Know Your Leather
Crafted for those who move fast but expect longevity, the Brooklyn Duffel’s full-grain cowhide leather is thick, structured, and tough as it is elegant. It’s not just leather—it’s a lifetime material. The waxed canvas shell is naturally water-resistant, ensuring your gear stays protected through sudden downpours or messy terminals. Over time, it picks up marks and softens in the right places, telling your story without saying a word. Smooth YKK zippers and reinforced metal hardware round out a construction built for frequent use — not fragile weekends.
Smartly designed storage to keep your essentials in order.
Know Your Space
A 17" laptop pocket, hidden zip compartments, and dedicated card and pen sleeves make the Brooklyn more than just a dump-and-go duffel. It’s a travel system that respects your rhythm. No more digging for that charger or ticket—everything has its place. With its ideal 23” length (also available in 21.7” and 26” versions), it slides into overhead bins without question and carries up to 38L of your essentials. Gym run? Business trip? City escape? One bag. Always ready.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.7 / 5 from 31 reviews.
I'm awaiting a response from James Leather regarding my returning the bag due to frayed leather straps on top the bag. The bag itself is roomy, with several smaller inside pockets, and appears well made. I've made three requests for contact from the company about the return but have yet to receive a call, email or text.

Purchased as a gift. It is a very well made and attractive bag. The recipient was very pleased.
The leather and overall construction of the bag is great. The only reason this is not a 5 star rating is the canvas color is not the grey pictured on the site. The canvas of the bag I received has a brown/purple tone to it which was disappointing as I really like the color that is pictured.

Happy to hear you love your bag. Enjoy!
Bag was exactly as described. Great size for a carry on which is why I bought it. The craftsmanship is great and the look and feel are just as expected. I have only used for overnight so far but am planning to use for a longer trip coming up. Plenty of pockets for storage. Nice product
Thanks
Purchased this duffel bag to avoid having to use a suitcase for a short weekend getaway. Used the duffel bag for the first time this past weekend. It worked very well and was roomy enough to hold all of my travel items. The only regret was that it was very heavy. I think the combination of the duffel bag materials, i.e. leather, canvas, along with my travel items made it heavy for me to carry. Need to consider that when packing for my next trip. Also, one of the leather straps did not match the other three.
Wanted a functional, durable bag that would last a lifetime. Product looks and feels like I made a great purchase. Bought for my son's. Have not used yet. Will have to buy myself one.
