Weekender bag?

[rubytue]

I feel like there is a GBCN favorite I've seen posted a bazillion times. And now I want one. Anyone know the one I'm talking about?

Otherwise, recommend your large, classy duffle-type bag that holds a couple days worth of stuff. It's totally a want bc I have luggage.

Lo & Sons OG bag?

Lo & Sons OMG or OG?

[v]

You're probably talking about the OG/OMG. I have the OMG, which is the smaller of the two, and use it as my personal item when I travel. It is not big enough for me to use instead of luggage, but the OG may be.

I have a Kate Spade Saturday Weekender bag that I do use as an overnight bag. It is cavernous and can carry many days' worth of stuff (though it has few pockets, if that matters to you). The Lo & Sons Catalina is another classic styled weekender option.

Thank you all!

[rubytue]

Ok. So the OMG is the one I think ppl talk about. But the Catalina is the style I want. Yay!!

[rubytue]

Now... How long until it goes on sale. The OMG is 20% off this weekend.

[v]

I'd be surprised if you had to wait until after Labor Day for a sale. The Catalina seems to be on sale fairly often.

The Catalina goes on sale pretty often although sometimes only certain colors. I paid $96 for the thistle color in June.

Thistle is the one I like everything purple!

I kinda wanted it for my trip this week. But yeah, not going to happen even at full price. So I'll just wait it out.

[rubytue]

The answer was I would have to wait about a week. Catalina is 30% off now.

Eta: oops. 25% off on Catalina ($90). Sale is up to 30%.

Just got the email and came here to post about the sale! Glad you saw it

[mbcdefg]

Oh man ... I could really use a new work bag for a conference next month, and I'm eyeing the Brookline and T.T.

I'd just put it on my CC, if I wasn't trying to pay it off again

How long do their sales usually last? My birthday is in six weeks so maybe I can hint around for it as a gift.

I have a rolling duffle from Vera Bradley that I love.

The email said through 9/7.

In case anyone is looking at the OG or OMG, they just came out in a grey heather cotton. I like it so much better than the nylon.

Is your bag purple? I feel like it looks purple online and mine looks gray.

But maybe it's just the lighting. I'll check again in sunlight tomorrow. This picture with the flash looks more purple that it looks to my eyes

I hate I can only post one picture at a time. This is no flash, and more how I see it. But like I said, maybe in daylight.

Mine is not as purple as on their site.  It definitely seems to have some gray in it or like it's a faded version of the online color.  Lighting does change it some.

Ok. Then I guess then did send the right one. When I first opened it, I thought "darn it, I ordered purple and they send dark gray." Then I checked all the tags and invoice and it said thistle.

carrotsmakemefat - well, I'm disappointed it isn't purple like I expected. But it is large and seems well made. At $120, I wouldn't have been happy. But at $90 it seems far better than the made in China ones that were ~$75 on Amazon and has mixed reviews on quality.

I have a Le Pliage expandable travel bag. The shape works better for me than an OG/OMG would, even though I love my Brookline for work.

Poop- I didn't really pay much attention to the color being off when I got it or I would have mentioned it. The quality is really good though on the bag and it holds a ton.

No worries. It wouldn't be an issue if I didn't buy ALL THINGS PURPLE. My other carryons are purple Delsey, so I wanted to be cool.

Side note- I just did my first 5-day trip all carry on. I know that's not much for ppl who travel for weeks with just carry on, but I typically check bc I'm lazy (and generally fly southwest)

I don't normally go here...but does the Catalina fit the standards for an airline carry on? I'm a Delta flier, if it matters.
