Travel Bags

Leather travel bags are built for the weekend trip, the carry-on flight, and the overnight stay. This category is for travelers who want a bag with enough room for a few days of clothes and the toughness to survive being tossed into overhead bins and car trunks, all wrapped in a hide that ages into something better than the day you bought it.Choosing the right size and shapeThe classic duffle is the workhorse here: a soft, roomy barrel you can pack fast and squeeze into tight spaces. A holdall or weekender covers two to four days of essentials, while a briefcase-style carrier suits business trips where you need documents and a change of clothes in one hand. Think about how you travel before you pick a size, since a bag that is too large tempts you to overpack past the carry-on limit.Why leather earns its place on the roadTravel is hard on a bag. Full-grain and thick cowhide leather resist scuffs, and the small marks they pick up read as character rather than damage. Look for reinforced base panels, sturdy carry handles, a detachable shoulder strap for hands-free stretches, and a well-anchored zipper. These are the parts that take the strain when a bag is packed heavy.Packing and careLeather does not love being soaked or left damp, so wipe it down when you get home and let it dry away from direct heat. An occasional conditioning keeps the surface from drying out between trips; the leather care guide covers the routine.Rounding out your kit, pair a duffle with a leather backpack for a personal item, add a slim leather wallet for travel documents, or browse the wider leather bags collection. For a specific capacity or layout, we make custom weekender and duffle bags.
