bag, since you will be carrying it with you all the time and do not want to become fatigued from carrying it.

Lastly, how much is too much for a Leather Travel Bag? If you buy an inexpensive bag, do you have to compromise with quality?

What Are The BEST Leather Travel Bags For Women? (2024)

When it comes time for bag buying, there should be no half measures. Synthetic materials may get the job done, but there’s nothing quite like leather. It fits in just as well on top of a mountain as it does on the 60th-floor corner office, and its durability is unmatched.

Your next leather bag should last you decades, so you need to be very careful when choosing which bag is up to the challenge. Many bags promise to carry your loads, but only a few can truly take a load off.

Leather may not be the cheapest material out there, but the difference between high quality and low-quality goods makes a world of difference. Only the best leather bags get everything right.

Your leather bag should take care of the details, with reinforcements and extra stitchings in all right places. It’ll have to provide the right amount of organization options, whether that’s through more exterior pockets or separate compartments for everything.

And of course, it has to shine no matter what it’s being paired with.

That’s a lot to ask for out of one pack. To make the perfect tote easier to find, we’ve put together a list of leather bags up to the challenge.

Don’t bag a pretender. We did the extra research and went the extra mile to put together this leather bag guidebook. Whether you need something for daily use, travel, or commuting, you’ll find the best leather bag for your lifestyle below.

#1 – Best Women’s Leather Daypack – The Office Backpack

Whilst not a dedicated backpack brand as such, the leather goods company Harber London really does make some great ones. This is their office backpack which is made from part rich, full grain leather and part water proof synthetics. It’s a cracking back to take to work, on days out and also makes an excellent airport bag.

The Office Backpack resembles a typical nylon adventure backpack in many ways, except with a top-grain cowhide finish. Two water bottle pockets and three exterior pockets will let you take this bag to work, on a hike, or into the subway. 

This bag offers comfortable swivelling shoulder straps and has detachable magnetic key chain included with it. What else? How about special pockets for cords, business Cads and candy bars, a padded laptop compartment that fits 16″ Laptops and a padded tablet compartment, fits 13″ Tablets. And all handmade by expert craftsmen in Spain. 

While I wish the bag was a bit bigger to accommodate longer trips, there’s plenty to love about this bonafide leather day backpack . 

#2 – Best Women’s Leather Weekend Bag – Women’s 45L Weekender Duffel

Now, unlike the Katmai, this female travel bag will carry some serious weight. 

If you’re shopping for something to take on longer trips, you can fit everything you need for the weekend in style. Two different carrying handles and leather straps reinforced from top to bottom means you can fill the bag without feeling the burn. 

It fits into your carry-on compartment while still allowing you to store plenty of snacks and a jumper for your next long flight, and the top to bottom long length of this bag will help it from looking overstuffed. 

It may look classy, but it’s nothing short of formidable. 

#3 – Best Leather Unisex Bag – 25L Denali Canvas Duffel

While every bag is unisex if you believe in yourself, this Denali Canvas can walk down all aisles. Because it works for everyone, the bag throws in something for every style to work as a great all-around bag.

It can be a gym bag that looks good in the office (and business bags are hard to find), fit snugly on the back of a bicycle, or hang loosely over one shoulder during the ascent.

I love the side pockets on this duffel bag because they both come with a protective zipper pocket. The larger compartment in the middle is kept secure with magnetic brass buckles.

This bag may not be made entirely out of leather, but it comes from the mind of Kodiak, so they were sure to fill in details and handles with genuine leather to ensure this bag won’t break down no matter the task. 

#4 – Best Women’s Leather Camera Bag – Cordova Messenger

You’re not supposed to shoot the messenger, but you will get a few shots, thanks to the perks packed into this messenger bag. It’s incredibly lightweight and trim for a bag made out of top-grain water buffalo leather, which helps you take it wherever nature calls. 

I’ve always found that my favorite pictures are the ones taken on the way to wherever I planned on shooting, so it’s always a good idea to have the camera close. 

