Womens Leather Holdalls and Duffle Bags

Womens leather holdalls are the perfect companion while travelling or even for when you are going to the gym, our leather holdalls are made from a range of high quality materials and are available in small, medium and large sizes. These ladies leather holdalls are an excellent way to carry all your essentials. A weekend bag is a large size holdall which would be used for carrying clothing and footwear over a short stay period. The classic holdall style is squarer with a rectangular base and is usually smaller than a weekender bag and last but not least a duffle is a longer and cylinder shape bag with a zip closure.

The best weekend bags for your next mini break

However you're travelling, do it in style!

Our pick of the most stylish weekend bags are ideal for taking on one, two or three-night trips. They come in all shapes and sizes: a travel backpack is great for going hands-free, a wheeled bag is easy to transport, and a tote is great if you're looking for something to use at the beach.

Each of these bags is as durable as it is chic, meaning you'll be able to take it away with you for years to come.

How we choose the most useful weekend bags

Our writer is a seasonal traveller with experience living aboard and solo backpacking. This means she knows exactly what to look for when finding the perfect travel luggage. She spent weeks trying bags for practicality, materials, weight, style, and ability to fit items such as multiple shoes and laptops, paying close attention to standout unique features such as shock-proof casing and separate shoe compartments.

The best weekend bags for your next trip

Katie loxton cheltenham garment weekend bag.

Our list simply wouldn't be complete without a Katie Loxton bag, and this large handbag-style option makes an ideal city break accessory.

It should maintain its shape for years to come, but it's standout feature is its ability to become a garment bag for hanging dresses or trousers for a special occasion. This is an ideal pick if you're travelling for a wedding.

It's available in multiple colours and can be personalised with initials for a thoughtful gift.

Fjällräven Weekender Holdall

Well-known brand Fjällräven never fails to create a durable, long-lasting bag, and this weekender is no exception.

Offering a 30L capacity and heavy-duty handles, the bag can be worn in three ways: crossbody, hold-all or backpack. The expandable front compartment is handy for keeping passports and phones — it looks small but can contain a lot.

Helly Hansen Stockholm Backpack

This Helly Hansen option makes the ideal unisex present for travellers or a travel-to-work bag. The roomy main compartment can be adjusted at the opening of the roll-top bag — it's a great pick for those travelling on public transport or by bike.

Pro Series 40L Duffel Bag

Ideal for athletes, this duffel bag offers a wide range of unique features, including an anti-microbial odour-reducing lining (ideal for your workout clothes), a stain-resistant coating, and sweat-reduction technology.

The organised internal storage compartment includes a shock-absorbent laptop pocket. If you plan to travel with sports gear or equipment, this is the bag for you.

Stubble & Co The Weekender

Stubble & Co's top-quality weekender bag boasts a premium leather handle, detachable and adjustable shoulder straps, a luggage sleeve, and more.

It is ideal for city breaks, country breaks, and those travelling with a laptop. Coming in two sizes (40 l and 60 l), packing will be made easy.

Fiorelli Anouk Backpack Black One Size

The Anouk backpack by Fiorelli is one of the brand's best-selling styles. Available in two styles, it boasts adjustable straps and is ideal for travellers wanting a large, stylish backpack.

The internal padding divider pocket is large enough to fit a laptop, while the outside back zip pocket is ideal for keeping important documents such as passports. It also works day-to-day as a great option for commuters.

STM Dux 30L Premium Tech Backpack

Ideal for technology, the Dux backpack makes packing easy. Its unique design includes removable, positionable hook-and-loop internal sleeves, a portable pouch, and side and front-opening pockets.

This backpack will fit a 17-inch laptop, and boasts a water-resistant hard shell covered by padding. It's a great pick for keeping belongings safe in rough weather.

Antler Chelsea Weekender

Made to fit all your weekend essentials in one place, Antler's Chelsea weekend bag is an excellent holdall.

Our favourite feature has to be the shoe pocket, allowing you to separate your footwear from the rest of your clothes.

There are also leather details and a padded pocket for those who need to keep their tech close.

Eastpak Stand+ Duffle Bag

For a weekend bag that's lightweight, does what it says on the tin, and is versatile enough to use on a mini-break and to carry your gym gear, we love Eastpak's Stand+ style.

It folds away easily and comes with a compact pouch for no-fuss storage whilst not in use, and it's the ideal cabin-friendly size if you need something that will fit within the guidelines of most airlines.

Kono Travel Duffel Bag with Cosmetic Bag

Looking for a cheap weekender with all the features of a designer bag? Try Kono's highly praised duffle bag that comes with a host of things to love.

