12 best weekend bags for a practical and stylish getaway

I’m a fashion editor. These are the best weekend bags for your next short trip - (Harriet Davey/The Independent)

As someone who loves to travel, having the right equipment is important, so it’s essential to find the best weekend bag. While Nere and Away are my go-to suitcase brands, I set out to find stylish, practical overnight bags ideal for family visits, UK staycations, and European city breaks.

After testing dozens on my trips, I found incredible options tailored to every travel style. Organised travellers will love Antler’s multi-compartment design, while business travellers seeking luxury luggage should look to Carl Friedrik or July for long-lasting appeal. For a personalised touch, Katie Loxton offers initial-adorned weekender bags, and if you want a statement style, Damson Madder’s polka dots and Nobody’s Child gingham iteration seamlessly double as chic work totes.
