Looking for a great leather weekend bag? Hopefully we can help. To clarify things, based on our research, a “weekend bag” is not really a specific type of leather luggage with special features, but simply another name for luggage that can hold one to three days worth of clothes and personals (i.e a weekend!). Certainly, any leather tote bags and related leather travel bags fit into this category as well.
In searching for a great choice, we set some baseline criteria. First, we did not want to break the bank and settled for reasonably priced, high quality leather bags (under $300). Second, we wanted the bag to be a leather duffle bag and not a generic tote or carry all style. Third, it had to be constructed of decent quality leather (price affects this). Finally, it had to be available online so our readers could have a shot of buying one without driving too far.
The choice we recommend is the Cenzo Duffle Leather Weekend Bag. This is a handmade bag made in Tuscany, Italy by Floto. As you can see, it is a beautiful brown leather bag and can be easily carried on to any planes. It is made of calf skin leather, adding to the luxurious look while also being of high quality. The sheen is due to Floto’s “vegetable dye” treatment giving it a european finish. The included shoulder strap is detachable and the bag also has an inside zippered pocket. The great thing is the price – you should be able to score one for just under $200. This is a great deal of imported Italian leather. Finally, if you maintain it with a nice Lexol conditioner, it should retain that new look.
One other thing we liked for the price is the Floto guarantee and warranty. While it is not lifetime, you do get 2 years of warranty due to any manufacturer defect. As an aside, if your top priority is the ultimate warranty, check out the Hartmann Belting Leather Line. While you will pay near $600 for their men’s leather bags, this is probably the best warranty on the market today – essentially lifetime with coverage for any defect or damage (including airline caused) possible.
Overall, we really love the Cenzo Duffle Bag above and think it is a fantastic deal, especially for what you are getting. Do not just take our word, look at the reviews online and decide for yourself. Either way, we hope you find a great leather weekend bag!