It's water-resistant, contains a wet and dry bag to separate items easily, and you can unzip the bottom to expand the bag. The holdall has a trolley attachment strap on the outside, and it has a matching cosmetic bag for you to pack all your beauty products in one place.

Aerolite Ryanair Cabin Bag

Travelling for just a night or two and need something that fits under your seat? Aerolite's Cabin Bag comes in the exact maximum allowance for free baggage on Ryanair flights.

There's a lockable main compartment and a front zipped pocket for your travel documents, as well as handles to carry it by hand or a shoulder strap to go hands-free.

Aspinal of London Boston Bag Black Pebble

For a leather weekend bag that lasts a lifetime, Aspinal of London's Boston holdall is handcrafted from fine full-grain leather with a gorgeous pebble finish.

Its soft structure and beautiful printed silk lining paired with sturdy handles and a detachable strap make it a both a practical and stylish choice.

How big should a weekend bag be?

The ideal weekend bag size depends on where you are travelling and the length of your trip. For example, if you're travelling by coach or car, we highly recommend a garment weekend bag such as the Katie Loxton Cheltenham Garment Weekend Bag (29 x 54 x 26 cm). These bags are heavier but are ideal for travelling with occasion outfits (with clothes fitting into the bag line itself).

For short-haul flights, you'll likely want a bag that fits the standard small personal size guide of 40 x 20 x 25cm; we recommend the Aerolite Ryanair Cabin Bag .

You'll likely want a slim but mighty bag such as the Helly Hansen Stockholm Backpack (15 x 30 x 45 cm) when travelling by train.

How should you pack a weekend bag?

The best weekend bags have handy packing features, such as the removable, positionable hook-and-loop internal sleeves in the Dux 30L Premium Tech Backpack . We highly recommend packing cubes for extra travel organisation!

The best weekend bags: our verdict

Finding the best weekend bag depends on each occasion, means of travel, and personal preferences such as style and organisation needs.

For sports lovers, we recommend going for a brand that designs bags with your specific needs in mind. We recommend the Pro Series 40L Duffel Bag , which features an anti-microbial odour-reducing lining.

For those looking for a stylish, classic design, we recommend the Fjällräven Weekender Holdall (or any Fjällräven bag, for that matter!).

But for business travel, you can never go wrong with an Antler bag such as its Chelsea Weekender, which has a classy design.

Two passengers on a flight sparked a backlash in China after they locked up a toddler in an airplane toilet to stop her from crying.

The incident on the flight from Guiyang to Shanghai sparked a heated online debate about how to handle crying c hildren in public spaces.

The two passengers who locked the distressed toddler in the toilet claimed they were trying to help others. However, many people on social media accused them of “ bullying ” the child and lacking empathy.

According to Juneyao Airlines, the child’s grandmother had given permission to the women to "educate" the crying child . The video showed one of the women telling the child that she could only leave the bathroom if she stopped crying.

One of the women, Gou Tingting, defended her actions, saying she wanted to calm the child and allow the other passengers to rest. Responding to the criticism, Ms Gou said she "prefers to take action rather than be a bystander" she wrote on China’s TikTok equivalent, Douyin, reported BBC News.

However, her explanation did little to quell the backlash, and her social media account has since been set to private.

“Children cannot control their emotions when they are one or two years old. What’s wrong with crying? Didn’t you cry when you were young too?” one user wrote on Weibo, reported the British broadcaster.

The incident has raised questions about how to balance the needs of parents with crying children and the rights of other passengers to a peaceful flight.

In January, Corendon Dutch Airlines announced testing adult-only zones on its flights. It confirmed reserving a seat in the child-free section in its flight from Amsterdam to the Caribbean, adding that it will cost an extra €45 rising to €100 for extra-large seats.

And while some were happy to pay to sit in an adult-only part of the plane others wondered how airlines would adequately enforce a separation from noisy children, recalling issues with old ‘no-smoking zones’ on airplanes.

The debate extends beyond flights, with " no-kids zones" flourishing in cafes and restaurants in countries like South Korea. In London, a pub’s decision to ban children sparked a debate about discrimination against parents, particularly women.

Earlier in April this year, a customer who goes by the name Kyle took to X to share a snap of the sign outside of the restaurant, which said: “Dog friendly, child free”.

The tweet went viral on X, with some criticising the restaurant for not letting children in. Others claimed that the restaurant was discriminating against women, specifically those who are with their children.

“Banning children is banning parents. This disproportionately affects women,” one wrote. “If you are more okay eating next to an animal than a human baby and family you’re an ugly person idc.”
