It’s no secret that at WanderLuxe, we’re all about going on long trips. When you make a new destination your temporary home for a few weeks or months, it gives you a chance to explore beyond the usual tourist destinations and really immerse yourself in the culture. That said, there’s something to be said for taking mini getaways every now and again. Whether you’re getting away for a night or the entire weekend, it allows you to escape everyday life without a major investment of time or money.
The only problem with smaller trips is, it can be hard to know which bag to take. It’s too long to take just your handbag, but you’ll look like Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie in ‘The Simple Life’ if you bring an entire suitcase. The solution? A stylish overnight bag that’s big enough to hold all your travel essentials. Here are 8 of our top picks:
