Accountant supermarket manager cons of wearing school uniforms The weekend bag should be a thing of beauty and a source of happiness, as it usually means you’re going somewhere nice, not to work. The holdall is the king of weekend bags. In my eyes, it must be leather, which wears the best and softens with every trip. With holdalls, you can have a bit more fun with shapes, colours and grains of leather, but in all honesty you can’t beat a classic. The bag should be of a decent size and depth, and should be able to carry all a man needs for his weekend away. Crucially, it should be compact enough to fit in the overhead locker of a plane, as you won’t be wanting to check this beauty in. Bon voyage!
