the weekender // Bags For Little Jaunts

Can I give you a hint? The big things I am cooking up involve weekends of travel here and there and everywhere. I have a long list of places that are calling my name and I am pretty much using all of my free time at work to research, research, research.  

But for right now I am just talking about the bag that I want by my side, holding all my belongings.  I tend to think too much, so disregard if I sound crazy, but there is something so intriguing about a well made, simple bag.  Taking something with essentially no pizzazz, no oomph if you will, and presenting it as something beautiful  is just exciting to me.  But I digress.  Moving on: something neutral, unfussy, and durable, those are the actual qualifications.  I've been pinning bag after bag and these are the few that really stood out.

01. Cuyana Weekender, $120 / 02. Catalina Canvas Weekender, $120 / 03. Hershel Supply Duffel, $64 / 04. Estate Herringbone Duffel, $228 / 05. Vegan Leather Duffel, $70 / 06. Everlane Weekender, $95

My favorite is the duffel from Everlane, followed closely by the Catalina.  And I mean really, don't get me started on them either, they are just chock full of simple beauty kinds of things.  

So, which are your favorites?  Does anyone else over-think pointless things (ie. bags) like I do?
