Know before you buy
Yes, the 21-inch size is designed to meet standard airline carry-on requirements. However, we always recommend checking your specific airline's size policies before heading to the airport.
The vegetable oil tanning process is an eco-friendly, chemical-free method that preserves the natural strength and character of the buffalo leather. This results in a robust, long-lasting material that develops a unique patina over time.
Yes, the bag is equipped with six pockets in total. This includes four external pockets for quick-access items and two internal zippered pockets specifically designed to keep smaller accessories secure and organized.
The duffle features a versatile carry system with both padded grab handles and an adjustable shoulder strap. The strap can be adjusted to your preferred length for comfortable carrying, or removed entirely if you prefer using the handles.
To keep the leather in top condition, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a high-quality leather cream or balm specifically formulated for full-grain leather to prevent drying and maintain its suppleness.
The bag uses pure brass hardware, which is chosen for its durability and resistance to rust. While brass may naturally darken or develop a vintage-style patina with age, it will not corrode like cheaper metal alloys.
