- Leather 24 inch Duffel Bag Travel Sports Overnight Weekend Leather Duffle Bag for Gym Sports Cabin Holdall bag

Okay so I don't write too many reviews for products or services that I purchase. I just don't have the time - but for this particular piece, I had to find the time to do it. Yes, it is *that* awesome. First of all, if I am being 100% honest, I wasn't expecting a whole lot when I bought this. I just needed a decent bag for light traveling and for a leather bag, the price was right. I admit that I didn't read every line of the description and didn't read a lot of the reviews. I was shocked, surprised, and extremely happy when I got the package, opened the box, and extracted a carefully (and skillfully) packed plastic bag with the item inside. I could tell - even through the plastic - that the feel and weight of the leather was way above what I was expecting. While carefully cutting open the plastic, I took note of the fact that every single metal buckle, eyelet, connector, and zipper pull had been individually wrapped in foam and tape to protect the surrounding leather bag - that had itself been folded neatly - with a clear intent to protect it. As the bag opened, I was greeted by the awesome and amazing smell of freshly (and naturally) tanned leather. For those who may not know, the leather you buy in most stores is tanned in factories using chemicals that not only result in a lower "smell factor," but also have the effect of degrading the leather itself - thus shortening its life. Fresh and naturally tanned leather has a unique and (for me) pleasing aroma that reminds me of the leather tack and gear stores where I grew up. Some think it's unpleasant, but to me - it is a huge memory trigger and I love it. For those of you who may find it overpowering - relax and chill. Once it's been out of the plastic and exposed to air for about 24 hours, that smell will become subdued and all you will be left with is the subtle underlying smell of high-quality leather. As for the bag itself, the craftsmanship that went into making it is worth way beyond 5 stars. It was clearly lovingly hand-made by someone with skills beyond that of a simple leatherworker. In fact, it is nearly a work of art. The leather itself is just the right thickness; the colors are both striking and beautiful; the canvas liner is thick and sturdy - and even the side compartments are canvas-lined! Finally, all of the stitching is exquisite and clearly done with strength and longevity in mind. The reality is that you could easily spend ten times as much (or more) for a bag with some "famous" bozo's name on the outside - made in some factory somewhere with the cheapest leather and components they could find - and get less than one tenth of the quality, energy, and love put into this product. I used it this past weekend for the first time and I will say after doing so that I can easily see this bag lasting twenty years or more - which is something you don't find in "luggage" products anymore. Honestly, I don't think this type of quality has *ever* existed in leather bags. My advice is to buy as much and as many of Komal's products as you can before she's famous. I know I plan to...

This leather bag is just what I needed. The quality is obvious and will last for years to come. Mine, however, was definitely not the color pictured, but after a few minutes it grows on you- not a deal-breaker. The odor is negligible. I mean it's animal hide. It's fine. Also, the picture shoes a different set of pocket options than what I got. There are two zipped pockets, one on each end. There is also one outside pocket in the front of the bag, looks nice, closes with a buckle. There is also an inside zipped pocket. They did, however, listen to the gripes about the removable shoulder harness and put a very nice removable system in place! The shoulder strap is easily put on or off, and is high quality, fine leather with a buckle and strap for length adjustment- along with a slider of padded leather to cover the buckle system with for ease on ones shoulder. VERY happy with this. The strap's connectors seem to be very well made and even swivel in order to move with your body. Awesome, really. I can't say enough how I'm glad a company listened to it's reviewers to fix this problem. I do, however, wish there were a couple of more improvements and I'll have to make them myself. For instance, the bottom of the bag is simply leather.. gonna get scuffed pretty quickly at the airport. A few rubber feet, or even some rivets would help. Also, there is no bottom to the inside of the bag to keep it square, ya know? It needs a piece of thick cardboard or plastic to help keep it's shape. I was going to give it 4 stars because of the color difference and these little things, but the more I think of it, the more it REALLY is a five star bag. I'll feel like a world traveler with it. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

My grandma was a seamstress who worked with high quality leather, strong perfect stitching, and heavy duty smooth zippers with strong pulls. She would examine every cm of a product looking for the tiniest imperfection or sign of substandard quality. She taught me to do the same. My friends and I love shopping for handbags and they accuse me of being a snob, I always find at least one or two things I don't like. This bag is wonderful and perfect in every way. The smell is exactly what a perfect leather product should smell like. The leather is so thick, strong, and soft! The look and smell are immediately very sexy. The stitching on the entire bag is perfect. Heavy duty, quality thread with lots of double stitches. Zippers are heavy duty and work perfectly smooth, of course they are also perfectly stitched in. All hardware is covered with foam padding. Then the canvas lining on the inside is tight against the leather, not like in handbags where the lining inside moves. It's a beautiful hunter green, perfectly smooth with no wrinkles. Both pockets on the ends of the bag are large and there are also pockets inside. I think all the pockets are the perfect size and in th perfect location. And the straps are beautiful and perfect and have thick padded place that would sit on top of your shoulder, hard to describe that even the padding seems unusually high quality. After I finished examining the bag I got the warm fuzzies. I bought this to be a gift to my husband who travels a lot and I'm so excited to give it to him. But I also think it would impress my grandma so much that I must buy her one also! I think she may get the warm fuzzies too! No one looking at the bag would think it was $80. It is worth so much more, but I'm so glad it's at this price point because a more expensive bag wasn't in my budget, and buying multiples at this price is so doable. And I don't want to forget the excellent packaging and presentation. Listen to the good reviews, if anything the 5 star reviews are an understatement!

