The Mini Weekend Travel Bag

If you are debating between the regular and the mini weekender, I think the Mini is superior! I used this bag + the BÉIS roller carry-on luggage for a recent work trip (domestic flight) and the Mini weekender is the perfect personal item. It fits under the seat when you lay it on its back (bottom shoe compartment closest to you). The bag fit my 14” laptop, rain jacket, umbrella, toiletries, sunglasses, wallet, chargers and several snacks and a sandwich I bought from the airport. Love the trolley sleeve feature as well. I’m happy with the Atlas Pink color I chose because it is like a dusty pink color that is pretty but not too light nor prone to marks/dirt. Pic compares Sakura pink (back) vs. Atlas pink (front)

I bought this bag to hold everything I need to have close at hand on my daughter’s wedding day, like makeup bag, comfy shoes, breath mints, gum, a snack bar, clothes to change into after reception, first aid kit, water bottle, etc. The bag is well made and has strong metal zippers and zipper pulls. The adjustable strap is a nice feature as well. The solid grey color is drab and seems to be a lint magnet as stray threads and things cling to it. The biggest negative about the bag to me is how very heavy it is even totally empty. With a blow dryer and even a lightweight pair of shoes, it’s quite heavy. The feet on the bottom are a nice touch, as is the easy to wipe off vinyl bottom. I will continue to use this bag, since I now own it, but if I had to purchase another bag, I’d chose a different one.

I LOVE this Mini Weekender Travel Bag by Beis. I purchased both sizes during the Anniversary Sale and decided to keep the Mini. The reasons were 1) the mini was very roomy, opened like a doctor bag for easy access, with a padded sleeve compartment inside that fit my iPad or laptop perfectly 2)a better fit on top of my carry on bag using the outside sleeve 3) not too heavy to carry with the handle straps or cross body strap 4)a handy zip compartment on the bottom to fit my flip flops, sunscreen, hat and bathing suit for easy access upon arrival at the resort in Kaua’i, Hawaii. I highly recommend this bag!! It fit perfectly under the seat on the airplane, where the larger back may have needed to be placed in the overhead bin.

I read the review on the funky smell but still purchased. I had to put dryer sheets and air it out for a couple of days to get rid of the smell. Other than that it’s a perfect travel bag.

Love this bad and wanted to keep it so bad, but it arrived with a horrible smell. After numerous hours of airing it out and putting a fan directly on it the smell remained. Saw several reviews like this on the Beis website, must be an issue.

Mislabeled- this is not the convertible mini weekend bag.

I wish I had read the reviews online and the HONEST TikTok reviews prior to purchasing. This bag reeks. It arrived the night before I left for Hawaii, I opened it and it immediately smelled terrible. Naively hoping the smell would go away and seeing it was the only carry on I had purchased to use on the plane, I threw my stuff in the bag and headed to the airport hoping the smell would go away. It did not! The plane literally stunk from my bag. My kids kept saying ew what is that smell. It was so embarrassing. When we got to the hotel I had to keep the rancid smelling bag shut in the closet to try not to smell it. Now I can’t return it because it was used. It’s been 3 weeks and still reeks.

I was so excited to take my new bag to Disneyland. Imagine my disappointment when I opened it up and noticed the stitching was coming apart between the inside pockets. Of course I didn’t look that closely when I received it so I took the tags off. Extremely disappointed that I paid this much for a bag with bad stitching.

The bag seems sturdy, but it has a huge rip in the bottom after one light use.

I was really worried that I would have issues with the Mini Weekender Bag fitting underneath the seat in front of me but I had no problems, I just made sure not to over stuff the top and it worked out really well. I travelled on Scandinavian Airlines and British Airways.

I love this bag! Color in slate is beautiful but ultimately I had to return. Bag big enough to fit things that did not fit in my carry on and had room to fit things I wanted to bring on the plane with me such as kindle, jewelry case, jacket , etc. Bag fits under American airline seats but it will leave you very little leg room if you travel economy. It’s hard to take it in and out from under the seat. It was not easy to travel with as a personal item!

I purchased this bag because of the versatility, however, the description states that the bottom shoe compartment completely zips off and it does not.
