@@buildyourmoxie you're welcome!!! ^_^

[@AnnaPrez]

This is the most helpful video I've found here. The part that you showed that it can be a personal item and it fits underneath the seats. I got my mini convertible weekender and was worried that it won't fit underneath. Thank you!

[@buildyourmoxie]

😍yay! I’m so happy it was helpful!! 🥹 I love beis. So well made! I’m never going back to a cheap backpack 🤣

[@laurasardinha]

Agree! Amazing video! Do you have any tips about how to clean the bag? I would assume it can get really dirty with some many travels. Thank you!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@laurasardinha after every trip, I usually take a damp rag and just spot clean. You can put any kind of cleaning spray on the rag if there are any darker spots you need to remove! I’m a pretty clean person so I don’t toss it anywhere and I also don’t wear a lot of makeup so it’s stayed really clean! Most bags I see that are dirty aren’t from dirt but from makeup 😅 (red and black smudges)

[@MissMegzie]

Would love to see how you pack that for a long haul/flight and all that you fit into your packing cubes please! Great video!

[@buildyourmoxie]

🫡 I will film that for you and put it in the line up! 😃

[@Swimdeep]

That style of bag with its hinged opening is based on the old Carpet Bag. Nice bag.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Oo just looked up carpetbag and had a nice read! Thank you! And yes! I loved the hinged openings!

[@christina89xoxo]

My friend bought this for me. Took the bottom off. Wanted to know if it’ll fit under the seat. Thank you for showing us it does. 💕

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes!! The mini weekender and mini weekender convertible will fit under the seat!!

[@over40nfab]

just ordered this bag for an upcoming two week trip to the UK - hoping it will be great for the international flight and also to pack light for overnight stays in and out of our VRBO's and hotels so i don't have to lug in my checked luggage - excited to get it - great video !

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yay! I love this bag so much! I hope you love it too! Enjoy your two week trip! 🤩

[@breecrossroads]

Ooooh I'm going to need you to review all the travel items! (And anything else!) So in-depth and thoughtful. I wish companies themselves made their item videos like this. I would buy a helluva lot more.

I recently ordered the regular weekender during their warehouse sale and I'm so excited, I've wanted bags from Beis for months now. I've been using a duffle bag for our regular trips to Vegas & wanted something better to pack my clothes in.

Great review! Special thanks for showing the interior of both compartments and how items can fit. I’m strongly considering buying it for a trip to Japan(!) but am concerned if Japan Airlines would allow me to have it as a personal item, in addition to a carry on suitcase: Oh yes, Beis is having a virtual warehouse sale now and the bag is $64.80 which seems like a great deal.

[@buildyourmoxie]

I just went on Japan airlines! No issues! I had mini weekender as my personal item to fit under the seat. And the carry on went in the overhead bins! No issue at all!

[@mayflowers9602]

I wonder if they have a smaller version for petite 5 ft women. That bag looks huge and would kill my shoulder. Thank you for the demonstration 👍

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi May! I would say if you wanted just the bag on it’s own, maybe the “mini weekender convertible” might be better cuz you can unzip the bottom and take it off if you want. That is a good 3-4 inches off the bag :) But if you do have a rolling carry on, it’s a great bag as you can place it on the roller :) The more you fill up the bag of course it gets pretty heavy lol. And I’m not a light packer so even my shoulder gets sore if I had to carry it super far in an airport just like any bag. But I’m glad I get to stick it on my roller!

[@FernPattinson]

Hi, great video thank you! Question - do you find that, for long haul flights particularly, this bad leaves enough room left for your legs/feet?

[@gracechadi]

Thank you for sharing. This was helpful.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Aw I’m so glad! Thank you for watching hehe :)

[@sarahknee3315]

I need a bag JUST like this but with WHEELS! I usually check a LARGE suitcase, then dont want to carry a heavy personal bag everywhere. I have fibromyalgia so pain gets triggered by carrying bags. This looks perfect if you always have a suitcase to rest it on. Any tips for finding a bag like this but with WHEELS? Going to Iceland soon! Thanks!

