Pack It Tight, Size It Right
Your perfect weekend or overnight bag should fit all you need for a two to three-day trip. Going someplace sunny? Most warm weather clothing takes up less space and you can travel lighter!
Create your own packing system with our range of duffles, totes, pouches and crossbodies to travel light for the journey and exploring your destination.
Your Travel Bag
Our Weekender offers plenty of room to fit a few days of outfits, toiletries, shoes, tech essentials and essentials you don’t travel without. Designed for maximum space and minimal weight, it can function as your overnight bag, carry-on, and duffle bag for travel. If you’re packing a roller carry-on, our Weekender features a trolley sleeve for effortless airport navigation.
Your Exploring Bags
Expand your packing space with our best-selling Day Tripper tote to stash everything you need for the way there and room to pick up souvenirs for the trip home. This versatile tote is lightweight enough to comfortably carry all day and folds down to pack in your suitcase.
Prefer a Backpack design? Our Keep It Light Nylon and Le Bébé diaper bag are the best backpacks for one bag travel. With side pockets, laptop sleeves, comfortable padded straps and exterior zipper pockets, our backpacks offer all-day comfort and convenience. Both feature trolley sleeves to securely attach to your rolling suitcase, making travel days a breeze.
Running out with just the essentials? Throw on a Hip Pack and stay hands-free wherever you wander. It’s the perfect crossbody bag for traveling, keeping your passport, phone, and travel essentials close by without weighing you down.
Your Favorite Travel Bag Features, Your Style
Keep your travel stress-free by staying organized and getting the right bags for your journey.
Splash-Proof® Water Protection
When you’re landing in tropical climates or planning on enjoying the beach, lake, or pool, you’ll want some water protection from unexpected drizzle or water splashes. Our Weekender features DWR protection in case of light showers or splashes.
For more water protection to protect your belongings, pack it with Pouches! Our leak-proof Splash-Proof® pouches keep all your travel essentials organized and easy to find. Use a pouch as a toiletry bag, organizer bag, or wet bikini bag.
Pouches keep your belongings on the outside protected from any leaks and spills and keep your messy things like sweaty clothes and wet gear contained inside. Leaked sunscreen? Spilled drinks? Sand everywhere? Splash-Proof® is easy to clean—just wipe it right off.
Internal and External Zipper Compartments
Look for bags that have thoughtful pockets where you need them. Use the interior pockets for more valuable items like your wallet or keys. Use the exterior pockets for things you need to grab quickly.
Bonus! The interior pockets on our Splash-Proof® bags also help you separate dirty and clean items or wet and dry stuff. Our Day Tripper bag has two interior zipper pockets—stash your phone in one pocket and sunscreen in the other to keep them separated in case of spills.
Durable & Lightweight
When you’re traveling for just a few days, you want to bring the maximum amount you can carry and minimal weight. Our Keep It Light Nylon and Splash-Proof® bags are lightweight and packable, so you start your trip with less baggage.
What to Pack: The Beach Weekend Essentials
It’s time to get packing! Traveling light (and not overpacking) requires time and preparation, so aim to choose clothing items that are versatile and that can be worn more than once.
Edit your outfits ruthlessly and try to avoid packing “just in case” items. If you really need something, you can usually buy it at your destination.
Lightweight Sundresses: Always a great choice. You can wear them from day to night, and they take up barely any room in your bag.
Pareo: The ultimate multitasker. Wear it as a scarf in-flight, use it as a beach blanket, throw it on as a coverup, and wrap it into a casual wrap dress.
Swimsuit: We never leave home without one!
Anything Linen: Button downs and matching sets make getting dressed easy breezy.
Sandals: Look for styles that you can dress up or dress down.
Day Tripper Tote: Your essential everyday tote that can be used for the way there and at the beach or cabana.
Tech & Entertainment: Stay connected on the go. Bring your phone charger and cable, portable battery pack, headphones, E-reader or book and pack them all in a pouch to keep them organized and protected.
Pouches: Organize your weekend with pouches! Choose from a variety of sizes, from a Cutie and Mini Pouch to stash in your tote, a Small Pouch for your swimwear, sunscreen and beach items, and a Mid Pouch for your post-beach change of clothes. You can use our MAX pouches to pack larger, bulkier items like pants, and light sweaters.
Dopp Kit: Our Pouches can be used as a Dopp Kit, but if you need a bag with a bit more structure, our Dopp Kit and Cabin Crew Kit are both easy to clean and the best travel make up bags to fit all your toiletries. Remember the TSA 3-1-1 rule for carry-on: liquids must be 3.4 ounces or less, all fitting in one quart-sized clear bag. If you have TSA pre-check, the rules still apply but you typically do not need to remove your liquids from your bag.
Beach Hat: Look for hats that are foldable and packable. Trucker hats are a versatile and easy-to-pack option, too.
Reusable Water Bottle: Great for taking on the plane and at your destination.
