Looking for something a little more luxurious? We love this timeless leather weekender that comes with brass hardware and cotton lining. "I really love the timeless, expensive look of [this] leather bag. It’s on the pricier side, but well worth the investment in my opinion. The leather looks worn and lived-in, giving it that vintage aesthetic. And if you know me, I love to “borrow” my dad’s leather goods, so this is right up my alley," says Associate Fashion Commerce Editor Stephanie Meraz. While the dual handles are sturdy enough to hold no matter how heavy your bag is, it also comes with a removable shoulder strap when you need to free up your hands.

This bag has a wire frame beneath the zipper, so it stays open without slouching while you’re packing. It has multiple pockets inside and it even has a bottom zipper that opens to store shoes. "The bag is small but surprisingly roomy, and the shell is lightweight so you're not starting out with a super heavy bag that will be weighed down with even more stuff," mentions Associate Editor, SEO Marissa Wu. The canvas outer material and nylon lining is water-resistant, so spills are easy to clean.
