Total dupe for Beis . No problem with straps or handles . Great price point . Purchased the black . Revised to 5 stars . Buy the bag !I was so excited to receive this weekend bag. I have seen numerous reviews on it. I will be using it this weekend. But I am disappointed in the inside of the bag where the laptop insert is as you can see from the above pictures the strap is sewn twisted. So it’s kind of funky when you attach the strap to the Velcro. I wish someone would’ve inspected the inside of the bag before they shipped it out. Other than that this seems like this bag is going to be perfect for my needs. Hence the 4 stars

Great Dupe!! If you love Beis but dont wanna spend the money on it! Pockets for organization, colors to choose from, zipper works perfect! Make traveling easy!

So I bought this for a trip coming up to use. It is supposed to be a dupe for the beis weekender bag. I do not have the beis weekender bag but did a lot of research and saw lots of videos. This did look like a true dupe. It is very large which is a good thing. However, I was planning to use it for a personal bag on the plane and I was worried that it was going to be too large so I ended up returning it. The luggage that you see in the picture is the beis carry-on luggage. You can see how big this bag is compared to the luggage. it also was very heavy on the shoulder when carrying it. Which I also heard the weekender bag is heavy when you carry it as well. So I guess it would work out if this was rolling on top of a suitcase and maybe going to be your carry-on if you were checking a bag but then you would have to carry it around the airport which would probably get very heavy on the shoulder.

I got so many compliments on this bag and it is very efficient for travel! Looks just like the Beis bag

I had been looking for a carryon that had the shoe compartment on the bottom and the luggage sleeve to hold it, but I needed it to also be small enough to fit under the seat. This bag fit the bill! I can fit 3 pairs of women’s size 7.5 shoes in the bottom part, granted they were soft shoes, a pair of slip on Vans, and two pairs of birks. But still. That freed up so much room in my carryon suitcase. And gave the bag some stability. I did not fill the bag to its full capacity, because i was worried that it wouldn’t fit under the seat. The photos I included were of my trip to where I was going, which the bag was not completely full. It fit well under an Alaska Airlines seat. In my way back, it was fuller and still fit under the seat. It has so much capacity, but it is hard to open and close with one hand. You have to use both which can be a hassle when in an airport or airplane. The luggage sleeve is helpful in that I can attach it to my suitcase and not worry about it falling off and can maneuver it around with ease. It’s also not gigantic and toppled my carry on suitcase. I like the idea that it has a charger chord and port. I don’t use it because the airplanes have power ports and my phone holds a battery for quite a while, but it’s good that have that for longer flights or trips where you won’t have access to a power outlet. It does get heavy, especially if you’re carrying shoes around too, and the strap isn’t the most comfortable thing to wear, but it seems strong and holds up. I haven’t had any issues with it yet.
