Weekender Bag

By Katrin Vorbeck

 
When travelling through time or space (or both!), this elegant weekender bag will be a fantastic companion. Small enough to take everywhere, it is also large enough to carry all your weekend necessaries. The long zipper opens up wide for easy packing and unpacking. An exterior pocket gives you quick access to your reading materials. Add more pockets or dividers inside or out—this bag
is easily customized!
