Weekenders, overnighters, duffels and holdalls. These are different types of weekend bags that men use for quick holiday getaways, no matter the destination or occassion.

Even with the different shapes and sizes, weekend bags have only one purpose and that is to fit in all the essentials that you need for a short vacation from your outfits, toiletries to swimwear and maybe an extra pair of loafers.

As one of the most coveted luxury travel brands, Louis Vuitton has a classic duffle holdall for just any occassions – the Keepall 55 Bandouliere. If the round duffle bag is not to your preference, there is also Alexander McQueen's weekend tote bag that is essentially shapeless and perfect for lazy men who want to stuff everything they need within a split second.

Alexander Wang’s convertible Explorer tote is made for those who want flexibility to swap from tote to backpack, which is handy when your shoulders are strained from the weight. For structured box shaped bags, the Marc by Marc Jacobs leather holdall is just the thing for you – classic and angular in black to match any outfit you have in mind.
