Mens Leather Holdalls and Weekend Bags

The perfect companion while travelling or even going to the gym, our mens leather holdalls are made from a range of high quality leathers and are available in small, medium and large sizes. These leather holdalls are a great way to carry all your essentials. A weekend bag is a larger size holdall which would be used for carrying clothes and shoes over a short stay period. The holdall style is squarer with a rectangular base and is usually smaller than a weekender bag and last but not least a duffle is a longer and cylinder shape bag with a zip top closure which would work best at accompanying you during a long haul flight.

6 Best men's leather weekend bag in the UK (2023 Updated)

As much as we'd all like to be flying off on lavish holidays for ten days at a time, the average British person only has time for one or two significant holidays each year. On the other hand, what about the weekends? Those are things we can accomplish.

 Even the most ardent over-packers would agree that nothing seems sillier than lugging your roll-aboard along on a 48-hour vacation.

Enter the weekender, the unsung workhorse of every traveler's baggage collection. 

The ideal choice is not too large (or it will weigh you down) or too small (or you won't be able to fit extra shoes), durable enough so that you won't have to baby it, and fashionable enough that you'll take pride hauling it to beach cottages, hillside cabins, and wherever else your weekend journeys take you.

We've compiled a list of the finest weekend bags for a variety of budgets and interests. Continue reading to find out where you should spend your next weekend.

When looking for a weekender, there are a few characteristics to look for that will make traveling much easier. A separate shoe compartment, for example, is a useful feature that guarantees simplicity while holding the total of your stuff tidy. 

Similarly, many weekenders and duffel bags serve as garment bags, allowing you to transport a suit or other formal clothing without creases. 

Because they're more robust than a gym bag and simpler to slip into confined compartments than a hard case, they're ideal travel companions for traveling on short excursions. They're still a lot more stylish than a big backpack.

Weekender, Overnight Bags, and Duffle Bags- An example misnomer?

Weekender bags, overnight bags, and duffle bags are all terms for the same type of bag.

Why make it simple when you can make it complicated, you might wonder?

In general, these terms refer to a soft-sided bag with handles and a removable strap that has become a popular choice for frequent travelers, including workers, students, and tourists.

While these were once solid green cylindrical bags, they now come in a variety of shapes and colors. The modern weekender bag has evolved into a more refined version of its duffle bag forefathers.

Do you want to learn more about these timeless marvels? Let's get started!

The History Of Duffel Bags

The modern duffle bag can be traced back to the early twentieth century. Duffle bags, on the other hand, have a much older history.

These bags get their name from the type of cotton used, which dates back to the late 17th century in Belgium, in a town called Duffel.

This fabric was so tough that it was used on ships in which the capacity to endure wind gusts was critical. Any fabric leftover from the ships' construction was turned into straightforward bags for mariners to carry their possessions in.

In the nineteenth century, this thick and sturdy cotton fabric was used for outfits that had to withstand extreme elements, such as Antarctic expeditions.

Given how hard and reasonably priced the material was, the armed forces fell in love with duffle cotton fabric for bags. It can withstand a lot of abuse and still last a long time. Initially, British and American military personnel used duffle bags, followed by the rest of the globe.

A surplus of military duffle bags found their way into military surplus stores, where they were purchased by people ranging from California to Australia, including surfers.

From thereon, the duffel bag became a style choice, gaining appeal through the decades and centuries.

Duffle bags are now popular among everyone from high-powered CEOs to blue-collar employees as a convenient method to transport their stuff.

Why Are There Multiple Names for a Duffle Bag?

What began as a single term to designate this style of bag has now evolved into several distinct names for the same bag.

What is the reason behind this? Is there a distinction between a weekender bag and an overnight bag? Is a duffle bag distinct from either of these?

The extra titles for basically the same bag arose as a result of a few differences from the original duffle bag. When you think of a duffle bag, you probably see a cylindrical canvas bag with straps. 

When a bag possesses these characteristics, it is easy to identify it as a duffle bag. But what if there are additional accessories and various materials used?

Weekender Bag:

The Weekender Bag is a term used to describe a duffel bag that is intended for use on short-term travels, such as a weekend break. Weekender bags can be regarded as flexible pieces of baggage in addition to having a room (which duffle bags also give) for a long journey. 

