The »James« Weekender (45 cm) is the deliberately more compact version of our classic – developed for everyone who wants to travel light, flexibly, and stylishly. Inspired by the jet-set life of past decades, it combines the elegant vintage charm of the 60s with a modern, minimalist design language.
With its handier dimensions, this weekender is the ideal choice for short trips, business travel, or as a stylish everyday accessory. It is particularly suitable for travelers who consciously pack less – and therefore also perfect for women or anyone who prefers a lighter, more compact bag.
Crafted from full-grain, high-quality buffalo leather, this smaller version also impresses with its robustness and ability to develop an individual patina over time. Each bag is meticulously handcrafted from natural materials – durable, sustainable, and finished with great attention to detail. Reinforced stress points provide stability, while the clean lines emphasize its timeless elegance.
The well-designed interior offers ample space for clothes and travel essentials, complemented by an internal zippered compartment for valuables and a practical exterior pocket for quick access. A high-quality leather luggage tag stylishly completes the overall look.
With dimensions of 45 × 27 × 22 cm and a low net weight, the weekender is ideal as carry-on luggage – even with airlines with stricter regulations. Whether on a plane, train, or car: »James« (45 cm) is the perfect companion for everyone who travels consciously and doesn't want to compromise on style.
Perhaps you have already noticed that our bags are different.
The bag made of canvas and leather is almost completely handmade in many individual steps. Our master bag makers and saddlers need years of training to be able to produce bags of this quality.
We value natural and high-quality materials and pay attention to sustainability and the environment. GENUINE BUFFALO LEATHER, 100% COTTON, a high material strength and the complete absence of synthetic fibers in our outer fabrics characterize our bags. Handmade premium quality you can feel!
Leather is a natural material and may have small imperfections. Each leather product is also patinated by hand. This complex process makes our products unmistakable. No bag can be exactly like another. Small color deviations are unfortunately unavoidable and not a sign of poor quality.
