Know before you buy
At 24 inches long, this bag exceeds the standard carry-on size limits for most major airlines. It is best suited for checked luggage or road trips where you have more flexibility with space.
The Roosevelt Duffle weighs 6.64 lbs. Because it is constructed from thick, full-grain water buffalo hide, it has a substantial feel that prioritizes durability over lightweight portability.
Full-grain leather is naturally resilient, but we recommend occasionally applying a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the hide supple and prevent drying. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme moisture to maintain the integrity of the material.
The bag features a secure zipper closure protected by a top flap. This design provides an extra layer of security and weather protection for your belongings while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic.
Yes, the bag includes an adjustable and removable shoulder strap designed to distribute weight effectively. For shorter distances, you can also utilize the padded grab handles for a more balanced carry.
The interior is lined with a durable brown canvas. This material is chosen for its strength and ability to withstand the wear and tear of frequent travel while keeping your items organized.
