I never really buy items from social media ads but when I saw this bag in a sponsored post the algorithm shoved onto my Instagram feed I literally bought it within the hour. The mini is exactly what I need for my weekend trips. 10/10 would reccomend. I'm in love.
I didn't even know that Shay Mitchell had a luggage brand 😯 The color and design of this bag are so pretty!! I love that you can detach the bottom of the bag and that laptop compartment is also such a big plus 😌 Great review Leanna - thank you for sharing this ☺️💖
I just bought this bag after researching many weekender bags I feel it's gonna really fit my needs the best and I can pack more with less luggage especially for shorter trips love the shoe compartment at bottom saw many cheaper options but felt it made more sense to spend more for quality something that can hold up for year's.
LUGGAGE TIPS 1, 2, 3, 4 Tie three or four colored ribbons around the handle to your luggage to warn others that this is not their luggage. People grab luggage at the turnstile and take it home before you ever see it. Anywhere you put your bag, it could be grabbed in error. Example: overhead compartment, unloaded from the bus, at the hotel lobby, at the airport turnstile... These ribbons make your luggage different and EASY TO SPOT when the piece is surrounded by 35 other cases unloaded from the bus. Using 4 ribbons make it immediately different than other cases with 1 ribbon. Use 1” wide ribbons 14” long and not longer. Cut the ends at 45 degrees. Tie the ribbons as a sandwich, as if they were one ribbon. Use a man’s tie, a half Windsor knot for the best look. After it is tied on, the total length of the ribbons will be about 5 inches from the handle. This is too short to catch on anything such as rollers. Scissor cut trim the ribbons to cascading different lengths after they are tied. Put a drop of Super Glue at the end. If each ribbon is slightly a different length by 1/4” the color layers will all show up no matter how they drape. You can see these ribbons from 40 feet away. Perhaps tie TWO handles or RINGS top and side of the case. Tie using a HALF WINDSOR KNOT to the metal buckle ring of the handle. Learn Half Windsor knot tying: It is the 2nd example in this video ruclips.net/video/X0yh5rKB9lE/видео.html This knot does not loosen. Put your phone number on one ribbon using a fine point permanent Sharpie. Example: “Owner 454-333-7878” No personal name necessary. No address necessary on the ribbon. Choose one ribbon with an unusual pattern or fabric to really make it unique. The 4th ribbon could be black color. Stand by the output port of the turnstile to reduce the chance of someone else grabbing your piece. Tie your skiies, duffel bag, backpack and what ever else with matching ribbons-even your computer case. If you are a Travel Agent, you could hot gold stamp one ribbon with your name and phone number. Send them a set of ribbons, red and blue and BLACK to your customer as a gift. Record this gift in your database so you don’t duplicate yourself. Buy a gold hot embossing machine. Gold emboss your business name on the BLACK ribbon. Put the customer’s name on it if possible. Pleasant color combinations: Red, white and blue Chartreuse and purple and orange Orange and light blue Orange and yellow Gray and pink Green and yellow Red and Green Red and Gold Light blue and light green and white The 4th ribbon could be white, gray, black, tan Tip #2 Take a cell phone picture of the ribbon tied on. Then another picture of the full luggage piece. You now have a way to communicate “what it looks like” if someone is tasked with searching for it. Take this picture outside in direct sun not under neon lights. Tip #3 Place a strip of colored duct tape on the inside lining to your case. Put TWO pieces in DIFFERENT places such as INSIDE a pocket to the case. If you dare, put your phone number DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC WITHOUT USING TAPE. Or, put your name and phone number on this tape. If all identity is stripped from your case, you have this to show. If someone steals it and rips off identity tags, you can show the police officer the inside tape... To be sneaky about the tape, put your phone number on the STICKY side of the tape. Nothing is on the surface side of this tape. Tip #4 Put your phone number on a 2” x 1/2” piece of fabric or plastic sheet. Use colored Duct tape, such as black or red or neon, to tape this message to the top side of the handle. This message is under the tape hidden from view. The lettering does not touch the sticky part. Wrap it 2-3 times. Also include Tips 1,2,3 above. If you need to prove identity of the case, just unwrap it and show.......
Hi is the weekender big enough to fit 2 weeks quarantine necessities (clothes, pjs, undies, toiletries)? I will move to south korea soon, and I will bring 2 big luggages with me + beis diaper bag as my tote bag. I don’t want to bring another carry on luggage and don’t want to open my whole luggage during my quarantine. But i wonder if it will fit into the flight overhead storage? Thank you!
I know the weekender fits into overhead storage, but two weeks of stuff might be a tight squeeze in there! I think it depends what type of clothes you’re bringing and how you pack them ☺️
I haven’t taken it through any airports or anything but it’s stayed clean through a few road trips! But my sister has the black and loves it as well, it has really pretty matte black hardware!
I don’t think it would because personal has to be stored under the seat, and the weekender is too big so it has to go into the overhead compartment I believe. Haven’t flown with it yet but that’s what I’ve heard! ☺️
hi! i've flown with the original weekender as my carry-on, and used a back pack as my personal item. as everyone else has said, i believe the original weekender is too large to pass for the personal item (which is a bummer, as I recently purchased the carry-on spinner and was hoping to use both without purchasing a second carry-on!)
Can this bag be considered as a personal bag when traveling? I usually just bring a personal bag when traveling but my old one broke and I need a good personal bag with lots of space, BUT not a carry on😂
Not sure who Shay Mitchel is … I’ve seen the reviews on thus, never watched - the base collapsing without cardboard seems a little questionable… Thanks for the review :)
I’ve seen others say that if you get the convertible bag, and remove the shoe compartment on the bottom , then it will fit under the seat as a personal bag

