Is it really handmade? +
Yes. Every Weekender is quilted, appliqued, bound and finished by hand in one workshop in Taos, New Mexico, and carries a hand-numbered cloth tag inside. The proof is in the details: slightly irregular stitching, layered fabric color you can feel, and small variations that make your bag one of one.
How big is it? Will it work as a carry-on? +
It's a true weekender: room for two to three days of clothes plus toiletries, with an interior pocket for the small stuff. It's sized to fit standard overhead carry-on allowances for major US airlines, and because it's soft-sided it squeezes into tight spaces a hard case never could.
How do I care for it? +
Spot clean with a damp cloth for everyday marks, or gently hand wash in cold water and air dry flat. Skip the machine and the dryer. And because every seam was sewn by hand, it can be mended by hand; a HippieBus is built to be repaired, not replaced.
Why is it 50% off? +
This is the final batch from the workshop, and we would rather see every last bag on someone's shoulder than sitting in storage. So the last run is priced to go: $69.95 for a single bag instead of $139.90, and as low as $41.97 per bag in bundles. When this batch sells out, there is no restock behind it.
When will it ship? +
Your bag is already made and numbered, so orders ship within 48 hours with tracking. You'll get the tracking number by email as soon as it's on its way.
What if I don't love it? +
Send it back within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. No questions, no restocking fee. We've shipped bags to 128,421 happy customers, and the ones that come back are rare enough that we can afford to be this generous.
