Most weekend bags are black nylon that looks like every other bag on the carousel. I wanted one that makes you feel like you're leaving before you've even backed out of the driveway.
Each weekender is sewn by hand from start to finish. The shell is hand-quilted over batting, so it holds its shape packed full. The appliqués are cut by hand and sewn on piece by piece, with hand-embroidered details: on the Flower Power Caravan, a camper bus with a peace sign on its nose, turquoise spiral wheels and flowers all down its side.
That handwork is something you can feel in the quilting and see in the scenes. It's still a practical bag, carry-on sized with a wide-opening zip and padded handles. It just doesn't look like anyone else's.
"Sewn by hand, for every weekend you get away."
What you get.

🚌
Scenes cut and sewn by hand
Every motif is appliqué: fabric cut by hand, layered and stitched on rather than printed, with hand-embroidered details, so it has texture you can see from across the room. On the Flower Power Caravan: a peace sign up front, turquoise spiral wheels, flowers all down the side.
✋
Handles that don't bite
The padding runs the whole length of each handle, so a heavy bag stays comfortable on the walk from the car.

A note about handmade variation
Every bag is sewn by hand from start to finish, so color tones, stitching and appliqué placement vary slightly from bag to bag and from the photos. That's the nature of real handwork. Spot clean only and let it air dry; skip the washing machine to keep the colors and quilting at their best.

What people are saying about the Hippie Bus Weekender
“Picked one up for a road trip down the coast and ended up using it as my everyday weekender. The hand-quilting is unreal — feels like nothing else I own. The peace-sign wheels make me smile every time I grab it.”
Patricia H., Knoxville, TN
“Three women at a pool in Andalusia stopped me to ask where I got it. The construction is unbelievable — every stitch placed by hand. You can tell the second you pick it up. Worth every penny.”
Patty M., Austin, TX
