SID & VAINTravel Holdall Yale Large Duffel Real Leather 53 cm Weekender Duffle Men's Bag Brown

My first impression was how well the bag was packaged and protected. The second thing I noticed unfortunately was a strong chemical (like petrol) smell. I hope it will go away in time. The leather is a lovely colour and very supple. As other people have said it is quite heavy but I would rather that than something flimsy. All of the zips and fasteners work well and the bag is well lined. With a good sized main compartment and several handy pockets it will be more than adequate for a weekend away with style. Overall an excellent quality product.

I am so pleased with this beautiful genuine leather bag. Its made from really high quality thick leather. The craftsmanship is superb and I can see this bag easily outliving me! Its got 7 outer pockets and a couple of inside pockets. The zips are metal and they are double stitched. If you do accidentally scratch the leather with your fingernail you simply rub the scratch and it goes. I can't find fault with this bag and I can highly recommend this product. It arrived all the way from Germany in 5 days and a full two days before the due date. Five stars for the bag, the company and the delivery company.

This bag 'in the flesh' is not as high quality as the one in the photo but not too far off. I'm not sure the leather is calf but whatever it is, is very tough and also very heavy. The design is good with the zip pockets on each end of the bag being useful. This also means that the main zip on the top of the bag is less stressed as it doesn't run the full length of the bag - meaning that comments on their other bags about the zips being weak are probably less of a problem with this bag. All in all, the design is good and the bag is strong and quite good looking for the money. On the downside, it is not quite as 'classy' as a really high quality bag and is very heavy.

This is an exceptionally nice piece and the photos just about do it justice. Very well made with very nice expensive looking leather that smells wonderful. One large zipped pocket inside along with two other unzipped pockets on the opposite internal side. Outside there are large zipped pockets at either end along with two on the sides. It comes very well packaged, in a soft cloth bag and ample outer packaging. At the price I cannot recommend it high enough.

This is a great weekend or overnight bag - bought it for a couple of overnight stays at hotels for a drive to and back from the Austrian alps. The bag looks great, has plenty of room for all your gear - even managed to get some of the wife's stuff in their too (hair straighteners, shoes, wash/make-up bag etc). Only slight gripe is that the shoulder bag could be a bit sturdier, but not enough of a gripe to lose a star. V. pleased with the purchase!

Good quality, plenty of space for the long weekend and maybe longer.

Excellent quality bag.

Based on previous reviews I was confident I'd ordered a decent bag; however my expectations were well & truly exceeded. Quality leather; holds loads of kit and looks far more expensive than the purchase price.

UPDATE: agosto 2024: questa borsa ce l'ho ancora ed è sempre come nuova. La uso spesso per i viaggi, in macchina e a volte in aereo, è sempre la mia favorita anche se un po' pesantina quando piena. L'odore di pelle c'è ancora ma a me piace. Ogni tanto le dò la crema apposta per la pelle per mantenerla.2019: Arrivata con un giorno di anticipo. Adoro il colore, l'odore, il materiale. Ottimo tutto. Valutate che la pelle è un po' rigida quindi pesa un po' anche solo vuota. Riaggiornero la recensione dopo il primo utilizzo. Comunque aspetto estetico davvero impeccabile.Riaggiornamento: Con questa borsa si fa davvero una bella figura. L'ho riempita al massimo e rimane resistente. Ha tante tasche quindi è utile per farci stare tante cose dentro. Allego una foto
