If you’re anything like me, you love thinking about how to pack for your next adventure. I actually get very excited when it comes to packing, not only because I get to take a trip but also because I’m a little OCD when it comes to organization.
I’ve started getting better with my packing, using various strategies to help me pack most efficiently and effectively, but what I’ve noticed has actually been a major asset has been the actual bags I take with me. Below I’ve made a list of 5 bags that you’ll want to take for fall break packing, in a range of sizes.
A great option that you can take as a “personal item” with you, especially if you’re flying only with a carry-on, the Fjällräven backpack is a favorite. They come in different sizes and can be worn as a backpack or held in your hand or forearm.
Honestly, whenever I’m traveling I love to have a backpack on hand just to help me take advantage of all the space I can when my space is limited as is. They also come in a plethora of different colors, so choosing which one to get is extra fun! I’m currently lusting “Brick,” “Orchid,” and “Frost Green.”

The absolute favorite hardshell carry-on of choice that every blogger and influencer seems to have these days is actually a favorite of mine, too. It’s definitely an investment item but if you’re anything like me, you love to travel and would continually use it.
It’ll take you far and wide, that’s for sure, thanks to its versatility, durability, and effectiveness. You can even get it with an ejectable battery so no more moments in the airport where you’re searching for an outlet to charge your phone!

The ultimate weekender bag – and available in the most beautiful golden honey color – is Everlane’s Twill Weekender bag. Perfect for those shorter distance fall break trips or simply for shorter trips, this bag will be making fall break packing a breeze.
The beauty of this bag is that it fits in the overhead compartment of planes and is 100% water-resistant. So there just happened to be a torrential downpour on your trip? No problem! Your belongings will be kept safe and dry in this incredibly durable bag.
Similar to the Away Travel Carry-On in terms of shape, the Calpak Ambeur carry-on is a slightly less expensive and shinier version of the classic, but another excellent hardshell carry-on option to use for your next fall break packing.
They come in silver, gold, and rose gold, making sure you arrive wherever you’re going in serious style. These beauties are equipped with aluminum corners for more durability, has an integrated TSA-approved lock combination, and have 360-degree spin wheels. The bag even expands, just in case you end up taking home a little more than you thought (been there, done that!).

Another Weekender option out there is Madewell’s Essential Overnight bag. It’s an absolutely stunning bag, made with a cognac leather and is equipped with three inside pockets and both a hand strap and shoulder strap.
Just like its name suggests, this is a perfect bag for an overnight getaway, or any shorter trips, where you want to take the bare essentials. It’s made of vegetable-tanned leather and, like the Away suitcase, while a more expensive option than most, it is guaranteed to last you a long time and a lot of wear.