The functional design includes not just handles but also a shoulder strap. When flying, you may take it as a carry-on simply grabbing the handles and walking out of the airport. You may also wear it over your shoulder if you need your hands free to do other things.

Aside from these design features, there is also a wide range of styles, colors, and materials.

Canvas, leather, and polyester are the most common materials utilized. The natural fabrics are part of the appeal of duffle bags, which are similar to weekend bags. The internal synthetic polyester lining also serves a functional purpose. It protects the interior of the bag from being disturbed by the rougher cotton canvas of the bag. It also aids in keeping the inside clean.

Overnight Bag:

Duffle bag:, what makes a perfect weekend leather bag.

Some important qualities are required for a bag to be classified as a weekender, overnighter, or duffel bag.

You'll find them on all weekender bag varieties, and if you don't, it's not a real weekender bag. The following are the essential traits to keep an eye out for:

Functionality:

To begin with, a bag exists to give the user a convenient storage alternative while on the go. A duffle bag may be used for travel or as a gym bag, depending on your needs and preferences. The overall size of the bag is just as significant as the added features such as detachable shoulder belts, convenient side pockets, secret inside compartments, or adjustable buckles for additional protection. These features are especially crucial when choosing a holdall for a specific purpose, such as The Winchester Holdall, which includes a designated shoe pocket and baggage tag and is great for overnight excursions and multiple nights away. As a result, you'll be able to fly in luxury.

A leather bag's size is totally decided by its intended purpose and personal preference. The Winchester Holdall - Large is great for weekend trips and extended visits. In contrast, the Winchester Holdall - Medium is suitable for day excursions and overnight stays. Each Leather holdalls' measurements are precisely specified to aid in the selection process, so purchasers may have a better idea of the magnitude of their chosen design before purchasing. For example, the Winchester Holdall - Large has a capacity of 60 L and is ideal for a 15" Mac, whilst the Winchester Holdall - Medium has a capacity of 40 L and is intended for a 13" Mac.

Leather has long commanded high prices as one of the world's most valuable fabrics. Quality, finish, and size all have an impact on the pricing of any leather product.

Without a doubt, the perfectly crafted bags are fully attributable to the superior quality of the leather. Customers should be assured that their holdall will withstand extensive usage, as I can verify. Naturally, the leather's innate suppleness may develop an aged appearance with time, giving the leather an unmistakable antique aspect that will never go out of style.

Of course, the style of any individual bag is entirely subjective. The vintage-loving customer may like the traditional style, but the fashion-conscious client may prefer the modern to complement their everyday outfit. Customers can be certain that all bags are made with an emphasis on exquisite design and strong sophistication in mind.

When choosing a holdall, the consistency and feel of the leather should always be the first priority. Because no two leather cuts are the same and, the simple, basic philosophy that drives each duffle assures that each buyer receives an exclusive product. Because leather is an organic material, consumers are suggested to care for their Leather holdall on a regular basis using a dry cloth to eliminate dust or, optionally, to engage in a skilled cleaning solution for additional prevention.

Each bag is made to resist frequent use as well as regular wear and tear. However, you must inspect the robustness of the leather handles and removable shoulder straps to guarantee that the duffle bags are durable and long-lasting.

Leather bags are available in a number of hues, allowing customers to express their personality while also selecting an item that will complement their clothing. Classic neutrals like naturally tanned, elegant mahogany, and conventional vintage brown are the finest options.

Any flight can only accommodate cabin-sized passengers up to a particular weight. You can't just arrive with a giant leather holdall and hope for the best. The amount of load allowed per passenger is limited. Most airlines limit cabin-sized bags to 18kg for each journey. You don't need to load your holdall any more densely. It's best to keep to the standard airline baggage allowance of 18kg. Your carry-on luggage MUST fit in the overhead bin or underneath your seat. Each passenger is allotted a particular amount of space by the airline. Just make sure you're not carrying any large stuff.

Weekender bag AKA Last Minute Getaway Bag.

The travel bag is an excellent companion for both last-minute getaways and daily excursions. One of the primary benefits of travel bags is that they frequently include a removable strap that allows you to carry it over your shoulder or over your neck.

This enables for more uniform weight distribution and, as a result, greater comfort. Because of the strengthened handles, you may carry your bag by hand if it is not overloaded.