Cordova made sure that will never be an issue by staying slim and still providing the storage space needed to carry along your equipment and a backup battery. 

This bag isn’t big enough to house an entire studio, but in a pinch, you’ll be happy you remember to sling this bag over your shoulder.

#5 – Best Women’s Leather Airport Bag – Leather Purse

Leave your troubles with your checked bag and float through the airport with this leather purse. This purse works for daily use and traveling, thanks to its efficient features.

It’s slim and durable, bound to get you through security in seconds . You can safely stow your wallet or money in the large central pocket and keep your passport and boarding pass in the easy access exterior zipper.

Like all of Kodiak’s larger bags, the entire thing is nothing less than top-grain leather and brass hardware. There are four credit card holders and another interior zipper sealed pocket inside the main compartment to make sure nothing gets lost in the bottom. 

Travel days will always be a little hectic, but this handy leather bag has everything you need to get through the day quickly and nothing you don’t. 

#6 – Best Women’s Leather Vegan Bag – Kenneth Cole Reaction

You can save a little money and save a few cows by opting for vegan leather . Kenneth Cole’s affordable leather bag won’t last as long as the real thing, but it will provide convenient features as long as it lasts. 

A crisp black exterior clicks with every look and won’t stand out in a crowd. Two carrying styles help you take a load off, but you can remove the shoulder strap on days you don’t have much to pack. 

The backside of the bag features easy loops that will help the bag easily attach to larger suitcases. 

This bag won’t save the world, but if you need something easy that can pack everything you need for an overnight trip, you can trust this reaction. 

#7 – Best Women’s Leather Carry on Bag – Handmade Leather Travel Duffel Bag

I haven’t seen many more affordable genuine leather travel bags, especially not with style like this one. And it’s Handmade !?

It almost sounds too good to be true, but the folks at Rustic Town Store have made an affordable leather bag that embodies the materials’ hardworking history. 

The sturdy bag is hand-made from buffalo hide, all the way through the carrying handles, which connect to the main bag with brass fittings. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, sticking with classic leather color and duffel storage ideals. 

One large interior compartment and two exterior zippered pockets store it all. 

Plenty of time went into guaranteeing this awesome travel bag will last for many trips to come. 

#8 – Best Women’s Leather Dressed Up Backpack – Mahi Roma Backpack

If you are looking for a travel backpack that also “dresses up” then check out the Roma Backpack by Mahi leather. It’s constructed from robust, firm full grain leather (making it pretty heavy) and equipped with plenty of storage options that make it both stylish and practical.

There is plenty of space for all your essentials, and it will even accommodate a 13″ MacBook Air. The Roma is the perfect companion for city breaks and daily errands.

It’s a high quality, good looking backpack that will last you for years.

#9 – Cheap Women’s Leather Look Bag – Montana West Large Leather Tote

An homage to leather’s true gunslinging route, this affordable tote is dressed to kill. The bag is made of faux leather to give it such an affordable price point (as well as vegan bag cred), but it’s still up to the task. If you need a leather bag capable of packing heat, this bag is built to work with a concealed carry permit.

It’s designed for security from top to bottom, with two anti-theft zippers and a double reinforced central compartment. From America’s beginning, outlaws and cow folk have relied on leather to keep their guns close. This bag helps carry on that tradition.

While you can’t expect it to last forever, the time you have together will be nothing short of an adventure.

Now, you  could spend a fat chunk of $$$ on the WRONG present for someone. Wrong size hiking boots, wrong fit backpack, wrong shape sleeping bag… As any adventurer will tell you, gear is a personal choice.

So give the adventurer in your life the gift of convenience: buy them an REI Co-op gift card!  REI is The Broke Backpacker’s retailer of choice for ALL things outdoors, and an REI gift card is the perfect present you can buy from them. And then you won’t have to keep the receipt. 😉

You’ve got more options than ever. Synthetic materials keep getting stronger, cheaper, and more versatile, and yet leather is the best of the lot in many categories. 

