The Perfect Weekend Bags For Men and Women

Last updated: March 16, 2026 by Bianca

Being a travel blogger, I guess I don’t need convince you of the fact that I travel a lot. Working as a consultant also means I travel for much of my projects so having the perfect weekend bag for short or quick getaway is a must. Currently making the weekly rounds between London and Harry Potter’s playground in beautiful Oxford. I hope my recent weekend trips to Paris, Copenhagen, Warsaw, Edinburgh, the English countryside and many other European cities have served inspiration for you to pack your bags and head for a little break. With the right weekend bag one can quickly hop on out of the city for a little weekend R&R with minimal packing effort.

 

Those weekend trips are all about maximising the time you have for play on your getaway, and doing so means reducing the time you have to check in at airports or dragging around big bags. You want to be able to pack a carry-on and go from work to play in about as little time as it takes Lewis Hamilton to get from 0-60! That means having a weekend bag perfect for a carry-on-only getaway. Who doesn’t need an escape from the weekday grind? The Catalina weekender by Lo and Son is perfect for skipping the check-in desk and heading straight to departures. This little baby comes in a few shades but being a lover of all shades of blue, I went for Indigo, but there are a few more colours in the range if blue doesn’t get your wanderlust flowing. Reasons to love this weekender?

What Makes The Perfect Weekender Bag?

1. Compartment

iPad/kindle sleeve and room for any other gadgets you might want to tuck in there. My favourite is the compartment at the bottom, which you can use to separate any used, dirty clothes from your getaway as well as use it to separate shoes from clothes. I have sometimes used this compartment to separate clothes from all my other gadgets I travel with. All my camera accessories, GoPro, nano pods go at the bottom while clothes go in the main bag.

2. Washable

How many times have you spilled shampoo or conditioner or make-up in your luggage. I love that you can quickly throw this in the machine and have it spanking new again.

3. Simple Design

and fits so much in it. I am all about minimal packing for the weekend getaways so, I was super surprised and thankful of how much you can put into this bag. Also, perfect for those that want to do long term trips with just a carry-on. You can get so much in there!

4. Easily Customisable

This is something I haven’t done yet but I think the material is perfect to have a customised embroidery done on it. I may look into it and update this post once I get it done. Or possibly get the iron-on design with a travel quote or something. #watchthisspace
I love a bag that is both functional and super light! It definitely ticks all the right boxes for a weekender. Another plus is that you can easily roll it up on your luggage as additional luggage.

 

Below I have also provided a few altnerative covering weekend bag with wheels, both designer weekend bags and more economically priced brands. So whether you are after a weekend bag for men or women or if you are looking to get a weekend bag for lady or man in your life below are a few perfect alternative.
