Finding an ideal carry-on can make or break a trip. Whether international or domestic, being caught with a bag too bulky or too small can make the beginning and end of the adventure stressful and difficult — and no one wants to get off on the wrong foot! It’s critical for a carry-on to be sturdy, roomy and hassle-free to make getting off the ground or out of the station as easy as possible.

Everlane, a site offering high-quality goods at wholesale prices, has just the bag for your travel needs. The Weekender is the ideal combination of great design and durability, and the less than $100 price tag and free shipping make it easy on the pocketbook.

With an inside zipper pocket, an outer side pocket and a roomy interior, the bag has enough space to carry everything for a short trip. The sturdy straps are comfortable on shoulders, perfect for long lines at the airport. The bag is designed to fit under an airplane seat or in overhead storage, and manages to avoid being bulky despite the ample interior space. A reinforced flat bottom keeps the bag upright, and makes it easy to fold the bag down without losing its shape.

The look is simple, with an unassuming two-tone striped design and twill fabric. The bag is minimalist enough to not draw attention, but the classic neutral colors give it a timeless vibe that complements a comfy airplane outfit perfectly. Stuff it with all the airplane snacks, pillow and magazines you need to enjoy a long flight and the effortless bag will conceal it all.

The size of the interior is a double-edge sword, though. It can be difficult to locate items if the bag is totally full and it can become a jumble quickly. So it is crucial to strategically pack by putting frequently used items closer to the top and place important documents or small items in one of the two pockets.

Versatile, durable and attractive, the Everlane Weekender is a great budget option for the frequent traveler. It’s strong enough to stand up to the beating that comes with a long adventure, but easy enough to be convenient for a short trip. And when you get home, just collapse the bag for easy storage.