Tough as Nails

Top-quality real leather materials are some of the most durable bag materials on the planet and are still surprisingly lightweight. My dad’s leather wallet has been around longer than I’ve been alive, and it still looks a bit better off than I do. 

An entire bag made out of leather can be bent, squished, stuffed, tossed, and scraped without damage. Each blow that scars your leather bag will morph into a natural part of the coat, making the bag subtly change with the years. 

Water-resistant

In addition to being malleable, a great leather bag will have some tremendous weather-resistant features. While they won’t stop a storm, a quality leather bag will have no trouble in a drizzle. The smooth surface helps moisture wick right off, making the bag fare well in the heat as well as wet conditions. 

The cherry on top is the authentic look leather brings. We’ve harped on it already in this piece; there is never a wrong time for a leather look. No matter where you are, where you’re heading next, and what you have to bring with you, the right leather bag will turn heads and fit in. 

Basically, you should travel with a leather bag because they are born to be wild. Your adventures are going to put you to the test, and the right leather bag will be ready for whatever your trip may throw at you.

It’s not all sunshine and roses. Understand where leather bags fall short before you commit to the style. 

Top-grain leather isn’t cheap, and you won’t find a genuine leather bag suitable for travel for less than a few hundred dollars.

Using a cheaply sourced leather material like split leather bags defeats the purpose of the material. You’d be better off buying a nylon or canvas bag than settle for less than the best leather, which could set you back a few paychecks.

Carbon Footprint

It’s getting harder and harder to ignore the impact our choices have on the environment that raised us. Leather is a naturally sourced material, but that doesn’t mean it’s eco-friendly. Unless you know exactly where the leather in your bag was sourced from, it’s easy to wonder about the conditions in the factories that produced your current look.

Limited Colors

Because leather is a natural substance, you’ll be sorting through a sea of brown to find your next bag. Although each leather color is unique, and there are loads of different shades to shop for, there are fundamental limitations to the color choices to pick through.

Luckily, the colors that leather does come in work with any look.

If you’ve made it this far, you’ve come a long way towards securing the best leather bag for your next trip. Women’s travel gear is catching up slowly, but it can be hard to find the perfect bag for a modern traveler, especially when it comes to leather. 

The best leather bags in the business will let you conquer challenges big and small, with a lightweight toughness ready for anything. 

My favorite backpack, the Katmai Diaper Bag , does a lot more than carrying toiletries. It’s a versatile leather bag that has a place in every closet. 

If you’re only going to have one leather bag that looks to work well in every scenario, this 25L Denali Canvas Duffel is the closest thing leather bags have to a swiss army knife. 

Whichever bag is good enough for your shopping cart, it’s sure to make your trips easier for years to come if it comes from this list.

Travel + Leisure / Joy Kim

Whether you’re embarking on a romantic getaway or a girls' trip, a weekender bag can make packing easier and traveling a breeze. We tested a variety of weekender bags in our lab and judged the best options based on portability, durability, design, and more.

Throughout multiple lab tests, we've tested more than 70 weekender bags the last few years to continuously update our list of the best weekender bags based on our extensive testing. First, we test the bags in the lab, paying special attention to organization, capacity, and notable features. We pack the bags full, carry them around for extended periods of time, and throw them around to test for durability. After initial testing, we send them for our Travel + Leisure team to test on their travels out for up to six months to get more insights. Here are the 11 best weekender bags for all types of getaways.

Best Overall

Away everywhere bag.

The bag is sleek and spacious with room for at least four or five days’ worth of clothes.

The shoulder strap is slightly difficult to adjust.

Away’s The Large Everywhere Bag earned the top spot on our list of the best weekender bags due to its minimalist design that allowed effortless, organized packing. This clamshell-style duffel bag is equipped with enough space for nearly a week’s worth of clothes and pockets for just about any travel essentials. The interior has one main compartment for bulkier items like clothes or shoes, and the inside of the opening flap has three mesh, zippered pockets for storing undergarments or other small items. We loved the exterior padded laptop pocket that could easily fit not just one but two laptops, if needed. The bag had no issues when we tested it for durability by throwing it off a table multiple times, which leads us to believe that the water-resistant material and sturdy build will hold up well with prolonged use. We had a little trouble adjusting the shoulder strap, but both the strap and the leather top handles are padded and comfortable whether you're holding or wearing the bag.

