KomalC24 Inch Leather Duffel Bags for Men and Women Travel Overnight Weekend Leather Bags Sports Gym Duffle for Men (Brown Distressed Tan)

Like many others I was looking for a classic leather duffel to replace my nylon and canvas bags that I have been travelling with for years. I started my search hoping to find something affordable and functional for weekend travel and perhaps even a week's excursion. I found a lot of choices on the market, too many looked too serious for what I wanted and too big....I wanted the bag that Indiana Jones would choose before heading out to find the Holy Grail. KomalC has the answers. So much so that I bought the 20" bag for short adventures and the 24" bag when I need to pack a few more items and would like a few less folds in my clothes. I spent hours taking measurements and calculating whether they would be too big or too small. Frankly everyone's needs are different but the 20" bag easily packs an extra pair of shoes, toiletries, pants, shorts, shirts and underwear for two to three days. The 24" bag is much more spacious and allows for 1.5x to 2x more packing space. Both bags are so nice that I enjoy just walking past them and looking at them or picking them up to feel the soft supple leather. The pictures on the website accurately depict what you get...natural leather with a matte finish that looks like its seen a few trips already, but sophisticated and stylish. They are both really nice pieces of high quality that easily justify the already reasonable prices. I only wish I had reason to buy more...and given time I am certain I will.

This bag beat all of my expectations. If you love the smell of leather, you will love this bag! This item was a gift and an item I know he will have for years to come. The quality is there and I was shocked I could find such a great bag for such a good price! It has a vintage look which is exactly what I wanted. My son packed for a three night stay and barely got everything in so it's sized for a short trip or weekend.

I bought this one and a 20 inch AARON LEATHER GOODS VENDIMIA ESTILO bag for comparison. Here are my observations.The one I ordered is the design without the shoe compartment. It's made of a relatively soft supple NUBUCK leather. Why is this important? Nubuck is buffed and sanded instead of finished with a protective coating, it is highly vulnerable to wear, as well as staining and other potential blemishes. Basically; it absorbs instead of repel stains. So that's something to keep in mind. If you don't want a very worn and possibly stained bag: you will need to make sure to use an industrial quality waterproofing and stain-resistant spray twice a year or so. The other bag, from Aaron Leather, is also buffalo hide but does not have a nubuck finish and is not as supple. But that finish will be easier to protect, so that's something to keep in mind.Construction and design: The strap is padded, and most importantly the bag is relatively lightweight compared to the other one, from Aaron Leather, that I bought. The zipper on this one is stronger and more durable. And the inside lining is a dark brown that will hide stains better. And both bags have similar interior pockets and organization. The stitching is uneven on this bag though. The stitch lengths are variable, which is not something you will see in higher quality bags: stitch lengths on a bag should be even and consistent. This one didn't come with a dust bag, which is something to keep in mind. The Aaron Leather bag did, which is nice.Summary:I prefer this bag to the Aaron Leather bag because of it's weight and the softer leather. But nubuck is too hard to care for, for me. So unfortunately, I will be sending this one back (probably sending both bag). I also prefer the 24 inch size for a weekender. It's more practical. The stitching wasn't a huge consideration. It's a cosmetic versus functional issue and at this price point (under $100) something had to give, which I expected.

The bag is a great size for two - three day trips, maybe 4-5 days if you pack light. I have used the bag for a three day trip and it was perfect for my packing style. The bag seems to be a good quality leather with heavy duty zippers and clips for the strap. This is my first leather weekend type bag, in the past I have always used heavy canvas material style bags, this bag is significantly heavier empty than the canvas type bags I have previously used. After one trip with the bag I am very pleased with the size and quality, would purchase again.

I have had this bag for 6 months and it has held up well so far. It looks like a very expensive bag and I have gotten compliments on it. I coated it with saddle soap and it softened it. Gets better with use. I highly recommend it.

The bag is very attractive and has plenty of room for a week trip. The shoe holder is great to keep my running shoes separate from my clothes. The only negative for the bag is its weight. It is rather heavy and you will notice it even empty, but fully packed, running through an airport will be a workout.

I purchased this bag as a retirement gift for a co-worker. I thought I ordered the regular bag but got the gym style instead. I’m not really sure if that was on my end but it was quickly corrected. Did a replacement order and got the correct bag the same day I put the return in the mail. FAST DELIVERY!!!! Now about the bags since I’ve seen two of the three styles. OMG!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!! It really depends on your preference but you can’t go wrong. My co-worker needs more room for clothing vs a shoe compartment. I myself loved the gym style bag. They have many different little compartments in both bags. These bags look and feel durable and I know will last a long time. In each bag there is a note from the craftsman, it tells you how to care for the bag and a little about the business. They are REAL leather and the smell (Which I personally love) will prove that. They are crafted beautifully! I mean, they are gorgeous bags!! I know you’re saying it’s just a bag but order one and see if you don’t sit there and admire it!! Once the world gets back to running as normal and my job picks back up this is definitely on my list to buy for myself.