In terms of organization, the travel bag has a fairly large primary storage space. You may either keep your stuff on the go or invest in storage cubes, which are frequently affordable but quite useful for organizing your trips.

Can you use a weekender bag as carry-on luggage in Flights?

We see it in movies and TV shows all the time: the travel bag is a must-have in airports and an appropriate carry-on backpack (along with more traditional leather backpacks) for all sorts of travels due to its many forms and capabilities.

We recommend this item as a carry-on bag, as long as it fits within the dimensions of the airline because it is practical, light, and easy to reach. You can simply keep your computer, personal items, and transportation papers in it, allowing you to travel with peace of mind.

When it comes to limitations, they vary greatly from airline to airline, and we can only advise you to verify their regulations before traveling.

However, the most frequent specifications for typical airlines are: 56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm (22' x 14' x 9') and 55 cm x 40 cm x 20 cm (22' x 16' x 8') for low-cost flights.

These constraints ensure that your suitcase will easily fit into the spaces above the seats. Don't worry if your luggage is larger than a few millimeters; they are typically flexible and can therefore accept a brief fold for the duration of a journey.

Wheels are available on certain duffel bags. We do not suggest this option since it adds weight to your travel luggage and, in addition to limiting your comfort, certain airlines have weight limitations for carry-on luggage.

Indeed, while few businesses (particularly the big ones) check the weight of your cabin baggage (assuming it is not clearly overweight), low-cost airlines may ask you to place your cabin baggage in the hold if it surpasses a specific weight (again, this point should be checked in advance with your airline).

What all can you fit in a weekend bag?

When it comes to packing for a vacation, it is common to experience a headache. The travel bag is an excellent ally in this approach. To maintain it in shape and to avoid destroying the fabrics, remember to fill it with one or two cushions while it's empty.

To maximize the procedure, after the travel bag is empty, place it on your bed or dining table with the items you wish to bring with you.

Always begin with the heavier objects, such as your shoes (heel against the wall preferably).

Then maybe you can put on your slacks and blouses (jeans, which do not wrinkle, are recommended). They need to be folded up. You seldom fold your clothes in a holdall to save room because the bag is generally spherical.

When stacking your possessions, always arrange them in the direction of the bag, never perpendicular, to optimize the space provided by your travel bag.

Then, always wrap up a couple of T-shirts on top. Choose basic, consistently colored T-shirts that you may wear in a variety of settings. If you want to keep in shape while on vacation, you can bring sports equipment.

Finally, don't forget about socks and underwear; such absences are catastrophic.

In the internal pockets, you may store an iPad, a few books, and your toiletries (which contain only the essentials - toothbrush, deodorant, perfume, and some basic medicines). Finally, place your passports and personal stuff (keys, wallet, phone) on top and in the zip compartments.

It's all great; you're set to travel for the weekends with everything that you need.

No matter where your travels take you, a pair of comfortable shoes is a necessity. For cold- and warm-weather trips, you’ll be thankful to have supportive footwear with you for walking through the airport and sightseeing.

When it comes to recommending the best men’s travel shoes, Travel + Leisure ’s team of expert product testers tried 20 pairs of comfy kicks. Whether we were walking, commuting, running, or working out, we evaluated each pair based on comfort, quality, value, and fit to compile our list of options below. We love the supportive fit and minimal design of the Hoka Clinton 8 sneakers for all types of travel activities. If sneakers aren’t your jam, we also have picks for comfy boots for the cold and cushioned sandals for tropical vacations.

Best Overall

Hoka one one clifton 8.

• Comfort 5 /5
• Responsiveness 5 /5
• Stability 5 /5

There is plenty of support and cushioning, and the minimalist design makes these a versatile pair of daily walking or running shoes.

These are performance shoes designed for running.

Hoka sneakers are known for being some of the best on the market, and we think so, too, after testing and loving the Clifton 8 running shoes. From heel to toe, the design of the sneakers is simple, lightweight, and, most importantly, extremely comfortable after we put some serious miles on them  around the city over a six-month period. The mesh upper is breathable for days when your feet get a little sweaty, and the padded tongue adds extra cushioning, so it doesn’t dig into the top of your foot. Hoka’s signature Meta-Rocker sole provides the foundation for an ultra-comfy sneaker, as the curved design feels supportive and bouncy, and the EVA midsoles have just the right amount of cushioning for a soft and absorbing feel for walking long distances.

