What exactly is a weekender bag?

The term weekender has existed since the 1920s and is a collective term for any bag that can be used as luggage with enough capacity for a few days. This practical bag can be carried around comfortably and can store everything you need for a weekend trip. You can, of course, just choose a nice leather backpack from Misuri for the weekend, but a weekender is of higher quality than any backpack and the ideal piece of luggage for a business trip. Whether by plane, train or car, the bag can be stowed anywhere and transports the most important contents for a whole weekend.

What makes a good weekender bag?

Probably the most important thing is the material: it should be robust and not wear out quickly. Models made of leather, in addition to the robustness, also give every outfit more class. The material of the inside of the bag is also important. You should pay attention to good workmanship especially around zippers and seams, so a weekender bag from Misuri is particularly suitable. Every single stitch is hand sewn! Also not to forget are the interior pockets. A small inner pocket for valuables or travel documents and a passport should definitely be inside. An outside pocket, on the other hand, is not a necessity, but always nice to have, to stow a tablet or a book and easily take it out of the side pocket during the flight.

These are exactly the features brought by the Serapian Weekender Stepan, a splayed cotton and leather weekender bag available for purchase at Misuri Shop. Compact yet roomy enough to hold your essentials, it features a zipper closure and interior compartments. The bag is made of durable and waterproof Stepan cotton. Also suitable for a short trip, is Lucas Briefcase from Misuri, a casual briefcase made of smooth vegetable tanned leather. which can be worn both on the shoulder and across the body. You can conveniently take your laptop with you on the weekend, and another two open compartments under the front flaps offer plenty of options for storing items securely and accessing them quickly. Misuri's classic yet practical style is evident in the brushed gold metal details, while the embossed Misuri Firenze logo completes Luca's Briefcase.
