Know before you buy
The primary difference is the overall length and capacity. The 20-inch model measures 50.8 cm in length, while the 24-inch model measures 60.96 cm, providing more internal volume for longer trips.
Full-grain leather is durable and develops a unique patina over time. To maintain its condition, we recommend occasional conditioning with a leather cream to keep the material supple and protected from drying out.
Yes, the shoulder strap is detachable, allowing you to carry the duffel using only the sturdy top handles if you prefer a cleaner look or need to stow the bag in tight overhead compartments.
The bag features one spacious central compartment and two exterior pockets. While the exterior pockets offer quick access to items like passports or keys, the main compartment is secured with high-quality YKK zippers for reliable closure.
The brass hardware is chosen for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Like all natural brass, it may develop a slight vintage-style oxidation or patina with heavy use, which complements the rugged look of the buffalo leather.
The 20-inch version typically fits within standard airline carry-on size restrictions. However, we recommend checking your specific airline's carry-on dimensions before traveling, especially if you opt for the larger 24-inch model.
