Know before you buy
At 23 inches long, this bag generally fits within the standard carry-on size requirements for most major airlines. However, because it is a soft-sided duffel, you can easily compress it if the overhead bin space is tight.
The waxed canvas provides a natural, water-resistant barrier that protects your belongings during light rain or drizzle. While it is not fully waterproof for submersion, it is durable enough to handle typical travel conditions.
As you use the bag, the wax finish will scuff and crease, creating unique marks and color variations. This process, known as a patina, gives the fabric a vintage, lived-in aesthetic that is specific to your personal travel history.
Yes, the bag includes a detachable shoulder strap, giving you the flexibility to carry it by the padded grab handles or over your shoulder depending on your preference.
Absolutely. Its durable construction and spacious interior make it a great choice for the gym, providing plenty of room for shoes, a change of clothes, and a towel.
