{"product_id":"the-medina-weekender-handmade-black-leather-duffle-bag","title":"The Medina Weekender — Handmade Black Leather Duffle Bag","description":"\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis bag makes no argument for itself. No pattern, no contrast stitching, no hardware doing a job it doesn't need to do. Black leather, brass, two straps down the front. That's the entire design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhich means there is nowhere for the construction to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLook at where the handles meet the body: a triangular panel of leather, stitched through, anchoring the D-ring. On a cheaper bag that join is a rivet through a single layer, and it's the first thing to tear when you load it properly. Look at the ends — a compression buckle on each side, so a half-empty bag doesn't slump into a shapeless heap on the luggage rack. Look at the zip: two sliders on leather pulls, opening from either end, riding on a leather-backed track rather than exposed tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNone of this is visible from across a room. All of it is why the bag will still be worth carrying in ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leather is full-grain, which is not a term we use loosely. It hasn't been sanded, corrected or plasticised to hide its history, so it will take marks — a scuff from a taxi boot, a darker patch where your palm sits on the handle. Within a year it will look lived-in. Within five it will look like yours specifically, which is the difference between something that ages and something that just wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside: a lined interior with a zip pocket for a passport, a charger, the things you'd otherwise excavate the whole bag to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 50 cm this carries two or three nights comfortably. A suit, shoes, a wash bag, a laptop. Soft-sided, so it gives when you need it to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHandmade in our Marrakech workshop, cut and stitched by people who have been doing this longer than most brands have existed. Because it's made by hand, small variations in grain and finish are normal — this is leather, not laminate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe quietest thing you'll pack. Probably the last one you'll need to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-grain leather throughout, in black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique brass-finish metal — D-rings, rivets, buckles, swivel clips and zip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-length top zip with \u003cstrong\u003edual sliders\u003c\/strong\u003e and leather pull tabs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolled leather top handles on triangular reinforced anchors, plus \u003cstrong\u003edetachable, length-adjustable shoulder strap\u003c\/strong\u003e with roller buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStructure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Side compression buckle straps to hold shape when partly packed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully lined with an internal zip pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 × 27 × 27 cm (19.7\" × 10.6\" × 10.6\") — approx. 36-liter capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–3 nights.