You can choose from three matte colors including black, navy, and a lighter coastal blue. If you’re traveling on a longer trip, this Away duffel bag has a built-in trolley sleeve in the back that can easily slip onto the handle of a roller bag. Whether you’re traveling for business or on a vacation, we think Away’s The Large Everywhere Bag is a functional and modern travel accessory fit for your next adventure.

Best Personal Item

July carry all weekender.

It's small enough to fit underneath an airplane seat if needed.

It could use a few more pockets for organization.

This July weekender is the perfect smaller bag to bring with you as a personal item on a flight if you already have a carry-on. It really can "carry all" of the essentials you would need for any length of a trip, whether that be a laptop up to 16 inches long or a cozy travel blanket . In testing, the minimalist nylon bag could fit enough clothes for a two-night trip at most since it's on the smaller side. However, we were able to squeeze in a laptop in addition to the clothing thanks to the designated laptop pocket. We think it could use a few more pockets for storage, but for the smaller size, the bag was still easy to pack and carry. After six months of use, our commerce testing editor Jackie Cucco still found it to be a sturdy and durable option for a personal item.

The Details: 18 x 10.5 x 8.5 inches | 2.2 pounds | Twill nylon | 16-inch laptop pocket

Best Expandable

Longchamp le pliage expandable travel bag.

The tote has an expandable zipper to add more or less space as desired.

It only has two small slip pockets on the inside.

We're big fans of Longchamp's Le Pilage collection, especially this expandable weekender bag. At first glance, it looks like a regular Longchamp tote, but it features a discrete expandable zipper that adds an extra 20 liters of space, meaning the bag can be a whopping 70 liters if desired. We were able to fit more than enough clothing and accessories for a four-day long trip with the expandable zippered undone. For added versatility, the bag is the perfect size for commuting to the office or flying with it as a personal item since it's the size of a typical canvas tote bag . Made with lightweight polyamide canvas, we had no issues carrying the bag around with the leather tote straps or removable shoulder straps. The only downside to this tote is that it doesn't have pockets, which means you'll have to use your own pouches to stay organized on the go.

The Details: 17.7 x 13.8 x 9.1 inches | 1.56 pounds | Recycled polyamide canvas, leather

Best Water-resistant

Monos metro duffel.

The bag feels lightweight even when it’s packed, and the straps are comfortable to use.

The bag's narrow opening makes it difficult to pack.

Monos’ The Metro Duffel is a compact weekender bag that impressed us with its roomy interior that fit all of the designated packing items during our tests. There wasn’t much room leftover, but despite being packed nearly full, the bag remained lightweight and easy to carry with the comfortable shoulder strap and top handles. Although spacious, the bag's narrow opening can make it difficult to pack and remove items when in need.

We appreciated the detachable toiletry bag that latches onto the front of the bag, and although it was a little difficult to get on and off the bag, it was reassuring to know that the toiletry bag won’t come off easily while traveling. During our durability tests, the bag did not get scratched at all when we tossed it around, and the detachable strap remained secure throughout. Unfortunately, the section of the bag that holds the strap fell apart after a couple months of use, but we were sent a replacement right away (covered by the two-year limited warranty) which has fared well during trips since. The bag has a large zippered pocket on the opposite side of the detachable pouch, and there are several interior pockets to store water bottles and smaller items, including a designated laptop sleeve. We especially love that this bag is water-resistant, so you don't have to worry about it getting ruined if you get caught in the rain.

The Details: 16.3 x 11.2 x 7.2 inches | 3 pounds | Water-resistant nylon

MZ Wallace Nik

The quilted material is sleek and effortlessly stylish.

The removable shoulder strap isn't padded, so it wasn't as comfortable to carry.

