Shop Voyagers™ — $99.90Free shipping · 30-day money-back guaranteeWhat size bag do you need for a weekend?
A weekend needs about 20–30 L. Voyagers™ holds 20–35 L, measures 20.5" × 9.8" × 12.6" and weighs 2.1 lb empty, so it works as a carry-on on most airlines and as an overnight bag on a road trip or train.
“This is such a smart travel bag, especially for cruises and weekend trips when I want to stay organized without carrying multiple pieces of luggage. Stylish, practical, and very functional. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend it. Five stars!”
