This post is a little homage to The Darjeeling Limited, because the Louis Vuitton collection of luggage featured in the movie would be ideal. Number four (of eleven), shown above, is just what I have been looking for. But, alas! These were auctioned off, likely for many thousands of dollars. So I must look elsewhere. Here are the runners-up:
Clockwise from top left: Billykirk Waxed Cotton Leather Tote, $356; Warsaw Bowler Bag, $85; Carga Industrial Felt Weekender, $345; The Brothers Bray & Co Weekender, $98.
Clockwise from top left: Billykirk Mason Bag in Striped Ticking/Black Leather, $297; Peasants and Travelers Weekender, $138; Matt & Nat Bauhaus Greybag, $175; Lou Dalton Weekender Boiled Wool Bag, $528.20. *If you are in a DIY mood, check out this great tutorial on drafting your own pattern for a weekender bag.
I think luggage should be classic, utilitarian, and even a little masculine. I ended up getting the Brothers Bray & Co weekender from Urban Outfitters because we needed it for this weekend, and UO is literally three blocks from our house. Instant gratification! We’re heading to Nelson for the weekend, but I’ll be back here next week with some projects to share.
Have a good weekend!

Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.