MZ Wallace is known for bags made with stylish puffer quilted fabric, so we love that its Nik weekender looks just as nice as it is functional. The bag has a whopping 16 pockets on the inside and outside of the bag including designated pockets for technology and water bottles. We're big fans of the bag's organizational features, but we also like that it can fit enough clothing for a weekend getaway. After three months of testing, we found ourselves using this bag for trips no longer than one or two nights — while the pockets are fabulous, there's just not enough space to pack for a lengthier getaway. The material is lightweight and the tote straps are comfortable to carry for long periods, but the removable shoulder strap could be more comfortable if it was padded. And if the bag ever feels heavy, it has a pass-through luggage sleeve so you can prop it up on a roller bag for superior portability.

The Details: 16.93 x 12.2 x 7.09 inches | 2.1 pounds | REC Oxford, leather | 16-inch laptop pocket

Best Colors

Calpak luka duffel bag.

The puffer-style duffel bag comes in a variety of neutral and bold color options.

The shoulder straps were more comfortable to use than the crossbody strap.

Calpak makes tons of stylish luggage for travelers who love a pop of color (including us), so we're fans of this puffer bag. With 20 color options ranging from bubble gum pink to neutral oatmeal, the extensive list of colors is the perfect opportunity to add a unique shade to your luggage collection. Besides the intriguing colors, this bag scored highly in testing thanks to its spacious interior for packing items for a two or three-day excursion. It has nine helpful pockets for storing socks, undergarments, technology, and more, and it boasts a trolley sleeve and a designated shoe pocket on the side of the bag — everything to win over our editors . We also found it easy to keep clean and odor-free, even after three months of testing. The puffer polyester material is super lightweight, so the bag is a breeze to carry, but we did prefer the shoulder tote straps rather than the removable crossbody strap since the latter was a tad less comfortable.

The Details: 16 x 12 x 7 inches | 2.1 pounds | Polyester

Best Budget

Hyc00 travel duffel bag.

The straps are very comfortable to carry the bag over the shoulder or with the top handles.

It’s smaller and better suited for a short weekend trip.

The HYC00 Travel Duffel Bag has all the pockets and compartments needed to efficiently pack for a weekend trip. The interior compartment could easily fit two pairs of pants, four shirts, a pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag , and there was a little bit of room leftover for a few more shirts. The bag is lightweight, weighing just 1.3 pounds, and we loved how comfortable it was to carry with the shoulder strap or the tote bag handles on the top. We liked the design of the bag with three pockets on the inside, including a wet bag pocket for traveling with a swimsuit. The exterior has two buckles on each end of the bag for compressing or extending the height, as well as a front zippered pocket for storing a phone or wallet while traveling.

After six months of regularly using the bag, we really liked that the fabric is easy to wipe down any stains or dirt after a trip. The bag is made of water-resistant nylon with plastic-lined pockets, making it extra easy to clean if anything is spilled on the inside or outside. There are over a dozen colors to choose from including light pink, pale blue, and olive green.

The Details: 21.7 x 10.6 x 7.09 inches | 1.3 pounds | Water-resistant nylon

Best for Outdoors

Peak design travel duffel.

It’s a durable, lightweight bag that can be converted from a duffel bag with a shoulder strap to a backpack.

The straps could be a little more padded for added comfort.

If the outdoors is calling your name, the Peak Design Travel Duffel 35L is the best weekender to choose whether you’re camping, glamping, or taking a road trip. Made of weatherproof nylon canvas, this duffel bag is equipped with a waterproof lining at the bottom and weatherproof zippers, too. The shape of the bag and hardware remained intact after we tossed it around to test for durability, and the hardware and weather-resistant fabric feel very high quality. The shell of the bag has an athletic style; we feel the material resembles a hiking or outdoors-specific backpack versus a more polished piece.

