What is a travel bag?

Travel bags for men and women are large, long bags for clothing and travel accessories with a short handle. These clothing bags are usually closed with a long horizontal zipper. Travel bags are part of the classic travel luggage and are the ideal luggage for a weekend trip or a relaxed trip of up to 7 days. With their generous dimensions, they offer enough space for your clothing and personal items.

An alternative name for a women's travel bag is a weekend bag or a women's weekender. These travel bags are usually a little smaller and more feminine in appearance, but do not really differ in shape. Women also generally prefer lighter and more striking colors, such as cognac brown, khaki beige and blue, but also black.

Compared to suitcases, a travel bag for women is often more flexible and lighter. It combines functionality with elegance and value. A companion for life.

What makes a good travel bag for women?

A high-quality women's travel bag embodies durability and timeless design - characteristics that make it desirable even for future generations. Our exclusive travel bags for women are inspired by the aesthetics and design of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which still shape the design of high-quality leather goods today. Travel bags should preferably be made of natural materials such as leather or cotton and have beautiful details such as leather appliqués or an inner compartment to emphasize the authentic character.

What categories of women’s travel bags are there?

In our shop we offer different categories of travel bags for women made of cotton and genuine leather. Finding the right bag can be a bit of a challenge. The following explanations should help you make your decision:

Travel bags with integrated shoe compartment:

Products of this type are not only ideal for business trips, but also suitable as a stylish sports bag. Choose a model with a shoe compartment to keep your shoes separate from the rest of your clothes. Also practical for dirty laundry.

Weekender for the weekend trip:

These compact and handy travel bags made of leather or canvas are true classics and are specially designed for weekend trips. With a volume of around 40 to 60 liters, they offer plenty of space. Some weekender models can also serve as an alternative to hand luggage on flights.

Large travel bags for longer holidays:

Our large travel bags for women are not only suitable for short trips, but also for longer adventures. If you are travelling for more than 5 days, an XL travel bag with a capacity of 60 liters is often a good alternative to a trolley suitcase. You will find a large selection in our online shop.

Which women’s travel bags for which occasion?

For business trips

For business trips with overnight stays, we recommend our smaller travel bags with a volume of 40 to 50 liters, such as the Weekender Finn or Toby. In most big cities like Berlin, New York or London, the distances are short thanks to public transport and a weekender is the perfect companion.

As a sports bag

In principle, all of our travel bags are suitable for everyday use as sports bags. We particularly recommend our travel bags with a shoe compartment on the side. This way you can pack your sports shoes separately or use the compartment for all your wet or dirty laundry.

For weekend trips

In our shop you will find a large selection of weekenders in different designs, which are perfect for a short weekend vacation or a visit to relatives with an overnight stay. Color, size, materials or design are entirely up to your personal taste. Our absolute recommendation is Weekender David (M). An absolute eye-catcher and loyal companion.

For trips up to 7 days

For holidays or trips of up to 7 days, only large travel bags with a capacity of 60 liters are suitable, such as the Steve model. You are often surprised at how much clothing and items you need when traveling. Especially since it makes a big difference whether you are traveling in summer or winter. For winter trips, trolley suitcases are therefore more suitable. These offer a larger storage volume and rolling suitcases make it easier to transport heavy winter clothing.

What features should women’s travel bags have?

Size, dimensions and capacity:

Make sure that the travel bag has enough space to store your luggage and personal items. Depending on the length of your trip and your personal needs, you can choose from different sizes. When traveling by plane, pay particular attention to the airline's hand luggage guidelines.

Material and durability:

A travel bag made of high-quality and durable material, such as robust leather, is a good choice. This ensures that your travel bag can withstand the stresses and strains of travel and is guaranteed to last long-term. With use, most leather bags develop a beautiful patina over time. Leather is slightly more expensive than canvas.

Carrying options:

Check if the travel bag offers different carrying options, such as a removable shoulder strap and handles. This way you can carry the bag comfortably and flexibly, depending on your individual preferences and needs. Installing and uninstalling the carrying strap is very easy.

Comfort and compartments:

Consider whether you prefer a travel bag for women with various compartments and organization options to keep your clothes and items organized. Our travel bags all have an inner zipped compartment for travel documents such as tickets, passports and wallets. Some bag models also offer external compartments and slip pockets. A separate shoe compartment on the side can help keep dirty shoes separate from clean laundry. Also perfect as a gym bag.

Style and designs:

Choose a travel bag or weekender that suits your personal style and preferences. We offer a variety of material options and designs to suit your individual taste and look, ensuring your travel bag is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

How do I carry a women’s travel bag correctly?

Distribute contents evenly:

Make sure heavy items are evenly distributed in your travel bag to maintain balance and avoid back pain.

Correct lifting:

When lifting your bag to a higher position, such as the overhead compartment of a train or plane, make sure you bend your knees and lift with your legs rather than straining your back.

Carrying position and transport:

Women's travel bags have handles and shoulder straps. If the weekender is not too heavy, you can simply carry it by the handle. If the load is heavy, you should use the shoulder strap to distribute the weight equally on each shoulder and reduce the strain.

Are women’s travel bags considered hand luggage?

A travel bag and sports bag are ideal as hand luggage for air travel. However, you should always check the airline's specific regulations before departure. Small travel bags, such as weekend bags for women with dimensions of up to 55 x 35 x 25 cm, should generally not cause any problems. The information in our shop always corresponds to the maximum dimensions. If a travel bag is not filled to the limit, a large part of our range should also be suitable as hand luggage.

In addition to the size, the total weight is also important. Many airlines limit hand luggage to a maximum of 8 kg. It is therefore important to make sure that the travel bag is within this weight limit.

Are women’s travel bags suitable as check-in luggage?

Yes, women's travel bags can be used as checked baggage on flights. However, we would advise against this as the bag could become dirty. If circumstances require it, we recommend looking for plastic wrap stations at the airport and having your men's travel bag wrapped in plastic wrap before dropping it off. This is not really sustainable, but it is certainly an emergency option.

It is also advisable to protect and organize the contents of your bag before checking it in. For example, use packing cubes or other organizational solutions to keep things neat and minimize potential damage.

Also make sure that the weight of your bag complies with the airline's checked baggage regulations to avoid additional fees. Find out about the airline's weight restrictions and policies in advance, as excess baggage comes at a price. It is also important which class you are travelling in. You will find information on your ticket.

Which women's travel bags for a 1 week trip?

For vacation trips of up to a week, a travel bag or sports bag with 60 liters of storage space should be sufficient. You can find many products in different sizes, designs and price ranges in our online shop.

Which women's travel bags for a 2-week vacation?

For a two-week trip, a travel bag or sports bag for women may not be the optimal option. Instead, a women's trolley suitcase with 80-100 liters of storage volume would make more sense. Unless the circumstances of the trip allow space for two pieces of luggage, in which case two travel bags with 40-60 liters would also be conceivable. For example, on road trips by car. We currently offer bags with a storage volume of up to 60 liters. However, some of our travel bags can be expanded to 80 liters if required.