When it comes down to quality, we’re confident these shoes will last for plenty of trips that are walking-heavy. The Hoka Clifton offers a lightweight and comfortable way to easily navigate a city or explore your own town.

Best Budget

Vans comfycush old skool.

• Comfort 4 /5
• Quality 5 /5

These casual sneakers have just the right amount of arch support.

It might be difficult to slip these shoes on and off.

We’re happy to report that the Comfycush Old Skool sneakers have the same casual style as traditional Vans but boast built-in arch support that thoroughly impressed us with their comfort. Even after wearing these regularly for six months, the sole feels thick and supportive and the canvas upper fits snugly without feeling too tight. The high quality immediately stood out to us and the shoes felt more durable than other Vans we've tested.

The laces can be tied nearly up to the ankle, so they’re not the easiest shoes to slip on and off. However, we love that even with the laces tied up, the tongue doesn’t pinch or cause any discomfort, and we’re fans of the secure fit for walking long distances. While most Vans styles can cost over $100, we love that the Comfycush Old Skool sneakers are wallet-friendly and come with ample cushioning.

The Details: 3.5 to 13 | Canvas, cotton, rubber

Best Sustainable

Allbirds tree dasher 2.

The upper, midsole, and sole are all made using eco-friendly materials with a minimal carbon footprint.

They don't feel like heavy-duty shoes you would want to wear walking for miles.

We’re big fans of Allbird’s transparency when it comes to the sustainable materials and methods they use to make their products, including their Tree Dasher 2 sneakers. From heel to toe, these lightweight walking shoes are made with environmentally-friendly materials like a eucalyptus tree fiber upper, a sugarcane-based green EVA midsole, and an  FSC-certified natural rubber  outsole. We love that they're light enough that you could pack these without taking up too much weight in your luggage. Plus, after wearing these regularly for six months, we found them to be extremely comfortable, easy to take on and off, and they don't hurt on long flights.

Besides the sustainability factor, we love that the sneakers are super breathable, making them the ideal closed-toe shoe for tropical climates. While the soles are very soft and cushioned, we wish there was a tad more support for  walking long distances , but we were plenty comfortable while wearing the sneakers to work and running errands. When it rained, the upper did an excellent job warding off the elements, so we didn’t feel any dampness. After trying several pairs of Allbirds sneakers, these stood out for their breathable and sustainable design for traveling.

The Details: 8 to 14 | FSC-certified Tencel Lyocell (eucalyptus tree fiber), sugarcane-based green EVA, FSC-certified natural rubber

Allbirds Wool Runner Mizzles

• Quality 4.5 /5

They feel like wearing cozy slippers with arch support.

There was a small break-in period.

Allbirds continued to impress us during testing, so our next category winner goes to the brand’s Wool Runner Mizzles. Over a period of six months, these became a go-to everyday shoe as they're comfortable for whatever you have planned. Arguably the best part of these cozy kicks is that the upper is made with a plush ZQ merino wool that gives you the feel of a slipper without the appearance of a slipper. These sneakers don’t have the traditional sporty look of a running shoe — they look a bit more elevated or professional. And with ample arch support, cushioning, and traction on the bottom, these are the perfect shoes for wearing while walking around a city or for a  nice dinner .

At first, the tongue of the shoe dug into the top of the foot, but with just a few wears, the upper stretched out a bit, and it became a non-issue. However, we were pleased that the shoe fits true to size and continues to contour to the shape of the foot as more miles get put on the sneakers.

The Details: 8 to 14 | ZQ-certified merino wool, sugarcane-based green EVA, FSC-certified natural rubber

Best for Walking

On cloud 5 shoe.

• Comfort 4.5 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

The shoe is very lightweight and easy to slip on and off at the airport.

After six months of heavy, everyday use, the shoes began to break apart.

We think the On Running Cloud 5 sneakers are the best pair of kicks to slide on for comfort and support on the go. We found that the flexible polyester upper allows the shoes to easily slip on and off, making them the ultimate airport footwear. Plus, the brand’s Zero-gravity foam midsole and rubber sole have the perfect balance of support and flexibility. These are lightweight shoes made with high-quality materials, so they look stylish as well. While these sneakers are technically designed for running, we think they are best as walking shoes for travelers looking for a shoe with a more relaxed fit. Because of the lightweight materials, these are super easy to pack in a suitcase or backpack for saving weight and space in a carry-on.

