The Weekend Mini: When Utility Meets Nordic Luxury
Weekends begin the moment you zip open your bag. The Arsante Weekend Mini in Rich Black is built for travellers who refuse to choose between elegance and efficiency. Hand-cut in the Nordics from Italian full-grain bovine leather, every panel carries the quiet confidence of Swedish design—minimal, balanced, enduring.
Built for modern escapes
At 25 L, the Weekend Mini slides into overhead compartments yet swallows two days of wardrobe. The full-access U-shape opening lets you pack like a suitcase; twin interior pockets keep chargers, fragrance and passport organised, and a discreet exterior zip pocket secures on-the-go essentials.
Materials that never compromise
Leather: Grade-A full-grain bovine hide tanned in Tuscany for a deep black patina that only gets better.
Zippers: Japanese polished YKK hardware—buttery-smooth and corrosion-proof.
Craft: Small-batch production in a Nordic atelier ensures every stitch meets our founder’s eye for perfection and durability.
Design that speaks softly
Sculpted lines, zero superfluous seams and a logo-free silhouette let the material take centre stage. From boardroom red-eyes to coastal hideaways, the Weekend Mini is the understated statement piece.
Since 2010 — A Swedish view on luxury
Arsante was born to bring back the golden age of travel accessories: items that age with you rather than outdate you. Fifteen years later we still manufacture in Europe, source responsibly and ship worldwide—carbon-neutral.
