Leather Holdall Vintage Style Duffle Bag Ridgeback

The bag that goes everywhere with you.

The Ridgeback Vintage Holdall is one of those bags you end up using constantly because it just works. Weekend away? Sorted. Gym? Yep. Business trip? Absolutely. It’s that perfect size where you can fit everything you need without it becoming unwieldy.

It’s handcrafted with proper attention to detail, not mass-produced, and you can tell. The materials are quality, the stitching is solid, and it’s built to handle years of being thrown in car boots, overhead lockers, and train luggage racks.

The shoulder strap is padded so it’s actually comfortable even when the bag’s full, and it’s adjustable and detachable, so you can carry it how you like or just use the top handles if that’s easier. There are side clips that let you cinch it down when it’s not packed full, which is handy for keeping it compact and stopping it flopping about.

Inside, there are slip pockets for your smaller bits so you’re not fishing around for your phone or keys at the bottom of the bag. And at 1800g, it’s light enough that you’re not adding loads of weight before you’ve even packed anything.

What you’re getting:

• Handcrafted with quality materials
• Adjustable, detachable, padded shoulder strap
• Top carry handles
• Inside slip pockets
• Side clips to keep it compact
• Size: 51 × 28 × 25 cm
• Weight: 1800g

Why you’d actually use it

Because it’s the right size for real trips. Not one of those tiny bags where you have to sit on it to get the zip closed, and not so massive that it’s a pain to carry. Just properly useful.

And it’s got that vintage look that doesn’t go out of style. It’s not trying to be trendy, it’s just well-made and classic. The kind of bag that looks better after a few years of use than it does brand new.

Looking after it

Give it a wipe down with a dry cloth after muddy weekends or rainy commutes. That’s about it. It’s made to be used, not kept pristine.
