This stylish travel bag claims to have the capacity of a carry-on suitcase
If you ask me, the worst part of any trip (aside from going back home to reality) is the packing. Not only am I a last-minute packer, but somehow, I always pack more way more than I need to. Yeah, I’m that one friend that tries to pack their entire closet into three large tote bags for a three-day getaway — and that’s not including my purse. And while the goal is to look super stylish on a relaxing vacay, I ironically always look like a stressed-out bag lady at the airport.
For this upcoming Canada Day weekend, I’m looking to change things up with a new travel bag that caters to both travel and style. One bag on my radar is The Weekender by Away.
A sleek and modern take on the classic top-handle travel bag, The Weekender features a durable leather base and accents, and detachable padded shoulder strap. Best of all, the bag is said to have the same capacity to an average-size carry-on luggage! And to help you back literally everything you need, the bag also features zippered interior and exterior pocketing, a 15” laptop pocket and — the true seller for me— a fully lined shoe compartment. The Weekender is available in three versatile colours: Black, Olive and Natural.
Shop it: $345, Away
While I decide what colour I want, I’m also keeping my options open to other styles. If you’re like me and are in need of a stylish travel bag for this upcoming long-weekend, through my picks below.
