Women's weekend bag

The women’s weekend bag for a short stay, from £21.90 to £189.90

For two nights away from home, you need to fit a few outfits, a wash bag and a pair of trainers into a bag that stays easy to carry by hand or on the shoulder. This selection brings together travel and gym bags designed for her, in nylon, Oxford, canvas, polyester or PU leather, and a few genuine leather pieces. To work out what volume to aim for according to the length of the trip, our guide what capacity to plan for 2 or 3 days does the sums.

Bags with a shoe compartment

It is the biggest family, and the most practical: soles stay apart from clean clothes. The women’s 35L travel bag, in waterproof nylon, at £29.90, adds a space for damp items and comes in eleven colours, from lavender to burgundy. At the same price, the waterproof 45L sports bag suits slightly heavier stays. The quilted gym bag (£39.90) and the holographic 25L (£44.90), both in waterproof nylon, go from the gym to the weekend. In waterproof Oxford, the 25L gym bag and the fitness bag, which can be carried by hand, across the body or on the back, are £39.90.

The chic women’s weekender: totes, prints, leather look

For a city break, shape matters as much as volume. The stylish weekend tote, in soft PU leather with gold-tone finishes, costs £34.90 in pink, cream or black and brown. The vintage canvas and PU leather bag comes in size M or L, from £34.90 to £44.90. On the trendy prints side, the leopard or zebra nylon is £39.90, and the 28L multi-pocket leopard, in Oxford nylon, £44.90. The retro crocodile effect, in waterproof PU, has an adjustable shoulder strap (£54.90).

Large weekend bag or light format?

To travel light, the 22L cabin foldable in nylon (£21.90) packs into the suitcase, and the expandable Oxford versions in 42 cm (£32.90 to £63.90) and 51 cm (£29.90) gain room on the way back. The Boston, in waterproof Taslon polyester, at £64.90, fits under the aeroplane seat according to its product page. For a large women’s weekend bag, the expandable large-capacity nylon (£59.90) or the 65L foldable in polyester (£49.90) offer more volume. Those who take a laptop will look at the cabin bag with a PC compartment (£49.90) or the stylish 15.6-inch laptop bag, in 28 × 38 × 12 or 31 × 45 × 13 cm (£79.90 to £84.90).

Women’s leather weekend bag: reading the material properly

A leather look does not mean genuine leather. The tote, the vintage canvas one and the retro one are in PU leather. The genuine leather is found on the vintage in leather and waxed canvas (£149.90) and on the black cowhide (£189.90), two unisex pieces. The product page for the waxed canvas and leather one at £109.90 says leather without specifying. Other leather-look pieces are gathered in the collection Travel bag.

FAQs

Which trendy women’s weekend bag should you choose?

Leopard and zebra prints, the holographic and the gold-tone finishes of the tote are the most distinctive. For a bag that goes with everything, black is still the most common colour, followed by green, grey, blue and pink.

What is the best women’s weekend travel bag?

The one that matches your plans: wet/dry separation for a sporty stay, an expandable format if you bring back shopping, a PC compartment for a business trip. A soft tote is enough for a city break.

What should you put in your luggage?

Outfits rolled rather than folded, trainers in their dedicated pocket, and a women's wash bag for the bottles. Leave a little room for the return.
