James Weekender – Special Edition
The “James” Weekender Special Edition brings a timeless travel design into a more refined setting, combining soft suede with smooth full-grain leather. Inspired by the golden age of travel, it blends classic character with rich textures and a sophisticated look.
The contrast between the velvety suede and clean leather creates a distinctive finish, while the signature leather straps extending across the bottom add to its iconic appearance and provide extra strength and stability.
Inside, the spacious main compartment offers plenty of room for clothing, shoes, and other travel essentials. A practical zipped pocket keeps smaller valuables safely tucked away, making the “James” a reliable choice for weekend getaways, business trips, and short journeys.
Carry it your way. The detachable leather shoulder strap lets you wear it comfortably over the shoulder, while the sturdy leather handles offer a more traditional hand-carry option. A matching leather luggage tag completes the look.
Each bag is carefully handcrafted from selected natural materials, with reinforced stress points and a sturdy base designed to maintain its shape and durability through regular use.
At 50 cm in length, the “James” is designed to meet common airline carry-on requirements, making it a versatile travel companion whether you're heading by plane, train, or car.
A distinctive special edition for those who appreciate genuine materials, timeless design, and the character that comes with fine craftsmanship.
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.
