This $29 Aldi Suitcase Is Like a $108 Béis Bag on Wheels College Life

Whenever I need to pack for a short trip, I always find myself complaining about not having a good weekend duffle bag. I need something spacious enough to fit everything I need for a weekend away with friends or when I go home for the holiday break, but not so bulky that it takes up too much storage space in my room. I’ve been dreaming of the Béis Weekender bag, which sells for $108, and that’s definitely not in my budget.
