Jill said...: Our travels tend to consist of weekend visits to our families. Given the frequency of these trips, I bought my husband a fantastic bag, which he doesn't like to share (I kid, I kid...sorta). This is fine, except it's making my overstuffed hobo bag and pillowcase look pretty bad - even though it's a dang cute pillow case. Anyway, I'd LOVE to get this bag (and then not share it with my husband).; June 16, 2008 1:01 PM
Sundi said...: I have a hand-me down luggage set that includes a bag. It's boring and utilitarian -- it would be fun to have a perfect-sized, fun bag for traveling!; June 16, 2008 1:01 PM

Heather said...: Right now I have several bags for the weekend because with a child you need to bring along everything but the kitchen sink. We use a blue llbean duffle which has the logo of the company my husband works for embroidered on it(hideous)and then several canvas totes for my daughers things. I would love to have a cute bag all for myself since I haven't gotten anything for myself in ages. Thanks.; June 16, 2008 1:15 PM
fabulousbettyboop said...: My luggage is from highschool, where there are literally spots that are held together by duct tape. The only one in my family who had nice luggage is my daughter who has a new set from my mom for her birthday! But I would love love love to have a new weekend getaway bag! It's something that would make me feel get about getting away instead of ashamed by my luggage and people looking at it! thanks; June 16, 2008 1:18 PM
Janet Workman said...: All I have are backpacks. Would love something like this!; June 16, 2008 1:20 PM

silly said...: this is so cool looking i really like the graphics. This would be awesome to have for short get aways with three boys. No need to go digging through a HUGE suitcase in the trunk, when you can have this very handy bag IN the car with you.; June 16, 2008 1:27 PM

Rebecca said...: Lovely!; June 16, 2008 1:30 PM
CanCan said...: Yes, I am guilty of using a large diaper bag as my own personal travel bag (not for my baby!). I do in fact organize the contents with ziplock bags and plastic grocery sacks (in case the shampoo leaks).
This dwell bag is 1000% cooler than my "diaper bag".

Gina said...: What a great bag, could really really use this. My current travel bag includes backpacks or a free tote given to me via a freebie of some sort. Nothing nearly as nice as this.

Thanks; June 16, 2008 1:35 PM
Joan said...: My current bag is.....I don't have one at all. I have a makeup bag but that's it. So you see I really need one and then maybe I will actually get to go on a wonderful weekend getaway.

Joan; June 16, 2008 1:38 PM

krisinda at mac dot com; June 16, 2008 2:28 PM
Dolly said...: i get more uses out of backpacks than anything. i've been an avid backpack user since junior high (all through my military career, graduate school, and now as a diaper bag in a pinch). so, my weekend bag is my back pack which doesn't usually fit in everything I need, although it is comfortable. yes, i use plastic zippered bags and plastic grocery store baggies for the rest of my gear, too (dirty undies, shoes, toiletries). I'd love something more stylish, modern, and fun.; June 16, 2008 2:30 PM
Ellie's Mama said...: I have a set of big, bulky luggage. Nothing carry-on sized. This would be fantastic! (Especially since United will be charging for the *first* piece of checked luggage now!); June 16, 2008 2:30 PM

Jami said...: I've had my current luggage for the entire length of my marriage, which is 20 years. It was hand-made by Dusty the Bag Lady. I love my luggage, but it is rather old and not ridiculously fantastic. I'd love some ridiculously fantastic luggage.; June 16, 2008 2:31 PM
Panjo Kids said...: This is a fabulous bag!; June 16, 2008 2:33 PM

barbarabaker said...: Oh boy, I so have to win this weekender bag...it is abosolutely awesome!!! I go to Greece for the first time in September and have no bags yet. I would love to win this. The patterns are so fun and busy.

Awesome giveaway indeed!!!!; June 16, 2008 2:34 PM
Jennifer said...: My husband and I make joint decisions about almost all purchases. This is a totally chic and fun bag, so he would never agree to it. Travel bags must be black, black, black, or if I caught him on a wild day maaaaybe dark navy. We frequently roadtrip to visit family and as a full-time mom I do all the packing, so this would make the work more fun and put a little color in my life. Did I mention that after 7 years we're finally painting our all ecru walls. He gave me tons of choices--any shade of brown or white. But I digress... He's a wonderful man just color-averse. :); June 16, 2008 2:35 PM
Julia said...: What a fun travel bag.; June 16, 2008 2:37 PM
Amy in Ohio said...: I have every bag known to man which means I usually end up carrying four everywhere I go.

