# Deceptive Luxe Carryalls The 'Gold Brick Weekender' Carries Your Goods with Elegance By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-08-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-weekender References: [fancy](http://fancy.com/things/247452493989024705/Gold-Brick-Weekender-by-Sprayground) & [sprayground](http://www.sprayground.com/the-gold-brick-weekender-sprayground.html) The 'Gold Brick Weekender' simulates gold in an effort to make your [weekend travel plans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/72hour-backpack) a little more opulent. Bag brand Sprayground designed the weekender as part of a collection of [gold bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-groove-collection). Though the Gold Brick Weekender isn't made of actual gold, the sleek exterior does a good job of imitating it. Sprayground's bag is made of water-resistant polyester fabric. The interior features several compartments so that you can sort and carry whatever you need. A large main compartment takes up a majority of the space while several side pockets let you organize your objects. A large interior pocket, side zipper compartments and a [sneaker compartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectors-duffle) take advantage of the amount of space available. A hidden 'stash pocket' is also included. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Deceptive Luxury:** Opportunity for brands to create products that simulate luxury materials to provide an opulent experience at a lower cost. - **Imitated Innovation:** Potential for companies to develop products that mimic high-end materials or designs to offer affordable alternatives. - **Functional Elegance:** Demand for stylish and sophisticated products that also offer practical functionality for consumers on-the-go. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Accessories:** Brands can capitalize on the trend by creating luxury-inspired accessories made from cost-effective materials. - **Travel and Luggage:** Opportunity to develop travel bags that imitate the look and feel of premium materials, providing a luxurious travel experience. - **Product Design:** Companies specializing in product design can explore innovative materials and methods to create affordable luxury products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Travel Nylon Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gry-mattr-weekender-bag.md) - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md) - [All-Black Travel Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldwin-4.md) - [Chic Weekend Jaunt Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carl-friedrik-72hour-backpack.md) - [Professional Long Weekend Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bennett-winch-weekender.md) - [Stylishly Functional Weekender Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-than-basics.md) - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Convenient Garment Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfday-travel-roller-bag.md) - [Textural Luggage Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carryon-x-core-collection.md)
