Effortless travel begins with the right bag - and real leather makes all the difference.
Weekend getaways are where spontaneity meets style. Whether you're heading to the countryside for some quiet, exploring a new city, or just escaping the everyday grind, what you carry should feel as good as where you're going.
At Greenwood Leather, we design bags that not only travel well - but travel beautifully. Here are our top picks for weekend adventures, along with packing tips to make your next getaway feel effortless and elevated.
Classic. Roomy. Instantly iconic.
The Montreal Weekender is what weekend dreams are made of - crafted from full-grain cowhide, with a wide main compartment and zippered side pockets. It’s built to hold 2–3 days’ worth of clothes, shoes, and essentials, while still fitting easily in an overhead bin or car trunk.
Why it’s perfect:
✔ Cabin-approved size
✔ Reinforced base and handles
✔ Timeless design that turns heads at every terminal
Pro Tip: Roll your outfits instead of folding to maximize space. Slip your socks or power bank into your shoes to keep things tidy.
🎒 2. Zoe Leather Backpack
Versatility for the modern traveler.
The Zoe Rucksack is your do-it-all daypack that works as a backpack, tote, or shoulder bag. It’s compact enough for day trips but roomy enough to fit your camera, water bottle, notebook, and a sweater for cooler evenings.
Why it stands out:
✔ Three-in-one functionality
✔ Padded compartments for gadgets
✔ Elegant design for both city and nature settings
Pro Tip: Use smaller zip pouches inside to keep cables, cosmetics, and travel snacks easy to grab on the go.
👜 3. Hamilton Leather Crossbody
Style meets practicality for the light traveler.
Not every trip requires a big bag. Sometimes all you need is the Hamilton Crossbody - sleek, structured, and made for movement. It’s perfect for storing your passport, wallet, phone, and keys - all while keeping your hands free for lattes and landmarks.
Why you'll love it:
✔ Lightweight but secure
✔ Multiple zip compartments
✔ Effortlessly stylish for both men and women
Pro Tip: Pair it with a slim leather cardholder instead of a bulky wallet to save room.
🧳 4. Victoria Overnight Travel Bag
Understated luxury for overnight escapes.
Heading out for just one night? The Victoria Overnight Bag is elegant, compact, and perfect for light packers. Its soft leather silhouette feels just as at home in a boutique hotel as it does in a cozy lakeside cabin.
Why it travels well:
✔ Waxed pull-up leather finish
✔ Top zip closure with organized compartments
✔ Soft carry handles for all-day comfort
Pro Tip: Add one of our leather toiletry pouches to keep grooming items organized in style.
🌍 Why Real Leather Makes a Real Difference
Unlike synthetic or faux leather bags that peel, crack, and age poorly, real full-grain leather matures with grace. Every scratch, scuff, and crease adds character - making your bag more personal with every trip.
✔ Durability: Built to outlast trends and seasons
✔ Sustainability: A natural, biodegradable material - not plastic
✔ Character: No two pieces are alike - just like no two journeys are
✈️ Packing Tips to Travel Smarter
- Pack for versatility: Choose clothing in neutral tones so everything matches.
- Use packing cubes or pouches: Keep outfits, accessories, and gear separated.
- Don’t overpack: The right bag keeps things simple - and stylish.