The Details: 7 to 14 | Recycled polyester, Zero-gravity foam, rubber

Best for Workouts

Apl techloom tracer.

• Comfort 4.3 /5
• Value 3.5 /5

The soles feel very supportive, and the shoe itself is designed for low- to high-intensity workouts.

The shoes were a bit stiff at first.

We love a versatile pair of shoes like the APL Men’s TechLoom Tracer that combines comfort and support for a range of activities like walking, running or strength training. While these are technically performance sneakers designed for workouts, we found the kicks to be exceptionally supportive for walking through the city and traveling during a  weekend getaway .

And when you want to get in a quick workout at the hotel gym, we think the stiffer ankle and heel cushioning certainly helps with stability and support for leg day. Although the shoe has a solid amount of stiffness, APL’s Propellium EVA midsole and rubber outsole provide plenty of cushion and shock absorption. We found these sneakers run true to size, and the breathable lycra upper is flexible for foot width but also fits those with narrow feet perfectly, too.

The Details: 7 to 15 | Lycra, rubber

Blundstone Men’s Classic 550 Chelsea Boots

• Durability 3.5 /5

The leather and sturdy construction feel premium and durable.

The boot can’t be resoled.

To avoid frigid toes while  traveling in the cooler months , a pair of 550 Blundstones will do the trick. Crafted with a water-resistant leather upper and elastic sides for breathability, we were immediately impressed by the durable design of these boots. The construction of the boot allows for extreme comfort right out of the box with no break-in period. We found the boots run true to size, and because of the elastic sides, they fit nicely around the ankles without any tightness or discomfort. After wearing the boots in the mud in the countryside and during a rainstorm without any damage to the materials or wet feet, we’re confident these Chelsea boots will stand the test of time. The biggest drawback for us is that the shoes can’t be resoled, so you’ll want to make sure to take good care of them to prolong their longevity.

The Details: 4 to 14 | Leather, rubber

Best Sandals

Teva hurricane xlt2 sandals.

The straps are super comfortable, and the soles have the same support as sneakers.

We wish there were half sizes available.

The Teva Hurricane XLT2 Sandals are the perfect footwear to take you from  the beach  to the river in comfort. We love that these sandals don’t have a break-in period, as they were instantly comfy while wearing them for the first time and still feel like new after wearing them regularly for six months. The quick-dry polyester straps don’t dig in or cause any redness, and the EVA footbed is both supportive and cushioned. The sole is much more like a thick, durable sneaker or a running shoe than a cheap sandal. After three days of basically constant use, including in the pool and on the beach, we saw no visible wear. While we wish these Tevas came in half sizes, we love that there are three straps on either sandal that can be adjusted to customize the fit accordingly, so for that reason, we suggest sizing up if you’re in between sizes.

The Details: 5 to 17 | Polyester, EVA foam, rubber

Best Slip-on

Kizik men's lima.

• Comfort 4.8 /5
• Value 4.6 /5

They're breathable with excellent traction.

The heel can feel a bit loose.

Kizik thought about everything when designing the Limas — from the bouncy Rabbit Foam outsoles to extra ankle padding and a spacious toe box, these are some of the most comfortable shoes we tested. After wearing around the house for less than an hour, these shoes were broken in and ready for long walks. While these slip-ons have a looser heel than most sneakers, they don't chafe or slip while you walk. The knit uppers are incredibly breathable, so your feet don't become hot and sweaty even in warm climates, but the insoles are machine washable if you do find they need a refresh. These shoes are made of durable, high-quality materials that are great for packing and sure to last for years to come.

The Details: 4.5 to 15 | Knit, leather

Most Versatile

Thursday boots low top.

Thursday Boots

• Comfort 3 /5

These unique shoes combine the functionality of sneakers with the materials of a high-quality boot.

They needed a longer break-in period than we would have liked.

We love a pair of sleek sneakers that can be paired with any outfit and this pair from Thursday Boots blends the comfort of a sneaker with the durability of a boot. The outer is crafted with Natural Chromexcel Horween leather while the interior is lined with sheepskin for a soft and comfortable fit. The low tops also sport a dual density rubber outsole that improves traction without making you feel weighed down. While we do wish the shoes had a bit more arch support, they are still comfortable once broken in. They were also surprisingly breathable, considering the thick lining, and packed well in checked and carry-on bags.

