Our cotton weekender bags are designed for the weekend away, the gym Monday morning, the surprise overnight at a friend's. Each cotton weekender bag is handmade in Rajasthan, lined with sturdy cotton, finished with comfortable hand grips and an adjustable shoulder strap — a true cotton duffle bag sized to fit standard airline carry-on dimensions.
A note on weight: our weekenders are designed for light loads up to 2kg on the long shoulder strap. They're stylish journey bags, not heavy luggage haulers.
Available across our full pattern range — Tibetan Tiger, Jungle, Leopard, Stripes, Ikat, and more. Shop our hero pieces: The Tibetan Tiger Weekender (one of our most-loved styles), The Jungle Weekender, The Striped Cotton Weekender, and The Leopard Cotton Weekender.
Every CYC cotton weekender is 50 × 23 × 33 cm — designed to fit:
Soft-sided, so the bag folds flat in a closet when not in use. Read our full Carry-On Guide for the airline-by-airline reference table.
The cotton weekender is the gift for the gym-goer, the new parent who needs a soft holdall for the changing kit, the partner who travels for work, the friend who hates wheeled luggage. It's the practical, washable, beautiful version of the bag they've been carrying — but slightly disappointed by — for years.
Handwash cold, line dry. The cotton softens with each wash. We recommend handwash over machine to preserve the print and quilting on a bag this size. Iron on low if needed.
Don't load past the 2 kg limit on the long shoulder strap. Use the hand grips for heavier carries.
Every cotton weekender is handmade in Rajasthan, then quilted by hand. You'll see small variations in print alignment and stitch — not flaws but the signature of real handcraft. Read more in our What is Hand-Block-Printing field guide.
Every CYC cotton weekender is 50 × 23 × 33 cm. Carry-on size, designed for 2-3 day trips. Fits standard overhead lockers and under-seat compartments on most major airlines.
Yes — the 50 × 23 × 33 cm dimensions fit standard airline carry-on limits on most major airlines (BA, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, US carriers). For Ryanair, you'd need the priority larger-bag upgrade.
Designed for light loads up to 2 kg on the long strap — roughly 2-3 days of clothes, a wash bag, and a book. Soft cotton, not a rigid suitcase.
Handwash only — cold water, line dry. Avoid the machine to preserve the print and quilting.
Cotton is lighter, breathable, and designed for active travel. Velvet is plush, deeper in pigment, and designed for slower travel or occasion use.
For most customers, The Tibetan Tiger Weekender (our most-loved heritage print) or The Striped Cotton Weekender (the quiet, pairs-with-everything option).
