I feel your pain with the over packing as well! I’ve been working on a capsule wardrobe to simplify my life. Give it a shot. I found the light color bags scuff and show too much dirt.
Ahh, I am actually working on a capsule wardrobe right now! I’ve donated a ton of clothes so far and I already feel so much better. I just need to streamline a bit more but I can see how that would improve my packing so much. Thank you for watching!!
@@ChristieintheCity Totally agree with the OG comment. When it comes to travel bags, packing cubes, suitcase. I always go for dark colors, Black, Navy Blue. But 9 times out of 10 I go for Black.
I loved what you said about being an overpacker 😂 my family and friends are ALWAYS calling me out for how much I pack. I get what you’re saying about being weighed down. I also hate not having what I need, so my idea is always if I have it then I don’t have to buy it. Plus when it comes to toiletries, I want my products which don’t always come in a travel size. Anyway, I’ve been wondering if this bag is worth it but I have so many travel bags so Ill probably hold off on getting it…for now 😂 Loved this review!
What is funny about me saying that is that I packed for Florida last night (my sister and I are doing a roadtrip and I'll be gone 6 days) and I packed so much that I have to take my biggest suitcase LOL. But I am the same way in that I want my skincare and everything I need! The majority of my products don't come in a travel size so if I don't have to use little travel containers (like now when we're not flying), I'm bringing all of those big bottles and calling it a day haha. I will say though, the Weekender bag is so convenient and is the perfect size for those weekend or long weekend trips. Especially for a super easy carry-on option. I'm also realizing now that I didn't mention it comes with a strap! But I've really liked it for that function so far. Thank you for watching!!!
You can use Pool noodles to maintain the shape of the bottom compartment while is stored away. Any dollar stores around springtime will carry them. You can cut them and customize it.
New to the channel bought the weekender in black today looking a reviews on it after the fact lol. I do feel the bag will be perfect for my needs for trips a week or less looks like it holds alot. I actually got back from Greece in June Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Crete Islands had a blast wish I had this bag then but plan on taking it to Prague and Austria in March 2023.
Haha, I do that all the time! I watch reviews for something I want, buy it, then watch more reviews lol. It really does hold a lot, that bottom zip section is a game-changer! Wow, your recent trip sounds absolutely amazing! I would love to take that trip. I hope you like the bag!! Thank you for watching!
I have this bag. When it is fully packed it is ridiculously heavy. I couldn’t imagine carrying it through the airport and using as a carry on. I’ve never attempted using it as a personal item, but I’m going to be trying it. I can toss it on top of my actual carry-on, and if it doesn’t fit under the seat, I guess I’ll check it 😆
Were you able to use this as your personal item? I'm thinking the mini weekender would work but not sure if the full size weekender would fit under the seat.
I'm also trying to be a under packer but and only take on a carry on. I just ordered the Beis carry on suitcase and on the go case. I'm not sure about the weekender? I think I'd want to be able to zip it down more. I think the round case is for ear buds to take with you.
Ahhh, taking earbuds with you, that's genius! And makes so much sense, thank you!! That is one downside of the weekender; even though it does open wide, it would be nice to be able to open it completely. But I loveee the separate shoe compartment, it's so nice for a weekend trip! How do you like the Beis carry-on suitcase so far? I need to replace a larger, checked-bag size suitcase and I'm really leaning toward the Beis one! Thank you for watching!
Ahhh so fun!! I’ve wanted to go to Alaska, I’ve heard you see incredible sights on those cruises! I absolutely love the weekender, I feel like it’s great for a weekend (obviously haha) and even a little longer if you’re a minimal packer and not bringing a lot of bigger items like multiple pairs of shoes. I just really like it! I hope you have the most amazing trip!! 💖
btw what is your hard shell luggage you use? I need a new set and am trying to figure out what to buy (Monos vs Away vs Beis vs Hue for example) (going to Alaska, Cabo and a few other places in next couple months so need something that is going to stand up to some 'beating') TIA
So right now I am using Samsonite Luggage, specifically this one as my carry-on case: amzn.to/3Q5Bw6u. I need to replace my checked bag, as it's quite old and is broken in one corner. I am debating between Away and Beis and I am leaning toward Beis for a new hard shell checked bag. A friend just ordered a hard case carry on from Roam but she felt like the exterior was too soft of plastic, like it could dent easily. That's the only feedback I have for that though! I love my Samsonite luggage, I have one carry-on size and one checked-bag size and they are so durable! I know that's not much info but I hope it helps a little! For me, I'd go Beis or Samsonite. :) Thank you so much for watching!!
I’ve just bought the weekender in navy blue but it hasn’t arrived yet.Just wondering would this be too big as just your personal item on a plane? Specifically Air Canada.Loved your video 😊
Hi Sharon! Ahh, you're going to love the Weekender bag! That separate zip section on the bottom is a gamechanger! 😀 I think the Weekender would probably count as a carry on and not a personal item. The only way I think it could potentially work as a personal item is if you don't pack it all the way so it fits under the seat, and even then, I wouldn't guarantee that! I did some light research online and most people said they had to use it as a carry on, but the Weekender Mini is small enough to be considered a personal item. I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy your new bag!! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! The exterior top of the black is polyester and the beige is canvas. I have found the black to be pretty easy to wipe clean but I also haven't had much to clean off it thus far. (The black hides a lot!) Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!
I think you'd be able to, I have had luck with something really similar and I just checked some of the reviews on Beis, and I saw quite a few saying that while it is not officially TSA approved, they were able to carry it on and take it through TSA without any issues. I would go for it and bring a little plastic baggy just in case. Please let me know how it goes for you!! Thank you for watching. :)
@@ChristieintheCity Thanks for the reply! is it cabin friendly? and last ... :) Would you say the Mini Weekender is for couple of days only while the Weekender is for more days? i hesitate on which size to buy and in there are no shops in London where i can go and see them
Hi Jackie! I have a Macbook laptop that's either 13" or 14" that fits in perfectly. I do have a slightly larger Lenovo Thinkpad laptop for work, so when I get home, I will check to see if that fits and will comment back! Thank you for watching!
The weekender needs WHEELS THAT YOU CAN POP OUT AND IN !!!! It’s so big and that’s good but too heavy if you’re using it as a carry on without a suitcase to plop it on!!!!!! Please internet do your thing!
Have you ever noticed people who review these things are people who don’t travel ? If they did they would know that this beis crap don’t fit any personal item measurements and if used as carry on it would be far too heavy as the bag weighs 3 and a half pound before anything is in it !!! Ok for a road trip In a car but absolute rubbish cheap shite !!

