Your New Travel Buddy
The Bag You Need
4,632 of you told us in our co-creation questionnaire that finding the perfect bag feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Too big, too small, too fragile, or just plain ugly. There always seems to be something off. Thanks to your input, we've designed the ideal travel buddy for your next (long) weekend adventure.
Cabin-Ready
As the name suggests, the Weekend Bag is just the right size for a 48 to 72-hour trip. Three pairs of pants, three pairs of socks, a pair of jeans, three T-shirts, a jumper plus a few bits and pieces like that book you won't actually read. We've optimised the dimensions to maximise space while sticking to the stingy reality of carry-on regulations: 47 cm long, 30 cm wide, and 21 cm high.
Tough French Fabric
We've all seen those flimsy bags that fall apart after a few uses. Not this one. We chose a super tough, 100% natural cotton canvas, woven in France by Telatex. This canvas is a workhorse, reinforced at the bottom for extra durability.
Rock-Solid Handles
Strong fabric is just the start. We also reinforced the handles with cross-stitching and added an adjustable shoulder strap. Whether you carry it by hand or over your shoulder, this bag isn't going to let you down.
Pocket Power
Pockets, pockets, and more pockets! We've got you covered with a big exterior pocket for easy access and a smaller one inside. Both secured with zippers. Metal on the outside, nylon on the inside for extra durability.
Built to Last
We didn't skimp on the details. This bag is as solid as they come. Cross-stitched handles, top-stitched seams with thick cord thread, shock-absorbing foam in the base, metal main fastener, and a water-repellent canvas. Rain? No problem. This bag's ready for anything.
Three Colours to Dye for
By popular demand, the Weekend Bag comes in three intense colours. Indigo with ecru straps, ready for New England. Military green with sand straps, the adventure awaits. Plain black for elegant simplicity. Which one's for you?
Easy Maintenance
Skip the washing machine—it'll do more harm than good. For marks, a cloth with soapy water should do the trick. For anything more stubborn, head to the dry cleaners.
It's in the Bag
That's all there is to it. Our Weekend Bag is the perfect luggage for short to medium trips. More practical than a tote and more compact than a suitcase, it's just what you need for 48 to 72 hours of stylish adventuring.
