Know before you buy
With dimensions of 20.5" x 12.5" x 10.5", this duffel generally fits within the standard carry-on size requirements for most major airlines. However, it is always recommended to check your specific airline's carry-on policy before traveling.
The 12-ounce cotton canvas features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which causes light rain or spills to bead up and roll off the surface. While it provides excellent protection for everyday travel, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
The Wells Duffel is crafted from durable 12-ounce canvas, which offers a soft, flexible structure. While it is not a rigid suitcase, it holds its shape well when packed, especially when the base is filled.
Yes, the bag features padded grab handles for hand-carrying and an adjustable shoulder strap for hands-free transport. The leather detailing adds durability to these high-stress points, ensuring comfort even when the bag is fully packed.
With a 42.3-liter capacity, this bag is sized perfectly for a long weekend or a 3-to-4-day trip. It comfortably holds several changes of clothes, a pair of extra shoes, and your essential toiletries.
The bag includes two dedicated zippered pockets—one internal and one external. These are designed to keep smaller items like your passport, keys, or charging cables secure and easily accessible without needing to dig through the main compartment.
