The Best Looking Weekend Duffel under $100?

June 27, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.

Everlane Men’s Weekender – $95.00

Full disclosure:  I don’t know these Everlane people from Adam.  A style tip or two came in months ago when they launched, I signed up for their email list, and then… they fell off the ol’ radar.  They’re another membership-required type of retail club, and they specialize in “luxury essentials” for under $100.  More about them here from the San Francisco Chronicle.

They certainly don’t overreach when it comes to what they offer.  T-shirts, tote bags, belts, they were doing backpacks at one point… and now, these:

Looks like more than a home run.  Grand Slam potential here.  Canvas exterior with leather handles, metal feet, and a waterproof lining.  No extra shoulder strap, but Everlane designed the straps so they’re tall enough that you can slip your arm through and carry it comfortably over one shoulder.  2244 cubic inches of space.  So not tiny, but not huge either.  They were doing free shipping at $50, but… that looks like it just changed to “free shipping on 3 items or more.”  Hm.  Shipping is $4.95.

You don’t need an invite, and all you have to do to get in is hand over your email and a few basic pieces of info about yourself.  Pretty standard stuff.  Anyone have direct experience with them?  Your take on the weekender bag?  Is there a better looking option out there for under $100?  Leave it all below.

    I have purchased several tshirts from Everlane and they are great! Great fit, great price and excellent quality. Quick shipping and a cool shopping concept. I actually just ordered a weekender bag last night and I am very excited to get it in the mail. I got free shipping because it was over $50.

    What’s the pocket situation like on these? Especially with no strap, a lack of functional pockets can turn a weekend bag into a big ol’ man purse.

    Seriously, what is with this site and duffel bags?

    I went with the LLBean one. More pockets, less expensive, and I like the cylindrical shape.

    A nice piece of luggage is often overlooked. A duffel is stylish and masculine which happens to be a lot of what this site is about. Moreover, it is difficult to find good looking ones for under $100 or that don’t look like you’re channeling your inner urban Paul Bunyan.

    This bag looks perfect. Debating on which color I should pick up.

    A lot of #menswear sites constantly promote duffel bags. Hell, Style Girlfriend just wrote an article about this same exact bag today. But it’s a nice coincidence since I’m flying across the country in a few days and I need a new duffel haha.

    These look great. If I hadn’t already picked up a weekend bag recently (the War Bag by Beckel Canvas), then I would seriously think about these. Really like the navy one. I would be interested to know where they are made, though.

    Definitely a great looking bag, though the lack of a true shoulder strap is worrisome. Walking a fine line on man-purse. I’d need to hear someone’s personal experience and feedback about the bag before taking the plunge.
    Joe, have you ever done a post about the best weekender’s out there from a value/style standpoint?

    Hey Joe,
    I was the same as you – on the mailing list but had never bought anything. I’m in the market for a bag, so I’m looking forward to hearing how these are – and as always I appreciate the alternatives that people list in the comments.

    So just to confirm you’ll buy one of these and let us know your thoughts, right…?!

    the nordstroms bag for like 60 that has been featured on here looks just as good and has a shoulder bag, picked that up and I use it for the gym and weekend trips, 65 bucks i think??

    shoulder strap*

    $100 still strikes me as a lot of money for a canvas handbag with a stripe. That leather handle looks a little flimsy from the photos, too.
    I’m beginning to regret not picking up that red trip bag from LEC a couple weeks back.

  14. LKM3 says

    June 27, 2012 at 9:18 AM

    It looks like they just made a boring ol’ bag and said “hey let’s add a stripe so everyone gets a hard-on and we can jack up the price $65”.

    The stripe just doesn’t look integrated with the design and appears to be an out-of-place afterthought.

    Bought the Land’s End Canvas bags, yup both, and just used them for a weekend away. Perfect. The Mrs. was all-over the bright red bag and made use of the extra pockets while I used the more traditional canvas and leather. Also both fit in the small overhead bin even packed to the seams. Great pickups during the LEC sale http://dappered.com/2012/06/lands-end-canvas-60-off-shoes-accessoires/. Thanks again!

    Ummm….so did GQ just totally rip off Dappered? Very strange coincidence if not.

    I like the duffel. For me though, I need the shoulder strap option if I’m gonna spend $100. Otherwise, I love it.

    But mostly, did anyone see their belts (https://www.everlane.com/collections/essential-belts-mens)? I think I’m gonna pick one of those up. Super cool.

    Hmm. I kinda like it. For the price, it’s worth it even if you only get a season or two out of it.

    Not sure where my comment went, but here goes again. Why spend $95 on a canvas duffel that’d last a year at best? Spend $195 on a real leather duffel with enough cubbyholes and style to boot. With proper care, it’ll easily last 5 years or more.

    Sold out for now, but should be back in stock in July.

    Looks like the “free shipping over $50” is back. At least for me.

    I also have been wondering about these new online exclusive retailers like Everlane and Frank & Oak. I have yet to purchase anything from Everlane, but from what I gather their philosophy is solid and so is their quality. Maybe, over time we will get more reviews and personal with price per quality of these companies. I found this interview helpful and information filled.

    I just received the olive/orange bag in the mail this afternoon. The bag size and quality are good, both adequate for the price you paid. Even the zipper is easy to zip/unzip. It looks great and seems durable for a weekend trip, although I really wish there was a shoulder strap included. What bothers me about this bag is the leather strap. Its very bland, cheap, and flimsy. Its missing minor details, such as stitching along the strip or metallic rivets. But again, you get what you paid for. Hope this helps.
