Almost Perfect
"It desperately needs water bottle pockets in the outside. It is far too big loaded for a carry in bag. It just makes the suitcase tip over constantly. This should noted. I already used it or I would be returning it."

The Catalina Deluxe is the original weekender bag to popularize the bottom shoe compartment design. Launched in 2013, it's iconic design was created to keep shoes separate from clean items. Available in eco-friendly sustainable materials, this classic weekender is extremely versatile and built to last.
The Catalina Deluxe is the most duped weekender in the world. Its design has inspired endless copies and weekender designs. The signature bottom shoe compartment features a removable padded insert for easy cleaning and extra padding. Fits an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, or dirty clothes! Perfect for an overnight stay or a carry-on addition to your luggage.
This carry-on duffel bag features a luggage sleeve that allows you to slide it over suitcase handles for seamless travel. It also features double sided zippers that can adjust to fit different handle widths. While it won't qualify as a personal item, you should be able to carry it on and fit it in an overhead bins. And sometimes when it's partially packed it will fit underneath some larger airline seats.

"It desperately needs water bottle pockets in the outside. It is far too big loaded for a carry in bag. It just makes the suitcase tip over constantly. This should noted. I already used it or I would be returning it."
"The quality is excellent and this bag looks great. I'll probably only be able to use it for warm weather weekends away as it isn't very large (only a few pieces of bulkier winter clothes will fit, but its fine for a few lightweight, summer outfits). The nylon fabric appears durable and I like the shoe compartment in the bottom (althought its only big enough for one pair of shoes and some flip flops or slippers)."
"I bought this to be my carry-on bag for airplane travel, but unfortunately this bag doesn't have the form and function I'm looking for. It would help if there was a laptop sleeve inside the bag. Unfortunately, it's difficult to keep all my belongings organized without enough internal pockets. It holds a lot, but it's sort of an abyss of a bag."
"got as a new personal item for the plane but was nervous to get the large, which in hindsight definitely could have fit under a front seat as long as it's not stuffed to the brim. Any of the darker colors will show pet hair should you have it around, buyer beware"
"Nice but needs more internal pockets for travel items and shoes get smushed in underneath area - it needs to be sturdier compartment."
"Love this as a weekender…. . fits a lot more than you would think. And love that my shoes can be in their own compartment away from your clean clothes."
"I love the color! I am planning to use it during a safari trip this fall. Based on its design I think it will be perfect."
"After tossing two broken knock-off versions of this bag, I decided to invest in a higher quality version. I’m so happy with this product! Sturdy and stylish."
"I’ve had this tote for a few years… The black poly doesn’t show any wear & tear. I primarily use this tote in addition to my Away Bigger Carryon. Even packed to the brim, I can shove it under the seat and stow my Carryon over head. I’ve traveled domestic & international with it, and love the strap to hook onto the handle for smooth sailing thru the airport, into hotel rooms, down sidewalks. I typically take a packable duffle and check the Catalina on my way home… pack it full of clothes and shoes and check it. The airlines haven’t destroyed it! To avoid losing my toiletries, I usually pack them in this bag, so *if* the airline grabs my Carryon, I still have my necessities handy. That said, I would not take it solo on a flight. Once loaded, it’s simply too heavy to carry - so I just use my Carryon instead. I have many friends who have purchased this exact bag after traveling with me. I highly recommend this bag!"
"Great travel bag. Love how durable the material is. Had lots of room for all necessary travel items."
