Which bag? (weekender again)
Permalink Closed

Ok- I just got back from NYC (visited bf who has moved there.)  I borrowed my friends ugly duffel for the weekend- but I would like to have my own bag.  Which do you prefer?


Floral Print Weekender


$29.99- I like this, not crazy about the fact that it is printed, but it is really cheap compared to the other bags I like!


Boat and ToteBoat and Tote


I love this!  It is more my style than the first bag- but so much more expensive- it is $89!   That is so much.  In either red or pine green (which is better??)   It is L.L. Bean.  Do they ever have codes?


This bag is pretty nice too- but it is $89 too (!) and has no across body strap.  I like it in a different way than the bag above (I like the one above for more rustic outfits- this one is more refined.)


Classic II Overnight Tote


Anyone have any opinions/own these bags/have other options?  I'm looking for something basic- and I tend to favor reds, navys, dark greens (think gentlemen's cigar room), and browns/blacks if they are interesting.

I love the first one, girly but the olive helps keep it from being too frilly.

I like #1. I think the print is fun and makes the bag less boring.

The first bag is great!  I just love stuff that is a little different like that, I don't like blending in with everybody else.  What a good price too!  Where is it from?

I have #1 but in a maroon color but I think you should get the 2nd one ... the one you really like. Sure, it may be more expensive than the other 2 but you can get lots of use out of it and I'm pretty sure you'll keep it for a long time. It'll pay for itself if you travel alot or use it every so often. I'd choose the red one.

Definitely number 2.  And considering that you will have it forever, $89 isn't all that bad.  I like the red too.


Number 3 is nice, but I HATE traveling without a shoulder strap, and it looks like stuff would get jumbled up inside.

I know it's impractical but I like the last one best.

i like either 2 or 3, though the dirt issue is a concern. either way definitely spend the money. i paid around $90 for a weekender and at the time i thought it was pricey, but i've gotten so much use out of it. plus  looking put together always makes me feel a little bit better when i travel, so invest in a bag you love.

Has anyone seen the L.L. Bean bags in person?  Of the two, I would probably get the second one, though still not sure of red or green.

I like the first one but as weekend commuter to NYC for the past year and a half a small bag is great for the summertime but in the wintertime you may want something a bit bigger. Go to TJ maxX they usually have a great selection of bags I got a Diane Von Furstenburg satchel with wheels and a pulley it is great!

I like the first one, too.  Plus, you'll always be able to tell it's yours!
