Recommend a smart 'Overnight' travel bag

Masala

Hi

Am looking to buy a present of a 'smart' overnight bag for my son. His work means that he might have to go outside the county at a last minute and could end up staying overnight in a Hotel depending on finishing the job.

Am fed up seeing him stuff clothes and toiletries into his local GAA sponsored kit bag. so am looking to but him something that will look professional and take care of his contents etc.

I have seen a nice bag in Dunne's Stores in the Paul Costello range that I was going to purchase - but decided to ask in Boards if there were any recommendations.

(I know a 'Ryanair' wheelie case would also do.... but would prefer something carried over the shoulder etc)

Any thoughts??

I'm a big fan of CabinMax

They have a large range, some bigger than others, but most are suitable for airline carry on

I have this bag - it's along the same lines as a Cabin Max but a little smaller (a deliberate purchasing decision) and perhaps a little smarter looking. Despite the title, the brand is actually Hynes Eagle who I think are well known in the US. I fly a fair bit and I really can't say enough good things about the bag - it's light, a good size (you'll get as much in there as any larger cabin size wheeled bag) and never gets stopped at the gate by Ryanair even with only a small bag booked. I have it in the first colour you should see on the link - it says brown, but it's as it looks - a muted wine colour. Easy to differentiate on a luggage carousel if required, but doesn't attract attention either. Besides flying, it gets whipped out for every trip away. It must have been used 40 or 50 times in the last two years and it's still good as new.

Thanks guys for both of the above...

Just in case my thread diverts off into Cabin Baggage sizes - I am mainly looking for an overnight 'hotel' bag. In effect - a jump in the car type of bag and drive to Galway and stay overnight!

So - size for Ryanair is not really a problem. Its more that it looks smart and professional and functional (rather than the GAA kit bag look!)

So keep the suggestions coming

Many thanks

I think that Costelloe bag is very nice and elegant and I think it's very good price for leather bag. This is sportier but practical suggestion:

I find Paradiver Samsonite stuff very nice (we have some items from the collection).

I like Mandarina Duck too.

I recommend a 3-way bag, basically you can wear it as backback, briefcase and shoulder bag.
So it is versatile.
Many brands have them
