Perfect for Weekend Getaways and Air Travel
I recently purchased the Samsonite Better Than Basic Weekender and couldn’t be more pleased. Before buying, I searched extensively to determine if it would qualify as a personal item on American Airlines but found no clear answers. Though the bag’s dimensions (18.9” H x 14.2” L x 9.8” W) slightly exceed American Airlines’ personal item limits of 18” x 14” x 8” , I found...

Useless and disappointing.
Only the bottom has structure. The top is very floppy which makes the zipper hard to close when its fully open. Its very heavy, and would be a pain to pack since it just kind of flops in on itself. The zipper is chunky and sticks and is a pain to close.

Everything you need bag!
I purchased this for a trip and have used it consistently ever since. It fits everything I need for a weekend and then some! I love how spacious it is and the fact that I a heavy packer, it's been great. I love that lower compartment for shoes and it also fits my toiletry bag in there. The quality of the material seems to be nice a sturdy. My 10 year old borrowed it for...

Bad quality zipper, broke right away.
Bag was only 6 months old (wasn’t used every day, just when I went on a few trips) when the zipper broke. What a waste of money!

Hoped for More
Purchased 2 - one for me and one for hubby. We’re aiming to have 1 bag each on short trips. Nice material would have liked more color options especially Blue that would match my other Samsonite luggage. Like it but didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. Zipper is a little odd to maneuver. Bottom shoe portion really only fits flat/ sandal type shoes or tennis...

Classic and functional.
Great travel bag and well designed. The bottom section is easily accessible while flying which is a great perk.

This is a must have..
If you’re looking for a durable, stylish, sophisticated weekend bag that is functional and holds all your necessities… then this is the bag for you! I love that I can pack my shoes separately in the bottom compartment or any liquids I don’t want to pack with my clothing. This bag is a 10/10. Highly recommend.

Dimensions are misleading!
I bought this bag for my husband who travels quite a bit for work. It’s beautiful- really well-made and roomy. However, the sizing is way off. According to the dimensions listed (18.9"H x 14.2"L x 9.8"W) it should have fit perfectly on top of his rolling carry on. When we placed it on there, it became clear that it was much bigger. We measured it and it turns out- the m...

Versatile and high-quality
The fabric looks sturdy and at the same time elegant, which makes the whole duffel be functional and stylish. A versatile product that can be used for short trip, gym bag, etc.

The only bag I need!
It is just as advertised. I love the convenience of only having one bag and that I can put my shoes separate from my clothes.

Better Than Basics Weekender
My 20+ yo soft sided luggage started to basically disintegrate where handles attached. Instead of replacing the set I opted to buy something similar to the bag I used most. After researching, settled on the Better Than Basic Weekender in limestone (beigey gray). Not having used it yet I can’t say how it will hold up over time but it seems well made. The material is soft...

Fantastic bag!
Love the drop out bottom & all the different pockets. The wipeable exterior material makes it easy to keep clean & the handles are very comfortable on your shoulder even when the bag is full. It’s a great size for a weekend getaway!
