Weekender Bag - Men's Essential Accessories - Duffle Holdall Carryall Leather Canvas

About this video

Weston teaches men how to select and use weekender bags as essential travel accessories. She explains the key features to look for—clean design, quality construction, airline compliance, and minimal branding—and discusses when weekender bags are and aren’t appropriate to use. Weston then reviews several weekender bag options across different price points, highlighting her top recommendations and the specific features she values in each.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that weekender bags should have clean, classic designs with high-quality construction, meet airline carry-on requirements, and avoid excessive logos or embellishments
• Weston recommends using weekender bags only for short trips up to a week, and advises against using them as gym bags, work bags, everyday bags, or garment bags
• Weston recommends sticking to classic colors like black, brown, or gray, and suggests matching your backpack color to your weekender for a cohesive look rather than matching either to your outfit
• Weston highlights specific weekender options she recommends, including Frank Clegg’s signature travel duffel, Killspencer’s Weekender 3.0, Mulberry Clipper, Combatant Gentleman’s black leather duffel, and Everlane’s dipped weekender
