There’s a fine art to travelling light. As Eid al Adha beckons and long weekend getaways loom, now’s the time to start thinking about what to pack—but never without style.
Enter the weekend bag: sleek, compact, and designed to move as effortlessly as you do. Whether you’re a business traveller, laidback jetsetter, or a frequent flyer, the right weekend bag ensures you stay stylish on the move. No waiting at the baggage claim carousel–just grab your bag and go.
The perfect weekend bag doesn’t just carry your cabin essentials—it complements your look, streamlines your journey, and says something about the way you travel. Whether you’re jetting off for a city escape, heading home for the holidays, or embracing a last-minute island retreat, your luggage should work as hard—and look as good—as you do. What to look for when investing in your first weekend bag? Think sculptural silhouettes in soft leather, elevated duffels with functional compartments, and lightweight totes that don’t compromise on sophistication. A well-chosen weekend bag helps set the tone: it signals a sense of considered luxury, rather than last-minute chaos.
When travelling light, it doesn’t mean leaving behind your essentials, it’s not about compromise but more about curation and being smarter about what you take with you. Choose multi-purpose pieces that you can easily layer and opt for comfort that does not skimp on polish.
If you just can’t picture yourself yet travelling with a weekend bag, turn to celebrity style inspiration, including Australian actor and Bottega Veneta ambassador Jacob Elordi and “The Last of Us” lead actor Pedro Pascal, who have been spotted at the airports in stylish ensembles. Although air travel style has become a lost art form, these two have elevated the game with their Bottega Veneta Andiamo Maxi bags and designer-laden travel looks.
To help you on your way, Emirates Man has curated an edit of elevated bags that make a strong case for travelling light this Eid, from classic luxury labels to budget-friendly contemporary favourites that marry form, function, and style for your next escape.
