13 weekender bags for quick getaways from Singapore
To help, we’ve put together a list of the sturdiest, prettiest, and most functional weekender bags around.
Holiday travel is upon us and we can’t wait! Whether you’re heading somewhere domestically or internationally, a weekender bag is an absolute must-have for any sort of flyer.
For one thing, they’re versatile. If you’re travelling budget, a weekender bag is a quick and easy carry-on and can be stowed easily under most airplane seats. If you’re travelling on a full-cost carrier, you can check the bag in, too, or it can qualify as a personal item. Either way, win-win for you.
However, unlike regular bags, weekender bags must meet certain criteria to be considered worthy of purchase.
The best types of weekender bags do two things: they’re stylish and they’re functional. Because they’ll go almost everywhere with you, they’ll need to be sturdy and have enough space to fit everything you need.
