The Kid & Coe team pick the best weekender bags for short trips away with the family, from classic duffles to luxurious super soft leather.
1. The Marimekko Mono City Tote “Squashy bags win over hard shell every time when you’re travelling in Europe right now – this one is capacious and yet still fits under your seat. I use the big pocket for essentials like keys, and take my laptop, books, snacks, spare sweaters etc in the rest. Easily big enough for a weekend and I love the Unikko poppy print.” – Laura2. Clare V. Weekender “The ultimate travel bag with handles, a cross-body strap, enough room for getaway essentials and bulky blankets and snacks, in beautiful leather that looks better with wear/travel.” – Kelli3. storksak Cabin Carry-On “It’s super lightweight, easy to handle, and looks so smart! It’s got the perfect organizer compartments inside to fit everything you need for the kids when traveling: toys, spare clothes, and snacks!” – Jessica4. Herschel Heritage Duffle “I prefer traveling with soft shoulder bags so they can get thrown about with kid’s rucksacks and squeezed into our always-full car boot. We have every size of Herschel for different trips we do.” – Rebecca
5. Mansur Gavriel Everyday Soft Tote “I love the super soft leather which you can stuff to overflowing with travel necessities, and the zippered pouch is perfect for my and the kids passports. It’s as robust as it is pretty.” – Zoie6. Baggu Travel Cloud Bag “This is the most heavenly thing I’ve owned! It’s huge, it’s light, it has a front pocket and a detachable sack inside. It’s hip and functional, and perfect for kids.” – Caitlin