This bag has one main compartment that fits enough clothes for a weekend, and there are two internal mesh pockets and four external pockets for storing additional items as well. It comes with detachable, padded shoulder straps that you can convert from a shoulder strap to backpack straps. While the straps were comfortable to wear once adjusted, we thought there could be a bit more padding for extra comfort. This bag is a great value for people looking for a very lightweight, weatherproof, easy-to-carry bag that will last a long time.

The Details: 22 x 14 x 10 inches | 2 pounds | Recycled 600D nylon canvas with leather accents

Best Organization

Béis the commuter duffel.

The bag has numerous pockets and compartments for packing efficiently.

This 24-liter bag is on the smaller size.

Finding a weekender bag with the ideal number of pockets can be difficult, but luckily, Béis has one that makes packing quick and effortless. This 24-liter bag has various pockets and storage for weekend essentials such as a laptop, shoes, clothing, a toiletry bag, a lighted travel makeup mirror , and more, helping travelers stay organized with everything in quick reach. Because it's on the smaller side for a weekender bag, we found it could fit all of the items on our two-day packing list with room left over. After six months of testing, we found that the trolley sleeve made for placing the bag on a suitcase held up well and that the tote handles and padded shoulder strap were still both comfortable. We also noticed that in that time, the bag hasn't stained or scuffed, despite having a lighter shade. Durable and thoughtfully designed, this Béis weekender has everything we look for in a reliable travel bag.

The Details: 21.5 x 12 x 9 inches | 3.15 pounds | Nylon, PU, Polyester | 15-inch laptop pocket

Best Machine Washable

Vera bradley weekender travel bag.

The bag is machine washable which is nice for keeping it clean over time.

It’s small for a weekender bag and isn't the most comfortable to carry.

The Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag has a minimalist design and there are nine unique colors to choose from including olive green, lavender, mulled wine, and rouge rose. While this weekender impressed us with its sleek look, it performed equally as well during testing. The bag has enough room for clothing for a two- or three-day trip, but it didn’t have any room leftover after we packed it with two pairs of pants, four shirts, a jacket, a pair of shoes, and a toiletry bag. There are more than enough spots to safely tuck your items away, with five interior mesh pockets, two exterior zipper pockets, and two slip pockets on each end of the bag.

When we tossed the bag around to check for durability, it didn’t scuff or get scraped. After regularly using the bag for six months, it still looks good as new. The best part of this bag is that the cotton fabric is machine washable — an ideal feature for prolonging the life of the weekender after use over time.

The Details: 18.5 x 12.5 x 7.5 inches | 100 percent cotton with 50 percent recycled cotton

Best Splurge

Lo & sons catalina supreme.

The spacious bag has special features that make it easy to pack your life away.

The large size might not be best for shorter trips, and it can be bulky to carry.

Luggage can be pricey, but after testing this weekender from Lo & Sons, we're confident that this bag is worth the investment. It's filled to the brim with thoughtful features that are sure to make packing and traveling much more smooth. With 47.5 liters of space, the main compartment fits all of the items on our four-day packing list with plenty of room left over. Hands down, our favorite part of the bag is the separate bottom compartment that comes with removable dividers so you can pack it full of bulkier items or organize it in sections. If you're not a fan of the bottom compartment, there is a flap that unzips to open it up to the main part of the bag to pack it as desired. The poly material passed our durability tests, so we expect this bag to last for a very long time, which helps justifies the higher price point.

It is one of the largest bags on the list, which can make it bulky to carry for long periods of time — an issue that we continued to run into after three months of use. We also found that the messenger strap needed frequent readjusting when the bag was packed full.

The Details: 19.7 x 15.5 x 9.5 inches | 4 pounds | Recycled poly, leather | 16-inch laptop pocket

Other Weekender Bags We Liked

We've tested so many weekender bags over the years, and while many made our list as top picks, there were others we liked that had — or lacked — traits that ultimately kept them out of our favorites.

L.L.Bean Utility Weekend Duffel Bag : We thought this roomy bag might make a better bag for the beach than a weekend trip as there aren’t many pockets for storing smaller items.

