After traveling the globe with these backpacks for nearly 2 years, we are proud to announce that we've updated the Weekender Backpack! The Weekender 2.0 is hot off the North St. production line and so ready for adventure.
Let's break down a few of the changes. There are some hidden structural changes - updates that make the bag easier for us to sew, and even sturdier for all the rough-housing we hope they see out in the world.
The first ever conversation we had about updating this bag brought up a luggage strap and handle. Take advantage of the Weekender's updated versatility - stow the backstraps and slide onto your rolling luggage for a leisurely stroll to your next gate.
Our new zipper is the same bomb of a U.S. made Lenzip Raindefyer water resistant zip, but in a longer lasting, sleeker matte finish.
Every trip with a Weekender pack really means you're going somewhere - sometimes it's halfway across the globe, sometimes it's to the grocery store down the street. Sure, you're probably going to tell a lot more dinner table stories about the former, but the latter is just as important. And no matter where you're heading, your North St. Weekender should be ready to run support. With this in mind, we added in a 1.5" gatekeeper attached waist belt as a standard feature on the Weekender Backpack.
The updated version is available now from our site, and we're very excited to announce our partnership with lifestyle marketplace and journal, Huckberry. Through March 2020, the Olive X10 Weekender Backpack and Meeting Bag are exclusively available on Huckberry.com.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to our feedback survey earlier this summer. We were blown away by your kind words and excellent ideas. Thank you! Read up on the results from the survey and what folks are saying about North St. Bags.
“The North St. The Weekender Backpack checks all the boxes for me and is one of my favorite backpacks for most trips in the five-plus day category,” writes Zeke Kamm. “I LOVE the visual style of the bag and if I had to bring a bunch of stuff around with me to work or school, this would be my top pick for best everyday bag, too.”
Even though it feels like summer just began, students are heading back to school soon.Whether you’re hyped for classes to start or still grasping to every last summer moment, we want you to return to campus in style with these staff picks from our crew in Portland.
