hi everyone!

what're your guys' thoughts on the duffle bag? i rarely see any mention of it, but i tried it on and i fell in love with the shape and look! it's so unique and i'm in love with the aesthetic.

i'm heavily considering it for my next bag, but honestly, i'm a little worried due to the lack of in-depth reviews of the bag. i wonder how practical it is for daily use?

thank you!! <3
 
I wanted the duffle too, but passed because of the s-lock. My SA said that a lot of people end up rejecting or returning bags with an s-lock. S-locks are a little tricky to lock/unlock when you're in a rush imo. Some people leave their duffle bag open, but I feel like the "interesting" factor is how the bag looks when it's closed.

Another reason why I passed on it was that it fits less than my cannes. At minimum, I carry a medical pouch, wallet, keys, and sunglasses. It was able to fit everything, but I wasn't a fan of how snug everything was in there.

My aunt bought the duffle. Two months later, she sold it. She thought it was a cute bag too, but ultimately it was just a fun summer weekend bag, so not worth keeping.

If your daily life is brunch and shopping, I think duffle will be fine. If you carry two bags to work, a "nice" one and a work bag, I think you'll be fine. If you don't have any small crossbodies, duffle is fine. If you want a crossbody with room to spare, I would get something a little bigger.
 
I was interested in the time trunk duffle last year, but passed on it, since the little handle was not removable, and the lock was inconvenient like daisy913 states.
