Whether you planned a long trip and you need a good hand luggage or want to flee town for just a weekend you will need something stylish and robust, something like this weekender travel bag from Sandstorm.

Says there is the ideal traveling companion. Well I wouldn't be sure about that (not like it can keep a smart conversation, right?) but it sure is a great travel bag, made from water resistant cotton canvas and worn-look leather.  It comes in olive green and safari tan and if you place a special order you can have your own blue Sandstorm weekender.

Sandstorm travel bags are designed and handcrafted in Kenya combining traditional skills with natural materials and modern technology. Quality finishings and solid brass fittings complete the Sandstorm specification, which is "safari-grade travel bags and accessories that offer contemporary interpretations of timeless styles".