The Details: 6 to 16 | Leather and sheepskin

Other Men’s Travel Shoes We Liked

The shoes below were close to making our list but did not make the cut due to several inconveniences during testing, including issues with durability and fit.

Hylo Light :  These sneakers are beyond comfortable, and they look nice enough to wear to work or the gym. However, after wearing them every day for several months, there was a noticeable amount of wear and tear (like, literal tears) that made us skeptical about their durability.

Tropicfeel Canyon Sneaker : These shoes fit well, they have great arch support, the laces don't pinch, and they're nice and breathable. However, we noticed when walking long periods of time, the insoles would slide up and out of the shoe because they aren't fully secured inside.

T+L expert product testers tried 20 pairs of boots, sneakers, and sandals over a period of six months to find men’s travel shoes with the best comfort, fit, value, and quality. Whether we were working in the office, running outdoors, or walking through the city, we rated each pair of shoes on a scale of one to five.

After unboxing the shoes, we did a thorough examination of the quality of the shoe. We asked our testers to look at their construction and note the initial quality of the materials. Then, we wore the shoes for three separate tests to judge the break-in period, the overall comfort after several hours of wear, and the durability of the materials after wearing the shoes for at least one full day (although many of our testers wore these shoes more than what we asked for).

In the end, the highest-scoring travel shoes we tested received glowing reviews for being exceptionally comfortable thanks to arch support and cushioning, fit perfectly right away with a minimal break-in period and are made with high-quality materials meant to last over the course of hundreds of miles.

Tips for Buying Men’s Travel Shoes

Size and width are key.

It’s important to have some wiggle room in your footwear to avoid possible discomfort when you’re on your feet all day. Whether you’re buying shoes in person or online, be sure to give yourself some time to try the shoes on before you leave the house. If your toes are pushed against the front or if the sides of your feet feel pinched, allow yourself enough time to exchange the shoes for a longer or wider size for optimal comfort.

Choose the right type of shoe for your destination

While sneakers might be your go-to shoe in general, there are plenty of other shoe styles, such as comfortable men's loafers , that are supportive enough for all-day wear. If you’re heading to a tropical destination, opt for a pair of sandals, and for a cold-weather trip, be sure to bring a pair of boots or warm sneakers.

Consider packing space

Travelers who prefer a carry-on suitcase should bring lightweight shoes that are more compact, like sneakers or sandals. If you’re heading to a spot where warmer shoes will be needed, consider wearing your boots or bigger shoes while traveling to save space.

To maximize suitcase space and protect your shoes, use a travel shoe bag and place them with the soles facing outward with the uppers toward each other. To prevent creases in sneakers or shoes with a fabric upper, you can stuff socks in to keep the shape while traveling.

It’s important to always read the manufacturer's instructions before cleaning a pair of shoes. If you’re on the go and don’t have access to a washing machine, you can spot-clean your shoes using water and soap if you’re in a pinch.

We recommend prioritizing travel shoes that are versatile, light, and easy to clean. Leather shoes travel well as they're quite durable and generally easy to clean, but do note leather tends to be heavier than other shoe materials. If you're thinking more about packing space and/or you're traveling to a warm-weather destination, textile shoes are great options as they tend to dry quickly and provide both breathability and comfort.

A guide to the very best shopping in Moscow

Sep 17, 2019 • 5 min read

While shopping in GUM department store be sure to check out its famous glass roof © Popova Valeriya / Shutterstock

Shopping in Moscow can be quite a daunting experience – you can walk for miles without finding anything but mass-market brands and overpriced boutiques. But, if you do it right, it can also be quite fun. Here are our top tips on how to get the most out of your shopping trip in Moscow.

Shopping malls 

There are many shopping malls all around Moscow, but there three that double as bona fide tourist attractions: GUM, TsUM and Detsky Mir, all within walking distance from each other. GUM is one of the oldest department stores in the country. It’s famous for the glass roof designed by one of Russia’s most celebrated architects, Vladimir Shukhov.  Today it serves as a high-class shopping mall. There are plenty of luxury shops, a supermarket that sells lots of signature Russian goods and several places to eat. Head to the more expensive  Bosco Cafe with a Kremlin view or, for a budget option, try the Soviet-style cafeteria Stolovaya No 57 . GUM also occasionally hosts contemporary art exhibitions in one of its three main aisles.