[@arawiyanash4764]

I like the beige.

[@buildyourmoxie]

The beige is sooo pretty!!

[@theloanangel]

I'd like to know which do you prefer? The Monos or Beis Weekender for travel?

[@buildyourmoxie]

I looked into the monos one very carefully. I ultimately went with beis because it was less expensive and had everything I wanted 😏

[@siomaradeleon5300]

How do you keep it so clean! I love the color… but I’m afraid to get it

[@buildyourmoxie]

I see some people with dirty bags!! 😝 I think what helps me is I spot clean it after every trip and wipe down any dust with a rag! Then I try to not put it on its side too much and also don’t put my face on it if I have make up on!

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@christymc33 I haven’t tried the east to west tote. But I am pretty sure this mini weekender bag is bigger. Also if you are basing any decision off of popularity from customers, the mini weekender is known for being a travel buddy!

[@nikoltureckova]

Do you have any experience witth European airlines? like Ryanair, Wizzair ...I bought this bag but I´m afraid the bag will be too big as a personal item. Thank you and I loved the video.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi!! Unfortunately no I haven’t been in the European airlines! 😝 I would say pack it lighter so it’s more squishable just in case!

[@animegirl13x]

Hello, I want to know if the mini weekender bag can be considered as a personal bag for ana airline or japan airline

[@buildyourmoxie]

Yes! I took Japan air and it fit under the seat as my personal item! ❤️ It also fit under the seat for southwest, Asiana, singapore, and Hawaiian,

[@PastelBrushes-n-Donuts]

I really like this bag, but I have a question. For international flights the dimensions of the personal item are 15”x11”x4” or 40x30x10 cm. How do you get past the boarding attendants with this bag at 16.15"x7.8"x15.75" or 41x20x40cm?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi! I’ve traveled internationally with it! As long as it’s the mini weekender (what I did the video on), it will fit under your seat! Sometimes you have to move it onto its side depending on if you are in the middle or aisle etc. Other people carry much larger looking bags and make it through 😃 I’ve never had an issue at all! ☺️

[@MagicLights555]

Hi! I'm sure it depends on the airline, but I was able to fit it under my seat on British Airways, Iberia, and Iberia Express. Not a single boarding attendant had an issue with it.

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

Hi...I was wondering if you had ever used your mini weekender for Japan Airlines. I think Singapore airline allow bigger measurements. Thank you for your time. Great video.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hello! 🤗 I haven’t traveled on Japan airlines 😭. But I have traveled southwest and Hawaiian airlines and it was fine under the seats there too!! 😃(Overhead is also no issue). I would just say don’t overpack it just in case! But the dimensions of the base should be fine! 😃. I think people would run into the issue if they overstuffed the top and then couldn’t squish it down

[@luvpinkhellokitty]

@@buildyourmoxie Thank You soooooo much!!❤️

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@luvpinkhellokitty of course! ☺️

[@deboracharmelus]

How does it feel on your shoulder? That's what stops me from getting a bag vs using a backpack

[@buildyourmoxie]

To be honest, I only like rolling it on top of my carry on lol. I would NOT recommend if you wanted it primarily as a shoulder bag :) I really like the backpack!! It’s comfortable getting to places. I would not hike in it though cuz ergonomically it’s not made for hiking long trails because it doesn’t hug you as much as those REI backpacks etc. Here is my review video on the backpack!

[@schmollpotato5804]

Totally off topic. Where did you get your t-shirt? It looks lovely and sooo comfortable! I have one alike, but can't seem to find any in stores now :(

[@buildyourmoxie]

Aw thank you so much!! It is so comfortable and because it’s more beige or off white, it doesn’t get dirty or show dirt! 😝 Unfortunately I got it from a small boutique shop in South Lake Tahoe! I have never seen it again since 😭. The black one and beige one are my favorites. If you are looking for a good waffle weave long sleeve, check out Aritzia here and there! I think they will be closest as well as Abercrombie.

[@fynejules]

that's a really pretty color but do you find that it gets scuffed up and marked when you are throwing it under the plane seat etc?

