Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Leather Duffel Bag fit in the overhead bin of regional jets?
Yes. The Leather Duffel Bag is designed to meet standard carry-on dimensions for both major and regional carriers. Its flexible leather construction allows it to fit into tighter overhead spaces more easily than rigid hardshell luggage.
Can I use the 3-IN-1 Totebag as my primary bag for a two-day trip?
The 3-IN-1 Totebag works best for extreme minimalists or as a secondary personal item. If you are packing multiple outfits and a spare pair of shoes, we recommend using it in tandem with the Leather Duffel Bag.
Is The Hoodie Backpack accepted as a personal item under the seat?
The Hoodie Backpack is designed to fit within the underseat dimensions of most major airlines. This makes it an excellent choice for travelers who want to avoid using overhead bin space during a short trip.
