No sooner are we back at work, then we're planning exciting weekends away to exciting places. Who needs two weeks in Cyprus when you can have lots of little city breaks scattered throughout the year? Paris is just a short Eurostar away, while Londoners can hop over to Ireland or up to Scotland in just a few hours on a plane. 

If you're going to be taking quite a few trips, you'll need a weekend bag that will last you throughout the year. The kind that will take a bit of a battering when jumping on and off trains, planes and boats. That will be big enough to fit in a couple of changes of clothing, a pair of spare shoes and your cosmetic essentials. 

If you're in the market for a weekend bag, we've rounded up some of our favourites. 

Are you planning any exciting trips away this year? What's on your list of things to take?
