Recommend a weekender, holdall or duffel bag

[Kaplan]

I'm looking for a nice hand/shoulder bag for shorter trips.

Something like these:

Varvatos leather duffel bag, Varvatos weekender, Offerman travelbag, Mulberry clipper.

Leather would be good, but a nice looking one in treated canvas might do it.

Do you have any recommendations about brands or specific styles? (Preferably from Europe due to shipping and import costs from the US.)

I recently sold a Customhide backpack on the B&S forum. It was built like a battleship. Very heavy, beautiful leather with tremendous construction. They also make weekender bags which, I would assume, feature the same quality materials and construction. The backpack was unlined, but I don't know if that applies to the weekend bags as well. Here is a link.

Here is a simple one that will age well from the UK.

Wow, very interesting. Cheap and looks well crafted.

What's your budget? I recently sold some Swaine Adeney Brigg holdalls on B&S. They were extremely nice. At a slightly lower price point I highly recommend Filson.

I just picked up this one when I was in Argentina - and love it. Pricing compares well with custom hide bag as well.

Also keep seeing this one on ebay which looks pretty nice - and has gotten good feedback.

Let us know which you decide on and how it turns out.

Glaser Duffel: http://www.glaserdesigns.com/Assets/...DuffelBag.html

It's available in different leathers now. Call them to get samples. You've got to see the dark espresso calfskin.

I got one off of ebay and sent it back due to poor quality. I'll post up the pictures later.

I really like the Brady line, but it's too pricey for me after shipping, etc.

Enter Filson!

rossi & caruso have what look like beautiful bags ... does anyone know where they can be purchased online?
