Signature Weekender Bag - Open Story™

Used as a personal item on a United flight, and it fits under the seat. Just don’t over stuff the bag or else I don’t think it will fit. (Might have trouble with fitting it under an aisle seat though, at least the flight I was on.) Overall, happy with the purchase, it has a nice structure to it that makes me feel like my items, especially my laptop/iPad etc, safe. Taupe color is nice, a nice change from the standard black but still sophisticated and neutral.

I purchased the color Taupe, which is a lighter stone color. I love this color and it's true to the picture on the Target website. Now, the material for the bag is rather weighty, heavier fabric then what would normally be used for a duffle bag (understandably). There are two open pockets on each end of the body, an outer pocket to secure it to a suitcase handle with two zippers to open it, an outer pocket with compartments, and the main bag body with a laptop pocket. The handles have a magnetic clasp and a removeable shoulder strap. The shoulder strap has a shoulder pad that is removable. This is truly a weekender bag, not a dufflebag, so keep that in mind. I have taken this bag on about 5 trips now, ranging in 1-3 night stays. For myself, the bag is a bit cumbersome when entirely full, but this is more because of my smaller stature (around 150 cm) than the bag itself. Anyone taller than me has and can comfortably use it. The shoulder strap and handles are both comfortable for whichever way you choose to hold it. This is a true weekender bag, for a little trip or as an addition to your main luggage. With all it has gone through with me, being road trips and car rides, it has not gotten scuffed or damaged with travel. Again, this is without flying. For the main compartment, it can fit a small toiletry bag and three packing cubes- small, medium, and large- when arranged correctly. This is without anything in the pockets on the inner or outer bag. The double zipper pocket for the luggage handle is still able to be opened and slid onto the luggage with the bag full. I enjoy the size of the bag and the different compartments it has, but because the material is already a bit heavier, it makes the bag entirely heavier. This isn't a problem is this is an addition to your suitcase, since you can set it on top, but it's something to note. The actual shape is a little awkward for me, but that is more of a me issue, so note that is stays the shape it is displayed as. Overall, this is a good reliable bag, just a little weighty. I much prefer this as an addition to my hard shell luggage as opposed to being my only bag. If you want to purchase this bag, maybe check your local Target and have a look at it in person so you fully understand what it's shape is. It is $81, so keep that in mind while you search for a weekend bag. Personally, I believe this bag is worth that investment and even with my few nitpicks, it is a very good bag and I'm happy with my purchase.

This bag was a last minute buy for me before my trip but oh man, do I love it. It fit under the seat perfectly, has so many compartments inside to organize your stuff and is quite sturdy. It’s also gorgeous and I received so many compliments on it! Loved the smart design, target has done it again. If you’re looking for a weekender that fits a bunch and is pretty, this is it.

I just returned from a trip to Chile that included 4 Delta flight segments and 2 LATAM flight segments. Delta flights were on A321 and A350 while the LATAM flights were on A321. I was a little nervous because as the bag sits on top of my roller bag, it looked too big to be considered a personal item. However, none of the Delta or LATAM gate agents stopped me and when on board, the bag slid in under the seat without any issues. I think the key is to not fully fill the bag. As long as the bag is mostly full, it should fit fine under the seat.

Lots of pockets and fits a lot, can easily be a good weekend getaway bag. Doesn’t always fit under the seat so need to be careful. Good quality.

I love it. Taupe color is super chic and it’s made really well. Buy it!

This has been the holy grail during my work trip. I used it as a personal item for my flights (Delta, JetBlue and American Airlines) and did not have a problem storing it underneath the seats. Has so many compartments to help keep everything organized! Also the material is super easy to clean inside and out!!!!! I have purchased this for everyone in my family who loves to travel

I love this bag! I did not realize how big of a bag you could have for a "personal item" on a plane. It fits perfectly under the plane seat. It also has 2 side pockets for "cup holders" with easy access, or anything else! I can fit so much stuff in here, it's a great weekender bag as well!

It’s a nice bag but it weighs 3.15 pounds without anything in it. I bought it online for a trip I was taking to the east coast and ended up not bringing it because of the weight.

The compartments were great! But the strap broke on me the first trip I took.

Does this work as a personal item? On Alaska airlines and American Airlines? What about other airlines such as delta, jet blue? Carry-on bags shouldn't be larger than 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches high including handles and wheels. Dimensions of personal items should not exceed 18 inches long, 14 inches wide and 8 inches high I like it. It’s good quality. I want to use it as a personal item in addition to my carry on item on flights.

This is great bag! I used it as a carryon and it fit everything I needed plus more. It would be a great weekend bag as well.

This back is awesome! I used it for extra storage on my week long trip. Its very comfortable and looks great. I can fit a few outfits, shoes, toilitries and still fit under the seat on a flight.

Took this in an international trip and I had it stuffed and it still fit under the seat on a delta flight. I got tons of compliments and it was super durable!

Perfect carry on bag. Hooks to roller luggage as well. Super roomy and love all of the pockets. Holds a ton!

Bought this last minute for a carryon to go to TS Eras. Worked perfect and fit everything I needed well!

Aesthetically this bag is amazing! But it ends at that. It’s not functional and is extremely heavy bulky and awkward. I bought a beis bag and haven’t looks back. My strap started to fray after second use smh- disappointment.

I've taken this bag on quite a few trips at this point and I can't express how much I love this bag. It's got so much space while still fitting under a plane seat as a personal item. It's great in tandem with a carryon or checked luggage for longer trips. I love that it slides on the handle of my luggage, it makes it so easy to get around that way. It's my go-to for work travel. I don't even bring a carryon suitcase anymore if it's just a couple of days. I can fit in a couple outfits, a pair of shoes, toiletries and my laptop. You never know how fast the overhead storage on the plane will fill and I hate it when I to check my bag at the gate, so being able to travel knowing I absolutely won't have to check my stuff because it fits as a personal item is such a relief. It's got so many storage pockets to make organizing your stuff easier. A pocket for your laptop, a microfiber lined pocket for sunglasses, pockets on the side for a bottle... it's got everything I need. For the price, this is really the best weekender bag you can get.

I really wanted to love this bag as an affordable alternative to other weekend bags with the trolley sleeve. The bag is larger than expected and pretty heavy when it is empty. The dealbreaker for me was my work laptop did not fit in the laptop sleeve section, although it did advertise as fitting a 15 inch laptop.

Love this bag! Super thick and durable. The travel sleeve even doubles as a side pocket. Not quite as big as I thought but still an amazing staple!
