Choosing A Weekender Bag For Women

By Evelyn Walls


Sometimes, no matter how well you think you are handling life's little stresses, you need a timeout. Everyone needs to recharge their batteries sometimes, and a quick weekend trip out of town to Delaware or anywhere else, may be just what you need. If you only have a large, bulky suitcase and it is far too big for a weekend, then a weekender bag for women is right for you.

If you do not know what a weekender bag is, it is smaller than a suitcase but still large enough for two or three days worth of clothing and toiletries. It does not allow you to overpack, which is great because you will not have to lug so much around. Another great feature is that most are small enough to carry on as luggage, so there is no more waiting at the airport for your luggage to arrive, and no risk of lost or damaged bags either. This is great for trips by plane or for business travelers as well who value their time and do not want to check their luggage.

There are quite a few materials to choose from when you are looking at the various types of weekenders on the market. Some are so handy that you may even be able to use them for other reasons besides a weekend trip. For example, that really upscale leather weekender might double as a briefcase or a shopping tote for your next retail therapy sessions. The thinner canvas ones may also be good as a shopping tote, or pack it with towels and sunscreen and take it to the beach.

You also get to choose from a variety of colors to suit your liking and personality. Get anything from fluorescent bags that can be seen from far away to a more subtle neutral color or just about anything in between. Go for plain and simple or opt for a wild print to really get creative and show off your style.

Whether you like your bags to come from a design house and made of luxury materials, or prefer more basic materials, there is something for everyone in this category of women's handbags. Just set a budget for yourself and choose accordingly.

As for utility, good weekenders have plenty of that, especially when it comes to straps. Most come with two carry handles for taking your tote by hand. Many also come with a longer strap for slinging it over your shoulder. Still others come with a much longer crossbody strap that allows you to carry it across your body to help distribute the weight when walking.

Crushed shoes are no fun, so if this is an issue for you, try finding a weekender with a separate shoe bag or compartment, which can prevent that from a happening. If you carry small items like jewelry with you, perhaps a tote with a pocket or two would help keep it separate from the clothes.

Weekenders really help you keep your overpacking habit at bay while also still giving you ample room to take only what you need. They have many other uses and take up very little room when not in use, making them a great investment for many of your baggage needs.
