With Easter around the corner and the bank holidays not far off, I’m once again on the hunt for a women's weekend bag that ticks all my boxes. It has to be utterly practical, holding everything short of the kitchen sink, but it must look good and fit into my spring capsule wardrobe, too – think A-lister, not bag lady.
It shouldn't be this hard, but finding the perfect weekend bag has been a quest of mine for years – and I know I’m not alone. Like many women over 40, I’ve spent decades lugging around everything my kids could possibly need, from nappies and bottles to snacks and sports gear. Now the kids are growing up, I’m ready to trade in my battered old changing bag for something more stylish. I need an overnight bag suitable for grown-up adventures, from weekend trips and bank holiday getaways to mini breaks and work travel.
