Its signature side buckles allow the bag to be folded into a compact weekender or opened into a spacious, sculptural tote. With a 38-litre capacity, it comfortably holds everything you need for a three- to four-day trip.
Chestnut Brown – warm, rich and unmistakable.
Made from full-grain cowhide leather, the warm chestnut finish develops a beautiful depth and character over time. Grey-brown cotton fabric, YKK EverBright® metal zips and antique-brass hardware add understated luxury, while keeping the overall look refined and timeless.
From the train platform to the grand hotel.
Designed to adapt to every part of the journey, Marcello features a convenient front pocket and an interior zip pocket for keeping essentials organised.

A reinforced base provides added protection when the bag is placed down, wherever the journey takes you.
Crafted with care. Built for journeys worth remembering.
Made through numerous skilled craftsmanship processes, Marcello is more than a travel bag. It is a distinctive companion that combines versatile design, premium materials and practical functionality—ready for weekend escapes, business trips and everything in between.
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.

FAQs: Frequently asked questions about our Travel Bag »Marcello«
Can I take Marcello on board a plane as cabin baggage?
Not necessarily on every airline. Marcello measures 50 × 30 × 25 cm and may be accepted as cabin baggage if the airline permits a depth of 25 cm. Many airlines, however, limit cabin baggage depth to 20 or 23 cm. Thanks to its soft construction, Marcello can be compressed slightly when it is not fully packed. Ultimately, the packed bag’s actual external dimensions and permitted weight are what matter. Before travelling, always check the cabin baggage requirements of the operating airline for your specific fare and route.
How many days of travel is Marcello suitable for?
With a capacity of 38 litres, Marcello typically holds enough for a three- to four-day trip. The actual duration depends on how you pack, the season and how much clothing and other luggage you take.
Which toiletry bag matches the Marcello travel bag?
For Marcello in Chocolate Brown, we recommend the Dino toiletry bag in the same colour. Made from the same leather, it complements your weekender perfectly in both material and shade. Its compact size keeps your essential toiletries neatly organised without taking up much space in your luggage – the perfect matching companion for your next weekend away.
Is Marcello weatherproof and suitable for rain?
No. Marcello is neither water-repellent nor waterproof. If the travel bag may be briefly exposed to a rain shower, we recommend applying a colourless leather protector suitable for the specific type of leather. Always test the product first on an inconspicuous area and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding application, drying and safety. Please note that treating the leather does not make Marcello waterproof, so prolonged or heavy exposure to moisture should be avoided.
What makes Marcello’s YKK Everbright® metal zips special?
YKK Everbright® metal zips are, so to speak, the S-Class of zips: exceptionally well made, smoothly polished and pleasantly fluid to use. Their enhanced corrosion resistance helps the surface and shine stay beautiful for longer. Marcello’s main zip also features a generous YKK size 8 chain, making it easy to grip and guide. It is a durable, high-quality detail that you will appreciate every time you use the bag.
How does Marcello change shape, and how can the bag be carried?
With the side straps fastened, Marcello forms a compact weekender. When opened, it unfolds into a generous XL tote. The open side straps can be threaded through loops at the lower side panels so that they do not protrude. Marcello can be carried using its leather handles, with the detachable shoulder strap, or attached to a wheeled suitcase using the rear trolley sleeve.
Who is Marcello suitable for as a gift?
Marcello makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who regularly takes weekend, short or business trips and appreciates distinctive, well-crafted luggage. It is particularly well suited as a gift for partners, fathers, friends, managers or business partners – for occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, weddings or retirement.
