When adventure calls, you need to be ready to answer. With our signature leather duffle bags collection, saying “hello” to whatever awaits you has never been this easy. Gone are the days of second guessing your chances of exploring new territory or conquering new feats—everything you need to take with you is effortlessly stored in our spacious bags, ready to accompany you and acquaint you with the simpler way of living.
Our duffle bags are full-grain leather or waxed canvas with leather trim. Full-grain is the top layer of the hide, left whole, so it gets better with wear instead of peeling or cracking. The Roosevelt line is water buffalo leather, the Ryder Reserve line is American bison, and the Jefferson and Walker lines are cow leather. We design them in Matthews, North Carolina, and have made them since 2009 with partner workshops in India and Mexico. Prices on this page run from $349.95 to $899.95.
