Beautiful bag!

Love this weekender bag! I have a Tumi Alpha International roller bag and I've been looking for a larger carry-on, personal item bag. I looked at a number of brands that make weekenders. Mono, Travel pro, Away everywhere bag, Beis and others. I did not want to make a purchase based on matching my Tumi bag, but because it was the best bag. After researching and reading endless reviews, I landed firmly on this Tumi weekender. The quality of the bag itself, the zippers, stitching both interior and exterior, the handles, everything is of very good quality. I can clearly see the attention paid to the details which is a huge plus if one is going to spend this kind of money on a carry-on, personal item bag. I have no doubt that like my other Tumi purchases, this bad will be with me for the long haul.
All of the compartments are very helpful for staying organized. Big enough to fill with what I need and small enough for me to navigate the train station with it on my shoulder.
Had a previous version of this m: the Catalina? Maybe? I liked the previous one better & was hoping to buy it again, do t really need the shoe compartment - but love the depth of the bag, the space (can hold so much traveling or commuting everyday- lunch, water bottles, purse, laptop, all the things) which I love- this one feels nice but the shoe compartment is annoying - can we make one with shoe compartment and one without so we can have a deeper bag? Love the long straps! Love the luggage slide over handle zip, and love the lightweight and quality of the bag and hardware!
I agree with the reviewer that the laptop section could be a touch deeper sliding into the side of the bottom expando section (it fits my work laptop but not my personal Mac). However, I've been waiting for Tumi to figure out that something like a briefcase could have LONGER handles. Some of us live in climates that require winter coats, and those often have thicker shoulders and the briefcase handles won't fit over a shoulder! These do, and I'm so pleased with the versatility of this bag.
Versatile bag, classy and light. It contains a lot and fits right on my carry on suitcase. I purchased it for a trip to Europe and put what I need for my flight in it, while I leave the rest of my packing in the carry on. The bag fits under the seat in front of me if needed.
This is a transitional travel for me as I have always only used packs. This weekend was my first time using it, but for road/car travel. overall I'm pleased with it. Very well made, as one would expect from TUMI. I love the color, design and that I can wear it on my shoulder. The real test will be when I fly again (next month), I may have additional feedback. One thing that perplexed me is the internal water bottle holder (?). Is that what that is because if so, it's entirely too short to hold a typical bottle and the zipper won't close. Please let me know if that is not what that is for. Also the laptop compartment could be deeper (mine is a Mac 13 in).
As a minimalist traveler, I needed to find a personal item bag to accompany my international sized carry-on for a three week trip to Africa. The "basement" compartment holds two pairs of shoes and my socks and underclothes. The numerous pockets of various sizes holds everything in an organized manor and it balances perfectly on my roller, so moving through security lines is a breeze. Even though the cost is a bit pricey, it's a purchase I am thrilled with and look forward to taking it all over the world!
