The Away Everywhere Bag Is the Weekend Tote Of Our Dreams
Courtesy AWAY
For us Southerners, finding a weekend bag we love is like playing a Dolly Parton album — it just speaks to us. But it can take a whole lot of trial and error, recommendations from your dearest friends, and alchemy to find our better baggage half.
Well, search no more. We've found the end-all, be-all of weekend bags (or weekday hauling-things-around-town tote), and there's even an option to personalize it with a monogram in a range of colors from metallic gold to mint.
Away's The Everywhere Bag (from $165; awaytravel.com) to the rescue. The elegantly designed bag comes in water-resistant nylon or leather in a variety of hues and includes a 15-inch pocket for your laptop, a zippered waterproof umbrella pocket, and other handy compartments. If you're traveling, it also fits most airline requirements to be carried on as a personal item (its full measurements are 16.3" x 7.3" x 10.2"). Other perks about this functional stylish bag: You can use the removable, adjustable shoulder strap as needed and we love the hidden exterior pocket to grab your phone or keys. From first use, you'll quickly discover why so many adore Away's top-selling bag.
And for those of you who need something to schlep around a little extra, but aren't looking to use a full-fledged suitcase, we love The Large Everywhere Bag (from $225; awaytravel.com), a bigger version of the original Everywhere Bag. Personalization for all Away bags runs $35 and is shipped to you in one-to-two weeks.
Last but not least, if you're looking for a vacation workhorse, we're big fans of Away's The Weekender (from $215; awaytravel.com). This canvas duffle bag measures in at 21.7" x 8.7" x 12.6" (meeting the requirements for carry-on luggage on most airlines) and has a padded laptop sleeve, exterior shoe compartment, zippered interior and exterior pockets, and more smart details.
