When a hard shell suitcase fails you, a duffle bag is your next best friend. There are a variety of reasons why a duffel or weekender bag should be preferred over a bulky piece of luggage, particularly on a short trip. After all, a quick weekend getaway necessitates packing light, and a duffel bag, with its typical medium size, can hold just the right amount of outfits for a weekend getaway.
A duffle bag is especially useful on plane rides, where the small overhead bins tend to fill up quickly with other passengers' luggage. Because these bags are made of a sturdy yet pliable material, they will fit easily into a crowded compartment. For fashion-conscious travelers, there are a plethora of iterations of a duffle bag to suit whatever your taste may be. Still not convinced? Keep reading to see a selection of chic designer duffle bags that will undoubtedly become your next travel companion.
