Stubble & Co used British Millerain Tekwax water-resistant canvas to create the bag.
It incorporates a 15″ laptop compartment and comes with a trolley sleeve to provide extra comfort when slung around your shoulders.
The Weekender is available in 40-litre and 60-litre capacities, with four colours to choose from.
The Fit, Feel And Style

The fit of the bag is good – it’s a good size and comfortable to wear. The carry on strap is a bit tight if your bag is full – so I wouldn’t overfill the Weekender bag.
The style is super classic and we really like the black colour.
It feels really sturdy with the quality materials and you can tell it’s a bag that’s going to hold up.

Joe highlighted some of the features that he liked.
An excellent item with the additional space meaning that you can pack a full array of clothes and essentials. Light and comfortable to carry and very stylish features. A very good holdall.
John used the Weekender bag for a five-day trip – and it passed the test with flying colours.
Fantastic bag, looks and feels absolute quality. It was bought for a five-day trip to Vegas and it still had loads of room spare! I think I could get a week out of this, although it does become very heavy on the shoulder.
Sarah described the Weekender as a “practical and stylish” bag.
I’d been looking for a bag that was classic but not dull, hard wearing/great quality, practical and stylish. This bag ticks all boxes. as a female 5ft 4, I was worried it would be too big for me, but even though it’s large, it’s still fine to handle.
Our Verdict

Overall, for the price point, it’s a very solid option. It looks nice and does what it needs to do.
It’s strong and will hold up over time but I feel there are some tweaks that could be made to improve the overall performance.
I really appreciated the inner compartments where I could safely store smaller items, such as laptop pocket. You can’t fit a large laptop but a regular size should fit snugly.
When the bag isn’t too full and you use the strap, it fits really nicely onto a suitcase so you don’t have to worry about it falling off or toppling your suitcase.
We also really like Stubble & Co with regards to the materials used in their bags and overall eco-friendly approach to their business.
