The Best Suede Bags for Upgrading Your Fall Wardrobe This Year

State, which calls itself the Original Family Bag Brand, is cutting through the travel tot e bag noise with its Wellington Weekender line, which balances style and function in an effortless kind of way. What we love: The duffel-style catchall can house multiple travel must-haves thanks to dedicated compartments like slip pockets, zip pockets, pouches, a drawstring-equipped bag made exclusively for shoes, a padded laptop pocket, and more. Another win: The bag is sold in a diverse range of colorways to suit everyone’s aesthetic sensibilities, whether you’re an olive green kind of gal or are attracted to the light brown Latte shade. As part of a collaboration with LoveShackFancy, the Wellington Weekender also comes in an on-sale Pink Vanilla iteration — kissed by coquettish, soft-pink bows.

To make sure you never lose track of your handy hauler, State offers an initials add-on option (which will be reflected on the bag’s top handles, blessing it with a touch of the personalized). Another detachable strap allows for crossbody wear when you’re running to the gate or trying to locate your Airbnb in a foreign city, and — the pièce de résistance of it all, if you ask us — the Wellington also boasts a luggage sleeve that lets you affix it to your carry-on roller with ease.

If you’re someone who’s prone to making a bit of a mess when tucking into an overpriced airport salad, State has your back, what with its overnight travel bag’s wipeable nylon exterior that’s also resistant to travel-related wear and tear. After shopping the Wellington Weekender, in whatever iteration your heart desires (some colorways are also featured in a more compact size), you should also get excited for its ability to fit under an airplane seat without prompting a meltdown, its structured profile, and the fact that the travel essential, per State, is “deceptively spacious”: every overpacker’s dream.
