Men's weekend bag

The men's weekend bag, from Oxford to genuine leather

A men's weekend bag needs to hold two or three nights' worth of belongings and stay light luggage. Where the listing gives a capacity, bags made for the weekend range from 30 to 54 L, to be carried by hand, over the shoulder or sometimes on the back. As for materials, you will find them in Oxford, nylon, polyester, canvas, PU or faux leather, and genuine leather for the most expensive.

• The 30L men's gym bag with shoe compartment (£89.90), in Oxford, with wet and dry clothes separation: its listing designates it for trips of 2 to 4 days.

Fabric weekend bags: Oxford, nylon, canvas

Between £34.90 and £74.90, most fabric weekend bags have a shoe compartment: the two large Oxford bags (£34.90 and £39.90), the Oxford fitness bag carried by hand, over the shoulder or on the back (£39.90), the one from £63.90 to £70.90 in six colours, and the nylon bags from £59.90 to £69.90, the most expensive with carrying straps. The canvas bag (£74.90) blends polyester and cotton, in six colours, for a more casual style; the PVC one is the same price.

The leather weekender

In PU leather or faux leather, according to the wording of each listing: PU leather with a shoe compartment (£39.90), the large PU leather format (£49.90, brown or black), the Business Black in faux leather in small or large size (£59.90 to £74.90), the foldable PU leather bag with suit storage (£69.90) and the Multifunction in faux leather (£89.90), designed for suits. The geometric-pattern bag (£49.90) and the retro crocodile-effect bag (£54.90) are listed as PU, with no further detail.

In genuine leather, for a more luxurious men's weekend bag: the luxury leather bag (£99.90), the Prestige in 45 or 55 cm (£109.90 to £139.90), the Premium and the small format (£129.90), then the black cowhide bag and the large genuine leather model (£189.90). The vintage in genuine leather and waxed canvas is £149.90. The whole selection is on our page leather travel bag.

The Canvas Chic (£79.90 to £99.90), the retro bag with leather straps (£89.90) and the waxed canvas and leather bag (£109.90) combine canvas and leather, and their listing doesn't specify which. None of our listings claims full-grain leather.

Which weekend bag should you choose?

• For a sporty weekend: a shoe compartment that keeps trainers away from clean clothes, like the 45L at £29.90 or the 30L in Oxford. See our sports bags.
• For a business trip or a weekend in town: compartments that keep your shirt and jacket neat, the 53L convertible suit bag or the foldable PU leather bag.
• To take it into the cabin: only a bag whose listing says so, like the 40L in PU; otherwise see our Men's cabin bag.
• For a smart weekend in genuine leather: from £99.90 to £189.90, in several sizes.
• For a weekend on a small budget: the 45L waterproof bag, at £29.90.

For weekend getaways, think about the men's wash bag, which fits in the main compartment, and keep documents and your charger in the outer pockets when the bag has them.
