Luggage Bags and Packs
-
Hi All,
I need some help here - I've been looking to buy a new leather briefcase or bag and I have no idea who makes quality pieces.
I have been told to check out the following brands:
Ghurka
Marcellino NY
Mr. LentzBut I know nothing about this world. Please let me know who makes top quality leather bags. I'm most interested in light brown to vegetable tanned bags.
Thanks

@phillyforager take a look at https://www.vermilyeapelle.com/
Never owned one of their bags but they look very good and get glowing reviews from owners on Styleforum. -
@phillyforager Lotuff Leather and Frank Clegg both do briefcases.
Lotuff tend to be more modern, and I think that they use a softer leather for some of their bags. But they're possibly a bit fussier with more pockets, pen holders, and zips. Frank Clegg use stiffer and heavier hide, are generally more traditional, and tend to have fewer bells and whistles.

I love Gurkha; they get my vote.

Finally got my Master-Piece lightning shoulder sling. Love the size, materials and that it’s made in Japan. I’m gonna use this at the State Fair tomorrow, so it’ll be nice not having a backpack this time. The shoulder sling looks and feels like an actual seatbelt [emoji1]

Has anyone ordered cheap Filson duffle from Ebay? Knockoff, factory second or real deal?

I see no reason not to trust the seller. They have 100% feedback and accept returns (with a restocking fee). When in doubt, contact the seller and ask questions.

Thanks for the answer. I noticed there is a return possibility, but since I will order it to our hotel when visiting in states I prefer not to have any hassle.

what about DSPTCH? i've been looking at the 3sixteen collab model. looks good, decent size.
I picked one of these up a few months ago and really really like it. Previously I was using a Goruck GR1. The 3sixteen/dspatch is a bit smaller but i find it more enjoyable so far. I can get pictures if need be.
I've even though of getting another color as a backup. [emoji23]

Same boat, wanted a GR1 for a while but recently picked up the Daypack by DSPTCH and it's perfect. Good size, and feels pretty well made to me. Definitely recommend it.

All this DSPTCH talk has talked me into this little beauty!
Sorry for the sideways pics!

Nice bag @Anesthetist. I like the way that Dyneema creases up.
You do realise if you kept your addiction under control, you'd have been able to afford a Bole rucksack years ago?
-
I do love how dyneema creases and crumples. I have a Hauly that almost looks like leather it has so much character.
And as for the King of all Rucksacks, that thought has crossed my mind [emoji23]

Maybe that I missed the topic. But won't withhold this beauty:
An handcrafted Rucksack from skilled Russian named Nikita on Behance. This was over € 1000 but worth every cent.
IMO the best available but weights over 4 kg :o
Out of heavy natural canvas and smooth leather -
My bag for daily office.Herz, made in Japan (from where else?)

@Anesthetist do you travel with it much as checked luggage? I've looked at Rimowa a few times but can only seem to find horror stories with them in checked luggage. I've done around 60-70 international legs/trips over the last few years with my Briggs and Riley and it's still looking like the day I purchased it in 2012, which is great, but I am expecting at some point it'll have it's last day and the warranty isn't great from Australia, so will need a plan b. I like the idea of Rimowa, but practically from what I've read I can't find any reviews that say a Rimowa can hold up to that level of international checked abuse. Thoughts?

Ended up picking up a GR2 34L over xmas as a travel back. The Briggs and Riley backpack's TSA approved section ended up giving me the shits as the TSA never accepted it as approved… should get a chance to give it a work out over Jan...
So far it's been the perfect bag to travel with @ airports, and use as a day bag for the office. It's also been enjoyable to use as a laundry bag as it can hold so much. Contented hopefully finally for a long time!
And another lap around the planet and still sticking by this. Bag search for travel is done and dusted!
Lost track of laps now (too many :|). Next lap starts today, same combo, still feeling perfect with it. 9 months and good as day 1. Build quality is flawless and it's been through a lot of abuse.
Still going strong 30-35 laps around the globe (60-70 int'l legs)
