Whether you regularly travel, are taking a trip in the near future or simply like to be prepared, having a really great weekender bag on hand is an absolute must. Not only does this specific kind of travel bag feature a stylish and timeless aesthetic, but it’s also wildly practical and functional.
A good weekender is super roomy, with lots of interior and exterior pockets to allow for easy organization and safekeeping of important items.

A TikTok-famous doppelgänger
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars
There's a good chance you've spotted the Béis travel bag on your social media channels or out in the wild, and while it's certainly aesthetically pleasing, it's pretty pricey. Luckily, Amazon supplied us with this beautiful lookalike at nearly a fraction of the cost. This Etronik bag has the same generous bottom zippered compartment as the Béis option, along with a similar trolley strap, interior laptop pocket and three other interior pockets to keep you organized. It even has a USB port and side pockets for additional functionality. You can get it in one of 30 colors in two sizes.
Promising review: "I got this for a gym bag, but it has become my bag for everything. I love how much I can fit in this bag. I love the shoe compartment. I also love the small bag that comes with it. I love the lining on the inside. I also love that there is an inside pocket and the cord for charging through the bag. It does have a luggage strap which works great for airport travel. It is a soft shell bag so it does not stand up as pictured when not filled. The quality is great and is very easy to clean. This bag is water resistant so great for daily use. I love the outside side pockets! It is great for organizing items. The price for this item is amazing!" — Baileigh

A designer-lookalike duffel-style weekender bag
Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars
This beauty reminds me of a classic Herschel duffel bag in the best way, especially when comparing the prices! It's made with water-resistant material that will keep your belongings dry regardless of the weather. It has six internal and two external pockets along with a trolley sleeve to make travel days a breeze. It's available in a wide variety of colors and has two top handles and an adjustable shoulder strap. It's no surprise it's so highly rated, with over 24,600 five-star reviews!
Promising review: "This fits quite a lot and slides right under the seat on the plane. I don't normally like carry-on luggage because it's hard for me to lift it into the overhead bins. This carries what I need and slips right under the seat so I don't have to lift anything. It is easy to carry and looks very nice. It comes with an extra strap for carrying cross-body or, carry by the normal handles. I'm very thankful to have made this purchase especially after traveling with it." — Nana

A vintage-style four-piece weekender bag set
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
This beauty reminds me of my beloved Paravel bag, but with an even more stylishly vintage aesthetic. It's available in a range of colors and patterns, but this cream and brown faux leather option feels super chic. It includes a toiletry bag with a clear-view window, a dopp kit and a third slim bag that can be worn as a purse or used to hold other items. The weekender bag features two adjustable and detachable shoulder straps, two handles, a card pocket and a shoe compartment at the bottom, three interior pockets and two outer pockets.
Promising review: "I wanted to wait to write a review until I had used this bag a bit. I have now done so for a few months and completely love it. I have traveled locally with the bag for a weekend and have taken it on a plane trip as well. Both have worked out superbly. I particularly love the quality of the fabric, the handles, and the stitching. And the underside compartment for shoes works out so well. The interior smaller bags are very useful and well-made. I love the colors of the bag and the striped design - very thoughtfully done. I don't think I could love this bag more and plan to purchase it in the future as a gift. I highly recommend this wonderful travel bag!" — Kindle customer

A three-piece quilted cotton weekender set
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
This one's available in a range of colors and patterns, but I am partial to this black-on-black option with a quilted exterior that makes it look much more expensive than it actually is. The set includes the weekender duffel itself, a crossbody bag and a cosmetics bag — everything you need for a nice long weekend. There is a separate compartment along the bottom of the bag, a cushioned shoulder strap and plenty of roomy pockets as well as a trolley-pass through on the back.
Promising review: "Well made and good quality. Very happy with this purchase. Arrived in time for my weekend trip the girls in Las Vegas. It was a great carry on piece, that held more than enough of what I needed for the weekend. It even had room for a few extra purchases to bring back home. Highly recommend if you're looking for a durable weekender type piece of luggage." — Tracy Adams
