The Weekender

From work to weekend: throw it all over your shoulder with your most important traveling companions -- the Waxed Canvas Work Bag and Dopp Kit from Lands' End. Stow your iPad in the interior padded sleeve, your phone in the cell sleeve, your MP3 player in the other pocket, work disks or magazines in either of the external snap pockets, and whatever else you’ve got in the main interior area. Whether spending just a night away or a month touring Europe, you’ll be glad you carry these necessities along. The waxed cotton canvas design beads water off itself and is naturally rugged, which makes it durable and great for traveling. The inside is also water resistant and has a zipper pocket to help you stay organized — even if your trip itinerary gets messy. With antiqued metal hardware and genuine leather trim, it makes working hard look good.
