Leather Duffel Bag & Toiletry Bag Combo for Men/Women 24 inch Travel Sports Overnight Weekend Leather Duffle Bag for Gym Cabin Holdal bag

I bought a few different bags for comparison before choosing a keeper. This was quite good, but I wound up keeping a different one because it was comparable quality, but cheaper.Reviews of all the bags (in no particular order):- A Jaald Store 24" Genuine Leather Mens Duffel Gym Sports Travel Weekend Carry on Luggage BagI'm honestly amazed at the positive reviews. I bought 5 similar leather overnight bags for comparison, and this one was by far the worst. It looked cheap, the material was stiff, and it did not look like it would improve with age. The handles were clearly not rolled leather inside, and had "breaks" between whatever was used to stuff them. I'm not even totally sure it was real leather. It looked and felt like bad fake leather. Two stars because $75 isn't terrible for a leather(ish) overnight bag, even if it is low quality, but your $ could be spent much better on a different bag.--$75---** 2 Stars-Komal's Passion Leather 24 Inch Duffel Travel Gym Sports Overnight Weekend Leather Bag (rectangular)And-Komal's Passion Leather 24 Inch Duffel Travel Gym Overnight Weekend Leather Bag(circular)The two bags I ordered from Komal's were the highest quality of the five. They were beautiful dark cognac brown and had nice thick leather. The straps came with a shoulder pad and seemed to be sewed on very securely. I will say the straps seemed a little stiffer than the rest of the bag, and may need to be replaced after a few years, but these bags felt like they would last for a decade. The leather also had natural distressing that I think will look better with age, rain drops, jostling, etc. It would be nice if the buckles were magnetic instead of requiring actual buckling/unbuckling (i'll sacrifice a little security for convenience, personally), but that was not an option on any of the bags. It seemed like more stuff would fit in the rectangular bag, and that it would stay more organized that it would in the cylindrical bag. Like all of the bags, this had a green velvet interior. The zippers seemed sturdy. I didn't love that they were black and seemed to stand out quite a bit, but it wasn't a huge deal. It blows my mind that these were so reasonably priced.--$110 each--***** 5 Stars (rectangular), ****4.5 Stars (circle)Handmadecraft Genuine Leather Handmade Vintage Duffel Luggage Travel Gym BagAbsolutely beautiful bag. The leather was lighter than the other bags, but not in a washed-out way. Of all the bags, I actually think this leather will improve the most with battering and age. Leather was supple (though not as supple as the Komal's) and thick. It actually seemed a little thicker than the Komal's and might hold up better over the long term, but both brands made bags that will last years and years. I decided not to keep this one because I didn't want to have to undo the buckle for the flap over the front every time I needed something, though I thought the flap looked awesome and I liked that it hid the zippers, but like I said, inconvenience is big for me. The main dealbreaker here was that the bag was too small for anything other than a short overnight. I am a girl that likes to have a few outfit options when I travel, and this just didn't seem like it would fit much. Plus there were no big pockets for organization.--$73---**** 4 StarsHandmadecraft "Byto" Genuine Leather Travel Shoulder Holdall Vintage Bag Unisex BrownA beautiful bag that was extremely similar to the rectangular Komal’s. Hoenstly it was basically the exact same except for a couple minor things. It was a little lighter in color, and the leather felt like it might be a tiny bit thinner (but it may just be that the lining on the Komal’s was thicker). The strap on the one also was the only one that didn’t come with a shoulder pad. I incrementally preferred the color of the Komal’s, but this is the one I ended up keeping. The very small variations just weren’t enough to justify spending an extra $50 on the Komal bag, especially because I was extremely happy with this one as well.--$69---***** 5 Stars for the price, 4.5 Overall.**If you thought this review was helpful, it would be awesome if you could answer “Yes” to the “Was this review helpful?” button below!

I ordered this along with a laptop bag by KP for a trip to Canada late last year.The laptop bag was gorgeous, but so befouled by odor that I was never able to use it. The duffel gave me a scare because it had a similar, but not as powerful odor when I first opened it. It's been about eight months since then and the odor has tamed down considerably, and I find myself pleased by it now.I wouldn't call it a pleasant odor, but it's become a familiar one. It's familiar, because this duffel can take an epic amount of punishment, wear and tear, inclement weather and continue to hold fast, and look good the entire time, up to and including being slung across my back through three days of intense blizzards in northern Canada.Despite being literally rained on, then frozen almost solid through three days if blizzards and gales off the water, and subjected to rough backwoods travel all over the northern countryside, it remains beautiful and more importantly, rock solid reliable. I cannot impress upon you just how ridiculously tough this bag is.It looks great, as good as any leather duffel you're going to find for ten times the price. It has a warm color spectrum that gets me compliment after compliment, and I've been called a liar by annoyed women twice when I tried to tell them where I got it and how little it cost.But none of that even matters, because apparently it was made out of John McClane's pet goat since it absolutely refuses to die, no matter how rough I am with it, or what misadventures it has the misfortune of being present for.It has been:Thoroughly rained on; near freezing downpour for several hours.Frozen almost solid; three days traveling the northwest territories in harsh blizzards and cutting winds off frozen waterDropped, kicked, thrown, strapped to the top of, back of, bed of everything from motorcycles to hummers.Across multiple time zones, various airlines, including a number of shady bush planes.Strapped to my back, or carried by my hand, doing everything from walking city streets to climbing heavily forested, snowy terrain.I forgive the horrid smelling laptop bag I never got to use, because this bag? Is the most reliable thing I've ever owned, and is just as beautiful as when it first arrived. It's a little weathered now, but just as strong and durable.Really, I don't even think of it as blemished. I think of it as character. I'm legit more worried about someone stealing it, than it failing, at this point.Absolutely worth the buy, even at five times the price.
