Australian travel product designer July has released a sleek new carry-on bag called the 'Carry All Weekender Plus.' As the name suggests, the bag was purposely designed for shorter, weekend trips, boasting a unique clam-shell opening for quick and easy packing.

Despite its compact size and on-the-go design, the 'Carry All Weekender Plus' does provide travelers with an exceptional amount of packing room. The bag is equipped with 50L of capacity while remaining an acceptable carry-on size by all domestic and international airlines. The bag's other features include two internal zipped compartments, two large internal padded pockets for laptops and other sensitive gear, a pass-through band for easy attachment to other luggage, and a detachable shoulder strap.

Another standout feature is the bag's 'Quick Pass' technology -- a magnetized pocket that provides travelers with single-handed access to their most important items.
