eBags TLS Mother Lode Weekender Convertible
Laptop bagSomething on your mind? Chat about it here. Readers were singing the praises of this Weekender Convertible in this discussion about weekender bags, and it looks like a great option for a quick weekend jaunt — and it’s great that it converts into a backpack. The first time I traveled by myself with a baby this would have been great to have; as it was I just upgraded to a super lightweight rolling bag so I could definitely put it in the overhead compartment by myself (someone had gotten a little too dependent on her husband), but a big con to my lightweight bag is that it can hardly stand up by itself; it’s always flopping over. This pictured bag is only 3.7 lbs, and comes in a bunch of fun colors — we’re picturing it in the black/orange, but it also comes in purple, red, gray, and a few shades of blue. It’s $129.99 at Amazon (try code D3A25YGT at checkout to get 20% off). eBags TLS Mother Lode Weekender Convertible This post contains affiliate links and Corporette® may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post.
