GREAT bag! It came well packaged with a dust cover and the longer strap included inside. This bag is B I G. I got it for my dad as a gym bag and was a little disappointed at how large it was when I got it, but he really liked it and wanted to keep it. He travels often for work and said it would make a great weekender bag, which it would. The laptop sleeve on the inside makes that very convenient for business travels. Its a professional looking bag that can hold a ton. It smells great as real leather often does, and is amazing quality. I know it will last a while and will be even better when the leather is worn and broken in. Dont be afraid of it changing colors and getting scratched as real leather gains its personality that way! Definitely recommend this bag, if youre looking for something professional and roomy.

Ive only had the bag for a week or less but I like it a lot. perfect size, pockets on the inside are very useful. The color is a perfect match with my Polare briefcase. Just what I was looking for. Leather is soft and premium feel. Masculine Style, Quality, and Durability. Now I just need somewhere to go...lol. Styling and Profiling!

I bought it as as HS graduation present for a young man going off to college in the fall. It will serve him well on weekend trips home.

Outstanding! At first I was unsure about buying a leather case without seeing, touching, smelling it. I shouldnt have been. The quality of the bag - from the rich leather, to the strong zippers, to the incredible style - are even better than what I would have hoped for.

Love the look and feel of the bag. Gave it to my boyfriend for Christmas and he just used it for travel last week. Unfortunately, both zipper pulls broke off as he was putting his laptop back in the bag after going through security. Had to spend the rest of the week struggling with closing the zipper. Too late to return so not sure what to do now

I travel on short trips and wanted a duffel that I could fit in small plane overheads - dont misunderstand me - this is a fairly big bag but its shape fits in the overhead of a small plane I fly on regularly. I fit two full days of clothing, sneakers, laptop (in a nice side pocket) gym clothes and toiletries in the bag. Its fairly thick leather and it retains its shape beautifully. Hardware is great - aesthetically fits the bag beautifully - very masculine looking bag. When it arrived it had a strong leather smell and a faint chemical smell - leaving it out for a few days got rid of the chemical smell but it still smells like leather - I hope that stays because it smells great. This is a well priced bag - I priced out coach, tumi and others - this was much cheaper, looks great and did exactly what I needed - great purchase.

I ordered two different leather bags from Polare. One of them was the retro style Weekender Travel Duffel. I have already taken it on one trip and it fit everything I could need for a weekend get away in a very compact and light form. I am not worried about the zippers failing like I would be on most other luggage that I use. Overall very happy and excited to use it for future trips.

I take a lot of weekend trips, and I have been looking for a nice leather overnight bag. This fits the bill perfectly. I was surprised by the size when I received it, it is perfect for me. The quality and construction seem top notch. Zippers seem very strong, this is where my previous bag had failed me. I dont think Ill have that problem with this bag. I chose Dark Brown and Im very pleased by it. Will update this review after a few uses.

Wow!!! This bag greatly exceeded expectations!! Wife and I just got back from Florence, Italy, the fine leather capital of the universe. Spent hours looking for a similar bag at many stores there. It was rather easy to find a bag like this for 500 Euros {$525} or more. Just too expensive for my wallet. My wife took a chance on this bag from Amazon and it arrived just in time for Fathers Day. This is a heavy belting leather style duffel bag that is amazingly well constructed with very precise stitching all around. This type leather is made to show the “character marks” that tell the tales of your travels. (It is NOT the bright shiny leather that you don’t ever want to get scratched up.). I got the dark brown version and it is perfect. The bag came with a one year manufactures warranty. I can see my family fighting over possession of this bag soon after I depart for the Pearly Gates some day!

Phenomenal product!
