It can be tricky to know what bags you’ll need for a festival. If it’s only a day event, a cross-body bag or a rucksack should be enough. If it’s a weekend event, you’ll need a holdall and probably some extra tote bags, just in case you bring home more stuff than you take with you!
The essential bag at any festival has to be a backpack. Whether it’s a padded, larger style or a smaller, lightweight one that you can pack away, it will just depend on how many things you need to squeeze into it! Our pack and go rucksacks have a capacity of 25 litres so they’re a great size for a day festival. You’ll be able to fit in your waterproof jackets, lots of food and drink and maybe even a spare pair of shoes! Many families tuck a spare one of these into their padded backpacks in case they end up buying gifts or snacks at a country festival.
For a more ladylike festival bag, a cross-body bag is perfect for a day-long event. They’re spacious enough to fit in your essentials but not too bulky to have to carry around all day. Whether you opt for leather, suede or tweed, we’re sure there’s a material, style and colourway for every woman. Many of our cross-body bags have interchangeable straps available to purchase too so you could colour-coordinate your strap with your outfit for every festival. Tres chic!
Don’t forget your travel accessories for festival bags too. From smaller make-up bags for your handbag to larger toiletry bags for your suitcase or holdall, we love our collection of travel bags. All are made from our usual Rydale tweed so you know they’re made of great quality materials. Many customers collect every bag in one tweed pattern to have a complete set!
