Wedama Extra Large Weekender Bags for Women - Travel Duffel Bag with Shoe Compartment & Toiletry Pouch | Carry-On Overnight Bag for Gym, Camping, Hospital | Perfect for Weekend Getaways, Business Trips & Sports Activities (Black)

My 12-year old overnight bag/carryon bag that I loved recently broke and I needed a new one for an upcoming long weekend road trip. I looked at quite a few before selecting this bag. I knew that I wanted one with a separate compartment for shoes, as I really dislike packing dirty shoes with clean clothes and end up wrapping shoes in plastic bags. The other thing I was looking for was something practical, stylish and well-made. This bag really checks all of the boxes.First, it’s roomy. I haven’t packed yet, but I can tell that this will expand to hold at least 3-4 changes of clothes plus socks, pj’s, miscellaneous items, toiletries and hair styling tools.Second, it has lots of pockets and compartments. There is a large zippered pocket on the front of the bag that also is secured with 2 snaps. There is a smaller pocket on the back of the bag, perfect size for a passport, phone, wallet or other smaller items that you need to keep handy. There is a large zippered pocket inside the bag which is lined with waterproof material. Very useful for storing liquid items that might spill from getting on your clothes. There are two other in-zippered pockets to help keep things organized. There are two pockets on either side of the outside of the bag, good for holding water bottles, sunglasses or other items. One of these is more secure with a snap. Oh and the aforementioned shoe compartment - I just love this. It’s quite large. I should easily be able to get 3 pairs in this space, maybe 4 in the summer with sandals/flip flops.Third, there is a slit/opening on the back of the bag that allows you to slide this bag over extended handle of rolling luggage, allowing you to put this on top of your luggage securely without falling off as you walk through the airport. My last carryon did not have this feature so I was always picking it up off the airport terminal floor as it fell off my rolling suitcase. I’d end up having to just carry it which gets tiring if it’s packed full. The double handles secure together if you like with a snap, eliminating one strap inevitably sliding off your shoulder. It also comes with a shoulder strap with padding for comfort.Fourth, you get a free cosmetic/toiletries bag. Same material/color as the main bag. Small/medium in size and always nice to have an extra bag to keep things in.Lastly, it’s gorgeous. I initially was going to get a neutral color to go with everything, but I was so drawn to this color. My favorite color is aqua/turquoise and the Cyan Green is just beautiful. The bag itself is well-made and has contrast quilt stitching, gold hardware and double zipper (I’m more of a silver gal but it looks nice so I don’t mind).This bag was quite reasonably priced and I think you get quite a lot for an affordable bag. I haven’t used it yet so I can’t comment on durability but I have high hopes based on the quality. I would say if you need a new bag for travel, give this a try.
