BEST DUFFLE BAG Florentine Medium Duffle
$479 $708 32% off buy AT DOONEY & BOURKEFew companies do leather bags quite as well as Dooney & Bourke, and the Connecticut-based accessories brand delivers on all fronts with its classic Florentine Leather Duffle Bag. As the name suggests, this unisex weekender is crafted from soft and supple Italian leather, with brushed gold-tone hardware and reinforced stitching. Measuring 21.5 by 13.5 inches in size, the bag is roomy enough for your clothes, shoes and toiletries, while small enough to throw in the backseat for a road trip, or in the overheard compartment on the plane.
What we like: interior and exterior pockets keep your essentials safely organized, while an included strap lets you wear this over the shoulder. Everything is made with exquisite attention to detail, from the handle wrap and tiny “feet” on the base (to prevent the bag from sitting on the floor) to the leather tanning process, which ensures remarkable depth of color while creating a beautiful, time-honored patina. Suitcases may be more common these days, but Dooney & Bourke’s duffle makes a case for carrying it old school.
most durable Samsonite Freeform Large Spinner
