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 are a chronic overpacker who takes way too many outfits with her, then a weekender will help you stop that habit by forcing you to only take what you need. It is just large enough for two or three days worth of clothes, so you have less to carry and will not pack too much. If you are traveling via plane, this might be the perfect tote for you, because most weekenders are small enough to fit the standards for carryon luggage for most airlines. That means you can take the bag with you on the plane instead of having to check it.

You get to choose from a lot of different materials when you purchase your new favorite bag, which is great because some materials allow you to double up on your usage. A great example are high end leather weekenders, which may be able to double as a shopping tote, purse or maybe even a briefcase. A lightweight cotton one might also be great for a quick day trip to the beach, since you can fit bulky towels and plenty of sunscreen in its roomy interior.

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.

Another great thing about these bags is that they come in all price ranges. Choose a basic one if you are on a budget. If money is no object, get a luxury version that is made from high end materials that has a designer tag on it.

The handles of this type of baggage cannot be overlooked. Each one likely has two smaller handles that are perfect for carrying by hand. Most also have a longer strap that you can sling over your shoulder for easier carrying. While some stop there, others have a crossbody strap, which is much longer so it fits across your entire torso to make carrying a cinch.

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.

Great weekenders are so convenient and can be used for so much more than just a quick getaway trip. Most fold nicely to fit under your bed or in a very small section of your closet as well. With all of these features, it's no wonder so many women are investing in one.
