The Best Overnight and Weekend Bag for Traveling Featuring Consuela
I’m a big fan of weekend trips. Huge fan, actually. Getting away for a quick weekend leaves all your stresses of life behind at home, and truly lets you relax (AND have a remarkable time)

Consuela is a fashion and lifestyle brand creating products and experiences that inspire individuals to find joy in the journey. Founded by Austin, Texas-based artist Conni Reed, Consuela embraces vivid color and prints based on Conni’s design philosophy: The Art of the Unmatched™, which blends purposeful contradictions that yield the unexpected. Inspired by their partnerships with artists and makers around the world, their products are as tough, versatile, beautiful, and resilient as the individuals who wear them.
The “Art of the Unmatched” is their trademarked design philosophy and it’s the basis, foundation and inspiration for their collection each season. The word unmatched is intentional – different than mismatched, unmatched is purposeful, varied, and unexpected, resembling each of their personal histories and lives. The Art of the Unmatched™ is representative of journey; a collage of sights, sounds, emotions, and travels. They use vivid colors and unexpected textures each season as these things have a physiological effect on us. There are many studies around the impact that color has on our state of mind and happiness. The color and textural juxtapositions get our endorphins flowing. This is why people describe the bags as ‘joyful’, and that is foundational to the Art of the Unmatched™. The Art of the Unmatched™ has opened doors to meeting amazing people motivated to bring joy through their work. They set out to find and form mutually beneficial relationships and friendships. They are committed to the work and to the people they work with.
The team each comes from different backgrounds and bring unique contributions. A common thread of resiliency, care and shared values brings them together. With gratitude and hope they move forward, excitedly anticipating future possibilities.
Their team is located in both the U.S. and Mexico. Their products are made by Mexican-owned factories and by artists and their communities. They have been working with our business partners and their communities since the beginning of Consuela. They prioritize the well-being and success of their business partners and drive business strategies to ensure equity and shared values. When they partner with artist communities in Mexico, they build relationships and are committed to the people they work with. They learn about the history of their artistry, their traditions, and their business needs. Getting to know each other has created many beautiful memories. They spend time working through new ideas while getting to know them, their families, and their communities.
They partner with local artists of different techniques, including chaquira beadwork, weaving, paper mâché, and embroidery. The partnership positively impacts their communities through job creation and allows the artists to use traditional techniques handed down through generations, helping keep these traditions alive. The artists they work with are entrepreneurs and pillars of their communities and bring invaluable knowledge of their culture and history behind their artistry. Their voices and work mean so much to them! Their goal is to share their stories and support their goals through Consuela’s product and advocacy.
Through their It's Not About the Bag program, they’re on a mission to celebrate women who impact the world in positive ways through their service, strength, kindness, tenacity, humor, and love.
