What things should you consider when buying a weekender?
When buying a weekender for men and women, whether with or without a shoe compartment, there are various considerations that should be made in order to make an informed decision.
What purpose should the weekender serve?
Before you decide on a model, you should clarify which activities you want to use the weekender for. Whether for business trips, weekend trips or sports, the requirements can vary.
How important is the material for your weekender to you?
The choice of material is crucial for the durability and aesthetics of the bag. High-quality and sustainable outer materials such as leather and cotton not only offer an attractive appearance, but also robustness.
Do I need a travel bag with a shoe compartment?
A separate compartment for your shoes can be useful if you want to keep your shoes separate from the rest of your clothes. It is especially useful for trips where you have more than one pair of shoes with you or if you want to change into fresh shoes after activities such as hiking or sports.
What features are important to me in a weekender?
Consider which additional features are important to you. For example, external and internal pockets, a padded shoulder strap or special compartments for technology devices can be useful.
Does the weekender design suit my style?
Last but not least, the weekender should of course also suit you visually. Whether classic, modern or in an 18th and 19th century design - there is a large selection for women and men, and the style of the bag should underline your personal touch.
Care instructions for DRAKENSBERG Weekender with integrated shoe compartment
Leather care for DRAKENSBERG articles
Cleaning : In order to preserve the benefits of the careful workmanship and high-quality material in your leather travel bag, careful cleaning is crucial. A damp cloth is usually sufficient to clean the buffalo leather.
Conditioning : A quality leather care product such as leather wax keeps the leather of your bag supple and preserves the lovely design details.
Protection : The bottom and other areas of the bag benefit from careful waterproofing. This keeps the leather resistant to environmental influences. You can use colorless waterproofing spray for nubuck leather or smooth leather for all colors.
Care of cotton areas in DRAKENSBERG Weekender
Cleaning : First remove crumbly dirt with a textile brush. Fluff, lint and hair should be removed with a lint brush. Alternatively, a vacuum cleaner can be helpful. You can then carefully rub out stains with a gentle lye solution.
Drying : If your weekender gets wet or damp, you should dry the bag quickly in a dry and warm environment, such as a boiler room. Make sure not to expose the cotton areas to direct sunlight.
Impregnation : A textile impregnation spray, e.g. Imprägnol, can be applied to protect the material from moisture.

What is a weekender with an integrated shoe compartment suitable for?
Weekender as luggage for car and train journeys
For holidays, business trips or weekend excursions, a DRAKENSBERG weekender with an integrated shoe compartment is an indispensable piece of luggage. The size and shape are ideal for the trunk of the car. The separate compartment for shoes protects the remaining contents and maximizes the available storage space.
As hand luggage for air travel
The dimensions, size and shape of our models with an integrated shoe compartment correspond to the hand luggage regulations of most airlines. Everything you need for a city break, short trip or travel can be found in this well-designed hand luggage. Thanks to the intelligent layout, you have everything quickly to hand on the plane. A weekender is definitely more practical to carry than a hand luggage suitcase.
Weekender as a practical sports bag
A shoe weekender offers numerous advantages in the gym or when doing sports. The separate shoe compartment on the side serves the special purpose of storing sports shoes separately from fresh laundry. This leaves more space in the main compartment for sports clothing and fitness accessories.
