The 15 Best Overnight and Weekender Bags for Women in 2022

"Listen, I love all my babies equally, but The Weekender is my tried and true," Mitchell says about this best-selling (and under $100!) bag. "This bag looks bad ass, has amazing structure, maximizes space with creative organization and is the most ideal size. We love to offer consumers compartments, pockets and spaces that can be used for a variety of reasons…whatever they feel is best for keeping them organized on-the-go." Plus, The Weekender Bag is super versatile. "I always use the bottom of The Weekender for my shoes, for example, but my mom uses it for her cosmetic and bathroom items, and my friend uses it for all her baby's stuff," she says. 

"This bag has been everywhere with me. It’s lightweight, has an adjustable shoulder strap as well as a top handle, and has interior pockets so that my stuff stays organized. Great for a quick few-day trip, this bag is just big enough to fit a few changes of clothes and two pairs of shoes at most." —Julia Marzovilla, E-Commerce Writer

"I tend to overpack when going out of town for the weekend, but this weekend tote is ultra roomy. Deep interior pockets mean I don't have to choose between my hair dryer and a pair of shoes— they're both coming with me. Plus, I feel good about using it—this bag is constructed from 12 upcycled water bottles! " —Sara Holzman, Style Director

"I haven’t met a Calpak product I didn’t love, but their classic duffel is perhaps my favorite of them all. Aside from it being an objectively attractive weekender bag, the Luka’s streamlined design doesn’t come at the expense of practical features. With a bottom compartment for shoes (one of nine (9!) pockets in total), a slit for sliding the bag over the handle of rolling luggage (for quick sprints through the airport or trudging along city streets), and a plush, lightweight, comfortable design, it’s everything you could want in a bag—and then some." —Lucia Tonelli, Social Media Editor

"This weekender bag is the perfect size for a weekend and it's lasted me through many trips home! Plus the straps are cushiony enough not to hurt through long lines." —Brooke Knappenberger, Editorial Fellow
