Many of us like to jet off at a weekend; go visit friends or family, have a romantic break or perhaps even a business trip. When on said trip you need a bag that is not too large but will hold enough so that you have everything that you may need.
For some a little suitcase is ideal. If perhaps you are travelling by car and have room to throw a suitcase in, then you will not have the issue of bulky luggage draped across your body. Soft-topped cases tend to be good for overnight bags as they squash down if not packed to their full extent, and they are lighter to carry.
Suitcases are also good if you are travelling by train as they have wheels for easy manoeuvring and will keep your belongings safe, as you are jolted around on the train. More often than not trains now have luggage racks at the end of each carriage where you can store your little suitcase whilst you sit with ease. At Very uk they have a selection of suitcases and other women’s bags in a range of sizes, opt for the smaller range and perhaps the ones that come with a toiletries bag attached; a very handy addition.
The other option is a large holdall bag that is more commonly considered to be an overnight bag. These bags tend to have handles that fit on your shoulder and of a rectangular shape. The long zip and side pockets make this style of bag very convenient. If you make sure you fold your clothes neatly and use those packing tips pressed onto you by your mother for many years, you will find that you are able to fit in what you wish to take with you.
The advantage of these bags is that they are less bulky than a suitcase and can be easily stored at your feet on busy public transport, or can be thrown in your boot without the ‘huffing’ and ‘puffing’ of trying to fit a hard suitcase into a space that will not engulf it! The other attractive aspect is the massive range of colours, patterns and styles you are able to get these bags in. At www.very.co.uk the fashionable overnight bag seems to be plain in colour with embellishments such as studs and embroidery. Do also look at their tote bags, as they will be big enough for a handy overnight bag too.
