The best weekend bags for your next getaway
From the best in burnished leather to the hardest-wearing holdalls, we've found the tip-top zip-up luggage you should be lugging
If you don’t have a great weekend bag, then how can you expect to have a great weekend? Where will you stash your dinner jacket, your wetsuit, or your magnum of champagne?
Okay, so maybe not every jaunt or journey will be the trip of a lifetime — but it doesn’t hurt packing as if it could be. That way, when opportunities present themselves, you’ll be primed for the best, prepared for anything and lugging luggage that couldn’t look any better. Below are the best weekend bags we've got our sights set on right now...