I’m buying the sport wrist thing because of you. Thank you for making this video
Yay, I hope you love it! It is really the most useful little bag for being on the go. Thank you for watching!!
You can use Pool noodles to maintain the shape of the bottom compartment while is stored away. Any dollar stores around springtime will carry them. You can cut them and customize it.
Ahhh that is a genius idea! I'm totally going to grab one from the dollar store. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!
@@ChristieintheCity I use the pool noodles to maintain the shape of my boots. Another hack 😉

Alaska cruise 🚢 next month! Just got my first Beis product (On the Go) and thinking about the weekender!

@@ChristieintheCity Thank you 😊
@@ChristieintheCity I think if you remove bottom where shoes go it can count as carry on?
Great review! Was just wondering what the outer material is for the weekender (at the top portion)? Is it canvas?
Thank you so much! The exterior top of the black is polyester and the beige is canvas. I have found the black to be pretty easy to wipe clean but I also haven't had much to clean off it thus far. (The black hides a lot!) Hope that helps! Thank you for watching!
Do you think you'd be able to bring the cosmetics case with liquids through the TSA? with it being a clear bag, or is it too big?
I think you'd be able to, I have had luck with something really similar and I just checked some of the reviews on Beis, and I saw quite a few saying that while it is not officially TSA approved, they were able to carry it on and take it through TSA without any issues. I would go for it and bring a little plastic baggy just in case. Please let me know how it goes for you!! Thank you for watching. :)
Does it come with a dust bag?
Question is, should I get black or biege? 🤔
I think the beige is so pretty, but I feel like the black is easier to keep clean! Thank you for watching!
Great review! is this the Mini Weekender o Weekender? thanks!
This is the Weekender! Thank you for watching. :)

Do not recommend BÉIS. They will not fulfill the rewards as the website says
Have you ever noticed people who review these things are people who don’t travel ?

Traveling by car is in fact still Traveling. You can always watch reviews and see what will work in your situation.
