All signs point to 2012 being a big year for men’s bags and Sir & Madame are looking to turn the heat up with their Fall/Winter collection. Run by husband and wife team Autumn and Brian Merritt, the Chicago based store carries their own in-house brand as well as others. Sir & Madame’s bags and accessories blur the line between refined and rugged. Made in the USA, the collection is comprised of a mixture of weekend bags, totes, ruck sacks, key chains, and their iClutch iPad case. All of the pieces are made from Horween leather and canvas and denim sourced from LA. This Fall, we’ll see the launch of a buttery soft leather weekender.

Here’s a weekend size bag from Maison Martin Margiela 22, one that’s made from water repellent cotton/polyester and fitted some fine details to make it worth the dollars. The dark blue shell just looks great year ’round and coupling it with silver zippers really helps to give this Italian-made bag an inviting aesthetic.
The hardest thing to find on the market is a bag that matches your personality and if you’re anything like me, you’ll be intrigued by this calf leather carryall from Gucci. The tan finish coupled with fine details like buckle lock and bamboo handle make it a timeless piece that will be usable today and decades from now. The bag’s quite functional as well as it features two smaller document compartments and a zipped main compartment which zips open fully.
We’re really liking this weekend bag from rag & bone’s pre-fall 2011 collection. It features a denim shell and a waxed canvas base, referencing rag & bone’s military and outdoor influences. This bag’s finished with thick woven handles and has one large compartment and a sturdy black zip with leather pull tabs to keep it all together.
The fine folks at Killspencer just launched their Weekender 2.0 collection, which features a well-crafted weekend bag in four different material options. The four shells are Original Wax, Korean War Era, Desert Sand and Repurposed Olive Drab.
As always, these pieces are made-to-order in Killspencer’s Los Angeles Workshop.
Looking for a legit weekender that’s not too bulky but still has enough room for all your essentials and then some? Look no further than this suede leather weekend bag from A.P.C. It’s got one big pocket and a few smaller gadget pockets on the inside, which really slims down the entire silhouette. The contrasting brown leather handles compliment the bag really well.
New York-based Ernest Alexander has some exceptional travel goods in its lineup especially their weekenders. They feature wax canvas shells which will only wear over time to become truly unique while still being extremely durable against the elements. The detailing is great as well with soft leather handles and brass hardware as well as riveted end tabs with adjustable buckles.
The Ernest Alexander overnight bag is available in chocolate, navy, tan and plaid.
Here’s an impulse buy waiting to happen. This canvas weekender from Alternative is an easy pickup for anyone short on luggage. “Tonal stitching details a utilitarian-inspired bag trimmed in leather. Double top handles and a removable should strap provide convenient carrying options.” Also, we had no idea Nordstrom carried Alternative but we’re glad they do as we personally think Alternative’s making some great product and affordable prices.
