The same exceptional construction as our black duffel, in a warm tan that shows off the natural character of full-grain leather. This bag will develop the most beautiful patina of any in our collection — deepening from honey to rich caramel over years of travel.

Materials & Craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Cape Town from full-grain vegetable-tanned leather — 100% chrome-free, tanned with mimosa and quebracho bark. University of Stellenbosch 2025 tests measured 42 N/mm² average tear strength, nearly double chrome-tanned alternatives (21–28 N/mm²). Designed to last 12–25 years, developing a distinctive patina with every trip.
Built for Travel
A leather duffel bag is the ultimate travel companion. Whether heading on a weekend away, a business trip, or to the gym, this bag combines generous capacity with timeless style. Full-grain leather is naturally water-resistant and handles the rigours of travel — scratches and marks blend into the natural patina rather than showing as damage. Made in Cape Town, South Africa, by artisans with decades of experience.
Shipping & Returns
Free worldwide delivery on every order. South African orders: 2–4 business days via Bob Go. International: 3–7 business days via FedEx and DHL (tracked and insured). 14-day returns on unused items.
Care Instructions
Wipe with a dry cloth after travel. Condition the leather once or twice a year. Full-grain leather handles moisture well and dries naturally. Store in the provided dust bag. The patina that develops with use is a mark of quality.