Rothy’s The Weekender : The best part of this durable bag is that it's machine washable, but we felt the price was a little steep at $549 compared to other options on our list.

Rains Bag : We appreciated that the material is completely waterproof, but the strap wasn’t cushioned, making it uncomfortable to wear for long periods (and there were no pockets on the inside or outside of the bag).

Cuyana Large Travel Bag : Although the material of the bag feels luxurious and sturdy, we felt that the handles were a little thin and flimsy. For a bag that is nearly $350, we would want to make sure it holds up over time.

Etronik Large Overnight Weekender : This spacious, water-resistant bag has a shoe compartment and comes with a bonus travel pouch. It's a steal at $50, but we were suspicious that the super lightweight material may not be the most durable.

Travel + Leisure / Nick Kova

We've tested over 70 weekender and duffel bags across several lab tests to continuously update this article with the best weekender bags on the market. To compare all of the bags, we follow the same methodology of testing and rating each bag on capacity, design, portability, durability, and overall value.

First, we packed the bags with either two or four days' worth of items (depending on the bag size) from our curated packing list that includes items like pants, shirts, jackets, shoes, laptops, and toiletry bags. The bags that scored a five during our capacity test were noted as being very roomy and fit all of the packing list items with room to spare. Next, we judged the bag’s design by analyzing the pockets and compartments on the exterior and interior, as well as checking each zipper to evaluate how well they work.

When each bag was packed, we walked around carrying it by the shoulder strap and tote handles. The bags that scored a five for portability were comfortable to carry and distributed the weight evenly. Then, we threw/dropped the weekender three to five times off a table to check the durability of the bag. We checked for scuffs, marks, and any damage to the items on the inside. After we finished testing the bags in the lab, we sent them out to our T+L team members to take on trips to see how they fare in the real world, too.

Tips for Buying a Weekender Bag

Consider the types of trips you take most.

If you’re planning on using a weekender bag for business trips, one with a built-in suiter or separate compartment for shoes would be a better fit — or even a garment bag that can easily convert into a weekender. However, if you're packing long formal dresses for a weekend wedding you'll need a quad-fold garment bag such as the Monaco Garment Duffel from the Dagne Dover Luggage Edit collection to prevent wrinkling. For travelers looking to do short trips, be sure to note the size of the bag, as weekender bags don’t come in a universal size. Not all weekender bags come with trolley sleeves to place it on a rolling suitcase, so if you’re planning to fly with a weekender bag, you’ll want to note special features for air travel, like a laptop sleeve, a water bottle holder, or accessible pockets for chargers and wallets.

Think about the size you need

Whether you're a minimalist or an over-packer, the size of your weekender bag is crucial. Larger bags will need to go in the overhead bin space, but some people may prefer underseat luggage pieces or personal items that can supplement larger carry-ons . Personal items will be smaller in size, but can still worth perfectly for a weekend's worth of essentials.

It's also important to consider any, and all, organizational features. Oftentimes, bigger bags include pockets, separate compartment for shoes, and even packing cubes, so make sure whichever size bag you select suits your travel needs.

Prioritize durable materials

Weekender bags come in a variety of materials like polyester, leather, canvas, nylon, or cotton, and certain ones hold up better against wear and tear. If you’re taking a weekender bag on a guy's camping trip, for example, or anywhere outdoors, consider a weatherproof bag made of nylon or other water-resistant materials like polyester or coated cotton. To find out if the material is water-resistant or weatherproof, check the specifications listed by the manufacturer. 

It ultimately depends on the size requirements set by each airline for personal items. Most of these weekender bags are carry-on-approved (for the overhead bin), but it’s always best to check the airline’s website for their specific luggage dimensions. If you can fit the weekender bag underneath the airplane seat, it can be considered a personal item.

Some weekender bags we tested come with built-in organizers designed for packing items like shoes or suits. Depending on the items you’re packing, you can place everything in the main compartments to see how the items fit together, and if you need to create more space, you can adjust your packing strategy by rolling your clothes or using packing cubes to maximize the amount of space inside.
