Characterised by a roomy main compartment, detachable shoulder strap and grab handles, the duffle bag is an on-the-go storage solution of utmost versatility. Often used as gym bags or as a weekend travel bag, increasingly the duffle receives outings as a day bag thanks to the multitasking requirements (office essentials, activewear, groceries) our modern lifestyles demand.
That means besides multiple carrying options and easy-access external pockets, duffle bags must also be able to withstand the rigours of different usage with water-repellent, abrasion-resistant, ultralight quality materials. The likes of the Patagonia Black Hole and the enduring appeal of The North Face’s Base Camp have long been top picks in this category of durable duffles.
Of course, those more style-centric brands have not left this category in the hands of their purely function-focused piers. Brands from Bennett Winch to Gucci and The Row have all imbued the duffle bag with high-end features like dedicated shoe compartments, zippered pockets and internal dividers alongside an altogether more refined aesthetic.
Running the gamut between convenient backcountry overnight bag and business travel flex, our edit incorporates a duffle bag in every evolution. Shop them all below…
