Weekender – the perfect bag for a short trip
A weekender is the ideal companion for spontaneous short trips, overnight business trips, and weekend getaways. Compact enough as carry-on luggage, large enough for 2–3 days of clothing – at Markenkoffer.de you will find weekender bags from BRIC'S, Boss, Lacoste, Samsonite and other premium brands.
Weekenders for short trips
The classic weekender holds 30–50 liters and offers space for everything you need for a weekend: clothing, toiletries, and a book. Most models fit under the airplane seat or in the overhead compartment – perfect for city trips and short vacations without checked luggage.
Especially popular: weekender bags made of genuine leather from BRIC'S (Life series) and Boss – timelessly elegant and durable. For a sporty look, there are models made of canvas and nylon.
