I have a bag from them that I use as my travel bag whenever I'm flying and its held up well. I love that it's canvas so I can wash it whenever it gets dirty. I also love that it has a separate compartment for shoes and a pocket to slip over my carry-on suitcase.

This is a great bag for anyone on the go!

I bought my Catalina weekend tote ages ago, between 2015-2017, and I've used it hundreds of times since.  If you saw my bag today, you'd think I had just bought it. It's still in excellent condition after all of these years and so much use! No holes, no zipper problems... looks as good as new! I love how much I can fit inside the main compartment, and I love, love, love the separated shoe compartment. I've gifted a few to loved ones over the years. Lo & Sons is a great brand with superb quality.

I got a Catalina Deluxe over 2 years ago and it has been a great investment piece. I really prefer the look of the canvas but I went with the recycled poly material because I felt like it would hold up better and I'm really glad that I did because it still looks brand new even after many weekend trips and multiple international plane trips with it. 

I love how smart and sleek the design is, I am glad I went with this brand over others that I researched. 

Would love to see more colors/prints in the nylon and canvas. 

Lo and Sons is my go-to when I need new travel accessories such as camera bags, tote bags, etc. I've bought them as gifts as well, and it is always well received. The thoughtful and useful design and the reasonable price point makes it a win for me. 

Nothing, I've loved everything about them. Keep on keeping on!

I love everything about Lo & Sons! I stumbled across this brand around 10 years ago when I was looking for a chic work bag that toed the line between being professional yet sleek. This definitely foots the bill! Since then, I've purchased several bags. My absolute favorite is the Catalina Deluxe Tote. It's everything a travel bag should be! 

Bought the OG Deluxe 2 (Large) approx. two and a half years ago. It's a great bag—ultra functional with the separate shoe compartment, holder for water bottle on the interior and great setup (for organization). 

There's a separate compartment for the laptop, which makes it super easy to travel (and remove for security checks)!


I have the plain linen color, so it's gotten a little dirty, but I haven't found that that bothers me all that much.

This bag holds an obscene amount of things - it's amazing. I can go on an entire weekend trip with just the Catalina Deluxe bag. The way it's separated i so intuitive and efficient. It works well by itself or with a roller suitcase. It's not the most stunning bag I've ever seen, but I don't even care because of its function wins out.

They should remove the gender categories from their website! All of the bags can be used by anyone 

I got my work bag from them a few years ago and I love it. Super convenient for fitting lots of items and I love that the inside divider pockets are removable! 

The brand carries a variety of different bags, backpacks, duffles, and accessories. They all seem to be thoughtfully crafted like the Catalina Deluxe, with pockets and features that are useful and functional

Absolutely love my lo &sons Catalina weekender bag. Super high quality and fits so much! I use it as my personal item on flights and can fit shoes and toiletry bags in the lower compartment, saving room for clothes and a book in the upper. It slides right on my roller bag and makes traveling super easy. And it looks really clean and nice!

I have had one of their bags for 5 years and it still looks brand new and it's an everyday bag that I throw a bunch of things in and love having all of the organization pockets to keep things in order. I also love their customer support team!

I have the Catalina Deluxe in Large, and boy. It really does fit a lot. I brought it on a five-day trip and it fit a fair amount of clothes, a camera bag, and more. Space really isn't an issue with the bag. What I failed to consider is carrying it around. I am a 4'11" woman. This bag is massive on me. The only manageable way I was able to carry so much bulk was when it was placed on top of a suitcase. 

I would not recommend loading up on heavy items in this bag if you need to carry it for great distances. It's a lovely size and is wonderfully constructed, but from now on I will be using it as more of a casual weekender bag and overnight stays rather than something to carry around with me for travelling. I love the sustainable aspect of the brand and the concept is great, but it simply does not do enough for me. It was also a bit pricey for the concept and execution. I would recommend the smaller sizes to friends and the sustainable aspect gives it a huge leg up, but I probably will not be buying another bag from them for now. 

I've had my weekender bag for 7 years now. I love it, my wife loves it, and it's held up really well! The darker color doesn't show dirt, and it's easy to carry.

I've had my Waverley bag  (aka the fannypack) for a few years now, and it's held up really well despite my tossing it around and generally not taking care of it. The leather is soft and supple, the black color has remained rich, and the brass hardware hasn't dinged up. Love these stylish, practical bags!

Wish the bag had a little more form, especially when using the shoulder strap. Gets kinda saggy.

This has become my go-to weekend bag. Super simple, solid quality, looks great. Nice range of sizes and colors. I'm looking for a reason to get another one. 

Well-constructed but lack of form factor limits utility.

The family has several of these bags and they are well constructed, simple, and durable for their purposes. The ones we have do not hold their form and are limited on pockets, so they are generally reserved for shorter trips. Stylish and great colors.

A couple of things I would love is a laptop sleeve and if I could have another zippered pocket as I currently use that one to hold the bag on top of my luggage. 

A friend gifted me a weekender and it's literally become my go-to bag for any short trips. It actually does fit a lot and the bottom shoe compartment is perfect to put in an extra pair of shoes or stick anything you need immediately. The outside pocket to hold the bag on top of luggage has been great for travel as well. 

The price point is great and the canvas material is pretty thick as well. 

I have the Catalina weekender back and I WILL NOT travel without it EVER. I love, love, love, the bottom zip storage for shoes or your laptop. Lots of pockets, including one on the outside that has a zippered top and bottom so it can slide easily over your suitcase handle for when you're on the move. Very roomy. It also has tote handles and a cross-body strap with padding for different ways of carrying. I've recommended this to so many people. Love.

I found this brand closer to when they launched and only had a few of the options they have now- over 6 years ago which is crazy. But the Catalina bag has been my go-to bag for just as long. I've purchased more from the brand and have only been happy with the web experience and customer service.