Great review Leanna - thank you for sharing this ☺️💖
thank you!! ❤️
Great review! Just ordered one in black and can’t wait to use it for roadtrips and staycations. Thanks for sharing hun! ♥️
@Julianna Regan Yup, and I’ve also been tracking it so they said it should be here by Tuesday. I hope you get yours soon!
Thank you for this! I’ve been shopping for a weekender type bag and they aren’t cheap. This just about solidifies my decision!
Glad I could help!! 🥰
Definitely keep the cardboard in. I learned this the hard way. Great review!
Megan Scales thank you!! ☺️
Its soooo beautiful😻😻 how did I not know this was Shay Mitchell’s brand??
Bc u live under a ROCK

Hey do you think this will be a good idea for a personal item? Like under the seat?
I think it may be too large and have to go into the overhead!
@@Leannasal thanks for responding 🤎
Do you know the difference between the convertible weekender and the regular weekender?
On the convertible the bottom shoe compartment is completely removable!

I love your review I purchased the black one and the matching water bottle thank you 😊
Does it get dirty easily? Can’t decide between black or beige!
I haven’t taken it through any airports or anything but it’s stayed clean through a few road trips! But my sister has the black and loves it as well, it has really pretty matte black hardware!
Do you find this is super heavy when it’s filled?
not too bad with just clothes, it can get heavy if you put shoes in it!
It looks amazing girl im excited and your beautiful Beis bag is so cute Leanna you are sweetness God bless you and your family as well ❣❣❤❤ 💖
Does it pass as your personal alone with a carry on luggage?
I don’t think it would because personal has to be stored under the seat, and the weekender is too big so it has to go into the overhead compartment I believe. Haven’t flown with it yet but that’s what I’ve heard! ☺️
i think the mini weekender can pass as a personal item, esp if its the convertible one and you can remove the bottom compartment! 😊

I don’t think so. but if you get the convertible weekender with the detachable bottom, i think that will fit under the seat!
or maybe even the mini weekender! I’m not positive
@@Leannasal thank you so much! I'll have to look at the mini weekender!☺️
Not sure who Shay Mitchel is … I’ve seen the reviews on thus, never watched - the base collapsing without cardboard seems a little questionable…
Thanks for the review :)
you're welcome !! ❤️
Just wondering if anyone has taken this on an airplane as a carry on? I’m worried it might be too big for a carry on 🥺
I have !! It needs to be stowed in the overhead compartment because it’s too big to fit under the seat, but you can bring it 🥰
I’ve seen others say that if you get the convertible bag, and remove the shoe compartment on the bottom , then it will fit under the seat as a personal bag
Just bought it!!!
Hope you love it 🥰
How much was shipping?
About $10!
does it get dirty easy?
Mine still looks pristine and I’ve taken it on a plane as a carry on and a few weekend trips!
never heard of her but she’s pretty 😍
cool 😁
Thanks ☺️
Hi💛
Hellllooooo ☺️
