10 best weekend bags for women

It can be really difficult to pack for a weekend - there’s always the fear that you’re either taking too much or too little, or that you’ll forget something vital like your underwear.

If you're heading off for the Bank Holiday, make life a little easier by having a go-to weekender .

1. Accessorize Pastel Weekender

With a spacious main compartment and two sizeable pockets, this is the perfect sized bag for a mini break away. The feet will stop it getting scuffed when you put it on the floor and also add a more quality feel.
