Fashion duffle bags are usually referred to as weekenders. That’s because they are generally used for overnight and weekend trips. But that doesn’t mean you have to use them this way. Cute duffels make wonderful women’s gym bags, carry-on luggage, and more. Since these bags are versatile by design, you can use them for just about any purpose you’d like.
Below are just a few of my favorite fashionable duffels:

What is it about Eagle Creek duffels that makes them so sought after? Perhaps it’s their incredible construction. These bags are not only designed for total gearheads, but they are also durable. Or maybe it’s how you can incorporate other Eagle Creek accssories with them - especially the Exploration Systems Duffle Bags. These bags easily integrate with Pack-It® Gear Systems Mud, Gear, and Drop boxes.
Whatever the reason, Eagle Creek duffle bags continue to be among the best selling brands out there. See these bags for yourself here.

The Adidas Elite Team Duffel Bag is one of the best basic
duffel bags to own. In the classic Adidas design, this bag is perfect for the gym, for soccer practice, or for traveling with gym gear. This bag has a heavy-duty zippered main compartment, and a FreshPak lined wet/dry shoe tunnel. There is a removable dual adjustable shoulder strap, and a contoured non-slip shoulder pad for extra comfort. It comes in ten different color combinations, including black, pink, red, cobalt blue, orange, light pink, and navy.
The Nike Brasilia IV M Duffel is a great multipurpose duffel bag. Made with durable dobby materials, this bag has an ultra sturdy construction designed to carry large loads and to withstand typical, day-to-day locker room abuse. This bag opens wide to carry all of the gear you need, and the flexible interior pocket lining lets you split the load however you want between compartments, which is especially nice for carrying wet/dry loads. The bag also stands up so it is easy to pack and easy to get into. There are exterior and interior pockets for organization and storage for small items such as cell phones, keys, sunglasses, wallets, iPods, etc. This bag is also available in four different sizes: extra small, small, medium, and large, so you can choose what suits you best.

If you travel a lot, or are very athletic, you know that a good duffel bag is an essential accessory when it comes to transporting your sporting goods and personal items from game to game. Here are some duffel bag choices that are great no matter what sport you play; these bags will give you the space and features you need with the convenience you want.
If you like to go on skiing or snowboarding trips, you’ll definitely want a duffel bag that can hold all your supplies while you’re enjoying the slopes. Brands like CamelBak have created the SnoAngel, which is a compact bag that can fit on your shoulders and back while skiing without being cumbersome. You can fit up to 50 ounces of hydration into the backpack comfortably, and there is even a strap that goes around the sternum to eliminate back and neck pain. The bag is available in a trendy silver color, and you can also get the Moxie bag from CamelBak, which is great for surfing or camping trips.
Of course, Nike, one of the leaders in sports equipment manufacturing, has great duffel bags for the all-around athlete. The Brasilia Medium Duffel has just enough space for you to hold your water, sports drinks, and athletic uniforms, but isn’t too big that you can’t carry it with ease. The additional compartments and ID sleeve mean that you only have to carry one bag with you if you’re going to be on the court or the field all day, and the additional pouch connected to the bag for smaller items means you can organize all your belongings easily. The bag comes in a variety of colors, from light graphite, red, orange, and blue.
For a stylish duffel bag alternative, Nike has just what women are looking for. The Dance Tote from Nike is great for carrying dance shoes and outfits, as well as yoga mats and clothing. It comes with a unique design and an adjustable strap that can be worn in a number of ways for your comfort.
Other stylish gym duffels for women include the Meta from Sherpani; the bag is great for moms on the go who need a quick workout, and is easy to carry. The multiple straps make transporting easy, and the multiple compartments give you the convenience of carrying the bag all day.
The next time you’re looking for a duffel bag that will serve all your needs, be sure to check out these brands to get more information on the varieties, styles, features, and colors that will suit you. Happy shopping!

If you travel a good deal for business, you may want to look for a bag that has all the features you need, as well as the right look and feel for business. Leather duffels are a popular pick among frequent travelers, and there is a good reason: they are the perfect accompaniment for a work-related trip.
You’ll want to get the best value for your money and there are some things you should look for if you are browsing around for a good pick, as these bags can cost a bit more than your average backpack. Don’t worry though, leather is a quality material and will last a long time.
When looking at specific features, check to be sure the bag is an approved carry on luggage piece for the airlines; the last thing you need is a hassle at the airport before a big business meeting. Organization is another key feature. Keep an eye out for cell phone storage, as well as dividers to house important paperwork or folders. Pen holders are another nice perk. Some well-made bags even have a removable “boarding sleeve” that will hold your identification, and other documentation for travel.
Zippered security pockets are another thing to look for. Finally, mesh pockets can help keep additional items from sliding around or getting lost inside the bag during travel. Remember to keep these things in mind, and you’ll have the perfect business bag for your travels.

When it comes to choosing travel duffels, it’s all about convenience. Look at the way you travel, how much gear you bring with you and what type of travel you do before making a purchase. Here are some basic guidelines to help you get started:
- If you travel by car, make sure that the bag is durable and can withstand having other items packed on top of it without crushing it too much, unless you only carry clothing inside.
- A small duffel may be all you need if the trips you take are short and more localized. If the bag is for this type of casual use, choose a sturdy fabric, and go easy on the price tag.
- If you travel a good deal by plane, you’ll want a duffel with wheels and a pull-out handle. Flight attendants use these for a reason; they are incredibly easy to move around and they save on back strain. Be sure to check out the wheels to be certain that they will hold up over time.
- Longer trips may need more packing room, so select a bigger size duffel. You may also want to spend a bit more on this type of bag, as it will likely get more wear and tear than one you just pack for a weekend here and there.
- Think about your travel style. Are you in and out of the bag all the time? Then make sure you have an extra sturdy zipper. Do you frequently need a few small items on hand? Go for a duffel with an external pocket or two. Select the features that will help make your travel experience easier and you’ll be happier with the purchase overall.

It can be a little bit scary when your child spends a night away from home. You’ll want to be sure that they are safe, and that they have everything they need for the trip, whether it is a camp or just a sleepover. Think ahead a little bit and you won’t have any trouble getting all the right things together for them. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Kids duffel bags come in handy when it comes to packing. Get one with a unique design or pattern so they won’t mix it up with someone else’s bag. Look for super features like reflective strips and zippers with easy pull design for little fingers.
- When kids go to camp, take a permanent marker and write their name on everything from shoes to towels.
- Make sure that children either know emergency numbers by heart, or that they have them written down and stashed in a few different places in case they are needed.
- Tuck a “special surprise” inside the bag for your child. It can be a note, a small snack or even a picture of the family. You may want to consider sending your child’s pillow or favorite blanket along with them for the trip. If they sleep with a particular stuffed animal or toy, that might also be a good thing to pack.
- Make sure to include at least one heavier piece of clothing, even in the summer. A sweatshirt can come in handy if a child is swimming all day and the sun goes down before he dries off.