I haven't love any bag enough to commit to it.

Each time a get a new giveaway bag from a company or a conference, I think "Could this be the one?". Only to turn cold a few days later. Right now, I'm sporting an ugly green bag my husband got from work and a polka-dot bag I got for Mother's Day, but it is obnoxiously huge.

Help style my bag, won't you?; June 16, 2008 2:42 PM
mverno said...: nice pack; June 16, 2008 2:42 PM
Erica G said...: This bag is so cute! I would love to have it. My current travel bag is an old back pack. I had one that I thought was nice, but the last time I traveled with it the handle separated from the bag. I haven't been able to find one that I like since.

Thanks for the contest1

Kathleen @ Katydid & Kid said...: Nothing against Vera Bradley (many of you love their bags) but I hate the one my brother and sister-in-law got me a few years ago. It's just not my style, and unfortunately, it's a good travel bag with its pockets and roominess. However, I love this weekender bag and would be so happy to win so Vera can travel with someone else!; June 16, 2008 2:43 PM
Aubrey said...: My current travel bags are suitcases (big & bulky & boring) or my bright pink backpack from back in high school (a little outdated) so I would love this cute new bag!

Annie said...: I have one of my daughter's old discarded and "uncool" backpacks that I use as a travel bag...and I DO use ziplock bags for everything from qtips to mints!!

Great giveaway!

seeryusfam@msn.com said...: Ohhh, Lordy me! I'm embarrassed to tell, but my current weekender bag is a hunter green rolling suitcase...with ONE WHEEL! Yup, back when we went to California, oh a year and a half ago, one of the wheels broke. I keep trying to throw the bag away, but my darling husband thinks that it's still got miles and miles of useage left. While it probably does, my 8 year old drug it through the house one day and now my wood floors have a beautiful (ahem, not!) scratch, due to the one wheeled suitcase.

This girl needs it!! Thanks for the great giveaway!

Cuddle Cottage said...: That is one fab weekend bag! When we visit my in-laws for the weekend, I use my husband's well-worn black Eddie Bauer duffel bag. It still does the job, but 'style' is not the first word that comes to mind when you see it, and I'd love a bit of style!; June 16, 2008 3:13 PM

mannequin said...: What a gorgeous weekender! This summer, we are not taking a big vacation but 3 overnight trips so this is absolutely perfect!
I am using stupid, stupid man luggage in a hideous tweed that was my husbands from the seventies I think. Not very fashionable and actually not practical either since it's big enough for 7 days stay!
It would be so nice to own something so tres chic!; June 16, 2008 3:19 PM

michelle said...: Our current overnight travel bag is nothing more than a cheap, single pocket backpack that we have had for years. My kids actually fight over who DOESN'T get to use it. This bag would be a great improvement over our current situation...of course it may mean that the kids now have to fight me for that perfect weekend bag. (grin!)

Amy said...: Actually, I just got a really cute one from Old Navy. Thought it was a purse, ended up being HUGE so weekend bag it is. And I also have a laminate purple polka dot one...but a girl can't have too many bags, right?; June 16, 2008 3:51 PM

Feeder of the Hungry Beans said...: boring boring boring black backpack -- that's my current bag... but now I feel guilty for maligning the bag that's been to -- I just counted -- 21 countries with me. Maybe it's time to give it a rest.; June 16, 2008 4:35 PM
Donna said...: Oh Wow. . . my backpack, but it's getting slightly worn. Does luggage ever tape a beating when you travel. *LOL*; June 16, 2008 4:38 PM
peg42 said...: Thank you so much for this giveaway. My current travel bag is a huge tote bag that I had for some 15 years or so. It's travelled to some great places, but like it's owner it's starting to get old and tired. (lol) We're really in need of a good travel bag. Thank so much and please enter me.; June 16, 2008 4:42 PM

Chris & Amanda said...: My nasty black bag was dirt cheap when I bought it, and every time I use it another piece breaks off. It's also developing holes where the handles attach.

I'd love a nice new beautiful bag!; June 16, 2008 5:07 PM
genjamey said...: What an improvement on what I have been using (even for short weekend stays): a black hard-sided Samsonite suitcase that locks with a key that my parents gave me as a graduation present- a HIGH SCHOOL graduation present. Thanks for the great giveaway!; June 16, 2008 5:08 PM
tvollowitz@aol.com said...: We have a huge suitcase from Target for general family stuff and use a Blind Date backpack for carry-on. (yes, I know, embarrasing) Lots of plastic bags and ziplocs. This bag has me drooling. Fingers crossed!
