The Best Weekend Bags For A Chic City Break

Away's weekender is one of the brand's best-sellers for a reason. It opens flat to easily access your clothes, comes with a separate compartment for a laptop, and a back sleeve that easily slots over your suitcase handle. Plus, it's water-resistant.

Longchamp's Le Pliage bag is truly a classic, thanks to its minimal design, leather-trimmed details, and wide array of colourways. The same consideration has been applied to the brand's capacious travel bag. It's undeniably chic, and delightfully affordable.

If you're keen for a luxury statement, then Gucci's logo-covered weekend bag is the one for you. Printed with the brand's iconic monogram and finished with leather trims and a luggage tag, it also comes with a removable shoulder strap for hands-free travel.

For longer stays – or the perfect cabin bag – you can't go wrong with Antler's carry-on. It comes with interior compression straps so you can fit a little bit extra without struggling to zip close your suitcase. Plus, the lightweight shell, ergonomic handle, and ultra smooth 360 wheels glide through security with minimal effort.

It doesn't feature Anya Hindmarch's signature eyes motif, but there's something about the labelled compartments that is equally as playful. With ample room for a couple changes of clothes, and a separate pull-out pouch for liquids, you'll easily find your travel essentials while en route.

Paravel's cream-coloured, canvas duffle bag is not only water-resistant, but it's also consciously made from recycled materials and vegan leather. There's a internal zip-pocket for smaller valuables, and a two-way zip fastening along the top.

A supersized version of Métier's much-loved Market tote, the 'Weekend' is roomy enough to hold all your travel essentials. Inside the zip closer is a detachable pouch that can be worn as a shoulder bag, while the ergonomic, top-handle straps sit comfortable on your shoulder.

There's a bygone elegance that's captured in Globe-Trotter's carry-on suitcase. Crafted from the brand's patented vulcanised fibreboard that's lightweight and durable, the case is finished with sophisticated leather accents and carbon-steel locks for added security.

With a roomy interior that's similar size to Monos' carry-on luggage, this weekender is both sleek and highly functional. It's made from easy-to-clean, water-resistant vegan leather and features a lower section for shoes, a dedicated compartment for a 16" laptop, two side pockets for a compact umbrella and water bottle, a trolley sleeve that can be converted into a pocket, and a drawstring bag for laundry. What more could you need?

Rains' minimal weekend bag goes with absolutely everything. It's made from a waterproof fabric that easily wipes clean, and features side compression straps and a handle wrap for comfort.

Smythson's weekend bag is consciously made from Econyl regenerated nylon and finished with luxe leather trims. It comes in two sizes to suit overnight or weekend stays, and features an external zip pocket to easily access your passport, phone, and AirPods on-the-go.

The suitcase that needs no introduction, Rimowa's polycarbonate cabin bag is a fashion statement in itself. The multi-wheel system effortlessly glides through security, and the interior features adjustable dividers with the brand's patented compression system.