This a great bag made with care by someone with great knowledge of their craft. Plus the small business left a card that was hand signed which shows that they truly care about the consumer and their product 5 out of 5

I was delighted when I opened the package and disappointed when I saw that the strap is not removable and this fact wasn't mentioned in the description of the bag. That was a big one for me because my husband never uses the strap on his bags. I think the manufacturer could easily remedy this and then it would be a five star product. I will probably take it to a shoe shop and have him make the strap removable or take it off all together. The bag itself is very nice and arrived in a colorful outer bag made of Indian fabric that is great for shoes or dirty laundry when on a trip. The smell was strong at first, but wore off relatively quickly. it doesn't say this in the detail. x

This is the second bag I have purchased from this vendor. I needed a small, flexible weekend bag to fit in the ridiculously small trunk of my new convertible roadster. I bought the 28” bag last year and have used it three times for two to three day get always. It gets stuffed in the trunk with everything else packed all around it. It’s held up beautifully. The leather has aged nicely. It shows no ill wear despite some mild abuse. The initial strong leather/tanning smell is gone. It’s really a beautiful bag. So on our last trip, we decide to ditch the small, ridged carry on bag that my wife was using, and get the 24” bag to compliment the 28” bag we’ve had for a year. I’ve been informed that I get the smaller bag. The leather looks beautiful and all of the stitching and finishing on the new bag looks very good. The zippers work great and my wife likes the side pockets for shoes. I don’t plan on flying with this bag and letting the airline luggage handlers have their way with it, but as a weekend get away bag In the trunk of my car, it’s fantastic.

I bought this bag because I’m always having to carry around two changes of clothes and some gym gear. I previously owned what one would call a normal gym bag. It was flimsy I broke the zippers and it didn’t contain smell. Now I only paid $30 for that bag and I got my money’s worth before deciding to get something a little more durable and reliable. I recommend this bag if you are looking for a serious gym bag. It gives that old school feel while also feeling extremely tough. On top of that the hardware itself on the bag seems tough. You can tell when something is made cheap and this bag does not feel like that at all. When shipped each leave of metal was wrapped in foam and was protected from any slight chance of damage. The interior is definitely a tough fabric like described also. Along with a single pocket on the outside there is a interior pocket for keys or a wallet maybe some headphones. Update: bags going on two years. I ended up having to repair the leather shoulder strap. Again, this was using this bag every day as a gym/general carry bag for things that included my lunch, some supplements, and gym gear. I definitely got my monies worth seeing as I’m still using it. Additionally the leather has aged quite nice and the zippers are all In working order.

I think this may be my first Amazon review.... the bag made me do it! Fair warning, I haven't done anything except unwrap it and pack it up, but so far I am in love. The bag is SPACIOUS. I normally have to use a duffel plus 2 or 3 totes for shoes, makeup bags, etc, but everything fit into the duffel. I do short weekend trips quite often, and will post an update if anything breaks. The bag appears to be high quality, with every attention to detail. PROS: -Adjustable/removable strap with padded shoulder piece. Strap has a nice length range (gets really long). The 24 inch bag I got DOES have a removable shoulder strap, contrary to previous reviews. I think the seller may have modified the design. -Beautiful leather, packaged in reusable bag -DID NOT SMELL, contrary to other reviews -Stylish, looks expensive -Great value for the price CONS: Only con I can see so far is the bag is pretty huge on my frame (I'm 5'1"), but I wanted a roomy bag. Not the bags fault. - Lois Lane's daughter, SuperGirl

EXCELLENT product!!!!!!!!! Purchased for weekend trips on my motorcycle. Just the right amount of space, top-quality, superbly tanned leather, excellent stitching, rivets, and buckles. I recommend massaging it generously with any moisturizer (body or hands) to make it even softer and waterproof for a vintage look. I highly recommend it; it's very beautiful and stylish. No, I've already ordered a second one as a surprise gift for my girlfriend. Kiss from Italy

Die Tasche ist wie beschrieben und qualitativ hochwertig, das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut. Ich habe mir noch einen Taschenboden angefertigt und reingelegt...jetzt ist sie für mich zumindest perfekt

My husband loves this bag great quality and looks fantastic, classy.

I ordered 2 bags for Christmas presents, one for my husband and one for my son. If I could give a 10 start rating I would. The quality of these bags are excellent. The zips are sturdy and heavy duty so chances of giving up are slim. The leather is of good quality and the lining inside is nice and sturdy as well. These bags will last if you know how to take care of leather. The size is ideal for a weekend away or a short trip. Lots of packing space. Yes there is a slight smell, but this is what you get when buying genuine leather! The leather smell is not off putting at all and will in time fade. I also love the fact that the manufacturer does not use any chemicals during the process of making these bags! I would highly recommend the purchase.

Recently brought this bag , I don't normally leave reviews but in this case I will . The bag came so well packaged I was actually impressed , wrapped in plastic and also a cotton protective bag for when storing . All fixings were wrapped , the quality is much more then the price and I would expect to pay much more in a store perhaps $400 mark . Go ahead buy you won't regret .
