Very good looking bag. Smells great and has a nice classic look. Very very roomy and quality looks good. I only wish the tops were a little more rounded than the squared off look they have, but still a great bag. Would buy again.

This is a very nice bag...picture does not do it justice!

Beautifully made of high quality construction. It was s gift and is valued by the recipient.

What a wonderful bag. The handles are soft and very comfortable to carry with you. I will be enjoying it for many years to come.

This is the second duffle I have ordered in Polare’s line. One for husband and now for my son who will be traveling off to college. These bags are amazing and you will receive comments on the bag everywhere you go! You can’t go wrong with any of Polares products believe me I have ordered almost all of them for my husband.

I was introduced to this company via a Christmas gift from my wife. She bought me a shoulder bag/day pack; I use it daily and love it. So when I saw this duffel bag, I immediately thought of my brother given all the travel he does. We decided to get one for him as a gift. Upon receiving it, I was almost jealous; Unwrapping it was an experience. But the bag... A true work of art. The stitching and craftsmanship are the same quality as my shoulder pack. Heavy duty zipper and soft inside lining. I obviously cant yet speak for durability, but if its anything like my shoulder pack, I expect my brother will have this for many years to come. (I cant wait to see his face when he receives it.) Seriously... My wife is dropping mad hints she wants one too. Very well worth the money!

I purchased a smaller version of this item a few months ago, and liked it so much that I ordered its big brother. This is a quality piece of luggage, well-made, fits overhead compartment on airplane and is roomy enough for several days worth of clothing, etc.

***Update 4/7/21*** After traveling with this bag over the past 2 weeks, I am impressed by how it holds up. A few adjustments in strap length made this more comfortable to wear. It can handle heavy items and should be packed evenly. If not, it will crease and look not as attractive. I received several compliments on this bag at the airport and hotels. Its pretty. No doubt. But, the one issue I have is how functional it can be on the fly. The zippers are amazingly robust, but when the bag creases as its carried on the shoulder or placed on the ground, its often difficult to open. A couple of tabs to help pull the zipper straight would be great. I currently just use the strap eyelet, but a leather tab sewed in discretely in this general area would help improve its functionality. And while the same can be said about the side zipper pockets, there cant be much done without altering the smooth and simple design on the front. But, simply put, this bag is an awesome travel companion, fits under the seat on a plane and travels really well. I can fit about 1 week of clothes and necessities in here, so its certainly more than a weekender, whilst maintaining a very manageable form factor. ***Original Review*** Im a huge Polare bag fan and it was about time I upgraded my travel game with this duffel. Ive started traveling for work again, so it couldnt hurt to have a nicer carryon than a roller bag. Although, Im not a fan of shoulder strap bags at the airport, Id cave for a bag of this caliber. So, once I try it on my first road trip (1-2 weeks) Ill be sure to update this review. As with any Polar bag, they knock the quality out of the park. The stitching is solid, strap constrivtion and seams are sturdy and the bag is certainly built to last. The zippers are always a sticking point for me with bags in general and I can say Ive never had an issue with a Polare bag and I do not forsee having an issue here as these are the same high quality zippers Ive seen with their bags before. I love the tanning and the smell of freshly sewn leather. Its incredibly soft and supple. The only downside is overstuffing full grain leather bags tends to wreck havoc on their lifespan. Take care and do not overstuff! Ive also run into issues where the leather tanning does rub off onto clothing. Its best to take a damp microfiber cloth and wipe down the excess thats potentially on these kinds of bags to ensure it doesnt make it onto your white shirts (its happened to me a few times before). Make sure to dry the bag afterwards. I love the style and versatile nature. I plan to use the shoulder strap the most, but its so nice to have the extra handles for portability and maneuvering. Especially on an airplane. The handles and straps are very well made. The stitching on the handles is superb and the shoulder strap comes with very heavy duty hardware. Storage wise there is tons of space. The bag features a few pockets inside - two shallow grab and go style pockets along with a zippered pocket and a deeper, unzippered, grab and go compartment suited for a phone or smaller tablet. There is also an external zippered pocket for storing wallets or important docs. The bag expands when fully unzipped and has expanded joints to support the sides and zippers. The quality and attention to detail are amazing. The liner is also a huge plus. Super soft and lofty. Makes the inside of the bag feel very premium. Love the upgrade. Overall, I love this bag.. its super functional and exceptionallly well made. The only thing is I wish this bag was a bit more compartmentalized. I would have like to have seen a shoe compartment and maybe a hidden/integrated laptop compartment for ease of access.

I bought this to replace an old nylon gym bag hoping it would look more professional and be more durable and it is that on both counts.i wondered if it would be big enough. it is absolutely sturdy and rugged, and elegant enough for public travel. what a great buy.