The Red Square and beyond: a guide to Moscow’s neighbourhoods

TsUM  is another shopping mall from the pre-revolutionary times. It’s the most luxurious store in the city, famous for its paper bags that many Muscovites carry around or post pictures of on Instagram to let everyone know they shop there. Full of haute couture boutiques, TsUM also has a rooftop restaurant Buro , frequented by Russian celebrities. Tsentralny Detsky Mir  children's store is perfect if you are looking for a gift for a kid or want to check out its awesome viewing platform with good views over central Moscow. At just R50 per ticket it’s a steal. 

Food stalls and markets 

There are two food markets that are worth checking out in Moscow.  Danilovsky Market  became the trailblazer of Moscow’s foodie revolution when it got an uplift in 2017. As well as many trendy food stalls, the market also hosts lectures, film viewing and even theatre productions, and it recently opened an antiques section. It’s an architectural landmark, a masterpiece of late Soviet modernism that looks like a UFO. Food at  Usachevsky Market  tends to be a bit more pricey and upmarket. Both markets also sell plenty of fresh produce, local cheeses and cured meats.

Antiques and flea markets 

Shopping can also be a way to get away from the major landmarks and explore some sights off the beaten path. Moscow’s #1 flea market is  Izmailovsky , located in and around the pseudo-historical complex 'Izmailovsky Kremlin' with its colourful walls and domes. Open daily, it’s best to come here on the weekend to catch better deals. Admittedly tacky, Kremlin has a handful of weird museums like the Vodka History Museum or Baba Yaga Museum (Baba Yaga is a Russian fairy tale character). Part of the market had been gentrified into creative cluster Vernissage , with hipster coffee shops, various workshops and Svalka , an enormous two-floor secondhand shop with everything from used books to vintage clothing.

For high-class antiques, rare books and icons head to Antikvarnaya Lavka (Antique Store) just off Bolshaya Nikitskaya street (5 Kalashny Pereulok). Here you can snag a real masterpiece – a painting or a sculpture – but the prices are quite steep. 

Four great day trips from Moscow

If you are looking for a more authentic place with less hustle, one option is the antiques market on the premises of vodka distillery Crystal (4 ul Samokatnaya), which you can reach by taking tram 20 to Samokatnaya ul from the exit of metro Chkalovskaya. The market is located in the basement of one of the red-brick factory buildings. There are plenty of antiques, books and various Soviet-time memorabilia, such as Stalin and Lenin busts. While at Crystal, be sure to check out great works of street art – they are all around the factory premises. 

For die-hard antique collectors there’s also a place right outside of Moscow – Novopodrezkovo market (also know as Levsha market). Take a suburban train from Leningradsky station to Novopodrezkovo (approximately half an hour), cross the tracks to the other side and there you’ll find it – a treasure trove of used books, vinyl records, clothing, paintings and antique furniture.   

Where to shop for Russian designs

Gosha Rubchinskiy might be the only Russian clothing designer of world renown, especially after his collaboration with Kanye West, but there are many more up-and-coming fashion stars worth checking out. One of the places to do it is KM20 , the place Moscow fashionistas, with streetwear brands from all over the world and a lot of very rare items. There's also one of the best vegetarian cafes in Moscow on second floor. 

GUM shopping mall has a two-storey store devoted to Russian designers –  Sektsiya (Section). Section sells products made by 50 Russian brands, from accessories to Heart of Moscow souvenir pins. Plus there’s a bar overlooking the Red Square. 

If you are not into high fashion, but still interested in getting a cool outfit with Cyrillic script, check out the creative cluster centred around two abandoned factories: Flakon and Khlebozavod . One of the biggest stores is Zaporozhets Heritage  at Flakon , which sells clothing and accessories styled after various Soviet pop culture icons. The northern part, Khlebozavod, hosts several shops like Yunost  and Khlebny  that take a more punk-rock approach to streetwear. After shopping, have a pint at a great local craft beer bar Svoboda  or a coffee at Floo .        

Sputnik 1985 is a Russian clothing brand specialising in hoodies and hats with quotes in Cyrillic and retro prints. The store is located in a courtyard on Pokrovka street (19 Ulitsa Pokrovka).
