Venezia

Sean Connery's Bond would use it. Roger Moore's probably wouldn't.

The Venezia Duffle is a serious leather travel bag. The real deal. And just like Connery's Bond, it's understated. It knows you'll notice…

How? Well, the BIG leather smell, for starters. Not the dainty perfume of a paper-thin man-bag, but a proper leather smell: rich, earthy and masculine. The sort that makes a room smell like home, and your clothes smell like you.

Then there's the sheer weightiness of the leather. It has substance. It's thick, grained and rugged, and although it's soft and pliable, it rolls when you fold it, rather than creasing. Not surprising really, when you consider it's hand-crafted in Tuscany, using polished calf-skin.

Of course, there's more to it than Italian leather. Inside, it's lined with classic 100% cotton/denim, and there's an interior zipped pocket for your wallet, passport, phone, etc. Plus, all the seams are double-stitched, the handles are reinforced, and all the zips and other hardware are brass.

Sized just right for an overnight trip (and for stowing overhead on a plane), the Venezia Duffle is the perfect leather travel bag for any man.

Except maybe Roger Moore.
