The Weekender – Quilted 'Jardin Solaire' Oversized Travel Bag
Some bags carry your belongings. This one announces your arrival.
Handcrafted in the UK from the Jardin Solaire — 'Solar Garden' — African wax print, The Weekender is a study in bold, purposeful beauty. A wash of magenta, deep navy, mustard gold and soft lavender, quilted for structure and presence. Built for the traveller who refuses to be invisible.
In the West African tradition, every wax print carries a name and a story. Jardin Solaire evokes a garden at peak colour — sun-drenched, abundant, alive. No two pieces fall the same way on the fabric. Your bag is, genuinely, one of a kind.
Bundle & save: Pair The Weekender with any eligible pouch and get 10% off the pouch automatically at checkout.

Capacity & careful use
Our bags and pouches can carry some weight, but they are not suitcases! Please do not overload or overstuff them, or force the zips or fasteners closed.
We do not offer repairs, exchanges or refunds for damage caused by overloading, overstuffing or misuse, including damage to zips and fasteners.
This does not affect your statutory rights if an item is faulty, not as described or otherwise fails to meet legal requirements.
Slight variations in print placement are inherent to handmade production — and part of what makes your piece entirely your own.