[@buildyourmoxie]

🤗great question!! The bottom feet make a HUGE difference so I try to keep it on its feet the most. If I do need to place it on it's side to squish it under, I'll just be sure not to scrape it against the floor. 😃 Other than that, the bag stays on it's little feet! 😃 Also after every big trip, I'll go in a spot clean it a bit if needed. I am a pretty clean person and I don't wear make up besides my Lashify eye lashes. I find dirt scuff marks are pretty simple to get out. The bags that look dirty are usually the ones with eye shadow, lipstick, and blush 😁.

[@christymc33]

Does anyone know how it compares to the East to West Beis tote?

[@Kat-ji3we]

Does anyone know if the beige color gets dirty quick? I haven't found anyone talking about that aspect yet.

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi! I would say I’m a clean person and mine looks really good even after traveling so much with it! I also scotch guard it! Mine still looks like how I show it in the video 🥰. After each trip I just wipe it down with water and a rag It just depends on your level of clean and if you throw it around! I’ve seen some dirty yucky looking ones because there is make up and smudges and dirt all over it. Not cute 😝 I also try to keep it upright and don’t throw it all over 😝. I’ve seen some people put it on its side and slide it with their foot in the terminal 🤣 So if you are a clean person, go for it!!! It’s so pretty!! 😍

[@lisaw.1601]

The Beis website says this bag is 16" x 16", which concerns me because the TSA rule is 14 x 18. Erica, have you had any problems with this?

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@lisaw.1601 hi! I have not had any issues! I have taken it on many different airlines! Since it’s soft, it can turn and squish to get under your seat if it’s a tighter space :)

[@iamAnhchau]

Love your videos! How do you keep it clean?

[@buildyourmoxie]

Hi!! 🙋🏻‍♀️Aw thanks for watching!! I’m generally a clean person. I don’t toss it anywhere and don’t lay my face on it if I’m wearing any makeup 🫡. But for the normal travel marks and dust, I just spot clean with a rag and some cleaning spray (I use our sanitizer spray from Covid times hahaha). It’s been on way more than 20 weekend or longer trips now and it’s holding out great!!!

[@V88I]

I want to buy that color too but I'm worried it will get dirty quick. How easy is it to clean the outside?

[@buildyourmoxie]

I was worried too when I got it! In general I’m a pretty clean person and don’t throw my bags everywhere so it’s been easy for me! I have spot cleaned a couple dusty spots with a rag and some detergent and it was fine! 😃 i also keep my bag upright a lot because I like to take advantage of the gold feet 🤗. Would not recommend if you wear a ton of make up and like to lay your face on the bag. I’ve seen some real dirty ones in the airport and it definitely is makeup 😁. But long story short I’m surprised how clean I have been able to keep this bag! 😃 I will continue to buy beige material products in the future!

[@Mommyingthis]

How has the color held up? I’m between beige and black with a matching backpack

[@buildyourmoxie]

The color has held up really well!! I was telling someone else that it’s easy to keep it clean if you are just naturally a cleaner person and not throwing your bag everywhere or laying a face full of make up on it. When I see other people’s bags that are dirty, it’s always make up 😁. If I get a little dirt on it, I just use a rag and some detergent and it’s nice again! I’m naturally a clean person! I personally would go for black if I did backpack though because when I use a backpack, I go anywhere and everywhere lol. So no way would I be able to keep it clean for long even as a clean person. 😛

[@Mommyingthis]

@@buildyourmoxie thanks for the info! I wanted them as personal item bags as for airline travel so it would be on the floor in the seat in front of me, so it would kinda be for the floor and stuff. I just wish the black has a lighter interior

[@buildyourmoxie]

@@Mommyingthis 🤩oh okay! If that’s the case then you are fine!! Under the airport seat is not bad at all! I was more talking about like people wanting to hike with the beige backpack or like explore all of Asia in the street markets which I wouldn’t recommend as it would get really dirty. But if you are using the bags just for commuting and airport travel, they will be fine! Even if you have to put it on the floor :)
