Lo & Sons Cambridge Weekender Bag

Shopping for a quality functional weekender bag can be a trying pursuit. The size and durability of a duffel is not necessary, but a backpack does not provide quite enough room. Sometimes just a simple medium-sized bag for a few days of essentials is all you really need. Enter the Cambridge weekender bag.

 

Bag designer group Lo & Sons developed a simple yet sophisticated luggage option for travelers who don’t care to deal with the frills some modern day bags can harbor. The Cambridge-style weekender bag is a sleek and less boxy version of a briefcase or laptop bag, with casual accents to remove the formality from the idea. The Cambridge is not meant to be carried to work, after all; it should be saved for those long weekends in the Hamptons or the 48 hours spent visiting family in the next town over.

 

Available in navy blue, the Cambridge features an extendable strap to mimic the carrying ease of a messenger bag. Interior pockets store personal items like keys, toiletries, magazines, charging cords, mobile phones and laptop computers up to 15 inches in size.

 

The Cambridge is also a suitable carry-on bag: A sleeve on one side of the bag can slide onto the handles of a rolling suitcase to securely form one unit of luggage. Waterproof wax-coated twill prepares the bag for any situation, rain or shine.

 

Lo & Sons sells the Cambridge bag on its website for $348.
