Christian Kimber Weekender Bag, Chocolate

A weekender is judged on the third trip, not the first. Whether the zip still runs, whether the handles have stretched, whether the base has gone soft.

This one is handmade in Milan from Italian leather with wide zips, and handles long enough to carry on the shoulder over a coat. Pockets inside and out, so the things you need at a counter are not at the bottom under everything else.

Two nights, comfortably. Three if you are disciplined about shoes.
