overnight bags

Short trip luggage

Overnight bags are small pieces of luggage designed to hold essentials for a brief trip, typically one or two nights away from home.

They're larger than a purse or briefcase but smaller than a full suitcase, with enough room for a change of clothes, toiletries, and personal items.

The term emphasizes the bag's purpose rather than a specific style—duffels, totes, and soft-sided carriers all qualify.

I just packed an overnight bag for the business trip.
