Dapperness personified, the WP Standard Military Duffel ($339) is one for those with a love of all things vintage in style.

WP Standard founder, Ryan Barr, found design inspiration for this bag from his father’s military duffle that he brought home from Vietnam. He recreated the tough, versatile, simple, and sleek design of his father’s bag in this full-grain leather recreation that will serve you loyally just as Barr’s father’s bag served him. ($339)

Matador Transit Packable Duffel Bag 30L – $50

The beauty of the weatherproof Matador Transit Packable Duffel ($50) comes from the fact that it can be packed down to be pocket sized when not in use.
