The best overnight bags for your next staycation
Practical and sophisticated, take your next quick trip in supreme style
The outlook doesn’t look great gents. While a few weeks ago we were planning some winter sun at a far-flung escape, the list of pandemic-safe destinations is growing ever shorter and we can all tell that, at least for now, it’s probably safer to stay at home. Which isn’t to say you can’t enjoy some time away from your flat. The UK is full of excellent five-star hotels just waiting to welcome you with luxuriously cosy spaces in which to hole up for a weekend – so you’re going to need some chic luggage to match. Perfectly sized for a quick jaunt and hardy enough to last for many trips to come, here’s our edit of the best overnight bags for your next staycation.
Ettinger Pursuits Cotswolds weekend bag
Inspired by that most quintessential of English country destinations, the Cotswolds, Ettinger’s overnight bag is perfectly sized to fit all the shoes, accessories and outfits you need for an elegant weekend getaway. Crafted from strong ivory canvas and finished with waxy cowhide trims, it oozes Golden Age of travel glamour.
Charles Laurie London The Weekender
Charles Laurie London’s overnight bag may be on the pricey side but, trust us, it’s worth it. Each piece is individually made-to-order at the brand’s South East London workshop and, with a range of suede interior linings to choose from, this is truly a special piece of luggage. Made from a super soft leather with a minimalist and versatile design, you’ll turn to it again and again.
Oliver Spencer overnight bag
Rain showers are an ever-present threat when holidaying in the UK so it’s wise to invest in a bag with water repellant properties. Oliver Spencer’s nylon overnight bag offers just that – with a leather trim to keep things on the right side of stylish. It also has a roomy 45 litre capacity, adjustable shoulder strap and internal compartments to keep all your clothes and accessories organised.
Bennett Winch Weekender
The signature style from British brand Bennett Winch, the Weekender has been designed to make short-term travel as simple as possible. A series of internal pockets and compartments include a padded laptop sleeve and two waterproof compartments for shoes, gym gear and toiletries, while a concealed external pocket provides the perfect place to keep your phone and passport. It’s all housed in a durable canvas outer shell with elegant leather trim.
Mulberry zipped weekender
One of the most minimalist designs on the market, Mulberry’s lightweight overnight bag is crafted from water repellant nylon and features adjustable sides to adapt for use for everything from quick trips to the gym to long weekends away. Modern, clean and urban, it’s the perfect solution when your usual backpack isn’t quite big enough.
