Hi,

I came across a great tan canvas and leather duffel bag at the airport. It had a canvas top with a leather base and leather handles. The bag was embossed with the logo of the bank Allen and Company.

Was wondering if anyone was aware of such a bag, or could help me locate the manufacturer. The key here, in my mind, is the Allen and Company embossing

thanks

Allen & Company is an investment bank, so sounds to me like it was branded for them (to give out to customers or employees). Could be made by anyone then...

Yes, Allen and Co is an investment bank and it was most likely a tchotchke.

it was not a rolling duffel.

Most of the banker bags are made by Warden Brooks in New Canaan, CT. Might be worth checking if they made it. Unfortunately, they're not likely to sell you a single-bag, but maybe you can convince them you're having a sample made?
