Traveling Soon? You’re Gonna Need A Weekender Bag

If you’re anything like Rihanna, you’re probably on the move all the time (her travel seems to be more vacation thank work but whatever). But even if you’re not, chances are you’re planning on going somewhere this spring–even if it’s just down the street to grandma’s house. Either way, you’re definitely going to need a weekender.

The weekender is a bag full of promise; it’s big enough for a complete weekend wardrobe change, but small enough to prevent you from packing everything you own, as many fashion lovers are wont to do. (So many choices, am I right?) Having a weekender is also par for the course when traveling as an adult. Rolling up to Gate 34F with a pillow and a five carry-on bags was fine as a 12-year-old, but once you’re into your 20s and beyond, it’s time to up your game a bit.

Plus, this is an excuse to buy a brand new bag without having to feel like you’re buying a purse again. The weekender is a whole different enchilada, so your purchase will be 100 percent valid, in our eyes at least. Take a peek at eight of our favorite weekender bags that are available right now, and bon voyage!
