Friday's Fresh Picks: Perfect Bags for Weekend Getaways

Friday, May 15, 2015

The summer travel season is just around the corner, and if you're like I am, you've got some weekend trips planned.

Weekend getaways call for a specific sized bag that's just right for a few days worth of clothes, shoes, toiletries, and accessories. You don't need a bag that's too big, and you definitely don't want one that's too small.

In this week's Friday's Fresh Picks, I am sharing a few of my favorite (and perfectly proportioned) bags for quick weekend jaunts.

H&M Weekend Bag, $99

This canvas bag is not only functional but it's chic as well. With double handles, leather details, and raw edges at the top, this weekender features a fold-over flap with a magnetic enclosure. Its interior is lined and features a zippered inner compartment.

Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bag, $98 (on sale now!)

Five inner pockets and an exterior zip pocket will keep all your must-haves organized and in their place. There are 2 back pockets that are ideal for passports, boarding passes, and ID cards. This roomy, carry-on compliant bag is roomy enough to hold all your weekend necessities and then some. And...it's machine washable!

Sole Society LACIE Oversized Vegan Weekender, $85

This ultra-roomy weekender looks expensive but doesn't have a matching price tag. For under $100, you get a gorgeous soft vegan leather bag that will take you and all of your essentials through a weekend.

Herschel Novel Duffle Natural Hemp, $130

Got an active weekend planned? This sporty tote is perfect for the occasion. Features a lightweight design and a crossbody strap for easy lugging. And it's available in 31 different colors.

Canvas Weekender Satchel, $80

This bag had me at "Hello". I mean, seriously, look at the size of it and the classic red and white combination I'm pretty sure I need this bag in my life, and then I need to schedule a few more weekend getaways so I can put it to good use.
