    In this video I'm reviewing the ridiculously expensive AWAY Weekender Bag. This bag has been my weekend companion for several months now and so I thought I'd put this together to help anyone considering buying it. Enjoy xx

    You have forgotten the time stamps
    00:57 - Why get a weekend bag?
    02:41 - Away Weekender features
    08:10 - Is it worth the money?
    But maybe I am blind and did not see his comment.

    I love the logic you apply toward purchases. I can't say my husband always agrees with my joy-valuation arguments, but I enjoy hearing how thoughtfully you approach all things in your life, including weekender bags. Keep up the great vids!

    Sometimes it's better to spend the money on a well-made item that will last rather than something that's similar, cheaper, but not now made as well

    • @kaitlynkilpatrick36
      @kaitlynkilpatrick36 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      that's the same motto i have with my backpack! i have the swiss army knife brand backpack that has lasted me 6 years. i bought it for 80 USD but considering in the past i have had to buy a new backpack every year due to wear and tear it has more than paid for itself. the only reason i'm getting a new one this year is that there are multiple pen ink stains that do not wash out and the bottom is scuffed up a bit so i'm not gonna take any chances. but the computer compartment is still nice and zippers work great and there is no fabric tears on the interior. worth every penny.

      True but I'd expect that to be leather and monogrammed for that price. It's only canvas at the end of the day. I think, he's being ripped off because you can get far better value ones that, are comparable to that one. Quality lasts that's why I rarely buy cheap shoes. I'd only buy them if they were very cute but I wouldn't expect them to last. Summer sandals and flip flops can be cheap and cheerful but I'd only buy them, in addition, to the proper leather ones that feel more comfortable on and usually, look far more elegant too.

    Best bag I ever bought cost me less than 10 euros. The Newfeel 55l duffle bag. It’s exactly carry on dimensions, weighs nothing and folds itself into its own pocket. I definitely recommend it as a lower budget option.

    It took me watching this video to realize that there was a key chair attachment to it lol. Their suitcases are trash (minus the aluminum ones) but the duffle (the Weekender) is AMAZING! I've given it as gifts and only just purchased one for myself this year. I opted for the nylon one because I know if I purchased the canvas ones, it would drive me mad to see it get dirty over time. This is one of the few reviews I found on the bag. That being said, thank you for taking the time to post this :)

    I would have to agree with your view point. I don’t own away products but I can say as someone who does like to travel I did invest in a different brand of luggage. I got tired of constantly buying TSA approve locks and so I bought one with a lock built in. I’d say that was the best investment I made. Plus, quality products last longer than those that are purchased based on the lower price. Remember you get what you pay for!

    For anyone on a bit more of a budget who wants bags with pockets, I highly recommend looking at the brand Kipling. They don't have specific shoe pockets per se, but come in a huge range of sizes and prints, and the material is showerproof. Plenty of pockets to put things in too!

    You spoke in this video a lot about the benefits of travel; I can see that with domestic travel / train travel. But what about international plane travel? In that case doesn't one's personal fulfilment come at the cost of (extremely high!) carbon emissions, which would make it a costly activity and one which one would like to indulge in small quantities but not /as much as possible/? I'd be interested in hearing your take on this topic because it's a question I've been thinking about a lot and one to which I've yet to reach a satisfying answer for myself.
