Jet Set: The Best Weekenders for Fall Trips
Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe Weekender Travel Bag
The Lo & Sons Catalina is something of a travel industry icon, and for good reason. I first came across this bag years ago, before I became a travel editor, when a very stylish friend hauled hers around all summer long, somehow managing to fit everything she could possibly need for several summer days in its sizable main compartment. It was the bottom zippered pocket, however, that really got my attention—to be fair, this is now par for the course with many travel bags, but at the time, I found it to be one of the most incredible feats of jet-set accessory engineering I had ever seen. A whole separate space for shoes, where you don’t have to worry about them touching or getting in the way of the rest of your belongings? It called to my inner germaphobe on a cellular level. I finally got my hands on one a few years ago, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s definitely more structured and doesn’t have quite the amount of space as something like the aforementioned Rothy’s bag, but it’s still plenty roomy,.
