Leather 21 inch Travel Duffel Bags

keep in mind while writing this review I have not actually traveled with the bag yet so I’m not sure how travel-worthy it will be. Should this bag not hold up under normal travel conditions for my trip next month I will then amend my review. However upon first impressions it appears to be a nice bag. I am a gal 5'1" and 120lbs so I didn't want too big or heavy of a cary-on bag so I opted for the 20" rather than the identical style 24" bag. The 20" turned out to be a nice size for me! It actually turned out to be just a hair larger, more like 21". It is much sturdier and heaver than I thought it would be. The leather is beautifully stained a rich chocolate brown vintage color. It is rugged, sturdy, and thick! I must admit It does have a slight smell to it, but it is the smell of newly tanned leather nothing horible. I think the smell will dissipate over a few days. I feel like if you throw a few scented dryer fabric sheets in it that may help do the trick as well. It also came with a sturdy double bonded leather and nylon shoulder strap and a cute matching luggage tag. However I wish the 2 top zippers had a large enough opening designed for a TSA travel lock to pass through to help secure it from accidentally opening incase I was forced to check-it. I also wish the two hand carry handle straps were attached completely around the whole bag to help give it more support and structure. I am also confused as to why the smaller 20" size is more expensive than the same style larger 24" size, but not by much and I feel it's still a great value for the quality of the bag you get. If you are expecting a buttery soft purse style leather bag then this is not the bag for you. But if you want a nice-looking, rugged, hardworking, sturdy, leather travel bag..... then so far this is it!

I am taking a trip abroad where I am unable to use the small, rigid, carry-on piece of my luggage set, & instead was told that my carry-on item had to be “soft sided.” This bag fit the size restrictions of the airline but surprisingly holds a large volume of must-have items that I need close at hand (especially on an extended flight!). I loved the smell of the leather when I removed the bag from it’s packaging. It is buttery soft & the type of leather treatment that was used really gives it the vintage look I wanted. Being able to choose whether to carry it using the handles or shoulder strap was a plus as well. As other reviews pointed out, it truly is “soft sided” and does NOT stay “open” while packing your items inside, but as long as you are aware of this prior to purchasing, I don’t see why that would be an issue. I like it so much that I’m probably going to order additional ones in different sizes. Highly recommend this item!

I bought this leather duffel bag for my dad’s birthday, and he absolutely loves it! The quality of the leather is top-notch, and he couldn’t stop talking about the rich leather smell and how sturdy it feels. He’s been traveling for over 20 years and said this is hands down the best bag he’s ever received. He’s actually planning to use this over his usual luggage from now on! It’s incredibly well-made, and he was really impressed with the details and craftsmanship. He even called it the best bag he’s ever gotten, and he’s not one to make that kind of statement lightly. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable bag, this one is a winner!

It's a very nice, good quality leather bag suitable for a one/two night getaway. Delivery was less than 24 hours after ordering which is very impressive. I read some reviews regarding the 'smell', but the only 'smell' I am able to detect is of quality leather. No chemical or other smell at all and, I have an acute sense of smell. The side pockets are suitable for paperwork or a passport but not for anything of heft. This may change with use though as the leather relaxes and stretches a bit but, for now, I wouldn't want to force anything in there and damage the zipper. The shoulder strap does have an adjustable pad so it will sit against your shoulder regardless of the length you require. I very much like the color. It's masculine and think it represents a great value for the money. I should mention that the shape will tend to lay flat after unboxing due to packing but with a few uses it will relax and open up, making future use more manageable . Regarding the zipper...I read a few reviews stating the zipper broke. I have not had any issues as of yet and will report any if I do but for now, I highly recommend this bag.

This was. Christmas gift for my husband and it exceeded my expectation. It’s well worth the money, heavy duty and very manly. He loves it!!

This is a well madeeather overnite bag. It does not hold as much as say a nylon gym bag which would qualify as a carry on. It is also a bit heavynif you have to carry it over long distances. It does have a nice style and if the weight won't be a problem and you want a stylish overnite bag this is it.

I’ve owned the distressed tan with shoe pocket for 4 years, and I still absolutely love it. It’s super durable and looks and feels waaay more expensive than it actually is. Take care of it and it can easily be an heirloom item. People tend to think it costs around $500.

I bought this bag for my dad for his birthday. He wanted a durable leather bag that just gets better with age. This bag was just that. The pockets are strategically placed and it’s very spacious. The way this bag patinas is gorgeous. Highly recommended! I couldn’t believe the quality of this bag at such a reasonable price!
