These leather duffel bags merge the best of vintage travel apparel with modern features. Kendal & Hyde have been successful in its Kickstarter campaigns before, this time with a bag that is modeled off of 1940s arch top duffels.
These bags are made from strong American and Canadian-sourced full grain leather and a canvas liner. Using things like oak and mimosa-branch bark, the beautiful leather is vegetable-tanned to use an environmentally friendly way of creating strong, vintage-looking leather. In addition to being built to last, they have excellent utility details like an integrated computer sleeve, water bottle holder and passport pocket.
With a slogan describing the leather duffel bags as, "authentically vintage looking enough to have been your grandfather's," the company aims to bring class and style back to travelling.
