Lately I have been doing increasingly more travelling for work. I have always owned nice travel luggage but with the bulk of my travel being between one and three nights, I have never had the justification for an appropriate weekend bag that works for a carry on.
I recently picked up a Calvin Klein weekend bag that has nicely fit my needs. It doesn't look like traditional travel luggage which is nice because it doesn't give the impression of being a tourist or traveller outside of the airport, but it still packs the same way. I have included my Allen Edmonds slippers in the photo for the sake of size reference. Savvy planning easily allows for a week of business casual and "civialian" wear, my toiletries and spare set of casual shoes. I found the CK bag to be incredibly convient because it opens wide like a doctors bag. The downside is because of the sloped top, it is difficult to efficiently fit a full-sized laptop and typically requires carrying a seperate bag for such. Because it is shoulder luggage, it can be burdonsome carrying for extended periods.
I picked the CK weekend bag up solely because I found it insanely cheaply. I was concerned that it would quickly look scuffy or simply not hold up. I can confidently say those concerns were unfounded as it has been incredibly versitile and sturdy. Despite the additional weight and burdon I would love to replace it with a full-on raw hide leather solution, but for the moment it has fully exceeded my exceptations and core needs.
