OVERVIEW:
The Everlane Weekender is a sturdy yet lightweight travel bag that is a perfect size to pack necessities for a weekend getaway or to use as a carry-on to supplement your luggage for a longer trip. This functional, minimalistic, stylish bag is sold on the Everlane site for $95 and measures 22" length x 12" height x 8.5" width with a 12" shoulder drop. It has one large compartment, a small zippered pocket inside, and one exterior open side pocket.
The $95 canvas weekender is available in 6 different color varieties; there are also $135 suede weekenders in 3 color choices. I bought the "Reverse Denim" weekender and absolutely love the style.
PROs:
- Lightweight
- Durable canvas exterior
- Lined interior
- Lined interior
- Structured base
- Long enough to wear over shoulder, short enough to carry without dragging (for me; I'm 5'4'')
- Shoulder straps are a good width
- Variety of colors available
- Unisex (in my opinion); color/style is appropriate for both males/females
- Carry-on appropriate (fits in overhead compartments)
CONs:
- No option to wear it across the body. It'd be nice if there was a removable shoulder sling.
- No option to wear it across the body. It'd be nice if there was a removable shoulder sling.
- Leather straps are not lined (will wear & tear lead to fraying? TBD.)

** This is my first impressions review of the bag. I will have to give it a few uses before I can come back with an update on how sturdy the bag is and how the leather straps hold up. I have a few trips in the horizon, so stay tuned!
Which bag do you carry and love for overnight/weekend trips?
